"I've been to Jewel a few times now and as always the service and the food were excellent. Each visit I try something different. This time I opted for one of the specials which were scallops over a risotto. I can't tell you which was better - everything just melted as I ate it. For an appetizer I had the lobster mac & cheese which was absolutely amazing!"

"Excellent food. Went here for Long Island Restaurant Week and was very pleasantly surprised. It's in an odd but convenient location. Lively, looks like a fun place to go with friends (was a bit noisy, but we were able to have a conversation at our table with no problem) and I enjoyed the vibrancy of it. Was pricey but all this was compensated for with the excellent meal. Would definitely go back."

"We've been to Jewel before, but this week we went for Restaurant Week. Despite the busy crowd, the food was delicious, service impeccable, servings quite generous, and the ambiance was really cool. A little bit of Palm Springs, and Manhattan on Long Island!"

"Our party was 11 people, we had a reservation and we waited 25 minutes to be seated. Couldn't wait at the bar as most were under 21. Service was inattentive. Food was good, not great.Lobster with Risotto was delicious. Butternut Squash lasagna was not. Birthday dessert showed up with an unlit candle. Tom Shaudel has great restaurants, this is not one of his best when it comes to service."

"We came for mother's day dinner, which was a fixed menu with many of the regular entrees on it. All courses from appetizers to dessert were very good and presented well. The space is huge and the decor is off beat and funky. The wine list is not as impressive as the see through wine cellar would inspire and the selections are dominated by local wines. The food is tasty, if somewhat trendy in the combinations and plating, but well worth the time and investment especially for a date or special occasion. The staff is friendly but at times not as polished as you might expect. But this takes nothing away from the experience. We would return."

"Enjoy dining here always during LI Restaurant week. Usually the normal menu is too expensive for anything other than special occasions.
However, the place is so beautiful, food is excellent and service is attentive.
This year found that the price fix menu didn't offer enough standard choices without having to pay an up charge( supplemental) which this year was much higher than previous. Some of those charges were totally ridiculous. (16.00, 20.00 & 22.00) 0ver an already increased price fix. Even the skirt steak was increased to 10.00 extra over 5.00 previously.

"From start to finish, the service and food was fabulous
Very professional but not overly obtrusive service, food was outstanding in taste and presentation
I would highly recommend for a power lunch, dinner or a nice dinner with a loved one or one you are trying to impress
The restaurant week portions were same size as usual and there was a nice selection of apps and entrees and the toms birthday cake for dessert really made the whole experience feel special. When the bread comes out warm, fresh and delicious, I know tht I am on for a nice dining experience

"My husband & I made a reservation for 6;15and arrived at 6:10. The hostess wanted to sit us at the bar. We told her we wanted to sit in the dining room. We were told it would be a 15 minute wait. We said ok. After waiting about 20 minutes we saw the hostess sitting a couple that arrived well after we did. When I questioned this we were told that she "forgot " about us and again tried to sit us at the bar. We again said no. She told us it would be 15 minutes. I objected and told her that waiting a half hour when I made a reservation was unacceptable and asked to speak with the Manager. He gave us a table almost immediately. The waiter forgot to bring us bread and the coffees we ordered.Food was well prepared."

"Horrible!!!!! For more than one reason....
1) We had reservations through open table (9:00pm on a Saturday). The hostess had a table ready immediately. She walked us to a bar top table adjacent to the large bar. We were sandwiched in between two other tables. We asked to switch seats and they said the wait would be an additional 20 minutes. So we remained at a bar top. Normally, this would not bother me. But the fact is for the price you pay for food, this type of seating should not be what you receive! I feel like these are the tables they use when they overbook!!
2) Filet mignon was dry and horrible. Staff was told and they did nothing about it!
There is not enough room here to write my review!

"We went with a reasonably large group for my 21st birthday. The wait staff was wonderful and most of the food was outstanding. What wasn't outstanding was just good, which still wasn't bad. The lump crab with mango was amazing. Great wine selection too."

"Excellent fresh bread to start the meal. Loved the beet salad with beets prepared several ways. Duck was delicious. Rice a bit salty but otherwise an interesting blend of sweet and salty that worked."

"Another great dining spot by Tom Schaudel. Food was delicious - appetizers Beet Salad and Almost Caesar were yummy, and we both sprung for the Lobster, each of which contained a full 1-1/4 lb. Only off note was our waitress, who didn't seem to have a service personality - everyone else was excellent, however. We sat upstairs, which meant we could converse easily. However, by 8:50 when we left, even the main area seemed to have only a moderate noise level. The place was jumping when we arrived, which made me happy, as I'm glad to see one of our fave LI chefs succeed again. Lots of parking, both self-park or valet. Whether you work anywhere near Route 110 or not, definitely go."

"This place is in a very odd place, it looks like an office building and was hard to find. Once you walk in it is very surprising and very attractive. The food was excellant, however my appetizer the octopus was very tough. I told the server, who told the chef. They took it off the bill and offered us a after dinner Moscato. I really appreciate that type of service. Other than that the food was very very good. I would recommend."

"the vibe inside the place was alive and energetic. the food was delicious and the presentation was great. the waiter staff was friendly and attentive. unfortunately we were not able to experiencethe full beauty of the restaurantdue to the fact that we were seated right next to the bar on a hockey table with bar stools. even with reservations well in advance we were not able to sit in the main dining area. we were told we would have to wait an additional 45 minutes from out 8 o'clock reservation time if we wanted to sit in the dining room. if I wanted to sit and eat next to a bar I could have went to a pub but we were there to enjoy the beauty of the restaurant. The food was great, seating location was less then expected."
