Best Chain
Restaurant
Cheesecake Factory
Multiple Locations.
thecheesecakefactory.com
You don’t have to wait for hours to get a table at
the Cheesecake Factory here, but elsewhere in
the world you might, because this chain, voted
Best on Long Island, is one of the most popular
purveyors of casual cuisine on Earth. It’s funny
that it’s called a factory, because there’s nothing
industrial about it. It feels more like a temple to
the gods of great eating. You can choose from
250 offerings, made fresh, daily. The portions are
generous and the selection is mind-boggling, but
don’t forget to leave room for dessert!
Best Chef
Chef Brian Finn, Storyville
American Table
43 Green St., Huntington. 631-351-3446.
storyvilleamericantable.com
We have greatness in our midst, and his name
is Brian Finn of Storyville American Table,
recognized as the Best Chef on Long Island for
his masterful preparation, his mouth-watering
presentation, and his awe-inspiring commitment
to utter perfection. Hey, baby, this guy can really
cook! You don’t have to go to the Big Easy for
a taste of the good life. He brings the best from
New Orleans right to your table in Huntington.
Throw in some of his famous BBQ shrimp, and
you’ve got an unforgettable meal. When Chef
Finn is wielding the knife on the chopping block,
you can bet that even standard Cajun and Creole
offerings like jambalaya, étouffée and po’ boys
will be a cut above the rest!
Best Chinese
Restaurant

Jen’s Chinese Food isn’t your run-of-the-mill
Long Island Chinese restaurant. Jen promises
that every dish that comes out of her kitchen
is “made with love.” And you can taste it! With
house specials like lemon chicken and butterfly
shrimp, you are in for a tasty treat! It’s no
wonder why Long Islanders consistently rank

Restaurant on Long Island!
Best Chinese
Restaurant
National Winner:
P.F. Chang’s
Multiple Locations. pfchangs.com
When Long Islanders crave high-quality Chinese
dishes, they head to P.F. Chang’s. That’s because
this national chain serves fresh, flavorful Asian
cuisine made with the finest ingredients, while
also providing a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere
for customers to enjoy their meals. Soup,
noodles, sesame chicken and every luscious dish
in between, it’s P.F. Chang’s all the way!
Best Diner
CJ’s Cofee Shop
225 N. Long Beach Rd., Rockville Centre.
516-766-9107. cjscoffeeshop.com
An old-fashioned vibe, family-friendly service
and maybe the best coffee for miles around
combine to make CJ’s Coffee Shop a real
winner in this coveted category. For breakfast,
its pancakes and bacon have legions of fans,
and its daily homemade lunch specials will
please the wallet as much as the belly. A recent
sampling included a “Blue Plate Special” quiche
with a salad along with a beverage and a cup of
homemade soup and a grilled chicken-avocadomelted
mozzarella “Panini of the Day” spritzed
with balsamic dressing and served with mac
salad. These platters won’t bust your budget—
they’ll blow your mind. And make sure you leave
room for dessert. You’ll be glad you did!
Best Family Style
Restaurant
Ciao Baby
Multiple Locations. ciaobabyrestaurant.com
Bring your appetite to Ciao Baby, an Italian
joint that’s a throwback to the days of Sinatra.
Order the rice ball for the entire table and get
ready for something the size of a football, filled
with delectable rice, peas, fresh mozzarella and
meat, drenched in their iconic red sauce. From
meatballs and sausages to a pasta menu that will
knock your socks off, this is the place to go for
some old-fashioned home-cooked Italian just like
mama used to make!
Best French
Restaurant
Brasserie Persil
2825 Long Beach Rd., Oceanside.
516-992-1742. persilrestaurant.com
Savor this place, mes amis! Brasserie Persil
has been voted the Best French Restaurant
on Long Island! With ties to its sister, Sage
Bistro in Bellmore, this Oceanside venue has
won acclaim for serving the finest and freshest
French cuisine imaginable in a comfortably
cozy, upscale environment replete with lots of
dark wood, striped brocade banquettes and an
inviting ambiance. The service is excellent, from
the busboys to the waitstaff; they’re friendly,
observant and competent. The food is moderately
priced, and the fare has some delicious surprises,
depending on what night you decide to dine. The
octopus salad is a special treat, the steak frites
never disappoint, and the dark chocolate mousse
is divine. Mais oui, it’s a winner, indeed!
