Great food and atmosphere. Ordered so much food. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious. Ordered a burger and a side of Mexican street corn. Street corn was underwhelming since I grew up eating this stuff. Big list of drinks, all very good.

My husband and I took our daughters here for dinner and they've been asking to go back ever since. We all tried new and different things and they all quickly became favorites! (Cornbread, wings, mac and cheese, sushi fried chicken and more). Our server Jared was attentive and helped make the experience even better. Plan on returning soon!

We visited on Christmas Eve for the first time, and it was also our first time dining out on Christmas Eve in general. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. The decor was beautiful and very interesting, and the atmosphere felt calm and enjoyable since it wasn’t too busy when we went. Our server was very kind and attentive. The menu offered a great selection, and the food was excellent, perfectly seasoned with generous portions that were absolutely worth the price. We also really appreciated that they offer a kids menu, which made the experience even better for our family. My only small issue was for me personally , I was a little cold inside. The bathrooms were very clean which was also nice. We truly enjoyed our visit and plan to return soon.

Friends invited us and it was a wonderful dinner. Good friends, good food and good ambiance. Our server, Meghan was attentive, professional, and very funny. The perfect Friday night.

Great food and service! Very unique atmosphere. We had the Yard Bird and the Filet mignon sandwich. Both were very good. The filet was cooked to perfection and very tender.

Where do I even begin? Called for a last-minute reservation for our anniversary, I thought I’d take a shot at trying to get in on a Saturday night at 9 PM and whoever answered the phone made it work for us. The entire staff made our anniversary special, greeted us with champagne and wished us a happy anniversary, I was not expecting that, but they really made our night SO special. I know they are under new ownership so I wanted to mention they are doing an outstanding job. I can’t wait to visit again for my birthday coming up. Thank you again to the staff at beginnings!! We ordered the Spicy tuna sushi, Spicy tuna cakes, The meatloaf, Eggplant meatballs. ALL AMAZINGGG.

Everything from the moment I walked through the door until I left was perfection! Staff, ambiance, cocktails, and food were on point. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted with smiles from everyone. Both the cocktail and food menus are extensive, and there is something for everyone to indulge. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection and quite honestly, the best I've ever had. Our bartender Adam was very accommodating and made me the best hand-crafted cocktail (that wasn't on the menu) and crafted it exactly to my desired taste. Management is top notch and very hands-on, and the new owners are incredible. I'm sorry that I didn't get more pictures of the food but we were too hungry and couldn't wait! I already can't wait to go back!

The library decor on the inside gives an unique ambiance. Service is always good and the piece of fish I ordered was delicious.

Really a fun place to go! Definitely love the decor. Food was good as well. We went on a theme evening but opted for the a La carte way. I’ll be back !

Went with a couple friends. My buddy was craving a meatloaf and we were told to give this place a shot. OMG it was incredible. The meatloaf, garlic mashed and carrots were out of this world. The Turkey burger with kimchi and an egg also hit the spot. Server was super friendly. Cant wait to go back.

I had my baby shower at Beginnings and it was AMAZING. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive while planning our event, especially Jess who helped answer many many questions. The day of everyone was so helpful and friendly to all of my guests. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was incredible. My family and friends have been raving about it! So happy I had my special day at beginnings ❤️

Delicious food, creative cocktails and super cozy interiors. Service is fast and friendly and it’s a very fun atmosphere on the weekends. Wait staff are very knowledgeable about allergens - plus, they have gluten free pasta and burger buns!

this is my favorite restaurant in long island ! my personal favorites are the blackened mahi fish tacos, the stuffed meatloaf and the carbonara pasta. all are delicious options that i continue to reorder every time i’m there or taking out. if dining in, i would highly recommend going there for Wednesday nights when they do weekly themed events for $65 per person. every week is a new tasting menu which includes a variety of food options and drinks, and it’s an all around fun vibe. they have a great outdoor dining situation for when the weather is nice too. love it here!

This place has an incredible ambiance and the food is amazing. Our waitress, Jess was fabulous!! She was so knowledgeable of the menu and so sweet. She made the experience very memorable. We’ve been here a few times but this time was incredible. We got the yard bird, meatloaf, and ribs with brussel sprouts and espresso martinis. All of them were amazing but the yard bird was the best bc of how crispy the chicken was. We’ve also gotten the eggplant meatballs, chicken and waffles, bang bang shrimp, and pumpkin ravioli. This place is so good you really can’t go wrong. You’ll need a reservation and don’t be late! They also do a lot of trivia and themed nights. Definitely must check this place out!!

I was greeted by an hostess who was also our waitress she told us sit anywhere we would like. The menu was an QR code in a little picture frame located on the table. The Food was amazing (especially the fried oysters appetizer). The portions are very big. The bathroom was vintage looking and behind a book shelf inside the bathroom there was a baby changer (in the lady’s restroom) as well as a bulletin board with events taking place. The waitress was extremely attentive so where all the other staff. The bill was handed in a book jewelry box which I thought was very cool. This place deserves more than 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this place.

We visited this restaurant on their "Good Fellas" theme night. The atmosphere was great, the place is covered with book shelves and they actually had the movie on tv... we had a 4 course meal structured to mirror what the characters would eat. Each course had a wine/ alcohol pairing. There was an actor who read from the script at each table. If you are visiting Long Beach try this place at least once. It is a lovely experience.

Great Place, great food, great staff - coincidentally found this place on Google while I was searching for a place to have lunch near to JFK airport. Located in Atlantic beach, just a 20 min ride from the terminals this was a perfect place. I liked the interior and its details, had a great talk to the bartender and a got a gorgeous salmon burger. Price for lunch was decent - taking a discount into consideration for sitting at the bar. Otherwise prices are little bit on the higher side.

The ambiance is nice and cozy, but I was disappointed of the food . I ordered Pasta Gorgonzola but I did not taste any gorgonzola cheese instead it's like a truffle pasta and salty. The server or waitress was not attentive and never came back to refill my husband's coffee. All I can say service wasn't good.
