Crabtree's Restaurant

This place is very cozy, very warm and welcoming. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The food is very unique flavorful and properly cooked. Drinks can be order in any way wanted. Prices are good for what the portions are. We had a little error in our bill and they offered to rectify it right away. Additionally the server offered something as a token of appreciation to my girlfriend and she thought it was the nicest gesture... so yeah you earned a customer for life 😀

Arrived to Crabtree’s Restaurant on a Thursday evening around 7p. Walked in to a lively crowd of dining customers. All the staff greeted us as we walked in. Dim lights and lively staff, very well dressed and respectful. They were very knowledgeable about the dishes, specials, and ingredients. They have inside and outdoor dining, the weather was adequate and we decided to dine outdoors. The decor was very appealing and matched well with the energy of the business. That being said, the food was fresh, well seasoned, piping hot, and came out of the kitchen fairly quickly. A very well balanced staff and good chemistry between them. Where one waiter fell short, the other picked up as if there wasn’t a misstep at all. They were very accommodating, and I’m excited to return sooner than later. Looking forward to becoming a regular here and trying more of their menu. A great experience here indeed. I can easily recommend them to anyone looking for a fresh Mediterranean dining experience whether you have the time to browse the menu and relax a bit with their wine menu or if you’re short on time and know what you want to eat upon entering, this is a great place to choose from.

This place has a great ambiance, it has a very warm cozy clean feel to it. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is delicious and the presentation is very well done. I had the half duck and mi lady had the salmon which were exquisite 👌 we also had the octopus 🐙 and Escargot 🐌 which also were great appetizers. The chocolate mousse cake with fresh cream is amazing. Definitely coming back.

Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The service was top notch, several staff members checked in on us throughout the meal, and everyone was genuinely friendly. They introduced themselves, and even the maître d’ shared a few stories. The dining room had a backdrop with the large open window in the back, that I think you can dine outside during warmer days. The food was excellent as well, multiple appetizers, saganaki a flaming cheese was a good one! This was my first visit, but I can easily see myself coming back many times. Top marks all around!

I recently visited Crabtree Restaurant, mainly because I had my monthly Amex Resy Credit to use, and decided to give it a try. The first impression is that the place is meant to feel like a cozy, homey spot, as it has a residential front door outside. Right when you enter, there's a bar, which sets the casual vibe, but since I ordered takeout, I didn’t get to see what the dining area looked like beyond the corner. I went for the lobster and shrimp tortellini, expecting something tasty and flavorful, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. For $28, I was hoping for a memorable dish, but I ended up disappointed. The tortellini itself wasn’t as fresh as I’d hoped, and the cream sauce had started to dry up by the time I got home. It didn’t feel worth the price, especially when I thought that $28 could've been better spent elsewhere. On top of that, the bread that came with my order was pretty hard, which didn’t help the overall experience. I really wanted to love this place, and maybe I’ll give it another shot down the line, but based on this visit, it wasn’t a standout.

The food and service were both AMAZING. I went here for dinner with a group of 14 so we had 2 waitresses. They were both super friendly, and a delight to talk to. Onto the food - The bread we got was extremely good, especially the purple-ish one, which had raisins. We ended up asking for another little basket of bread after finishing the first. For appetizers, we got calamari, which was super crisp, tasty, and came with a lot. For dinner, everyone was beyond satisfied with their meals. The crab cakes tasted really fresh and were filling. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. For dessert, I got the pistachio icecream (I forget the official name). It was really good, and left me wanting more even though I was full. Overall, I definitely recommend this place for a special outing or date, and I hope to come back in the future.

Ms. Lilia is the best! She said she likes to pamper her diners. I asked if they serve pinacolada. They don’t but she substituted it with a martini coconut juice and said “on me”. Their bar tender has a knack for mixing cocktails. My halibut with lobster sauce, couscous and mixed veggies was delish! Creamy, fresh, perfectly prepared. My husband liked his swordfish. I wish they heat their slice of apple pie and make it less sweet.

Bookmarked this place for years and finally, was able to go. Many Yelp reviews gave it a thumbs up so I had to try. A lot of the decorations were "Little Rascals" theme, hence the name. Waiter was nice and friendly but he didn't tell us about the specials of the day. We read a sign really quickly when walking in. I had a reservation and usually it's the only way to get in. Pasta dishes were really great and I enjoyed my endive salad with gorgonzola. The scallops entree was only ok. I normally prefer my scallops pan seared not fried.

This restaurant has a very humble exterior which may be easy to pass by. But you would be wrong to do so. I am a decades-long foodie, always on the hunt for a good meal. Crabtree 's did not disappoint. From the welcoming greeting, by professional restaurant staff, and not bored teenagers, to the impeccable service and food, our experience here was a pure delight. The calamari and ceaser salad appetizers were bursting with flavor and tasted so fresh. I ordered the special, a whole roasted dorado fish. It was divine. My partner had the lobster and shrimp pasta dish and was just as happy. I am a very finicky restaurant diner. I could not recommend this place more. I wish I had taken better pictures to do justice to the food, but it was so delicious looking we just dove right in!

This place was SO good, everything on the menu sounded delicious, and everything that arrived was even more delicious. Portions are huge, so go hungry, or take it home for tons of leftovers. I really enjoyed the knish w/corned beef the most, everything paired so nicely down to the spicy mustard. Will definitely have to come back here to try more items off the menu, and to try the different seasonal items. Bar and restaurant is spacious and cozy, it's a great spot to come to watch sports as well. Windows surround the tables so you can also people watch down below of that's your thing. My parents also love this place and found the service to be exceptional, especially Liam and Jack. Will definitely be back!

Crabtree's has been around since 1985 (according to this Yelp page), and what comes to mind first when writing this review is their genuinely friendly and attentive service. And the large portions! On our most recent visit, we were there for Sunday brunch. There was a prix fixe menu for $28, and that included a cocktail/juice, main, dessert, and coffee/tea. I selected the eggs Benedict which I liked, and others in our party who ordered steak and eggs ($5 upcharge) and the chicken tchoupitoulas [Tchoupitoulas is a street in New Orleans, I just learned through online research] seemed pleased. While French fries came with the eggs Benedict, the potatoes were interestingly cubes instead of strips. A salad also accompanied the eggs which was great. While a vanilla almond parfait was mentioned on the menu, we were presented with three different types of cake slices to share. Crabtree's seems like a popular choice for groups and private parties and does well with kids. They have a backyard area which I haven't experienced but it looks nice. There is valet parking as well as street parking. And if the back room isn't closed off, there's a restroom that you can use there if the ones near the bar are occupied.

This was a great place to have a reasonably priced tasty dinner and catch up with friends. Decor was simple and seasonal. Service was friendly and helpful. Food was good. We had duck and halibut - both were good sized portions and nicely prepared. Parking was easy to find on the street. We plan to return.

Their brunch is delicious. The French toast was amazing. Same for dessert. Will definitely go back for dinner

Food was delicious, it's been great every time I go. Only feedback I would have is that the service was a bit slow especially for drinks but otherwise - fantastic!

The food is consistently fabulous. The staff is attentive,friendly and from the experience of our large ladies group THE BEST in the neighboring areas (and we have tried a lot of places over the years during our monthly dinners in both in Floral Park and beyond ). And we can't forget the wonderful matre de, Felipe. We always happily return. Thanks Crabtrees. You deserve this praise and being up there with Harrison and Cara Mia for your high standards

Another! Fab meal! Soft shell crab season done to perfection. Always a wonderful welcome!

Crabtree's has been on my list for years and we finally went for brunch. Arriving for our 12:30 reservation, the place was quiet, but more people came in after that. They have a prefix brunch menu which includes one brunch drink, one entree and a parfait for dessert. Definitely a good deal. They start you off with some muffins for the table which were quite tasty despite being burnt on the outside. Drinks were ok, nothing special. While the place is kid friendly, the brunch menu is not. They have some kids dishes like chicken fingers and pasta with butter. One of my nieces wanted eggs and they charged the full brunch price for it. My husband got the Chicken Tchopiolous which he quite enjoyed. Someone got the French toast which they said was just ok. I got the eggs Benedict, and while the eggs were poached perfect, it definitely wasn't the best I've had. It was served with a nice salad and crispy potatoes. The parfait was vanilla pudding with cookie crumbs and almonds it was enjoyable. The only thing though if you have a nut allergy you don't have an option bc the parfaits are premade so you can't get one without nuts. Staff was friendly and attentive.

We had a large group. The waiter Michael Angelo aka Igor. Took our cash $500+ and charged the full $700 check on a card.

Close to home spot here for many years. Chris, our waiter was so nice, checking on us frequently to make sure we have all we need, and if we needed to order more. Trout and duck were superb! The cosy corner, window spot was perfect. Pistachio tartufo was out of this world! We loved the rusty nail! We had a great time to start off one of many.

Hosted a family gathering of 11 people on 6/12/24 at Crabtree's as this is our "go to" place. We started with a few drinks at the bar and were delighted to find Luis(our favorite waiter)handling the pouring. His drinks and personality were just right. After an enjoyable time, we headed to our table. As requested, Luis, was also our server. We all shared apps penne vodka, baked clams and seafood salad. The vodka never disappoints. Next runner up was the seafood salad which was new to me. The dressing was light and fish was fresh. Everyone was happy with their mains. Zero complaints. We finished with various desserts: carrot cake, chocolate cake, cheesecake and tartufo. My only minor complaint/suggestion would be to step up on the cakes. I would pass on those and stick with tartufo. The delicious food makes up for the lackluster desserts. The food here is always good. What makes Crabtree's even better is the outstanding service. Luis is a superb waiter and makes you feel at home. The host/manager made sure everything was to our liking and couldn't do enough to make our visit wonderful. This is a must visit if you plan to celebrate with family and friends. Food 5 star Service 5 star Ambience 5 star

Great restaurant for brunch. Our waiter was super nice and checked in on us to make sure we were okay. He also accommodated me since I was pregnant sat us in an area with more space and quieter for conversations, which was great! My husband had the burger, my friend had the eggs Benedict and I had the steak and eggs. Everything was delicious and at the end they gave us complimentary dessert! Overall had a great experience here and would love to come back and try the other items!

We just came in with a group of 14. Everything was handled wonderfully. Our server, Michelangelo, was friendly and professional. He was very gracious about handling my daughter's meat allergy. The blueberry muffins starting the meal were warm and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their entrees.

Mostly fish, even on their pastas. If you're a fish fan, this is a great place. If not, the menu is very limited

Always a Fantastic Experience! This is one of my go-to restaurants, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming--it feels like coming home every time I visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and a warm atmosphere.

After passing this restaurant several times, I've decided to try it. The decor was nice with the large Christmas tree in the back and garland over the doorways was really pretty. We were seated immediately and our waiter was Michaelangelo, he was very personable, funny and attentive. We ordered oysters, baked clams, and the dishes pictured below. Everything was delicious, there are no bad dishes. We had beets on our plates which was a surprise but, we enjoyed them as well. I will definitely be returning to try more of their delicious dishes

Consistently EXCELLENT food, presentation and overall experience.. We knew that Yianni was away but we were warmly welcomed by Philippe. It's GREAT to frequent an establishment where you are greeted and treated like family... He offered us a choice of 2 different tables..We would love to dine outside in their lovely garden but it is just a bit too COOL outside. Michelangelo was our server. He has waited on us many times. He is a true professional...and takes care of our every need.... We love the pumpernickel rolls... we receive a nice basket of them. He divides the goat cheese salad that we are sharing, and makes sure the dressing is on the side... He is also excellent with the pacing of the meal: we don't like to be rushed- he allows plenty of time to dine... Our main dishes are excellent, as always. Our plates are filled with a more than ample amount of mouth watering food. Michaelangelo checks back a number of times to make sure that everything is to our liking and satisfaction... No meal is complete without dessert, and the cheesecake that Phillipe sends us is rich, smooth and creamy... Many restaurants could take lessons from this establishment and learn how to provide their customers with such terrific, food service and dining experience. A superior experience !! One of the BEST !!! Yianni - we miss you but Phillipe, Michaelangelo and staff took very good care of us

I struggle to put into words exactly what I love about Crabtree's, but the words comfort and reliability always comes to mind that covers the attentive service, to the large, crowd pleasing menu. I believe its a place where you can bring most anyone and they will find something to enjoy. The decor is a bit of a throwback with mellow yellow walls, and wood trim and tables throughout. The outside dining area in the back is very pretty with trees and umbrellas making for an inviting space. Adding to the throwback vibe are references to the Little Rascals about the space (thus the Crabtree name) Since the pandemic so many restaurants admonish their patrons to "be grateful for the workers that showed up", which I am frankly sick of hearing. Dining out is supposed to be a pleasure, a small luxury and a bit of an escape - I believe Crabtree's does its best to make their customers feel that way. The waitstaff discuss specials, menu items and make small talk where you feel welcomed. Valet parking is even available, but I usually have no trouble finding a spot on my own. You're not going to find a trendy, groundbreaking menu rather it is a place to get a reliable piece of fish, delicious pastas, well made pork chops, lamb, steak or whatever cut of meat you might be in the mood to eat. Their apps are tasty - I enjoyed the baked blue point oysters that we shared and their salads are generous. They brought out our roasted walnut salad split evenly between the two of us. I find the entrees generous as well - my almond sliver crusted striped bass came on a bed of couscous, a large mound of fresh vegetables and nicely tender beets. The Shrimps a la Rodos came similar, but with flavorful rice in place of couscous. Crabtree's is place that has remained consistent over so many years, which is something I value more and more these days. Judging by the packed restaurant on a recent Friday night I am not alone in my opinion.

Classy restaurant with a great ambiance, the few places it fell short though? Outdated old timey hotel interior, price, and somewhat bland and boring food. Came here out of curiosity after seeing all the rave reviews about this place. Wasn't too impressed with the dim lighting and the somewhat dingy looking interior, but was pleasantly surprised by it's cool backyard area, definitely the move on a nice summer night. Ordered the escargot, the octopus and the pork chops. Escargots tasted typical not bad, but nothing phenomenal, same can be said for the octopus. The pork chop dish was a little bland, the pork chop was at times dry and the fried risotto cake? Tasted like deep fried dried up rice. Though the ambiance and quality was there, the lack of flavor and creativity with the food didn't warrant the premium paid here

Last month we came here on a double date to celebrate a birthday. My friend wanted to come here because she likes the food here. I've heard mixed reviews about this spot. I consulted with a fellow Yelper foodie regarding recommendations on what to order, and personally, I was not disappointed. Our server was great. My entree portion was huge. We shared the appetizer of the clams casino. They were very good and the usage of ingredients were well balanced for that one biter. We ordered the kids Entree of chicken fingers and French fries, and that was a hit with the little one. Now, to the entrees, the guys ordered the special Rib eye steak cooked medium well and Crabtrees' famous 10 Oz burger. Both dishes were devoured. The steak trumps the burger. The ladies went with seafood by ordering the swordfish and potato crusted grouper. Our entrees were huge. I definitely enjoyed the grouper, I took half and made an omelet or torta with the leftovers for brunch the next day. For dessert, we ordered the pistachio tartufo and carrot cake with coffee, cappuccino, and tea, which were great. Definitely come here for the seafood appetizer and entrees. You can't go wrong.

This is one of my top three favorite spots in Floral Park! My family and I constantly come here for birthdays, monthly family dinners and any other special occasions. The food here is SUPERB. I have never tasted anything less than amazing. I highly recommend the lamb lollipops for an entree, rigatoni a la vodka, gnocchi appetizer or the duck entree. The service is attentive, professional and offer great wine and drink pairings for each entree. It's a nice restaurant that is more formal in nature. It is kid friendly but better for mature adults or a date-night situation. HIGHLY recommend.

Been here before and wish it was closer to home. Great food, varied menu, more than ample portions, service and ambiance are first rate. And better than fair value. The weather was perfect and ate in the outside area. Do it if you can.

we have been customers for many years. I can honestly say, that I have never had a bad meal. Service is excellent, very attentive to your every need. It is a true mark of and outstanding establishment that when you enter the restaurant you are greeted warmly. I have no reservations in recommending Crabtree's Restaurant to those looking for an enjoyable evening. Also, if you enjoy dining outdoors, they have a very comfortable area available as well! Suggestion, come early, they do become very busy.

Been wanting to come here for a long time. Finally found a special occasion to come. Their hospitality is awesome! The usher is friendly. The owners would stop by the tables to greet the customers. The manager is nice. It shows the staff care about this business. All the customers look happy. Their food is fresh and hot. I like the crab cake, beets, and titanium. People generally have a good time dining at this place.

Great brunch for 5! Friendly staff were a bonus. Drinks, steak & eggs w side salads, specialty dishes were flavorful. Street parking plentiful. The back room was buzzing with private party, which could have spilled out to back patio, but unfortunately was a rainy day.

Had a great time at Sunday brunch. The staff was very attentive and my meal was delicious.

My friend brought me to celebrate my birthday. We came in a Sunday around4:30 they were transitioning from their lunch to dinner. We were sat quickly and offered drinks and given warm bread as we reviewed our menu. The waiter was attentive and provided some suggestions after requested. We both indulged in the pastas. I had the shrimp and Lobster tortellini and my friend had the white truffle ravioli. The dishes are very filling mine the shrimp and lobster tortellini came with 4 large stuffed tortellinis and my friends had about 5 I think on her plate see photo. I had a taste of her white truffle raviolis it was full of flavor and you could distinctly taste the truffles. Mine was well flavored and full of shrimp and lobster meat. They without prompting brought out a champagne flute of chocolate mouse with a candle and sang happy birthday as they heard we were there for a birthday dinner and they took and printed a picture for me and put it in a photo card. It was a wonderful experience.

I've visited Crabtree a handful of times, and my experience is always great. Crabtree is a neighborhood gem one can never go wrong if you go for Brunch or Dinner. The patio accommodations are great, I recommend it in nice weather. The decor in December is beautiful. The food course from appetizers to a cordial to close the dinner is top notch; great selection. The service can be described as excellent. Definitely, go and try Crabtree

Crabtree's restaurant has been one of the finest restaurants on Long Island for as long as I can remember. Yani is the ultimate owner and host, no where else even comes close. Food and service are 10 stars.

*4.5* What a nice surprise to dine here for a birthday party! This place definitely has that old school feel all the way from the decor to the type of service they provide. The food was also very good, some notable dishes were the calamari (super fresh), octopus (tender but a small portion), oysters (fresh), bronzino (well prepared), salmon (big portion and flavorful) and pappardelle (people loved this). Their seafood dishes were very good but steak was not great. Also, I wish they had different sides but instead, the sides were all the same for their dishes. While the vegetables were well prepared, they weren't very exciting. The service was absolutely fantastic, very attentive and professional, drinks were strong, and the prices were really reasonable. I would say that this place does need a fresh coat of paint and new furniture. I would def go back again.

We've eaten at Crabtree's several times. The atmosphere is inviting dining room is well appointed. Food is always great. Cocktails are very good. Service is always awesome!!! This a go to place in Floral Park.

I remember from years ago that the soft shell crab was good, I don't remember what else made me bookmark this place to return. My partner loves his branzino fish. I had the skirt steak, it was tender, flavor was decent. The service was top notch. I will be back.

Food was Delicious. I love the service and ambiance. The Waiter was excellent and explained in detail what the specials and choices were. I will definitely be going back. Kudos to Crabtree's.

Good service, very good food. Special menu for Easter dinner, I had a fish that was very good, my wife had an excellent lamb, my sister-in-law had the haddock, which was the best, great sauce. The shrimp bisques soup was possibly the best seafood bisque I have ever had.

The first time we were there for dinner and the owner was forcing us to move from our table to the bar for our dessert and we weren't even done with our meal!! He wanted the table for people who were waiting. The second time we went for brunch and the chef sent out a raw hamburger to me and my husband not once, but twice!! I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! I wouldn't even feed their food to my dog if I had one.

Great family dinner experience - well decorated for the holidays, and inviting waitstaff. Our party of 4 showed up for Thursday dinner with no reservation, but only had to wait 10 minutes. Food-wise, their appetizers and seafood items are excellent. Their mozzarella napoleon, lobster tortellini, and whole Bronzino are particularly delicious and photogenic. Their burger is just fine. Great dinner spot for a birthday, or for a private event.

First time at Crabtree's, Tammy was our server. She was personable, sweet, knowledgeable. We chose to share the Lobster and Shrimp Tortellini as an appetizer, we had the crispy dry scallops and the Special sautéed Dorado. Plenty of sides to accompany your main course. We ended with a pistachio Tartuffo. Had to bring the sides home, we were stuffed.. I would think you need reservations, the place gets crowded. Can be loud, there are different areas, which help with keeping sound in sections.

We went for the brunch -We had the steak and eggs, food was delicious but I must give extra stars to the service - it was outrageous !!! And the ambiance was very cozy ! I will be back !

Have experience this establishment a few times in the past 5-6 years. The food was adequate, service was average, and the ambiance was peaceful enough. Not amazing on any level , but sure beats going home to cook.

As always, an excellent experience all around. The rooms were festively decorated for Valentines Day. Go and see. A warm greeting by the owner/host set the tone. Wait staff was friendly and professional. We both had great meals. It was a great night out. This place never disappoints.

Just had a delicious swordfish dish at this lovely restaurant! The staff is always friendly. Tonight they sang Happy Birthday to me. The decor is fresh and artsy while maintaining a warm inviting atmosphere. Everyone at my table ordered fish and we all enjoyed our dishes!

Entrees here are complete - with couscous and veggies - and will leave you satisfied. But it had been a while since I've had escargot, so I'm glad we got it for our appetizer as well. It was as deliciously buttery and garlicky, with a lot of leftover garlicky butter sauce to dip the appetizer bread into, yum! I love that the swordfish was presented with capers and I think that the taste of capers really complements fish. It was flavorful and not drenched in sauce, although I wish I it had more of a buttery taste. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy with diners, I appreciate that we didn't feel rushed upon finishing our meals. Would have loved to try their dessert, but I was too full from my meal.

I came here for dinner with my grandparents and my husband. I have also been here a few times with my family. We sat outside with my grandparents for dinner. The outside area is beautiful. I highly recommend doing that. I was a little upset because my grandmother had made a reservation for outside and they still tried to sit us inside despite haveunf many tables open outside. We were able to get a table outside eventually or we would have left. We ordered scallops and chicken which were delicious and for dessert we had apple pie. The waitress that we had was great and the service was not as slow as it has been in the past. We really enjoyed our meal!

Had my baby shower here on a Saturday afternoon and had the best service! I spoke and coordinated with Felipe prior to configure the logistics and he was very friendly, accommodating, and hospitable. They don't open for lunch on Saturdays, so it was a major plus that we had the entire place to ourselves. They were very attentive and ensured that we had a pleasant experience. The food was amazing. I highly recommend to book them for your private parties. You get the full service from beginning to end! Highly highly recommend.

Lily our server was amazing. A true representation of great old fashion customer service. She had great knowledge of the menu. My two children loved her. The water just kept filling up. The ambiance was beautiful. I had the fish dinner and my children had the pasta and steak. Will definitely return to enjoy this perfect family setting restaurant with excellent service.

Came back and opted for an intimate dining indoors. We had a fantastic waiter who always came with a smile - long, blond hair, and didn't catch his name. He was an excellent server and made our evening experience delightful. Hubby ordered the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables which he says was 10/10. I had the crab cakes with yellow rice and vegetables, that was 10/10. Throughout our dinner the room became very hot and our server just knew what we were thinking and turned on the AC. We dined with another couple and we were one of two of the last people there that night and he served us desert to the very end and still with a smile. From management, to the bus boys, they are always so courteous and hospitable. Crabtree Restaurant has become a sweet spot for me.

Big restaurant with a lot of decorations inside and out back. Fish was cooked well and came with a large side of vegetables. Flavoring of couscous could have been better. Tortellini was huge with too much shell compared to stuffing. I would try other dishes next time. Service was great from waiter and manager.

Great food - like really good. I have lived within 2 miles of this place for over 20 years and have no idea how I just discovered it. The staff is nice but the food is the selling point. Their grilled octopus is delicious. Everything is fresh and never a disappointment. I wish I knew about this place sooner.
