Where to eat in or near Plainview and Massapequa, Long Island

[mrsphud]

Visiting for a long weekend and would like to escape some of our family events for some yummy meals on our own. Would like some great kosher style deli, Italian, breakfast, and nice fish restaurant for a party of 9. Suggestions with locations would be most welcome

Red fish Grill on Woodbury Road (in a small strip mall) near South Oyster Bay Road is nice for fish (great horseradish crusted salmon). Kosher deli . _Regal on the coner of Mannetto Hill and Old Country Road. It is run down but it has god deli and great soup. You can also try Boomy's on South Oyster Bay Road. Italian for casual try La Piazza on old Country near Plainview Road( across from the Regal Deli in the Citibank Shopping Center) or Pasteria on South Oyster Bay Road near Staples.
Breakfast Just diners- Plainview diner has pretty good waffles and Challah French Toast (located on Old Country Road). Enjoy your visit.

For Italian food, I like Pasteria in Plainview, on S. Oyster Bay Road and Manetto Hill Road. It is not fancy, but they have great food.

There are a couple of nice, and very authentic Chinese restaurants, not to far from where you will be.

La Piazza, corner of Old Country Rd. and Manetto Hil Rd. in Plainview. Very good italian, and reasonable to boot. Our go-to Italian place and we live like 40 minutes away.

For breakfast, try one of these two:

Nothing spectacular for kosher style deli, but pretty good choices are
Regal Kosher Deli (1110 East Old Country Road Plainview), corner with Manetto Hill Road
Boomy's Kosher Deli & Restaurant‎ (437 South Oyster Bay Road, Plainview

)

Italian food isn't my thing so I can't help you there, and I don't know of any really good fish places in your area (that is, I know fish places, but nothing all that special).

All American on Merrick Road in Massapequa is an old fashioned burger spot, reminiscent of an original McDonald's.

Unfortunate recent report at Brasserie Cassis:

As far as All American goes, I definitely have some fond sentimental memories about the place, but the food is nothing special. I always used to like the fries better than the burgers (which are unexceptional), but I don't know if I'd actually send someone there.

It's been so disappointing to experience the slide from reliably wonderful to frequently mediocre, sometimes just plain awful, at the Bistro Cassis and Brasserie Cassis. Company culture starts at the top, and these places too often scream "we don't care."
