Foster Restaurant

This meal was one of my most memorable of the year. We sat at the chef’s counter, which allows you to see the chef in action. There is also a communal table in the center of the dining room and an enclosed patio area. The place was packed on a Saturday night and the energy was buzzing. We were there at prime dinner time so the wait times were long(ish) but totally worth it. We loved the wine selection and creative cocktails. We had the pork belly and octopus to start, the grilled bavette steak and scallops as entrees. My only regret is not getting dessert. The pork belly is a must! This restaurant is a hidden gem. I almost don’t want to review it!

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at this Italian-Asian fusion restaurant. We started with oysters from Great Peconic Bay, then a delicious Japanese eggplant starter. My husband enjoyed seafood linguini, and I had the special house made spaghetti with a giant meatball accompanied by an excellent Pinot Noir. Topped off the meal with a scoop of wild berry ice cream with blueberry sauce on a Belgian waffle. Great food and friendly, helpful service.

Amazing experience at Foster's! Outstanding food, an incredibly talented chef, and a warm, attentive staff. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. A true gem in Seacliff—highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

The octopus showed up in bits and pieces with a random assortment of potatoes and vegetables, and was horrid. Nothing like the what it looked like in the menu. The bone marrow was FANTASTIC and looked just like in the menu. I find myself pondering how some dishes were just plated so well and tasted amazing… while others… not so much. Hanger steak was good. My advice: 3 adults & 1 child = 500 dollars with tip. GO ELSEWHERE. They even had the audacity to nickel and dime us by charging us $10 for bread.

We love going to Foster—at this point, you could say we’re regulars. We typically sit at the bar. We especially love their specials, and I’m still thinking about the elk burger I had last year (please bring it back!).The oysters are always fresh and delicious, and the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Recently, I’ve been loving the salmon with corn and shishito succotash and blueberry teriyaki. Honestly, everything is consistently fresh and delicious. John, the bartender, makes excellent cocktails—many with fun names like Silence of the Lambrusco. He puts a lot of care into his craft, from house-infused ingredients to thoughtful presentation. He also always keeps you hydrated with their house water, which I truly appreciate. Happy hour is a great deal and is available at the bar only
