Northern Coast Kitchen & Cocktails

We were here for a night on a work trip. Had Liz as our server and she was amazing. Super nice and funny, definitely was the reason we had another round. The food was also really good as were the drinks. Highly recommend this place for food and drinks. Patio was nice too. The short rib grilled cheese was amazing. I should have two.

Visited Northern Coast Kitchen & Cocktails for dinner. It a resturant inside the Hilton Garden Inn at Stony Brook lobby. Had a french onion soup and a cheese burger and sweet potato fries. Not a bad experience but a little odd atmosphere when entering the hotel and the resturant is part of the lobby. Good overall experience.

Would go again. Good food and many options. Nice atmosphere and bar seating as well as tables. Friendly staff.

My fiancee and I have been going to Northern Coast since shortly after it opened, and it never disappoints. This place is the definition of a "hidden gem", being in the lobby at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Stony Brook campus (you don't need to be a student to go, but students get a discount IIRC). Although it's right adjacent to the lobby with little separation, it's much more than your standard hotel eatery with lots of great New American dishes and a warm, comfortable, unique atmosphere. I've tried several dinner items, and all have been great so far, with reasonable prices, sizeable portions, good variety of styles, all fresh-tasting and "made to order". But, if there's one thing I always go back to, it's the roasted chicken. The skin is so crispy and it has a buttery au-jus that's ju

Did not realize this was a hotel restaurant on campus until I got there. Servers were attentive and friendly, but the food was not good. Pancakes were gray-looking and glutinous-- didn't taste cooked through. No real maple syrup. Buffet had bacon crispy bits --overly cooked and cracking apart. The coffee was thin and mediocre quality. Would NOT recommend if you're looking for a good breakfast. Only plus was that it was open at 7am, when 2 diners weren't open until 8am. Not worth the money. Should've sat in the diner parking lot and waited for it to open.
