    We had reservations for Saturday night, and when we arrived, the restaurant was closed with the windows papered over!

    Jamal is the best server! Always remember us and anticipates our needs. We will miss the filet mignon tacos and chocolate mousse.

    My husband and I had a wonderful night celebrating our 35th anniversary the other night at Apertif. The food and service were excellent and the vibe comfortable and cool. This is a great spot in Rockville Centre and has become one of our go-to restaurants in our area for its combination of excellent food, service, and ambiance.

    The food was delicious. Our waiter was either having a bad night or just a nasty guy. We weren’t too interested in sticking around for dessert because we wanted to get out of there.

    One of the better local restaurants on Long Island South Shore in Rockville Center. Happening bar scene, professional wait staff, friendly service, innovative cuisine.  Overall a very good value for the money. Worth the trip if you like French inspired/American cuisine.

    Waited 90 minutes for our appetizer. Manager claimed the printer broke so the chef couldn't see our order. After our appetizers finally came out, we were told they were out of a dish we had ordered for our entree. Food came out "rushed" but also undercooked. Waitress did her best and hussled but overall a disappointing experience. Will not return.

    We booked a reservation for Mother’s Day & everything was so delicious! The grilled octopus was so tender & potatoes perfectly crisp & the bees knees cocktail is now my fav drink! The beef Wellington was to die for & my husband loved the pistachio crusted rack of lamb I was hesitant because in CA I didn’t like the French food but omg this just blew me away and became my fav restaurant. they just got some new regulars !

    The restaurant allowed reservations despite having a party with a blasting DJ at the same time. There should have been warning that you wouldn’t be able to hear anything over the music. This was unacceptable at 6pm.

    We had a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday, so it wasn’t crowded when we arrived. Around 6:30 a party of 6 and another party of 8 came in. The host sat all the tables far enough apart. The food was excellent! I had the escargot and duck and my husband had the arugula salad and the veal chop special. Both meals were delicious. Service was attentive without being rushed. I would definitely recommend!
