Had a lovely quiet visit to Center Island Beach, Oyster bay, Long Island, NY last Thursday. As you can see we had the beach almost to ourselves. We ate lunch at what is supposed to be a high end restaurant, Ocean – restaurant | bar | lounge | on the long island sound in Bayville. The food was terrible. Paula’s burger was well-done instead of rare. The replacement wasn’t good meat. My soggy crabcake had no greens or embellishments, just a ton of French fries and a bun, which I did not eat. And Marc’s fish special was so so. The meal cost $170 for 3. I do not understand how they can get away with serving such crap. The one good thing was the ambience.
