A great surprise awaits you on Route 110 in Melville.
I ventured out to Four Food Studio with my girlfriends last month,
which was really exciting for me since I've always wanted to try Four.
Needless to say, we were impressed.
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is swanky and modern, sort of reminiscent of Dressler in Williamsburg, only the space was a lot larger and Cobra Starship was pumpin' at the bar.
The girls and I shared a tomato mozzarella flatbread with pesto and olive oil to start off- it was crisp and perfect. We selected our main courses off of the Winter Menu - I selected the butternut squash ravioli with sage, wild mushrooms, and sauteed in brown butter. It was decadent - the flavors all complemented one another and the ravioli melted in my mouth. Jessica also had the butternut squash ravioli and was pleased by it. Heather had the Whole Mediterranean Sea Bass with Grilled Lemons and Fingerling Potatoes - and she enjoyed it too.
Did we get dessert? Of course we did! We also sampled their signature cocktails, too. After dinner, we hit the bar for some vino and mingling, but it was after 9 PM and the crowd wasn't that great, so we ended up spending only about an hour at the bar. It was a distinct contrast to when we first went in at 7 - the crowd was pretty huge and it seemed to attract a younger after-work crowd. We would definitely like to go back for some happy hour drinks!
Four Food Studio has a unique concept to it - it has four rooms and four menus corresponding to each of the four seasons. Four is currently serving lunch from its Autumn menu and dinner from its Winter menu. Each menu has eclectic selections for those who want to awaken their taste buds from their winter slump. With appetizers like Grilled Baby Octopus and Tuna Tataki salad, who wouldn't be awakened? And that's only the precursor to the savory entrees. The food, coupled with the ambiance and the friendly service, makes Four a great dining experience. Although it is a little pricey, it's definitely worth a try.
