| Thyme Restaurant on Long Island |
A while back I found a website called
dininglongisland
and they have a section on waterfront restaurants. Since then, it's
been my go-to resource when choosing where to eat out there. I love
dining by the water! We considered selecting a place on the 'nautical
mile,' a stretch of waterfront in Freeport that's home to dozens of
casual bars and eateries on the water. But, ultimately an amazing menu
on a lake won out over clams and beer on the ocean. The food offerings
at Thyme were too good to pass up!
My beautiful bestie, Denise, and hubs, Craig, arrived early to scope out
the perfect table and stake their claim with a bouquet of flowers and
giant birthday balloons tied to the railing. By the time Brian and I
joined them, we could relax with them at the bar for a while and sip the
house special White Cosmo cocktail. I may have sipped a few too many
of those over the course of the evening. So good!

Dinner on the outdoor deck overlooking the water was everything we could
hope for. After a long stretch of miserably hot and humid weather, we
caught a break on Saturday evening. It was such a perfect night to dine
outdoors that I would have been absolutely miserable if I'd been
inside. More cocktails, wine, great service, excellent food and the
people I love. What more can anyone ask on their birthday! And, as for
Thyme, special celebration or not, their good cooking and relaxed
elegance are definitely worth a return visit.
