Gatsby On The Ocean - Wantagh

I’m not sure where the fault lies here, but we made a reservation at Gatsby’s for my 70th birthday on October 7 at 2 PM though we live in Westchester, I knew that was where I wanted to be on my 70th. Open Table confirmed the reservation and subsequently texted me twice to be sure we were coming. We drove from Westchester, arrived and found the restaurant CLOSED. How did Open Table and Gatsby’s allow me to make a reservation on a day the restaurant was closed?

Drinks were ridiculously expensive. $17.50 for a martini plus a mysterious $1 Open liquor charge. We asked for a drink menu and were told there wasn’t any but they had a full bar and could make anything. Not sure how that led to an extra charge. VERY buggy if it’s not a windy night. Those mosquitoes were vicious.

Food was good, but not amazing or anything. It was definitely a little overpriced for what you got. The wait staff was very friendly and welcoming. The view of the ocean was beautiful and calming. I will very likely eat here again because of the excellent service and view.

Very crowded...felt bad for staff, They Need more help!!!!

It was nice but not enough food for the price you pay however drinks were good . Ambience was romantic however we were getting attached by numerous food flies . It was annoying , when they find a way to control that I think it will be a lot better .
