La Plage

Small, low-ceiling, cozy restaurant in beautiful setting across from a Sound beach. Parking is tricky. Food is reliably delicious. Service is friendly, professional but a little spotty. We were next to the door to the covered porch and it was slamming and banging the entire night as waitstaff hustled in and out. That was very unpleasant and added to the din, making it very hard to hear.

I am traveling in Long Island for the weekend and stopped into La Plage for dinner on the recommendation of some local folks who love it. It did not disappoint. I was treated wonderfully throughout my time there (starting with the phone call to see if they could accommodate me without a reservation on a Saturday night!). I sat at the bar and was able to talk to two employees about the food. I ordered what they said they loved (the sweet corn chowder with crabmeat, the seared Banzino with Clams for dinner, and a Blueberry Crumble w/ homemade ice cream for dessert) and the meal was fantastic. I felt like a regular after 5 minutes and even got a tip on where to watch the sunrise this morning-Smith Point County Park on the other side of the Island! If you are near Wading River, don't sleep on La Plage. Thanks for the hospitality, the great food, and for making me feel at home after a long day of traveling.

My boyfriend and I came here last night for my 24th birthday and it was truly the best meal we’ve ever had. I noticed this place a few months back when we were driving through the area and knew I wanted to come here since; needless to say, it lived up to my expectations! I would come back for the mussels and the view alone. Everything was reasonably priced and perfectly cooked. Will definitely be coming back soon.
