My most shameful First World Problem to date comes from this past Saturday: "I checked the menu for the Sarabeth's in Manhasset but they don't have lobster rolls. The Sarabeth's by my office does. I'm so disappointed."
Once I got past that horrific discovery, I found myself at the Manhasset Sarabeth's Sunday afternoon as part of a special effort to bring a little merriment to my grandmother. I had been to a Sarabeth's on the UES back in 2010 but never got around to reviewing it. Just as I had remembered, the restaurant–it's basically a small chain at this point–offered the right ambiance for conversation and people-watching, good but not particularly remarkable American cuisine, and a formidable selection of jellies to purchase as a souvenir.
I had a poached salmon platter for lunch which came with baby potatoes and salad. The portion was generous and despite being quite hungry, I couldn't finish it. The salmon itself was very good but not as good as the one at Docks. The crunchy flatbreads that came with our lunch were terrific though and Granny even packed some up to bring home.
The service was excellent and accommodating, even though we were late for our reservation during a busy time. While I don't spend much time in Manhasset, I enjoyed brunch at Sarabeth's and would strongly recommend it if you're in the area and esp. if you are shopping at the Lord & Taylor where the restaurant is located.
PS: There are Sarabeth's now in Tokyo and Key West! Intriguing.
PS #2: I could really go for a lobster roll.
I've never heard of Sarabeth's before, but it seems they offer pretty standard American comfort food – soups, sandwiches, breakfast dishes, and salads. nothing inoffensive or too "out there", which is both good and bad in my opinion.
the tomato soup was fantastic. I don't know where my newfound love of tomato soup came from, but the bowl I got here was excellent. creamy and flavorful, it certainly didn't taste like generic Campbell's or something like that. the crispy flatbreads they provided at the table went well with this.
the roasted vegetable panini was alright. the veggies were a little mushy, the bread wasn't too special, and the sandwich would've fallen apart if not for the perfectly melted cheese.
the pound cake was…eh. it was soft, but didn't really taste like much. then again, does pound cake ever really taste like much to begin with? thankfully, I acquired a scoop of soft-serve vanilla ice cream to improve it.
service was excellent, and I see they offer a variety of jams and jellies to buy. I'm rarely out in this area, but it served to quell my raging stomach.
Cute, quaint, and friendly staff. The food selection is limited but they do a great job on those items on their menu.
My go to meal is the avocado and smoked mozzarella sandwich with a side of Cesar salad.
