Ole Restaurant

Last weekend my BF and I decided we wanted to try a local Portuguese restaurant. I had seen excellent reviews for Ole on Horse Block Road in Farmingville so that is where we went. We were blown away. What an amazing gem turned out to be. On the table, to start, they put some delicious bread and a plate full of yummy garlicky olives. For our entrées my BF got Lagosta con Champagne, which was described as lobster cooked in a casserole with shrimp, scallops and clams. I ordered Paelha Marinheira which was lobster clams, scallops, shrimp, mussels, and rice also in a casserole pot. The first thing we couldn’t get over is the unbelievable amount of seafood in each one of these pots. My dish was $27 and his was $38. With the amount of seafood in these dishes, I easily would’ve expected it to be almost double. Both of our dishes were absolutely delicious. It was almost amusing to to see us eat our dinners with the amount of happy noises, smiles, laughs, and endless compliments about the food. When we were done, we had eaten a ridiculous amount of food and yet we each took home enough to have another meal. In fact, he asked for an additional tuperware like container for the sauce that was in his dish. It end up filling two of containers. He is going to use that sauce to cook some seafood at home. We finished off the dinner by sharing a delicious chocolate mousse. The staff was so lovely and welcoming. They talked to us about Portugal and about what the various paintings in the room represented. It was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time and I go out to dinner a lot lol. We will definitely be back to Ole many many times.

A hidden gem.

Paelha Marinheira - (10/10) Fantastic flavor. Generous amount of seafood, everything was perfectly cooked.

Steak a "Ole" - (10/10) Tender. Well seasoned.

Grilled Blackened Seabass (Special) - (9/10) Overall a great choice.

Frango ao Alho - (8/10) Great flavor. Was worried it would be dry, but it was very moist.

Overall, I will be coming back more often. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ole is one of the best restaurants on Long Island! The food is fantastic and the people amazing. Highly recommend and if you love Portuguese food you will not be disappointed. Absolutely delicious!

A friend recommended coming here! So happy we did. We’ve been here twice in two weeks! Servings are huge and cooked to perfection. I love the olives to start, and every dish we got was delicious! The waiter was very seasoned and gave good advice. Prices are extremely reasonable. Our new go to place! Worth the trip. 🙂

I always drove by thinking this was just another Mexican spot because the name is OLE... I stopped in yesterday and realized it’s a Portuguese spot! I ordered the clams in green sauce and was blown away, the clams were so tender and the sauce was unreal! I came back for lunch today (I’m working in the area) and ordered the pork Portuguese style, another amazing dish. The place is super clean and the staff are very attentive. I’ll be coming back for a dinner soon!
