After the Wake

Michael and I went to a wake last night for Michael's friend Benny's mom (she was 93).  After the wake, Michael and I went to eat at Vincent's (http://vincentsclambar.com/) in Carle Place.  PLEASE do not confuse this place with the Vincent's in Little Italy.  The Vincent's downtown may very well be the "original", but their food sucks, their staff sucks and there is no ambiance at all.  However, Vincent's in Carle Place, while claiming to be associated with the "Original" is nothing like it all.

We had:  Calamari Arrabiata with cherry peppers (yum), an espresso cup of lobster bisque (it's small, costs $1.95 and is the perfect size so you don't get filled up on soup, but get to taste how good it is) (yum), a grandma pizza (way yummy) and a grilled chicken with roasted pepper wrap (yum-so Michael said).  Glasses of chianti and red sangria too!  I like the service, always accommodating and pleasant.  The dark wood of the bar and other surroundings make you feel warm and cozy.  Their desserts look fabulous, but we resisted :)
