Long Island Restaurant Week runs from January 25 through February 1, 2026, and we’re ready for it. This seasonal celebration of local dining offers a perfect reason to try something new or revisit a spot that always delivers. With three-course prix fixe menus and a wide range of participating restaurants, it’s one of the best ways to explore the flavor and personality of our Suffolk County towns.
At The Agency Long Island, we know the value of a good neighborhood spot. Here are a few of the restaurants we’ll be visiting this week, based on real favorites from our team.
Bayberry – Islip
Bayberry is polished and relaxed at the same time, offering coastal-inspired dishes in a stylish space that still feels local. From house-made pastas to fresh seafood and standout cocktails, it’s a strong pick whether you’re planning a quiet dinner or something more celebratory. The Restaurant Week menu typically includes creative, ingredient-forward plates with great balance.
Jackson Hall – East Islip
Jackson Hall is a South Shore classic tucked inside a historic building. The vibe is warm and familiar, the food is comfort-driven, and the service is always steady. Their Restaurant Week lineup usually includes hearty American fare like steak, seafood, and well-executed sides that make you feel taken care of from the first course to the last.
The James – Babylon
The James blends modern design with a globally inspired menu and a strong cocktail game. It feels both upscale and accessible. For Restaurant Week, expect bold flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a well-paced dining experience. It’s a great place to meet friends or kick off a weekend in downtown Bay Shore.
Bar Lucy – Bay Shore
Bar Lucy is one of Bay Shore’s newest stars. Its design-forward interior, creative small plates, and colorful cocktails make it feel like a destination. The menu leans global and modern, and the energy is fresh without being over-the-top. Restaurant Week is a smart time to go if you’ve been meaning to try it.
Arlo Kitchen & Bar – Northport
Arlo sits on the edge of Huntington and Northport, and it captures the best of both villages. The space is contemporary but not cold, and the food has that perfect balance of comfort and creativity. Restaurant Week here tends to highlight what they do best: seasonal, crowd-pleasing dishes with just enough twist to keep it interesting.
Jonathan’s Ristorante – Huntington Village
Jonathan’s is one of Huntington’s most consistent restaurants for Italian food in a refined setting. You’ll find classics like veal Milanese, branzino, and handmade pastas, paired with an excellent wine list. The room is intimate, the lighting is flattering, and the service is polished without being too formal.
Sandbar – Cold Spring Harbor
Sandbar offers coastal cuisine with an elevated touch in the heart of Cold Spring Harbor. This is the kind of place where you linger a little longer over dinner, especially if you can grab a window seat. Their seafood-focused menu usually features fresh local catch and seasonal ingredients, making it a go-to for Restaurant Week.
Restaurant Week is more than just a good deal. It’s a celebration of the places that bring people together across Suffolk County. Whether you’re downtown in Huntington Village, walking the marina in Bay Shore, or tucked into a cozy booth in Islip, these meals are a reminder of why Long Island living is about so much more than just real estate.
At The Agency Long Island, we’re proud to work in the same communities we dine in, explore, and call home. If you’re looking for neighborhood insight that goes beyond the listings, you’re in good hands. And if you see us across the dining room this week, don’t hesitate to say hello.
