Newsday restaurant critic Peter M. Gianotti revisits Bravo! Nader in Huntington after 14 years and ups it to a two-star rating. He calls the crab cakes “first class.’’
At La Vana Restaurant in Rockville Centre, the wait for food at this Cuban eatery can be long, but critic Joan Reminick says it’s often worth it. “I’m at a loss to imagine a better Cubano sandwich...’’ Reminick raves.
Little Bravo! Nader has improved its food over the past decade. (March 5, 2010 / Bruce Gilbert)
