Jeffrey and I went in on a Sunday afternoon for some din-din. The ambiance when you walk in is very casual and comfortable. They have two huge bars located inside the establishment, with several flat screen TV's throughout. Jeff and I were sat in a cubicle on the lower portion of the restaurant. Our waitress greeted us right away and remained attentive during the course of our meal.
I order from the "spinach and broccoli" section. It was broccoli, spinach, garlic and grilled chicken all sauteed together. The meal tasted really good but it was basically a really expensive glorified salad. After i ate half, I was kind of wanting something else besides spinach and broccoli on my plate.
Jeff got a huge burger that was served on a pretzel bun. It had plenty of cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes on it as well. Very yummy! The french fries were a bit soggy.
The drink specials are very enticing. They actually have lots of drink specials. This particular night they had Pabst blue ribbon on sale for $4 a can but that was only served at the bar. I got long beach iced tea (similar to the long island iced tea). It was good, not great.
I think the prices are a bit high for an American grill fast food chain (aka Fridays or Chilis).

Date of Visit: June 11, 2011
Jeffrey got the 1 hour foot rub and I got the 1 hour back rub. My lady was very nice. She led me to the tables for the back rubs which are set at the back of the store. She had just the right amount of pressure and added more pressure when I asked her. My one concern, she rubbed my butt A LOT! But it all felt great.
Jeffrey said his lady was amazing. She started on his back and worked her way to his feet. They soaked his feet in a hot bath and proceeded to kneed out any tension and stress. He was thoroughly impressed.
Since we took advantage of the discount in the paper, we ended up tipping them 10 bucks a piece. It was well worth it.
Hours: Open 7 days a week. 10am - 8:30pm. The last appointment is at 7:30pm.
Reservations: Absolutely call ahead of time.
Dress Code: I always wear comfy clothes to these type of places
Menu Items: Foot Rub, Back Rub, Hot Stone Treatment
Price: $28 for the 1 hour foot rub, $18 for 1/2 hour foot rub, $30 for 1 hour back rub, $20 for 1/2 hour back rub
Environment: The place is nestled in a strip mall in Levittown where there was ample parking. The receptionist was very nice. The massage room is very clean with whimsical music lightly playing in the background. When you remove your shoes and socks, they provide a bucket for you to keep your valuables while you close your eyes and let them work their magic. Remember to whisper once you enter the room. Quiet time.
Service: Everyone was very nice. Feel free to ask your massager to go lighter or harder with the pressure.
Recommended: Heck Yes! We have also tried the place across from Denny's, I like this place much better.

Jeffrey ordered the farmers omelette (peppers, onion, broccoli and ham) $7.50. He said the omelette was good but they forgot to put the ham in it. I ordered the Sagamore Panini $8.00. This has turkey, bacon, provolone cheese, lettuce and tomato. Although my sandwich was good, there was not enough turkey on it at all. There were probably two pieces of cold cut on the panini. I do have to say, the lack of turkey was almost completely overlooked because of the abundance of bacon! It was serviced with a side of pasta salad which had small pieces of fresh mozzarella which is always pleasant in my book. The coffee was good ($2 per person) and so was the water with lemon. I kind of liked that when you ordered a drink, you got your own person mini pitcher that came with it.
We were the youngest people in the joint. It kind of felt like the customers were older and kind of snooty.
I went to the restaurant wanting a spinach and feta omelette which they did not offer, so I went into the situation a little jaded. This may be why I wasn't totally thrilled with the place. I could have gone to a Denny's or got a Fig's sandwich and been happier.

Jeffrey and I ordered a 1/2 white, 1/2 plain pizza. The pizza cost $15.82. The white pizza had too much ricotta cheese and not enough mozzarella. The red sauce on the plain side was awesome! I wish the pizza was cooked a bit more but it was still very good. The pizza was done in exactly 12 minutes from when we placed the order at the counter. There were a bunch of families eating in the dinning area which you can seat yourself at while waiting for your pizza or entree to be done. This is the 4th pizza place we have tried in the Farmingdale area. Although I was not disappointed in the pizza, I think we are going to continue to search for the ultimate pizza. Suggestions welcome :)
