Since Long Island is surrounded by water, it only makes sense that there are waterfront restaurants where Long Islanders can enjoy the view while they dine. Whether it’s the Long Island Sound on the North shore or the Great South Bay on the South shore, the view is always beautiful, and the food that accompanies it is great too. When the weather warms up, make sure to grab a bite at the Best Restaurant with a Water View on Long Island for a nice relaxing meal.
