Armory Inn: A beautiful Evening outside

By In -Featured, Restaurant Reviews, Staten Island

Well for a second we though the summer was actually here (Last week), Remember those 90’s that we hit?  At the first opportunity to go sit somewhere outside we flew off to “Scott’s Armory Inn”, after driving by during the day and noticing they have chairs and tables set up outside.  We are glad we did as we realized there is another restaurant offering “Outdoor dining” and the food was great as well as the atmosphere.  Oh, by the way to search for “Outdoor dining” you can visit the main website Whereyoueat.com Scroll down to the “Advanced Search” and use the “Search by Feature”…  OK on to the Review…  There are two choices of Menus, one from the Bar side of the Restaurant and the other from the Dining Room.  The Dining Room menu is a bit pricey unless you are planning to go out for a nice family dinner or a special occasion, but if you chose to sit outside on a warm evening just to relax, we suggest you go with the “Bar Menu”, which still offers many of the items from the regular menu (Same Portion, Same Size but a couple dollars cheaper).

The Food:  We enjoyed two great meals both included steak.  The Blue Cheese Salad with Steak looked simply delicious, the meet was cooked to perfection with just enough red showing, yet still being cooked and tasting great over the salad with the side of dressing.  I myself had enjoyed an “All American Cheese Steak” and must describe this as Scott’s Armory Inn does not use the regular steak-ums found in many diners and other type of restaurants. They use the real meat (Actually the same steak used in the salad) on a warm toasted hero with mozzarella made this sandwich a delicious choice.  They had many fascinating menu items that I would like to try such as the “Cajun Pita Chicken” which was also recommended by the server.  The menu is huge, if you for some reason can’t find something from the Bar Menu to suit you, you can always look at the larger dining room menu and find a whole collection of different things such as (Seafood, Chicken, Steak, Veal, Pasta) and many meals in each category.
The Service: It was very impressive, the server was able to recommend us great plates as well as come around every so often to make sure we are doing fine and brought us refills when needed. 
The Atmosphere: We sat outside, which was great… But Also the Bar portion of the Restaurant seemed wonderful, it was pretty busy inside but everyone seemed comfortable and enjoying themselves.  That’s great enough, but lets say you like the food but would like to go somewhere fancy tonight? Well they also feature a beautiful (Casual-> Fine Dining) Dining room which can hold private parties as well as small get-together.

Overall-Sum Up: We are now using our Pros & Cons Rating System to create Star Database.
