Wayne French Kitchen, Oceanside

Tucked away in a corner of Oceanside, NY lies Wayne French Kitchen. As guests get settled into the 90's-themed dining room—complete with wicker-backed chairs and red leather booths—the chefs in the back delicately prepare an extensive menu of French cuisine. They lay roasted duck confit atop a bed of wild rice and asparagus before drizzling a signature orange sauce across the plate, and sear filet mignons before serving the tender cut of meat with potatoes and a brandy cream sauce. While Wayne French Kitchen has all the features for a romantic candlelit dinner, the chefs also prepare a brunch menu to kick off Sundays, featuring eggs benedict and mixed-berry waffles.
