It was a long time coming for LA420, a New American restaurant that recently opened along Great Neck’s car-centric\u00a0Northern Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Its predecessor, 420 North, closed in 2013, and it got on the radar of new owner Tina Huang around 2022.\u00a0It’s not her first restaurant. She also has two locations of Mihana Japanese Bistro in Woodbury and Commack, as well as K-CITY BBQ hot pot & sushi in Levittown<\/a>.\u00a0She and her partners spent nearly four years renovating the space before opening\u00a0 in March, says manager\u00a0Joey Tse.<\/p>\n

There’s now moody room with an\u00a0upscale lounge vibe, dark accents and an illusive\u00a0logo that resembles a hieroglyphic beetle. <\/p>\n

The menu is like a greatest hits of bistro cuisine, with dishes like seafood linguine, herb-crusted chicken, a wagyu burger and a $156 tomahawk steak. The menu is particularly heavy on small plates.\u00a0We were able to make a dinner out of them, starting with some\u00a0crab cakes ($26) and working our way through a plate of three nicely cooked scallops in a miso creme sauce ($25) before hitting on the most substantial small plate, a duo of slow-cooked beef ribs ($25) topped with\u00a0a crunchy rosemary potato mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As nearby New York City works its way through a legal battle over the fate of foie gras, LA420 might become one of the few places\u00a0to savor the duck liver. They double the pleasure factor by serving it on toasts alongside a plop of uni sea urchin, two buttery delicacies in one ($32). Although, it feels a little extra to try and get both the Hudson Valley foie and the uni in one bite, especially when there’s also a quail egg and scrambled eggs in there too. Thankfully, the toasts are large enough that you can alternate bites.\u00a0Too much of a good thing can still be good, if you know how to work it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
