317 Main Street

What 317 Main Street does

317 Main Street is a privately held upscale American gastropub and craft cocktail bar founded in November 2019 by Chef Eric LeVine (a 2011 Food Network Chopped champion) and Joe Fortuna, operating from a single location at 317 Main Street in Farmingdale, NY. The core offering is a multi-meal dining program spanning lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, happy hour, and a craft cocktail menu featuring 24 draft beers and specialty cocktails priced $15-$20. The restaurant is anchored by a 100+ seat dining room and an open kitchen, and has expanded over time to include five private event spaces — Stage 317 (live entertainment), The Gramercy Room (semi-private dining for 15-40 guests), The James Room (immersive 3D-animated dining for 25-45 guests), The Marketplace at 317 (added February 2022, 600 sq ft), and a Chef's Table experience with 6 or 10-course tasting menus starting at $125 per person.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with diversified revenue streams: dine-in restaurant sales, takeout packages (e.g., burger package $49.99, BBQ package $59.99), full-service off-premise catering with a 50-person minimum at $39-$65 per person, ticketed experiential events (Boozy Bingo Brunch $58, cooking classes $40-$77, Music Bingo $20, themed dinners $59), gift cards, and a loyalty program. Operations rely entirely on third-party SaaS infrastructure: ToastTab for point-of-sale and online ordering, OpenTable for reservations, and TicketLeap for event ticketing. No proprietary technology, APIs, or AI/ML systems are developed in-house; the 3D animated content in The James Room is produced by partner TableMation Studios.

The customer base is primarily local Long Island residents, families, and walk-in diners (633 Google reviews) supplemented by corporate and group catering clients. The business is privately held by two restaurateurs with no institutional investment, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds; it has won consecutive regional awards including Bethpage Best of Long Island Best American/Continental Restaurant in 2024 and 2025. Pricing across all segments is premium (dinner entrees $24-$48; catering $39-$65 pp plus 20% service charge; Chef's Table from $125 pp), positioning the restaurant in the upscale casual segment of the Long Island market.
