“It was our first time here since it was rebranded as “Bayberry”. I came for Happy Hour with my husband and bestie. Great drink and food specials! Attentive bartender, Mike, who gave off great vibes and gave great service! We will def be back :)“

“Food is good. It’s a shame. They have no happy hour they could benefit from having that. I’m here at happy hour time and there’s one person at the bar. They be surprised on the number of people they could have even if they did a happy hour for two hours from 4 to 6 more business. It would be a smart move on their part.“

“The wife and I stopped in for date night during Bayshore restaurant week. It's a nice spot, cozy environment, table spread is a good distance away from the next, it's clean and comfortable. They do get busy so get there early or make a reservation. We had the seasonal spread and shoshito pepper appetizers which were both very good, lots of flavor. I ordered the Shrimp and grits and even though I've never been a grits eater, I was pleasantly surprised. The shrimp and grits was incredibly good and had a ton of flavor. I ordered a classic margarita which was executed perfectly and the wife enjoyed her salad and mocktails as well. I would highly recommend this place and am certainly going back! Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Linwood!“

“This place is the best hibachi restaurant my family and I have ever gone too. The manager Chris and chef Jason are amazing! Everytime we go there they remember us and our kids and always greet us with smiles. Chef Jason remembering our little ones name, makes her feel so special. They literally have the best food and drinks. Would recommend this place to everyone.Kid-friendliness: They keep the kids engaged during the whole cooking show and even make them balloon animals at the end!“

“Sweet Jane is a sweet place! The staff is very professional and the venue might be small inside but the staff makes sure it does not become overcrowded which is very nice. We enjoyed some delicious cocktails and tasty small plates. I would not rely on the food as a meal. It is more a picking menu. Even though the drinks are pricey, the overall experience is worth the money.“

“I had my baby shower at Goldy's Gems in November of 2023 and was absolutely thrilled by the customer service, food and atmosphere. Our guests raved about the food and how their glass was never empty, thanks to the chef, servers/bartenders! It's such a trendy place and gives off awesome vibes. We enjoyed the shower so much, that we wanted to hold our son's Baptism at another one of the restaurant groups locations. We chose to have the event at Post Office cafe and once again they knocked our socks off. We were fans just on an ordinary day, so we just knew the events would be even better and we were right. Melissa, Chris, Chris and our servers/bartender once again were amazing in every way. During our planning we also found out they just had a renovation in our event room that made it look so bright and welcoming. The staff is extremely accommodating, especially on the day of when it comes to decor setup. We were able to bring our decor earlier in the day and then have someone set up about a half hour-hour early so that when our guests arrived all was in its place. The staff at Post Office even offered to assist with some setup as long as it was simple placement. If you are ever in need of an event space, I would highly suggest Post Office Cafe and Goldy's Gems or any restaurant in this restaurant group, you just can't go wrong!“

“The food here is so delicious and I love the atmosphere as well. They have creative drinks that taste strong every time! If you go for brunch I would definitely recommend the blueberry pancakes--I can't stop thinking about them! You really can't go wrong with anything here! Service is always great as well.“

“We recently dined at the Smithtown Pasta House. Food was very fresh and tasty, while not being overly seasoned. Finally went to a restaurant that prepares the food like I do at my house.My wife said the rainbow cookie martini was the best drink she ever had. My dear friend found a hidden gem. I’m looking forward to returning soon so I can try more dishes. I highly recommend dining at this establishment.“

“Delicious Mexican food! My sister and mom took me for my birthday a few weeks back and everything was delicious. Cauliflower tacos were my favorite. Drinks and service were good as well. We were there for an early dinner but after a few minutes, the place was packed. The bar is beautiful as well as the decor. Next time I will try something new but definitely keep the cauliflower tacos. So good!“

“Last night was the 3rd time I’ve dined at Dirty taco in smithtown! Anytime I come there the food is great, the staff is super friendly and we always have a good time! The wait was about 45 minutes but the girl in the front was really hustling to get everyone seated and so was the gentleman working with her!! I normally don’t write reviews but felt it shouldn’t have gone unnoticed!!! And was impressed! We will be back again!!“

“We got there a little early for our reservation and they welcomed us to sit. This worked out to our advantage as it was before 6pm and we got to take advantage of the oyster happy hour special! We ordered a number of appetizers and our server,Gina was wonderful spacing them out perfectly allowing you to enjoy the food, atmosphere and our anniversary celebration! Can't wait to go back!“

“We recently had the pleasure of having our baby shower in the greenhouse. Verde has long been my wife and I favorite restaurant so no brainer to have this event there. The owner Andy and his staff made sure this day was perfect for us. They went above and beyond with all accommodations including providing many gluten free and vegan options for our guests. The staff was wonderful and really hustled all day long to take care of everyone. There is no better option for venue, food, drinks and staff. Couldn’t recommend a place anymore than I do this one!“
