“The food we got was delicious. My wife had the cauliflower crust flatbread, which was a little sweeter than she expected because of the jam on it, but still very good, and I had the fish and chips. The dunks were also very good and the ambiance was a lot of fun. We sat at the high tops in the bar which is more of the loud and a lot going on seeing...because it's a bar of course which is what we wanted that night, however there were much much quieter and low key tables in the back of the restaurant for the sit down eating experience. This one is now added to our regular list of places to go.“
“Scott and staff have catered 3 parties for me and I do frequent the restaurant. They are all wonderful and the food is by far the best in the area if not all of Long Island. If you are looking for creative, delicious food you are in for a treat!“
“Hands down the best nachos I've ever had!!! I had the nachos topped with beef. When the server brought the nachos out I was shocked at how big the dish was. The large round nachos piled on with all the toppings maintained its crispness! That's a major win for me because there is nothing worse than soggy nachos. And the flavors were just all there for me. Simply delicious. The drinks were also great. My friend had the strawberry coconut margarita and I had some special Butterfly cocktail. I had to pour yellow drink in the mason jar into the purple drink then it changed color hence the butterfly mention in the name. It's was just great food & drinks! I will definitely be back!!“
“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.“
“Love the food here, fresh and delicious. Im a little bit obsessed with their vegetarian tacos. The spicy wings are really good as well. They actually know spicy for spicy food lovers ? Waitress was really nice. Pics on walls are a little uncomfortable if you're with family, but you don't need to look lol.“
“This is a woman owned business and she supports other local women owned businesses. The large, but cozy room in the back of the restaurant makes it a great place to have events. Thanks to the chef, who cooked 3 different types of pasta. In addition, the buffet style food was delicious. The waitresses were attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. The pictures were worth the visit.Parking: Large free parking lot is available in the back of the restaurant“
“My fiancee and I have been going to Northern Coast since shortly after it opened, and it never disappoints. This place is the definition of a "hidden gem", being in the lobby at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Stony Brook campus (you don't need to be a student to go, but students get a discount IIRC). Although it's right adjacent to the lobby with little separation, it's much more than your standard hotel eatery with lots of great New American dishes and a warm, comfortable, unique atmosphere.I've tried several dinner items, and all have been great so far, with reasonable prices, sizeable portions, good variety of styles, all fresh-tasting and "made to order". But, if there's one thing I always go back to, it's the roasted chicken. The skin is so crispy and it has a buttery au-jus that's just divine. It comes with some sauteed string beans that are sweet and flavorful as well. I'd also like to mention the pork chops, brussels sprouts, and the peach melba dessert as well.The service never disappoints, and at least when we went, the vibe of the place is calm and quiet (even with being next to the hotel's front desk). I dig the melodic chill/deep house from the hotel lobby, and I also love the style of the place, it's got a clean, colorful look that feels very "90s tropical". Screens are around that rotate through pictures of the food items. We usually eat there pretty late (it's refreshing finding a place that will stay open till 10PM), so I could imagine this place gets a lot busier and noisier at other times (like around college orientation/graduation, or brunch).I love this place and think it's a great addition to the area. Definitely give it a chance if you're in town!“
“My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of experiencing a delightful Valentine's Day dinner at Cafe Rustica in Smithtown, and it exceeded all expectations.From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted and seated with genuine delight. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, patiently answering our questions about the specials and offering his recommendations on the most popular and tastiest entrees. Within minutes, we were toasting to another Valentine's Day celebration with perfectly crafted dirty martinis that set the tone for the evening.The appetizers arrived promptly, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of clams and oysters. The seafood was impeccably fresh, as if it had just been plucked from the ocean!My boyfriends main course, lobster, was an absolute delight. Each bite was bursting with flavor, making it one of the most delicious dishes I've ever tasted! For my entree, I ordered my favorite, a classic beet and goat cheese salad, which always leaves me satsfied, and this salad was .True to their excellent service, our waiter even remembered to wrap up the leftovers for me to enjoy as lunch the following day, saving me from forgetting it as we headed towards our valeted vehicle.Overall, our dining experience at Cafe Rustica was splendid. The freshness, impeccable service, and cozy atmosphere made it a memorable evening. I can't wait to return for another dinner and indulge in their exquisite cuisine once again.Highly recommended!“
“Been here twice. Latest was Valentine’s Day service. All the staff seems proud to be serving and happy along with the customers. Food was on point and much tastier than other places we’ve been to. Our server Tommy went above and beyond without us even asking brought us waters and ice cream afterwards! Will be a staple for us.“
“Visited for dinner on a Saturday night. Started by ordering drinks, Bourb-Berry and their cider cinnamon drink. Both were extremely enjoyable and tasty, a good size drink without been overpriced. For starters we shared the buttermilk fried chicken which was very satisfying and a good portion to share between 2 people. Our main meals were their old fields burger and squid ink linguine. Both meals were great and very tasteful. Service was very good, our waiter was very friendly and visited our table often to ensure everything was up to our liking. I would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try if you are in the area.“
