I have been going here for years since my first date with my future husband as my favorite place to go. The restaurant has been renovated beautifully, warm and friendly atmosphere even when room is small and love the family who owns this restaurant since they treat you like family friend. Back then Chef Luis always came out from kitchen to greet you as he goes around the floor introducing himself! The food is amazing, great service by phenomenal staff, drinks are so authentically prepared, and their dishes are so delicious no matter what we order every time. Never disappoints! read more

We tried Casa Luis with my family and celebrated my son's birthday. They gave us a small table for four.it's a small restaurant so you feel cozy and a family atmosphere. We love the appetizers : gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic sauce) and we had the sauté mushrooms. Both Delicious. Main course was paella valenciana with lobster. I thought they will serve with the pot but they served it on a dish. It was delicious. Also we had salmon with green sauce very juicy and the sauce with great flavor. For dessert we had flan and tartufo ice cream. Both were excellent. It was the first time for my son so he really liked it. We had a great night. read more

Went in Valentine's Day for an early dinner. Restaurant was nicely decorated and staff was attentive, filling our water glasses. Bread and nachos served with hot dipping sauce . We ordered the salmon in Tomatoe sauce with onions and bell pepper . It was delicious. We also ordered the paella . It comes in a plate and then they bring the rest of the pot so there is plenty. Finished off with chocolate mouse cake and flan, both very good . I would recommend! read more

Ordered the red sangria, gazpacho, and pulpo a la gallega. Couldn't be bothered or trust to order anything else. The sangria was sour with undissolved granulated sugar at the bottom. "Gazpacho" was haphazardly and barely chopped vegetables in tomato water. Pulpo was just a small serving of some lukewarm Kirkland precooked octopus in some olive oil, salt, and paprika. The meal came with a side of stale chips and a lukewarm seafood tasting sauce carelessly splashed in a dish. Inattentive wait staff. Worst experience I have ever had in a "Spanish" restaurant. read more

The service is good and the food is flavorful. What I cannot stand is when I find bones in my fish. Sure one bone sometimes slips through the cracks, but when I start finding multiple bones in my food it instantly impacts my experience in a negative way. This is a well known local place with a large following, I expected more. read more

Celebrating a birthday and the guest of honor chose this establishment. We expected the place to be small based on YELP reviews. We didn't expect to be packed in so tightly. Seems that there is a table of every size in every available space. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. However, our server seemed rushed and disappeared for a time. Besides feeling rushed, the noise level was irritating. We could hardly hear each other at our own table. However, we could clearly hear every word at the two adjacent tables! I must admit the food was delicious and fresh. I would like to come back on another night, for dinner. Perhaps during the week? Or maybe sit at the bar. Saturday night is too noisy and crowded to really savor the meal. read more

Casa Luis is a small place with the very best paella. They actually have 3 versions mine includes a half of a lobster!!! Their papas frites are yummy and if you like flan you won't be disappointed by how smooth and yummy theirs is! read more

Proportions were large. The service was just OK. This sangria is super sweet. I didn't like it.

We love Casa Luis. From the warm friendly welcome to the fabulous margaritas and the delicious food. They never disappoint !

We have been to Casa Luis on numerous occasions. It's one of those restaurants we normally hit at least twice a year. Been going for years. It's always been one of our favorites. We were there this past Saturday night. We had 7:30 reservation and with the exception of our dessert dinner was done at 8:05. The staff is very nice and welcoming, but we felt insanely rushed. It wasn't overly crowded. There were several empty tables. Nachos, salsa, water and bread were brought out immediately upon arriving at o ur table which was nice. A pitcher of sangria followed very quickly. We than orderer the octopus for appetizer and our entrees. Within 3-4 minutes the appetizer was served. So my bet is it was already prepared, just had to be heated up. Okay it was still good. However, our dinners were served before we even finished the appetizer, and we had to make room on the table for all plates to fit. It was way too fast. I enjoy taking a little time out before the next serving. Dinners were not cold, but definitly not hot. We both had the mariscada, one in green sauce, the other in red sauce. Like I said, not hot and had to have been cooked ahead of time. Not fresh at all. We do not always have dessert, but this time we decided to have it because we hadn't finished our drinks yet as we were only there for 35 mins. We left the restaurant at 8:30, and only because we savored our drinks and dessert. When I go out to dinner, I want to sit, relax and enjoy my food, not be hurried in and rushed out. I won't give up on this restaurant because all in all we do like the food and the service and people. Hoping next time we get to enjoy it longer. read more

Went with the moms & 2 kids. Ordered the grill seafood special. Delish! I will say that it's dark inside & a little musty smelling. It would great if the food & ambiance went together. I would order pick up, not sure if I'd sit there for dinner again read more

Food is excellent quality and taste is exquisite. Service is top++ Ambiance is peaceful although the bar, which is next to the dining room, can get loud with just a couple of customers. We love Casa Luis and the owners are always there making sure everything is perfect. read more

Excellent service. Charming place. Delicious octopus appetizer. Wasn't in love with my main dish - Veal a la Luis. 2 desserts both delicious. read more

I have been coming to Casa Luis for YEARS! It is a family favorite! We have never had a bad meal. The octopus is a must order, best I have ever had. I love the cozy atmosphere and excellent waitstaff. I couldn't recommend the restaurant more. read more

I was looking forward to this dinner. I love paella and make it myself, at times. Love to learn from those who make authentic dishes from their country. I had the Paella Valencia with lobster. Tiny lobster tail in this, that's fine, it's not much more money so I get that it would be small and the legs are there for show. Two mussels, one minuscule clam, a tiny piece of chicken, 2 M&M peanut sized scallops, 2 shrimp, and 5 skinny little slivers of sausage in very mushy overcooked rice. Definitely no socarrat whatsoever, so I can't excuse that. Isn't that what makes paella so special? Socarrat? What I was served was MUSHY over cooked wet rice with barely anything in it. People say it's so much you can eat leftovers? Not the case. I was so disappointed with the meal, I decided to take the rice home to dry it out. I'll probably end up throwing it out. So disappointing. Never going back. No issues with service. That was on par. Hubby said his dish was bland too. Not impressed. read more

Pork chops are the most amazing thing I ever tasted If you are picking up you walk in and it is ready. I reccomend eating out there. read more

This restaurant deserves absolute backing. This place stands apart from all others. The staff offered sincere smiles and genuine interest. The taste was so good I closed my eyes to focus on it longer. This place has a charming character. read more

Small restaurant but so good! Definitely order the paella and sangria, you will not be disappointed. We did not see tortilla (Spanish omelette) on the menu but upon asking, we were told they could make one to order and even customized with ingredients so we ended up going with chorizo in it. Unlike other restaurants, this was the best part because it typically has onions and I prefer without so the fact they made to order was amazing. Our server was really accommodating and honestly all of the staff is super nice. The only thing I found odd with it being a Spanish restaurant was they had 2-3 Mexican cuisine items on their menu. If you want authentic Spanish food, check them out! read more

Someone has to tell me what's nice about this place. I went for a birthday celebration with a few people and most of us got the paella bc there's not much on the menu. Started off with bland chips and then ordered the DRIEST MOST POWDERY stuffed clams I've ever had. For not only the price, but compared to every other stuffed clam known to man, this was gross. The Italian seasoning wasn't even cooked into it, we all coughed up powdery Italian seasoning. Then 3 out of 4 of us got our paella, but bc the tables are so small, we found out later on that the rest of our dish is held hostage elsewhere. After 20 min of eating, our waiter finally comes to check in on us and we ask where the lobster was. He kept all of our lobster and paella somewhere else so we never even ate the lobster. Why if this is a popular dish are ur tables not large enough to accommodate it?? None of us will come here again, didn't want to eat leftover lobster the next day when it's best fresh. read more

F L A V O R is their specialty. Unbelievable choices all across the menu. We decided with our favorites (not pictured) the mushrooms, pork, shrimp, and the potato chips. Then finished it off with the arroz con pollo. Everything was delicious and is definitely a must go to place. Staff was very friendly and worked well with one another. I can't wait to be back! read more

Casa Luis - Arroz con pollo - Spanish Near Me - Smithtown, New York

This restaurant is easy to miss when you drive by but it exceeded my expectations. The service was excellent. All staff very attentive but not overwhelming. You can dine inside or outside. I chose outside because I loved the ambiance. I am giving it 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations all around. I haven't been to a restaurant in a long time where everything looked good on the menu. They have food for vegetarians, seafood, steak, pork and chicken dishes. The food taste so good. The drink was delicious and they were not cheap with the liquor. Price is average. Some meals are $20 and other meals range to $80 (lobster). I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

At Casa on Sunday 2/6/22, Happy 89TH Birthday Luis!!! The service & Food is great. Highly recommend. Spanish Paella, margaritas & Sangria are quite popular and a big hit. Whole Bronzini fish is a new addition to the specials menu. Try the mashed potatoes, fried potato chips or steamed potato with lemon. The best. read more

Great margaritas. Wasn't able to finish it. Waiter took away almost half the drink, said it was empty and they charged me for a replacement. Waiter was terrible. Lied and said it was empty. Every time I made eye contact he looked away and walked away. Rushed us through dinner. Dessert was ordered something Natilla and was given tartufo. These waiters speak Zero English and as a result our entire meal was one big miscommunication. Won't be returning. read more

Food was ok. Apps better than the main course. However, they give you soda in these little ish wine glasses and charge you $4.50 per glass and REFILL!!!!! Spent $9 on two small glasses of soda. WEAK!! read more

We started with drinks; GG Martinis with Bleu Cheese Olives and freshly made margheritas....all perfecto. For Appys the 4 of us shared; Chorizo, Gambas Ajillo, Garlic soup and Pork in Garlic Sauce. Our mains were 3 Special Veal Chops and mine was Tripe, pigs feet et. al. in a piping hot pot...all spectacular. Our food was accompanied by a pitcher of Red Sangria Fuerte! After dinner they brought over a selection of after dinner drinks...we chose the Porto..the perfect ending to an incredible experience in these trying times. read more

Some of our favorite John's to order are both of the octopus appetizers and the garlic shrimp appetizer, the shrimp quesadilla, pork chop and the chicken cutlet stuffed with bechemel sauce. if you have never been, you need to try! read more

Nice old-school family restaurant. I had a fantastic paella. I sat at the bar. Everyone turned to see who is coming in . The owner of the place greeted everyone on the phone or in person very . Ample parking. I wouldn't go here again if I lived closer. I may rearrange business trips around visiting Casa Luis read more

Good food, nice service, fair prices. I will definitely return. There is nothing not to like about Casa Luis.

My father-in-law loved having paella from Casa Luis with his family. In the year since he passed away, every time we visit my mother-in-law, we order take out of his favorite items and reminisce at the kitchen table. Most times, we order while having a drink at the restaurant's bar as the friendly bar service and happily-crowded tables remind us of visits from years ago. The food is always delicious although ingredients are not always consistent in quantity or quality likely due to being fresh. This last trip, the owner happened to greet us along with other patrons, another nice touch. read more

I took my husband here for his birthday since he loves Paella and we never tried this place before. The food was amazing and the Pulpo was tender as can be. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming but I was so disappointed when we were walking out the door. On the wall in neon were all the specials that they had! The waitress never mentioned them. Since they were on the wall to the left sort of facing the bar we never saw them when we walked in. So if you go here ask if there are specials for the day. read more

I have to say I was rather disappointed with my last visit. I ordered the fish off the day with green sauce. When I ordered it I asked "What kind of fish is it?" the waiter said "it's a filet" which is the cut but I figured ok if it's a filet it's a mild white fish cut in a thin filet... well i received some kind of fish that was definitely not a filet but rather a Chunky cut of mushy, fishy tasting fish that I couldn't even eat. I asked another waiter, what kind of fish is this... he said I don't know. I wanted to send it back but my Aunt didn't want me to do that so I ended up paying for a dish that went in the garbage. I was rather disappointed with our last visit to Casa Luis and we've been coming here since 1992. You used to come in and Luis would greet you so warmly and everything was excellent this last visit nobody even stopped by our table to see how everything was, nobody noticed the untouched fish fish in front of me?? I hope they step up their fish game because I work hard for my money and to throw it out hurts. read more

Tasteless terrible food and awful service. Don't waste your money. I can't believe this place still exists. read more

Great food! Great Staff, great bar!!! The waiter made great recommendations about how many appetizers to iorder and... they were constantly refilling water glasses. The green sauce is off the charts, paella is off the charts!!! read more

Food was ok. Service was good and the prices are according to the service. The restaurant is ok but i was expecting more...

This place has a reputation for having really good Spanish food. In the case of my wife and I, no bueno. Very overpriced. I ordered a $44 plate that included a 1/2 of a lobster tail. The meat was covered in that green gunk that's supposed to be cleaned out during prep. A shriveled up bite or two, at best. All paella and short on the other seafood that was supposed to be included in the dish. Maybe this was just a bad night for them, but I see no reason to return. High prices don't always mean good food. Plus, there's plenty of other options locally. read more
