Had a wonderful meal here, waiter was very knowledgeable and prevented us from over ordering. Only negative was the small size of the parking area. read more

What a great place to dine and feel at home. Came here for the first time about 5 weeks ago and tried their Paella with lobster and loved it. Spoke with Delia about ordering a tray of Paella (w/o lobster) for Christmas (was hosting Christmas dinner) and she said NP, but they were not open on Christmas, so I ordered it to be picked up on Christmas Eve. Came for dinner on Christmas Eve, tried their octopus as Delia said it was a specialty of her father's, and had the lamb chops. OMG, the octopus was soooo tender, I recommend everyone try it. The lamb chops were medium rare, which was perfect. The rest of my party had steaks and the pork chop special, and everybody raved about how delicious their dishes were. On Christmas day, everyone loved the Paella Casa Luis was so accommodating to us; we requested to be seated in their outdoor tent and they turned on the heaters for us, even though we were the only ones sitting in the tent. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the trek from inside the restaurant to us in the tent; Delia stopped by regularly to chit chat and to see how we were doing. They made us feel like family. I highly recommend Casa Luis to anyone who wants a great meal and to feel welcome, like family. read more

Wouldn't recommend. Got the shrimp fajitas. Shrimp had that gross chemical preservative taste.

Casa Luis never disappoints. Have been going to this place for over 10 years now. Was devastated when it was closed down for a bit. Came back better than ever. The outside part is a great addition to make some more room. Luis and his crew are all fabulous and make for a fun and welcoming evening. The food is always amazing and tasty. All around wonderful place for authentic Spanish food. read more

Casa Luis is the bomb! My family and I have been coming here since as long as I can remember - and for good reasons. The cuisine is Northern Spain and paella is their specialty, in particular, Paella Valenciana - which is where paella was invented! This is one of their robust dishes which I like to order with the half lobster tail as a real treat. Other notable items worth ordering: Salpicon (cold shrimp/scallop citris salad), Gambas al ajillo (gotta love garlic!), and Pulpo. Definitely order a margarita or a pitcher to knock your socks off (they are lethal!) If you're lucky, go during grappa season, where Luis himself may appear from the kitchen and pour you a free sample of his homemade libation. Décor is a little old school and worn Spaniard-style home of the caballeros, but makes for a cozy dining experience and is a great date spot ;) Will be returning here again and again as it is nice to go somewhere where, "everybody knows your name!" read more

The food was terrific-tasting and fresh. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and comfortable. It's a family-owned and operated business, and with that, they can offer something that the larger places just can't do. read more

My in-laws love this place for it's lobster specials cuz they serve it year round but this time I tried the Pulpo Gallegos. (Octopus!) It was so tender and so good! Might have even been better than some of the octopus I loved in Portugal. It was good to see the restaurant packed on a Friday night too after having to rebuild the restaurant due to accident/fire. Try the white sangria too! Esp in the summer! Much more refreshing than the traditional red. Never been disappointed in a meal here. Worth checking out! (Also I'm from Denver, not Brookhaven. Yelp picked a nearby location for some reason?) read more

This place is like being in Spain. The minute you walk inside is like being at home , amazing hospitality by the owner and family ,service was exceptional food was amazing and exquisite just from the madre patria. Highly recommended and definitely will go back soon with my family. Much love read more

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! The paella is fantastic! The only thing better is the sangria!

Having met the owners this past Christmas while skiing we made an effort to go out and visit the restaurant. We found the food very authentic it reminded us of the Spanish meals my parents cook for us when we were children. We ordered the octopus a la Gallego and the the Callos( tripe) dish they were both authentic and made me wax nostalgic. Look forward to returning. read more

Paella is marvelous & any dish in green sauce is scrumptious. Food is authentic Spanish. Margaritas are always wonderful. Nice family owned place, warm & inviting. If you want a great experience Casa Luis is the place to go. read more

Was so looking forward to trying this restaurant with my husband and another couple. We all agreed it was definitely a place we wouldn't go to again. It was the worst paella I have ever tried and the gazpacho soup was fairly tasteless. Definitely not the quality we were hoping for. read more

We love Casa Luis. The food and service are always excellent. It has become our new go to restaurant. I would suggest making a reservation it is busy on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

Highly recommend, awesome friendly service and great food to match! Make your way there you won't be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of going back last evening since the reopening. There is just no profound words that can translate to this awesome place! Had a blast enjoying a Friday night in the lounge area with good strong yumfully delish margaritas. I had the Mango Rita and it was packed full of tasty punch! The kind that you know it's an adult beverage after having just one. They Rita's are perfectly hand made to order with the perfect amount of booze. They're so good you can't taste the alcohol but you sure know it's loaded from the warm fuzzy happy attitude adjustment it gives you! Always greeted by Luis & his daughter Delhi along with the friendliest staff makes you feel like your family. The food is absolutely layered with different levels of flavors that pop in your mouth that makes for one happy tongue! I had the shrimp Gumbus and it was absolutely amazing! This place will never ever let you down as I have been coming here since the late '80's and it seems to always get better like a fine bottle of vino. Don't forget to get the homemade flan which is made daily as it will smooth out the end of the evening with a snifter of Cardinal Mendoza. The only bad part of coming here is knowing that after your belly is full and your nice and toasty from the drinks, is thinking about having to leave the fun to go home! You'll be thinking about when the next time is that you can go back! The vibes are high energy and everyone there including other guests are extremely friendly which makes for the best night out on the town. Come hungry, make new friends, feed your soul with the best food and drink on Long Island & NYC! read more

Casa Luis - The Homemade Flan made everyday is the perfect ending to the perfect meal! Absolutely delish. Creamy, warm and euphoric! - Spanish Near Me - Smithtown, New York

Enjoyed another fine meal and excellent professional service at a very early Monday dinner. If you haven't been it's survived being surrounded by new and old restaurants for an extremely long time because they make you feel like family and are consistent in the quality of their food and drink. It's basic Spanish cooking so the focus is on each ingredients, you'll not find spice except in the excellent dip sauce for the crispy chips. Over the years we have been many times and I order something different every time and never disappointed. But I have to say as far as appetizers the baked clams are the best I've ever had, seasoned just right tender and moist and fresh. I remember the anticipation in Smithtown and Commack of their reopening after they sustained a fire, we worried, the restaurant business is hard and after time off maybe they would enjoy being away from the craziness the business. They enjoy people and you will feel that when you enter. read more

After an extensive search for authentic Spanish cuisine I came across Casa Luis. I convinced our good friends, Luis and Elsie to join me and my wife for dinner on Feb 7, 2018. We were totally amazed at the quality of the food with our friend Luis proclaiming that this restaurant offered the most authentic Spanish food in the region and he compared to the food he had in Spain during his frequent travels there. Kudos to the family who owns Casa Luis- you have now a new satisfied customer who will definitely return. PS: all our selections were excellent- from the appetizers (chorizos, garlic sautéed shrimp, caldo gallego) and the mains (paella valenciana and grilled salmon). Muy bueno! read more

Lovely family owned restaurant, authentic Spanish food. Amazing service. Delia and her parents are great human beings. Quality of food is top notch. read more

Good solid Long Island style Spanish restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Upon our friends invitation, we met at Casa Luis for dinner on a busy Sat night. Getting there about 7 there were still a few spots in the parking area however given the popularity of this local restaurant, parking looks as if it can get tricky later in the evening. Inside is a tight but cozy dining room with bullfighting paintings and Big hats hanging on the posts (reserved for pictures when it's your birthday I was told). The menu has a good selection of Spanish entrees like paella and mariscada dishes in addition to chops and assorted seafood dishes. I went with a seafood mariscada in green sauce with lobster. The plate it was served on was a bit small for the amount of clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops along with a lobster tail. The food, swimming in their rich mariscada green sauce, was very close to spilling off the plate.I would have preferred it served in a pot as they do some of their other dishes and then scooped on to my plate little by little. The green sauce was delicious with garlic and parsley, great for sopping it up with bread afterwards! House made chips and sauteed veggies were served alongside and both were delicious. For dessert, flan of course with a decaf cappuccino. Nice creamy flan floating in a small amount of syrup. In all, a nice meal solid 4 star local gem. read more

Aye caramba - Probably the wrong form of Spanish I am looking for, but this place just keeps on hitting me right in the garlic chops... I could bathe in that sauce of theirs, I swear... Never had a bad meal here and since I was out and about in the area today, I popped in for my fix. Awesome.. Go. read more

Everything cooked fresh, always a fantastic meal. I love local family run businesses, all the staff are fantastic.

Decided on Casa Luis after receiving a gift certificate. Many of our friends raved about this place and live in actual Smithtown. We decided to take our family, there were six of us. The wait staff was friendly and fast so far so good. Our food came out within 15 minutes max, wow!! we were skeptical but impressed. Our daughter ordered paella, which she loves, she took a couple of bites and felt bad to tell us that it didn't taste good. My husband and I took a taste, and something was definitely wrong with this food. It was actually horribly tasting. With this, one of us noticed that the tortillas that we had for two of the food orders were green molded on one end. At this point we checked the tortilla underneath it and it had mold too. The waiter came out with the pot of paella asking my daughter if she wanted more, she politely said no and then I advised this waiter that actually that tastes really bad. The waiter apologized for the food, they took off my daughter's plate, no one came to our table, manager, cook etc.. to apologize for this bad experience. We were all super disappointed and couldn't eat after all of that. It is very sad that this all turned out the way it did. We were all very excited to eat out together. This place was not impressive at all and I am sure our friends would be shocked at our experience. read more

Been on the lookout for a good Spanish restaurant since the closing of House of Spain in Merrick. I've been dying for some good Chicken Villaroy and was super excited to see it on the menu! It was DELICIOUS! Rice and potatoes on the side were amazing as well. The place packed out and every seat was taken by 630PM, and virtually every single table was ordering the paella. I wish I ate that kind of seafood, because if every table was ordering it, then that says something. Owner and his daughter are very personable and friendly, waitstaff was efficient and organized. Will definitely be back! read more

Terrific food and decent portions. Service was great! We enjoyed the authentic cuisine.

When our son became a Doctor and got married the next week, Luis rolled out his Red & Yellow carpet to celebrate his rehearsal dinner. One million thanks to Luis, his daughter Delia and his lovely staff. It was a perfect, magical night and we can not say enough about the amazing food. Just a note to his regular patrons. So sorry for the noise. Diez Estrellas de la familia Estrada xoxo read more

I went to Casa Luis last night, After they had Grand reopening. When you come here you are treated as Family. The old Staff was back, in addition to Owner/ Chef Luis. The Inside of the Place retains the charm of this long popular Smithtown Restaurant. After hugging The Bartender who is Luis' s Daughter Dalia, I was back Home. Our Party first ordered Their excellent Margaritas, I ordered A Frozen Strawberry Margarita which was excellent. If you just want a Drink or Tapas they have a beautiful new Bar, where Dalia will welcome New and old Customers like Family. The Rolls and Breads were all Artisan made. For Appetizers we shared Family Style. Salpicon which is Seafood Ceviche, just like I remember. Also had Pork in Garlic Sauce, and a shrimp Dish which had a great flavor with fresh cooked Shrimp. By now I was feeling great thanks to my Drink. Service is always personable and friendly. The Servers greeted us as we have been Regular Customers for years. Casa Luis Staff works as one which enhances the Dining experience even more. For Our Main Courses we ordered The Paella Valencia, This is a Spanish Dish, which Served in a Pot. Paella Valencia starts with Saffron Rice in a wonderful sauce, piled high with Seafood, Chorizio , and Chicken which infuses The Shrimp, Scallops, Clams, and Mussels.The Flavor and Atmosphere give you a feeling of being in Barcelona, not Smithtown. The Paella easily serves two, as do many of the Dinners. Hidden Gem not on Menu are Enchiladas that The Staff will be more than happy to Prepare for your Dinner.The Rice and Beans are from and old Family Recipe . The Steak Fajitas were so flavorful with a great twist as served in Tomato sauce, but more of a glaze, then Italian Sauce. Rice and Beans again were served on The Side. ### I highly recommend Reservations, as many regulars come weekly. Without a Reservation there will be a wait on weekends, but The Sangria is a great way to start your Dinner Party. Casa Luis greet all Guests , new and old as family. Opening weekend was very busy. I have Dined many places worldwide, but Casa Luis is my Neighborhood Feel Good Restaurant. Thank you Chef Luis, your lovely wife, and daughter. If you have room have dessert and Coffee, They also have and Espresso Machine, which pulls the perfect shot, and all other manner of dessert coffees. 25 Years and Going strong. Welcome Back" Owner/ Chef Luis. Jon Parkus read more

Best Spanish restaurant in the metro area. Food and service are absolutely excellent.

As always delicious and consistent. Casa Luis of Commack is known for their Paella dishes and they do not disappoint. We were glad to get last min reservation and they staff could not of been more friendly and accommodating to see their old patrons after being shut down for a year due to construction. Garlic shrimp appetizer, with delicious sangria and margaritas for the table, their homemade chips with red sauce for each table it's a great start. The impressive part is when the skillet of hot Paella comes to the table full of seafood and meats and that's when your mouth starts to water. Not many restaurants know how to make this dish but Casa Luis is known for the best on Long Island. read more

So glad to go back to a long time favorite! Always delicious and amazing service. Casa Luis, truly the best in Spanish Cuisine. read more

Food was great. After being closed for an extended time they had some kinks, only some of the old staff seemed to be back, we had a new server that did not have a clue but we called over one of the original waiters to clarify some questions we had. The menu is the same, better bread, bright, noisy but it always was with a full house. We had Chicken Ajilio on the bone, shrimp with green sauce and lobster in garlic sauce , a salad to start same as before but they didn't have the great tomato based salad dressing they used to have. Not sure if they will offer it. The complimentary chips & hot tomato sauce were fantastic but we got the last basket. The Sangria was great. We shared 3 dishes amongst 4 people. The check all in was $160 which included 2 deserts. WE WILL BE BACK...welcome back Casa Luis. WE LOVE YOU!!! read more

My wife and I had dinner on Friday. We usually go with the always-great Paella, but we had veal chops and Pollo al ajillo respectively. As usual the food was excellent! The service is always top-notch. I highly recommend Casa Luis! read more
