I've driven past this place many times and finally came here for a date night with my husband. It was very good. The ambiance is perfect, not too dark and not too light. Service was good too aside from bit of wait to get the check, hence why this is four stars. Food was excellent. We shared the Avocado Shrimp Ceviche as an appetizer. My husband had the Ropa Vieja and I had the Island Salmon which had a nice crisp to it, excellent dish. For dessert we shared the Havana Flan. I've been searching for a delectable flan and I have finally found my place. The toasted almonds on top was such a nice touch. The food was a little pricey for my taste but for the overall experience and delicious food I will definitely be back.
Joe and I had a very pleasant dinner with a few of our friends. Love the ambiance of Coco Bistro! The decor is gorgeous. Very spacious dinning area and large beautiful bar. Staff was hard working, friendly and helpful. We all thought the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Tried Coco for the first time & everything was tasty & delicious. It was 5 of us that had a variety of food from pasta to steak. For apps the empanadas were cooked to perfection as well as the stuffed sweet plantains different & delicious. The drinks were also great as they had cocktail & mock-tail menus. I had the carne asada with rice & beans delicious. The pork chop was also great! The scallops made to perfection. It was pricey so make sure to check out the website to see the prices or extra charges! Overall birthday lunch was great with good friends & food!
For starters .., Amazing impeccable service by our server Sariah! We had a huge party of 8 indecisive ppl celebrating a bday & she handled our orders with care & dealt with our picky choices & moods. She Was very understanding , patient & accommodating. 5 stars to her give her a raise ! Now on to the food... Food was great too except that my steak was not cooked to perfection the way I requested. I wanted medium well & it was still bloody Sariah handled that & got a new steak prepared for me. The appetizers were amazing too! I loved the coconut shrimp & the sweet sauce it came with also the presentation served in a coconut added a nice touch. So divine! My mouth is drooling just thinking about them. The rice & beans / plantains were also very flavorful the other ppl in my party ordered red snappers & roasted chicken. & my fam is a very picky bunch. If they do not like something oh they'll make sure you know it lol. Everyone enjoyed their meal this night! Thanks again Oh & I forgot to mention the drinks they were tasty too the martini she suggested was spot on! Sweet but still enough to get the job done Thanks again
My partner and I went to coco bistro for the first time and truly enjoyed it. We had an early dinner so it was not a lot of people inside and we were seated immediately. We were than greeted by our waiter and he was lovely and also gave advice on the food. The dining area had warm lighting and we were put near the fist tank which was so nice to watch (almost calming). We ordered appetizers as well as a main and dessert; and everythign was so delicious. I absolutely loved the stuffed plantain. My steak was rolled up and loved the presentation. I would love to go back as soon as I can.
Came here for date night. Did not disappoint! We were seated immediately for our reservation time. The sangria was delicious and the appetizers were full of Flavor. I was a bit full but managed to eat some of the main entree. The roasted chicken is massive. The red beans are authentic excellent flavor, I needed more but decided to not bother the waiter. The arroz con pollo was also delicious, minor criticism could use more chicken to arroz ratio for those who focus on protein. For dessert we had the flan which is topped with almonds. The atmosphere is intimate, dimmed lights. We will come back when there's music hopefully in the summer
What a great atmosphere Coco Bistro has, the fish tank, the trees, the outside patio, very cool. The service was friendly and attentive. We opted for the empanadas which were good and I enjoyed the dipping sauce but for $5 a pop, I don't think it was worth it. For dinner my wife enjoyed the salmon, flavored really well. I had the Ropa Vieja and it was seasoned well, but for $32, I would expect a lot more beef than what was given. I probably could have eaten it in 3 bites. After my dinner with rice and beans and eating my wife's rice and beans, I was still left hungry. So the food was really good, I would just eat a protein bar or something beforehand.
New name, still the same fun food along with higher prices. Coco Bistro Kitchen & Lounge, a stalwart in the Smithtown dining scene has a new name but nothing else has changed. This is a big space, there are three levels of Dining, Dancing and Drinking libations. We usually meet our friends when we go out, one couple had a last minute emergency. My wife and I went to the restaurant 30 minutes beforehand to have a drink at their nice looking bar. Dancing downstairs is happening. I mean, I am Bill S, the non hispanic causing panic on the dance floor. Tonight, my wife wants a low key evening so we have a drink at the upstairs bar. We're able to have cocktails and conversation upstairs. Our friends arrive and we're quickly seated. I ordered Coconut Shrimp for a starter. Mmm.. It's my favorite appetizer. My buddy & I ordered the same thing, skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. Its my favorite dish and I wrote about it before and yes the Mofongo still sucks. haha After we finish dinner, I order an espresso as well as the famous Tres Leches cake. Folks, this is a must when you come to Coco Bistro Kitchen. Great meal, great drinks in a fun setting, total fan of Coco Bistro Kitchen.
Went for a dinner during the holidays. The atmosphere here is great! Elegant and sexy. They decorated this restaurant perfectly. Winter Moscow Mule was tasty. Expresso Martini was a little bland. Mango Scallop and Shrimp were flavorful! Mofongo was ok, but the sauce was salty. Waitstaff were professional and attentive. Would definitely come back here to try the rest of the menu!
What an amazing experience! It's rare when you come across a restaurant that really hits the nail on the head- and this is definitely IT! The ambiance is very nice and intimate from the moment you enter the dining room- definitely the perfect place for a date night. From beginning to end everyone was very attentive and accommodating. Our server Sariah especially was very attentive to us and actually gave us recommendations towards what to get. Per her recommendation, I ended up getting the Seafood Paella and my brother picked the Skirt Steak. We swapped a bit of everything we got so we each got a taste of everything and our unanimous vote was that it was 5/5 stars from the meal to the whole experience! Appetizers: -Beef Empanadas: so flavorful and perfectly crisp. Perfect ratio -Stuffed Sweet Plantain: Such a pleasant surprise combined with the beef and mozzarella. Mains: -Seafood Paella: (saffron rice, mussels, shrimp, clams, scallops, calamari) AMAZING! so perfectly seasoned and moist. Such a nice ratio of all the seafood- a delight entirely! -Skirt Steak: (pico de gallo, chimichurri, white rice, red beans) FLAVORFUL! Such a well seasoned and cooked skirt steak with a combination of their perfectly tasteful white rice and red beans! Desserts: -Havana Flan: So rich and decadent. It is topped with almonds that are toasted and it really adds a nice texture, crunch, and all around flavor. -Lava Cake: (chocolate cake, raspberry puree, coconut flakes, toasted almonds, vanilla ice cream) Beautifully paired altogether! All around great experience- we will definitely be back for more!
While visiting family in New York decided to have a girls night out and we ended up coming here. I have been here before when it was a different name, I believe the Cuban cafe...nothing has changed but the name inside looks the same. The drinks were great, ordered a Moscow mule which the first one was almost spilled on me but it was fine. Thankfully that wasn't the case. Only reason it receives 4 stars because of that and the flan.....I'm sorry but the flan tasted like it was in the fridge for a very long time and it was old. Wasn't a big fan of that and we didn't eat it all. I'm a flan lover and yeah that wasn't it. The food was delicious, I loved the chips and guac very fresh. I ordered the island salmon which was surprisingly delicious the coconut rice was amazing it was a great touch. My friends ordered the carne asada and the pernil asado...the carne was delicious and juicy! I loved it I tried a piece of it. The pernil was good too I do wish it was a little more juicy but all in all everything was cooked amazingly. Service and ambience is excellent. A little on the high end price but there is value in the food, oh and It wasn't busy for a Friday night.
It's been a while since I was last here, it was still cafe havana. I absolutely enjoyed my dinner date with my husband. We did not have reservations but we were seated right away. Ordered the original mojito (barely any alcohol) but the food was amazing! Wr both ordered from the pre-fixed menu. Perfect amount of food, so flavorful and delicious. The service was great too! Zach our waiter was on top of everything we needed.

Last night's dinner was the perfect combo of a casual night out with family and a unique menu full of delicious choices. Pair that with Edwin, our top notch server, and Emily, an amazingly welcoming manager, it was a great experience! I went with Edwin's recommendation of Pernil Asado as my main course, it was incredible. Emily sent over some coconut shrimp, served in a coconut style platter on skewers, also delicious. Everyone loved their drinks, their food, and the atmosphere. Such a clean and fun restaurant, the only problem is trying to choose which dish to go with. Bring friends so you can share!!!! Loved it, see you again soon!!! read more

Been here once before for a special occasion. Returned for Christmas Eve dinner. Had the skirt steak with rice and beans. Rice and beans were great! The skirt steak was better the first time I went. This time it was not as tender and it was rolled up vs the first time it was nicely cut and presented. My daughter's carne asada was the better choice because it was nicely sliced and a more tender cut of meat. The appetizers were really delicious, we had nachos, baked clams and calamari. The nachos are not on the menu but when we asked for it, they made it for us. For dessert the standout was their flan and chocolate lava cake. The place was a little chilly inside. Our water glasses were frequently refilled and service was very friendly. read more

Run here! Are you running? Seriously! Bring yourself here ASAP! I didn't know what to expect when I decided to come here. I just wanted a new spot to go to with my dad. Pulling up to it, I was very underwhelmed. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the patio and I was intrigued and then the main door and I was just so confused in a good way. Where did all this come from? It's so Beautiful and big!! Really nice vibe! Service was great! AND THE FOOD INCREDIBLE!! That snapper thoooo . I'm Jamaican so we know how to fry a fish and THIS was seasoned and fried to perfection (not pictured are the plantains, rice and beans and veggies) all ginger looking good! My dad devoured his paella and the drinks were delicious! On the receipt , it said if you bring it to brunch you get 10% off! Not that I needed it, I already decided I was going back but the added incentive is a bonus! 10 STARS!!!! read more

Ambience was very nice , dim lighting , not loud in there. Nice for a date night or whenever. They do take reservations if you like , I didn't have one and we were seated right away on a midweek night. Waiter was very pleasant and attentive, I think his name was nick? We ordered the salmon and the pork chops. We both enjoyed our food and the salmon was very good. Pork chops were good as well. Waiter was very nice and attentive read more

I love that Coco Bistro takes such pride in the ambiance of the restaurant and lounge. Everything feels very pristine and classy! That being said, the food and service are equally top-notch! I forgot to take photos of my food because it was so good. However, I ordered the pasta, which was delicious. My friend and I then headed to the lounge downstairs after dinner, and everything was great down there, too. I highly recommend this restaurant and lounge. read more

Came here recently for a happy hour visit with one of my girlfriends and we had a timeeeee!!! Omar perfectly crafted our drinks and we are eternally grateful for him. We tried three margaritas; pomegranate, blackberry and 43 berry. All were fantastic but the 43 Berry Margarita was our absolute favorite! We then shared an order of guava wings (a must have!) and each got a taco trio featuring shrimp, carne asada, and carnitas tacos. Though all were very tasty, the shrimp taco blew the others out of the water! We actually ordered more shrimp tacos for the road lol. Overall, we had a wonderful experience that only made us love the restaurant more. We can't wait to come back soon to relish in the incomparable food, service, and ambiance that Coco Bistro has to offer. read more

Ask the Community - Coco Bistro Kitchen & Lounge
Are reservations excepted for a party of 15?
I would imagine it's the best idea to have a reservation for that large of a group so they are ready for you
Did they only change the name from Cafe Havana to Coco Bistro or is this a completely different concept/decor and menu now?
It's mostly just a name change, because the decor and menu are largely the same. They have added some new options though. I was nervous because this is one of my favorite restaurants, but I have been there several times since the change and it's…
Any music live band in this atmosphere or only Dining?
No music yet, unfortunately
I heard there was salsa dancing here? Where?
The have a nightclub downstairs. Never been there when it was busy. Last time we dined upstairs, the club was closed - possibly for summer. Call ahead.
Is it kid friendly?
Yes, it is. I brought my one year old. (They have high chairs). There are steps inside though. And there is not a changing table in any of the bathrooms.
Do they have valet or handicap parking and Is the dining area on the main floor?
They have valet and yes dining area is on main floor
