Very good food and drinks. Ambiance was very nice. Wait staff attentive. Never disappoints!

, improve the quality of the food. Service was great. Very expensive, drinks are very expensive. Restaurant was very loud. Went on a Saturday at 6:30 place was empty. As the time passed more people came in. One and done. Go to Sangria 71. 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

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. read more

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 read more

We have been coming here for over 10 years. It is one of our favorite restaurants and our go to for Comfort food. The food remains excellent but we were disappointed with the pitcher of sangria The pitcher was smaller and it was not the same quality we had grown accustomed to. It tasted more like fruit punch than wine. The gratuity was also built into the bill. We always tip generously but didn't like being told too. Hope you bring back some Of the quality we loved. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Coco Bistro Kitchen & Lounge - Skirt steak with mofongo - Cuban Near Me - Smithtown, New York

This restaurant is a beautiful gem with authentic Cuban food. I ordered the chicken soup which was amazing down to the seasoning and actually pieces of meat chucks in it. My entree was the Seafood Mofongo- which was good however not the Top 5 best I have experienced in other restaurants. My date and I ordered chips & guac which was "Amazing" especially because the restaurant has well seasoned sauce from non spicy to very spicy "with the still very spicy because seasoned while still very spicy". My date ordered the Surf & Turf which was a very strong pick and good dish. I actually caught myself consistently picking at my date's plate because the dish was really good. Lastly, service was phenomenal and zero complaints about the staff. I would absolutely come back here. The plenty of parking is a plus as well! P.S. This place doubles as a nice mature lounge on Saturday Nights with live music. I will definitely return! read more

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! read more

This was the most disgusting lunch that my husband and I ever had. The staff was nice but the food was horrific. I actually vomited in my napkin, no lie. I'm not sick, no fever. read 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. 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

Went there on a Wednesday night and all 4 of us had the 3 courses for $39. Food was excellent but $11 for a cappuccino! Plus some additional service fee (not the tip) put it way over $39 per person. Buyer beware! read more

Food was fine but a 20% tip was added to the bill automatically and then the tax was added after the tip. Basically taxing the tip. The prixe fix tip was added twice. Tried to contact manager 3 times. read more

Came here for brunch, and all of us adults ordered a Cuban sandwich on a French baguette, and it came with a side of fries. The sandwich was so delicious. Yum, I had to order one to-go! The chocolate chip pancakes were also a hit with the kiddos. So soft and fluffy and mouth-watering whip cream. Also enjoyed their fresh pressed sunset juice, which consisted of carrots, oranges, beets, and lemon, and requested to add ginger. Our waiter was super attentive. Our cups were never empty. There seems to be a downstairs I believe is a club? Not too sure. Didn't ask. All I can say is we will be back to try more of their other deliciousness. And grab their Cuban sandwich to-go again for sure! 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

Great food, great service and a great atmosphere. We have been going there since it first opened as Cafe Havana.

The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. We were very pleased and enjoyed our meal.

All kids work here and have no idea how to run a business. The host Sophia is rude,nasty young girl who should not be the first person you see when you walk in. She tried sitting my husband and I at a table where we were not happy with and then sat us in the corner between two other couples, meanwhile there were so many tables open the whole time we were there till we left!! We should have just left at this point. Thank god Zach was such a great waiter! But the kitchen got our order wrong twice! We asked for pickled onions on our nachos and they gave us pickles !!! LOL WHAT!!! and then our dessert was given frozen but it was still good. Thank you Zach for making our experience better but We will not be back. read more

Food, service and ambience all 5 stars! No one in our group ordered the same thing but we tried everyone else's food. Everything was delicious! Ropa vieja, yuca fries, stuffed plantains. Not the cheapest place sadly, but if you can afford it or just want to go for special occasions, I highly recommend! read more
