    Island Salmon
    Elizabeth M.

    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.

    Congratulations my Leidy for becoming a United States American Citizen!

    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

    Stuffed Fried Plantains
    Lakwan H.

    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.

    Arroz con Pollo
    Julia P.

    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

    Empanadas
    Matt M.

    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.

    Skirt steak with mofongo
    Bill S.

    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.

    Shrimp Mofongo
    Melinda S.

    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!

    Lava Cake-chocolate cake, raspberry puree, coconut flakes, toasted almonds, vanilla ice cream

    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.

    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.

    Do they have take out?

    Yes Cafe Havana offers take out, or curbside pickup.

    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

    What's one way to squeeze out the last few hours of a staycation? Margaritas and apps of course!…read more So with the Honey in tow, we landed here on Sunday evening August 16th. The way the small bar is set up, because of the wall separating it from the dining room...it gives it an intimate vibe I really like. The ambient lighting and pleasing decor sets the mood to enjoy your choice of cocktails. We asked the bartender if she could make the cucumber margarita on the menu spicy? She obliged. Those drinks weren't as spicy or refreshing as we had hoped. We stuck with the classic margaritas for next round. They were just right! I'm not sure if themed weekends are a regular occurrence here. But this night was the final night of their Mango Madness Weekend. We were served plain nachos with a mango salsa dip. The Honey devoured it. I prefer my salsa with a red sauce and a bit of a spicy kick. I decided to give the steam mussels in a sauce with mango pieces, a try. I did not know this was the combination of spicy and sweet that I needed in my life!! We ordered extra bread and sopped up every last bit of it!! We made a point to tell the bartender how much we enjoyed it! We were grateful and disappointed, when she told us we had just eaten the last of it. Dang! We would have certainly asked for another order!! We left there giddy and satisfied. I wasn't even mad that I had to go back to work the next day! I keep thinking, how can we convince them to make the Mango Mussels a permanent menu item? Meet us there and let's discuss it over margaritas! Thank me later.....

    Was taken here for my birthday dinner and was disappointed. The server only seemed half interested…read morein doing his job. He forgot our guacamole, which should've remained forgotten, since it was underseasoned and unremarkable. I was a bit shocked when we got the bill. The MP was $15, for the small, bland portion. Cubano quesadilla appetizer was good and substantial. Sangria was $35 and suffered from a serious lack of alcohol. My chipotle shrimp entrée didn't look like anything special, but tasted much better than it looked. My companions softshell crab taco special was good. The woman who came to our table who (was not the server) did not understand. the question asked to her about the bill, and as a result, gave an incorrect answer. Mostly Decent food (poorly presented) some overpriced items, indifferent service. This was my first time here and I'm not sure I would return.
