    ROSARIO S. CASSATA AT THE GARDEN GRILL IN SMITHTOWN LONG ISLAND NEW YORK.
    Rosario S. C.

    This was our first visit to the Garden Grill restaurant. The establishment is housed in a beautifully preserved historic home, with decor that matches the charming, old-world ambiance. The tables are elegantly set with crisp linen tablecloths and napkins. As you enter, there is an inviting bar, and a cozy upstairs catering room. The menu offers a nice selection of dishes. The food was excellent - the Penne Alla Vodka cocktail had a delightful hint of rosemary. The layout features multiple intimate dining rooms, creating a cozy, comfortable atmosphere.

    Cute place, lots of nooks and crannies filled with tables. We felt that the waitress could of checked in on our table more often. The place was not busy during lunch. Food was dropped and then no return, some of the food as cold. Food had good portions.

    I absolutely love this place, I've never had a bad meal. However this time they forgot our appetizer, no apology but they did take it off the check. Not exactly sure what happened but still enjoyed our entrees. I had the meatloaf and my husband had the duck, both were excellent. They have several different rooms so you get a different atmosphere in each one. This was my first time in the room with the fancy chandeliers and a fire place. I suggest they put that on at some point to give the room an even nicer ambiance. No matter what I will be coming back. Like I said never had a bad meal, and I even had leftovers for another night on my own. Definitely a good place to go for a nice romantic evening out.

    $65 per adult for brunch buffet I barely understand but I have nothing to say... However, same price for 10yrs old kids who only eat some pasta and fries, it's unbelievable!!

    Very pretty Victorian home with lots of charm in many rooms accommodating lots of groups. Live music in the bar, wine tasting & events. The Garden Grill is a Historic Landmark Circa 1873, established in 1993. With American classic homecooking. Very nice menu. We enjoyed our salad, calamari, fried raviolis, stuffed clams, chocolate mousse, pork chops and short ribs. Portions were generous, Service was fabulous. Lots of parking and a nice evening.

    First of all, I wish Yelp had half star ratings.... Because I would've given Garden Grill a 3 1/2. It wasn't good enough to give a 4 but a 3 is a little low for the rating. I was torn between giving it a 3 or 4 but the service was the reason for the lower rating. It was a beautiful fall night and we wanted to eat outside. I've had Garden Grill on my radar for a while now since I live very close and I know they have a beautiful garden area outside. It wasn't busy on a Sunday night and we were sat at a nice table in the garden area. We started off with the pretzel and it was very good. Soft and fresh and the beer cheese was very good. My husband had to ask the waitress for a drink menu and she seemed taken back by his question which I found a little odd. I also had a french onion soup which was very good! Not too salty and the cheese was melted nicely on top with a little broil as well. I had the penne a la vodka for dinner and my husband had the short ribs. Both were just OK. I like pepper, but this was covered in black pepper! It must be in the sauce but my goodness, it was overpowering. The waitress was more of what I call an "order taker". Came over, took our appetizer order, never checked up on us. Took the dinner order, never checked up on us. Never got refills on our drinks and it took over 45 minutes to get our check. The hostess seemed to be the only one really working that night. We were not the only table asking her for help. She brought us to go boxes and our check. All in all, I would only go back for appetizers and drinks. It seems that during the summer, they have a beautiful outdoor bar area which I'd love to try. As for dinner, I think I'll skip that part, the service was just not good and the food was mediocre.

    If you like chicken parm you need to RUN to the Smithtown Pasta House! We came here with a group of…read morefriends last night and I was encouraged by those friends to give the vodka parm a try. You get 2 of the largest most perfectly crisp chicken breasts under a bed of vodka sauce and melted mozz. Enough to last you multiple meals! I also chose a side of pasta in vodka sauce which was huge and equally as delicious. It was the best chicken parm I have ever had. The service was also amazing. The restaurant was clean and really beautiful inside. The bar was hopping also if you like to sit at the bar instead of at a table! My husband and I decided we will be returning ASAP!

The decor as you enter is super cute and continues throughout the entire restaurant. They have a bar, a couple tables outside on Main Street and many different types of seating in the dining room. We were there on. Friday around 4pm and there was plenty of seating. Our server was quick attentive and friendly. She was also very knowledgeable and even provided recommendations. The food came out quick and was hot. One of the meals we ordered to split and they served us with it already split on 2 separate plates. They had a creative drink menu and had many creative food options. As I'm not a huge fan or red sauce, I was happy to see that I could get any of their meals with the vodka sauce. The fried gnocchi with the truffle sauce was so good we will definitely be back again. The chicken had a light breading that didn't take away from the taste of the meal. There is street parking and a shared lot in the back. It was a wonderful experience and meal and we will be back soon!

    Wow..what an amazing new restaurant find! Rockefellers Kitchen did not disappoint. We were able to…read moreget a table for a party of four with no issue, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. The waitress and entire staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. To top it off, there was a young guy singing Frank Sinatra classics in the middle of the week, which gave the place such a fun and classy vibe. For appetizers, we tried the wonton nachos, which were absolutely delicious. The meatballs and mozzarella were good, though a bit heavier on the bread than I prefer. Dinner was outstanding across the board. We ordered the Chicken Caesar salad, hamburger, crab cakes, and the Rockefeller French dip, and every single dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is trendy, with an amazing bar and great atmosphere. I highly recommend checking this place out -- we'll definitely be back!

The old back room had been transformed into an official party room with a separate bar and restroom and closed off with decorative barn doors. The bar area offers ample seating, with the dining area ( offering table service) behind the bar wall overlooking the main stage. Greeted warmly greeted when we first entered with only a five minute wait ( we had a reservation and I highly recommend making one). Again warmly welcomed by our server Nicole who provided an outstanding service throughout the evening. Nicole was friendly, engaging and offered excellent dinner and drink suggestions. Live music was on tap on this Friday evening which did make the dining room rather loud for holding table conversations but worth the live music being played that evening. The cocktail menu offers a good and varied selection of mixed drinks and wine and the mixed drinks are both flavorful and expertly presented. I would highly recommend both the Flappers Folly ( a refreshing floral mix) and the Espresso Martini drinks. Started off with the hot honey & bacon brussel sprout appetizers which were perfectly flavored with the honey and bacon bits over crispy brussel sprouts. All main dish items were very good. The Old Sport Burgers were juicy, flavorful and all cooked to perfection served with crispy string French fries. The French Dip Au Jus was well seasoned and not to dry with a flavorful au jus. I would highly recommend the Gatsby Grain dish bowel. Shredded chicken served over jasmine rice and vegetables was outstanding and served with a side salad. Restaurant manager Cathy was very visible in the dining room checking in with every table and asking for feedback which you don't see very often nowadays. Even got a personal tour of the new party room ( looking for a location for a future event). Overall good food reasonably priced , excellent service and nice decorum with live music offered on the weekends. A great place to grab a drink and listen to music while catching a great burger or the Gatsby Grain dish bowel . You won't be disappointed.

The bartenders were fast and efficient for a wedding of about 100 guests, which was a huge plus. I did hear from a few guests that some drinks weren't immediately available because they needed time to chill -- totally understandable given the timing and setup. One of the highlights was how they worked within my budget while still delivering great customer service with both food and drinks. I also want to shout out an employee who kept mopping the floor throughout the event due to a leaking AC -- that extra effort didn't go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated. That said, there were a few areas that fell short. For a wedding, timing is crucial, and unfortunately, not all tasks listed in the contract were completed -- including timely arrival, full decoration setup, and breaking down all tables and chairs afterward. These small gaps made things a bit stressful during an already time-sensitive event. My family decorated all tables themselves which caused them to be so stressed out instead of enjoying the whole wedding. I believe with more experience handling weddings specifically, the team will be able to execute more smoothly in the future. There's definitely potential here, and I hope this feedback helps them grow and improve!
