Kids Corkscrew Pasta
Dawn A.

Post Office Cafe is a classic stop in Babylon Village that I often forget. We were in town trying to get 3 teens and myself to agree on a place to eat. Pizza? Nah - the boys just ate that. Chinese or Asian fusion? We just had that the other day. Diner? Nah. My daughter remembered Post Office Cafe and we went. It was very loud in the front and we almost walked out but figured we'd give it a try. They seated us way in the back (I had no idea this place was so huge!) where it was quieter. I ordered a chicken salad of some kind with avocado and salad. My son ordered the mac and cheese - it was the highlight of dinner! Absolutely delicious. His friend got the Thai calamari which was decent until he got to the bottom. It was soaked in seasoning and too sweet. My daughter got the buttered pasta - children's portion. I'll let the photo speak for itself. It was drenched in butter. On the bright side - service was great, most of the meals were excellent, waffle fries on point. I mentioned the pasta and showed our server the pool of butter. He took it off our bill without even asking. So ... 4 stars - 5 stars for local business service and just lost the one star for the less than stellar meal and app. Will probably be back!

Fish And Chips
Rob P.

I went to the Post Office Cafe for lunch & it was decent. I ordered the fish & chips which honestly was better than a lot of other places in Suffolk. It was a little oily & I wish the Old Bay French Fries had a little more seasoning on it but still was good. My Sam Adams was flat off the tap so I ordered a Bud Light bottle to replace it. The atmosphere is an open high ceiling bar with a post office front, hasn't changed much in many years. The bartender was friendly and the clientele was random people grabbing a weekday lunch. I would return if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to go there as a destination

I had the fish and chips it was good. The fish was flaky and good with a homemade tarter sauce it was delightful. The fries had old bey seasoning it was good but a little bit salty besides that great flavor on point. The Coleslaw you tell was made in house. I'm not a coleslaw fan but this was actually not bad. The ambiance was nice lights dim and beautiful decor to go with a nice spot. The service was good they got us in quickly. Two to three people asked if we needed anything was everything okay. It was nice to have great service.

Southwest Chicken Spring Rolls
Kelly F.

Came here for a bite to eat after attending a show at the Argyle Theater in Babylon. Not much to say... service was weird, food was mediocre, ambiance was eh, typical. The spring rolls appetizer wasn't too bad, but as basic a cesear salad can be, how was it just ok? Grilled chicken seemed like it was pre-packaged, not fresh. And for $22 that chicken should be made to order. Any how, try at your own discretion, but I doubt I'll be back.

Classic Burger
Mel P.

Popped in for quick lunch. Ordered a burger and the steak sandwich. Burger was good, the streak was too chewy for me. The fries were good. Staff was friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Welcome to Post Office Cafe

I was fortunate enough to photograph an office holiday party at the Post Office Cafe. My trip from Mineola was extremely simple and there was plenty of street parking. No meters during the holiday season was also a wonderful thing for the Village of Babylon. This is a very large venue with many different places to sit. I came into the bar area and navigated to the attached party room. (Obviously, this was a very large post office.) It was a very comfortable walk around this very comfortable venue. This was a party of approximately 55 people and as soon as people started to arrive, the appetizers came out in ample supply. There was never a shortage of food here. The private bar area was busy and the team members behind the counter were moving quickly and well. The team here is wonderful and everyone was very attentive to all of the guests and... extremely pleasant. Everyone sat down for the late lunch and were all served very promptly. I stayed at the bar and had a TERRIFIC burger and fries. Plenty of pictures to take a plenty of room to take them. They even helped me move some tables for a group picture. This is a wonderful environment with great food and an amazing team. I am looking forward to returning with my wife for a meal. KUDOs to the team at Post Office Cafe.

I can't believe how disappointed I was after my visit! I had decided to check this place out because a few people had mentioned it to me and I had driven past a few times. It definitely is beautiful establishment, very pretty on the outside, and a nice space inside as well. There is a full bar as well as lots of table seating. Once we were seated we were asked if we wanted drinks, and we then placed our food order. Once the food came out, our waitress never came back until it was time to ask for the check. We had wanted more diet cokes/prosecco, but we didn't get a chance to order it. Aside from the service, the food was also sub-par. The chicken quesadilla was overtly fried, and the chicken did not taste good at all. It almost tasted like that type of filler chicken. It didn't taste fresh at all either. The wings were okay, but the sweet potato fries were bad. They were super soggy and lacked any flavor. I thought this may have been an off night, so I did try dining here a few nights later with my husband and we had a bad experience as well. The fries and burger were COLD. On both nights, it was not busy in there at all. The food was consistently bad. I'm not sure I'd return.

cocktail menu

The Post Office restaurant sounded fun and seemed to have a fair few vegetarian options, so we went there with a bunch of the family. Super cute place, and we were greeted promptly. The menu is interesting, and a number of us were talking about the burgers, and I was super interested in potentially turning the "Truffle shroom" burger into a vegetarian version. Our server said that'd be fine, and when I asked if they could prepare the veggie patty on a separate surface, like a separate pan. She seemed quizzical, and replied that she imagined it shouldn't be a problem, but that she'd have to check with the kitchen. The arancini sounded interesting as well - cacio e pepe - but we wanted to clarify that it was also vegetarian. Our server seemed a little miffed: "it's rice". Our clarification question was whether or not that was prepared with any chicken stock, for example. She said she'd check with the kitchen. When our server returned, she informed us that the kitchen does, indeed, use chicken in their arancini, and added that they can't cook the burger on a separate surface. Really? The kitchen doesn't have a pan? So, "can't" really means "won't". Well, that is just a high level of accommodation. Rather than argue, I relegated myself to just fries, and now limit this this review to a maximum of three stars. That's right; I "can't" give more than three stars to this restaurant. Looking at the titles of the star-levels, Three is "OK", and "could've been better" is far more appropriate. Two it is. The drinks were yummy, and the waffle fries were tasty. So much so that I didn't even think to take a photo of the fries until there was only one left. All in all a fair experience, but the basic refusal of the kitchen to accommodate a legitimate concern of a vegetarian to not have his veggie patty cooked on the same surface as the rest of the meaty burgers is disturbing.

Chicken Wrap
Kendra C.

Had lunch here. They have a great looking menu but the food didn't hit sadly. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. It was more soupy than thick. There was no sign of artichoke. The slice of cheese on top looked good but solidified really quick and we had to tear at it to try to eat it. I got the chicken wrap. It didn't have any flavor and seemed to just be the breading of the chicken without any chicken at all. There was no flavor to it at all; not even the ranch. I mainly tasted the burnt part of the wraps. My friend got a salad and said the chicken tasted like prepackaged chicken rather than freshly grilled. The drinks we got were great! I'd come back for that but not the food.

Chipotle BBQ boneless wings
Meri L.

I came here with a friend for a late lunch/early dinner. We decided on sharing two appetizers; spinach artichoke dip and boneless wings; chipotle bbq flavor. Both were very good! The spinach dip came with pita bread and chips for dipping. It was ooey gooey cheesey good! The boneless wings were good too and had a nice flavor. Both were a great size for both of us to share and munch on. Service was good. We said we would come back and try more of the menu!

Patty P.

came in here for a girls date! Greeted & seated right away! All the staff were pleasant & friendly .... you can tell how they all worked together from the host to waiter to bus boys... all helping each other out! We got LILY ROSE as our drink & it was spot on! Then I asked for mojito which I didn't care for but waiter was attentive enough to notice & he replace it ... for another Lily rose! (Keep them coming pleaseeee!!!) We got the Thai calamari & it had tons of flavors, loved it! That Thai sauce was so good! I got the Cajun shrimp dirty rice & when I say they were not cheap with the shrimp, believe me! It had small shrimp within the rice and over 6 giant shrimps on top! All the flavors complimented the plate! It was an explosion of flavors for what looked like a small bowl (super deceiving! I was so stuff!!!) I love it... coming back for more!!! for sure!!! We had no room for dessert but maybe next time!

The Brixton is a beautiful restaurant with very relaxed and casual vibes. The word around town is that their drinks are awesome. What about their food, though? They originally would not seat us in the middle of the afternoon because most of the empty tables were reserved. We had to request to sit outside, which was empty, before they decided to serve us. Odd that they did not even offer that to us. The General Tso' Cauliflower was the only great thing served to us. It is incredibly crispy and flavorful. You almost forgot that you were eating a piece of vegetable at times. The Short Rib Brisket Sesame burger was shocking. $18 for two White Castles-sized sliders. It was easily consumed, and I was left much to be desired. This is most definitely an appetizer item, not an entree. The Chicken Waffle was good. Nicely deep-fried and packs a lot of flavor. The waffle looked dubious. If I had to guess, it might not be mad fresh to order. Essentially, it's 3 drumsticks/wings over a possibly frozen Eggo waffle. I would recommend a second dish if you are looking to get full. The Steak frites and Eggs Benedict were the final dishes served. It is hard to mess these dishes up, but the ribeye was nicely seasoned and cut up. The dishes were nicely displayed. Overall, this is just an OK experience. When the deep-fried cauliflower appetizer is the most memorable dish here, it is quite alarming. Portion sizes are on the small end, and none of the flavors for the entrees really stuck out. Perhaps I will come here strictly for the drinks next time.

If you find it a little loud, they have some high tops near the bar that are quieter and more private. We'll be back.

Food took about 30 minutes to come out, and we were literally the only ones in the place. My wife had digestion issues after eating. Also, the coffee cups are very small. We needed about 3 refills instead of 1 which we would normally get. Service 4/5. Our server was attentive, friendly, walked us through the menu without being pushy. He checked on us. Ambiance 2/5. Cozy spot, good music playing. But the chairs are metal with zero cushion, and there's a bar across the back of the chair that digs right into your back if you lean back at all, so you end up sitting forward the whole meal. First floor flooring looked dated too. Cleanliness 3/5. Floor on the first level wasn't that clean. Given the digestion issues afterward, makes you wonder what's going on back in the kitchen. Bathroom was fine though, passed a quick swipe test. Parking 3/5. There's lots nearby but it's a bit of a walk, and you cross a street that gets busy. Street parking exists if you can find a meter. Value 2/5. $50 with tip for two people. For the wait, the stomach issues, and those chairs, that felt like too much. Overall 2/5. Service was solid but it couldn't make up for the food problems and how uncomfortable the seating was. Not going back.

For a cocktail, I had an Old Fashioned made with Woodford Reserve. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Dubai Martini. The Au Poivre Sauce was on par with any steakhouse in NYC, the oysters tasted fresh caught, the Old Fashioned was magnificent with Bourbon Cherries, and the Dubai Martini (a dessert, not a cocktail) was rich and chocolatey. The food and drink are a little pricey for what you get, but that is the story with most restaurants these days. The crowd was a little noisy. It was hard to hear what the bartender was saying to sometimes, but that is just me, Gail B., usually having difficulty tuning out the restaurant/bar crowd.

Extremely Disappointed…read more I hosted my daughter's baby shower at The Piermont, and what should have been a wonderful morning started with us spending approximately 2 1/2 hours cleaning the venue ourselves. When we arrived, the room was already set, but the tablecloths throughout the room were stained and dirty, approximately 80 chairs were visibly dirty, and the bathrooms were not clean. We ended up finding cleaning supplies, scrubbing the chairs ourselves, changing linens and resetting tables before our guests arrived. I have numerous photos documenting the condition we found everything in. Victor, the maître d', arrived around 10:45, with the party starting at noon, and said the room was going to be cleaned when they arrived. Given the amount of cleaning required, I cannot imagine how that would have been accomplished in time had we not already spent hours doing it ourselves. I do want to recognize Jackie, who was lovely throughout the booking process, Josh, who tried his best to help us that morning, Jonathan, the GM, who came to address the situation, and our waitstaff, who were outstanding. Thanks to our decorating and everyone's efforts, my daughter's shower ultimately turned out beautiful. Unfortunately, my conversation afterward with the owner, Steve, made the situation even worse. He minimized my complaint as being about "dirty linens" and then accused me of "harassing his staff for two weeks," which I completely dispute. I expected concern and accountability--not accusations. This was my daughter's baby shower, a once-in-a-lifetime event. We paid for a professional venue; we should never have had to become the cleaning crew. A beautiful waterfront location does not make up for a lack of cleanliness, preparation and accountability.
