We've been several times, and keep returning because the food, ambiance, and service all are so satisfying. It's a great spot for dinner before a concert at the Patchogue Theatre, which is only a two-block walk away.

Never disappoints. I’ve become a regular now because it’s so good especially the desserts. There’s always a few good specials along with regulars. The crème brûlée is out of this world.
