Garden Grill in Smithtown is the perfect place for a wholesome, relaxing, fine dining experience.
This hidden gem will give you the look and feel of dining in someone's home. The quaint and carefully designed decor offers a romantic atmosphere even during the day. It makes the place the perfect venue for a date or impressive family gathering.
Lauren and I came in our usual Thursday night dinner slot and really enjoyed our entire experience.
We were greeted by a friendly waitress who introduced herself and placed warm bread and sundried tomato spread on the table.
While the tomato spread was tasty the same can't be said about the bread. Lauren and I both found it to be dry with a grainy texture and we didn't enjoy the taste.
To drink we each started with a tasteful glass of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc)which was delicious.
I started with a crisp garden salad appetizer with creamy garlic dressing which I really enjoyed.
After that it was time to dig in to the main courses.
Lauren had the prime rib with mashed potatoes, which she said was good.
I ordered the Sausage Cavatelli pasta, which I found to be delicious and unique.(It was also incredibly filling!)
For dessert, Lauren and I split a tartuffo. (Vanilla and chocolate ice cream in a hardened chocolate shell with raspberry in the middle) They presented this very nicely with whipped cream and chocolate sauce on the plate.
Lauren and I left feeling full and satisfied.
We also made sure we took a peek at the awesome "attic" type party room upstairs on our way out.
In short, The food was good, the service was good and the place is incredibly cozy.
That's why we gave Garden Grill 3.5 mints out of 5 on the dinner mint scale.
I must add that I have been here on Valentine's Day in years past and they really do a great job. Although more expensive, with a special menu, it's completely worth it for how special and memorable the experience is.
