I'm having my wedding in Oakdale, but am from the Stony Brook/Port Jeff area. I'm trying to find a rehearsal dinner spot. I'm willing to do either location -- or somewhere in b/n. Although, I am leaning toward the SB Port Jeff area bc I think that is where guests will be staying. Any ideas? Looking for nice, but not too pricey. Thanks!!

Re: rehearsal dinner spots in suffolk
I am actually thinking of La Famiglia too! Anyone been to a RD there before?? Going there this week to try the food.
Not sure about Pt Jeff, but in Hauppauge, I've been to Butterfields for a RD which was delicious.

I looked around Port Jeff a lot and finally decided on Pace's: Pace's
Pasta Pasta is also great and their catering menu is on their website: Pasta-Pasta
Good luck!

i love the food at la famiglia- but it can be noisy and the room is to the side, they dont necessarily block it off, yet who would want to sit there with a party there??? thats what they told me ..the owner is really nice and they will do a price fix for you! hope you enjoy it

I would have to say Pasta, Pasta in Port Jefferson. My fiance and I went there for his birthday. It is so wonderful. Everything is great.

I had my shower and rehearsal dinner at Mario's on 25A in East Setauket, the atmosphere is great, not too big, the food is great, and the portions are big! They staff was great, and we paid $16.95 pp. Good luck!

I am having mine at The Riverview. I also went to The Snapper Inn, Shandon Court and Irish Coffee Pub. I REALLY wanted it at The Gatsby, but FFIL wouldn't go for it. It was too $$ for one of the 'better' menus they offered.

We had ours at the Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue. It was perfect for us, we had a separate room and separate bathrooms and the food was really good. The cake was better than my wedding cake.

Re: rehearsal dinner spots in suffolk
Our guests will be staying in the same area as yours...
the places that Im going to research are:
Three Village Inn (we had our e-party here, the food was amazing!!!)
Pasta Pasta
Orlandos (Smithtown/St James)
Amici's (Mt Sinai)
Danfords (that is where I blocked hotel rooms)
Ruby's (Pt Jeff)
we eat all the time at the 3 Village Inn, pasta pasta, orlandos and amicis... so i know for a fact those are all delicious!!

Re: rehearsal dinner spots in suffolk
If you want a fun place as well as good food, I am having mine at Blue Honu in Huntington.. I had my engagement party there... SO MUCH FUN.. We had a cocktail party instead of a boring sit down dinner, DJ, etc...

Greenfields- Farmingdale
I've been to a lot of these places...
Vintage in St. James is good (but usual steak house $$).
Burke and Shapiro is a below average steak house in my opinion.
Cafe Rustica in Smithtown is alright- nice ambiance, but I've had much better food.
Cafe La Strada has excellent food and very nice/ professional staff.
Mirabelle in St. James is always ranked one of the best french restaurants on LI- VERY good, but probably more per head than most weddings.
Garden Grill in Smithtown- I had never been there before but my BMs threw my shower there. The food was good, staff was nice, and room was very cute.
H20 in Smithtown- went once, never again (on purpose)
Bella Vita in St. James- it's alright. it's one of my best friend's favorite restaurants, but I never really cared for it.
Pasta Pasta in Port Jeff is excellent- but small, so it depends how many people you're having.
La Casa in Centerport- yuck.
Hope that helps a bit.

Re: rehearsal dinner spots in suffolk
i second danfords - 25 east has great food
the sea basin ( in rocky point ) has fantastic food too - that is where we had ours - they arent expensive either and have a seperate room upstairs that can accommodate quite a large party
if you like italian how about colucci's they have seperate rooms too -they are on north country road just a couple of mins from 112
