I will be on Long Island (Brookhaven) for two weeks for work.
Project manager just booked us at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ronkonkoma, NY.
Mostly looking for Restaurant recommendations as that is pretty much all there will be time for, and we will be looking for a new place every night. But we will also be there over the weekend if you have a recommendation for things to see/do.
Thanks in advance.
As far as restaurants, You have in Tellers in Islip. Very good, but very expensive. http://tellerschophouse.com/
Crickets in Sayille. My wife go there just about every Saturday for lunch. http://www.cricketssayville.com/Crickets/
If I think of anything else I will let you know.
If you are willing to venture out a little bit, as the poster said above, Tellers is great and there a few restaurants on the South Shore on the water, Lombardi’s on the bay in Patchogue that has some great views.
Mama Lombardi’s - ( New Window )
Right next to Paces in the shopping center is Kotobuki if you are looking Sushi. Unfortunately, they don’t take reservations, so you might have to wait depending on what time you go.
Pace’s - ( New Window )
Mixed fare is usually best as there are 3 of us from work going, and i don't know everyone's taste. I tend to like the brewery's and local organic fare type places, but lots of the guys i work with only want applebee's type. Something where they know what to expect.
Any local specialties, If i was in Maryland I'd seek out crabcakes, or Rochester I'd look for the best Beef on Weck, or Tampa the best Cuban Sandwich etc...
Karvers in Holbrook (Probably my favorite place for good beer / pub type food).
Insignia in Smithtown (Awesome) - Steakhouse / Sushi
Flanigans in Ronkonkoma (See Karvers above but a small step down).
Stella's in Blue Point - Italian
Alot of places in Patchogue if you feel like driving 10 minutes - Perabell, Brickhouse Brewery, Harbor Crab for seafood and water views, etc.
Smokey Bones is a big step up from Applebees.
Mexican Viva La Vida in Oakdale is great.
360 Sushi in Patchogue.....actually plenty of bar types and different variety if willing to take a 15 minute ride into Patchogue.

If you like breweries...try Brickhous Brewery on Main Street in Patchogue. Plus the food is pretty good. If it’s still on tap, street light is a good ale.
BrickHouse Brewery - ( New Window )
Absolutely a must if you can do it...only open during breakfast/lunch time...but be aware this is a cash only establishment.
Snapper Inn (Oakdale)
Pasta Pasta (Port Jefferson)
Pentimento (Stony Brook)
