Sctavern - East Patchogue

Great Place! Terrific service, live jazz every Sunday for brunch, excellent food... Check out this special **** Mary (note you have to ask them to make it this way and they do!!! Great way to start the day!

Excellent food and music! We had the deconstructed lobster roll and the prime rib sliders. Peach raspberry sangria was perfect for a summer night.

One of my main concerns is the inconsistency in the dishes. I've never received the same item prepared the same way twice, leading to a lot of variability in the dining experience. For instance, the Reuben sandwiches often arrive with soggy bread and very little coleslaw, and the mussels in wine sauce taste different each time I order them. In particular, the garlic taste can be burnt and bitter. The first time I tried the mussels before they closed, they were excellent—served with buttery crostini that were sweet and toasty. However, since reopening, the crostini portions have shrunk, and sometimes they forget to include them in takeout orders. On my last visit, I received the mussels in a wet paper shopping bag, which ended in a spill in the parking lot. It's disappointing to see a lack of attention to detail, especially when the prices suggest a high-quality experience. The food, while good, doesn’t quite match those expectations. This place has such potential to be truly great, rather than just okay. There’s definitely room for improvement, and I would genuinely like to see it happen instead of the opposite. We still dine there and order takeout, but our expectations have lowered. It's unfortunate because this could be an outstanding neighborhood bistro. I remain hopeful for improvements, and I'm curious to see what the future holds.

I believe there has been a recent change, and unfortunately, it's not for the better. I'm not sure if the chef has changed, but the dish I order frequently was prepared differently this time. The service was just average, even in an empty restaurant. I'm disappointed to say that I'll be taking a break for a while. I really hope they make improvements, as I enjoy the location and have loved the food in the past.

We stopped in for an early Sunday dinner, and the food was fantastic! My wife had the butternut squash soup and fish tacos, while I enjoyed a shrimp cocktail and a New York strip steak. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Olivia, was very friendly as well.
