The atmosphere is awesome with famous work all over the place inside and outside. I noticed they were using local farmed produce, meats, and seafood. If you like pork I must recommend the SISIG it is so delicious!!Parking: The train stop is directly across the street from the place with free municipal parking.Kid-friendliness: Very cool for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a big ramp for wheelchairs.

Wife runs the cafe, husband is an artist, MarcoArt and his artwork decorates the cafe. He also sells his artwork in a truck by the parking lot. They have a small menu including sandwiches, baked goods, coffee and tea. I had a cappuccino to go with my cider donuts from BHF. They don't mind if you bring in food from next door. They gave us a Portuguese custard on the house. It was so good, I'm going back for another one next week. We also picked up a scone for breakfast tomorrow. There's some crafts for sale. One of the few small shops open during the winter in this area.

We decided to share the Bang Bang shrimp, which was both delicious and full of flavor. My mom was in the mood for pasta, and the chef recommended a cilantro pasta with grilled chicken, which was reminiscent of cilantro pesto—so tasty! However, she thought the chicken could have used a bit more spice. I ordered beef served over yellow rice, and it was simply delicious and packed with flavor. I would love to know their marinade recipe! Beyond the great food, the whole experience felt special and unique. We were treated like family, and we will definitely return! Mattituck could use more diverse dining options. Although I’ve never tried Filipino cuisine before, I found it to be very enjoyable and satisfying!

I ordered fish and chips to share with a friend, but was charged for two meals plus an extra order of fries. What we received was definitely just one portion, and a small one at that. When I asked for tartar sauce, they didn’t have any, and when I requested vinegar, I was given balsamic instead. It seems like they could benefit from learning more about this classic English dish. Although the waiter corrected the bill, he did so with quite a bit of attitude. The dining room was very dark and had flashing strobe lights, which may pose a risk for those susceptible to seizures. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be returning.
