What’s Cookin? Smithtown – By Nancy Vallarella
A great big helping of customer satisfaction and service!
The first Smithtown restaurants to help launch our new culinary column are innovators that are always customer oriented. They offer the best quality food; value and service to our community are at the top of their priority lists.
The Seaqua Deli of St. James serves up an extensive breakfast menu, countless gourmet sandwiches, wraps, grilled items, a chopped salad bar and daily specials that include homemade soups and hot dinners. I know for a fact they are a popular go to resource for many busy households and local business, including the kitchen staff of many local restaurants! Great food and friendly service are always available but the goodness doesn’t stop there. Daily specials are posted via facebook. Orders are currently taken in person, by phone, fax and now…by text! Text your Sequa Deli orders to 631-682-8495.
Butera’s of Smithtown has become the star of family dining. Christenings, Communions, Confirmations, Bridal and Baby Showers are easily accommodated for everyone’s tastes and needs. Everyday dining menu selections are offered as individual and family style servings. Pasta and sandwich lunch entrees are available for $10 and kids eat for free (from the kids menu) with the purchase of an adult entrée. Bye-bye fast food drive thru. It’s no surprise that Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days here. What’s new? - Reservations can now be made through Open Table or Butera’s web site.
Faradays of Smithtown is an iconic Main Street establishment. Current owner’s Tom and Claudia have been at the helm for nearly twenty years and have worked here for several more! Pride in ownership and reaching out to the community are as visible as the mouthwatering Continental cuisine served here. Late night dining, daily drink specials, 4 Course Price Fix Menu offered Mon. – Thurs. for $18.95, outdoor dining and CRAFT BEER WEEK until May 20th. Check out their web site for $20 off check promotion!
