Chachama GrillRecommended by a friendThe friend was more than right. This place is fabulous. Extended restaurant week menu was tempting, but offers on regular a la carte menu couldn't be passed up. Standouts include ceviche, rack of lamb, appetizers were excellent. Don't miss the leek blue cheese ravioli. Real value in wine list with wide selection, quality emphasized over quantity. Intelligent and perceptive service was not intrusive but on top of things throughout entire meal. Deserts were special, delicious and varied. Definitely will be back.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable!Food, service and ambience pleasantly surprising for such an unassuming location. Worth the trip from the Hamptons!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAs opposed to many other restaurantAs opposed to many other restaurants in the area, Chachama grill's emphasis is on Quality, rather than quantity. This does not mean to say that the quantity is lacking, rather that it just seems ideal, while the quality of the food is always excellent. Not sure how many times we have eaten here, but we have never had any complaint, nor have we been dissatisfied with any aspect of the meals or service.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were welcomed back andWe were welcomed back and received wonderful service.

Rack of Lamb was cooked perfectly. Don't be put off by the strip mall location. Fine dining.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant has been oneThis restaurant has been one of our favorites for a number of years! Although unassuming on the outside (as it's situated in a shopping plaza), once inside you are transported to a softly-lit, tastefully-decorated room where both the small, but more than adequate, bar and the intimate dining area are located. You are warmly greeted by a gracious hostess who treats you like a member of her family and goes out of her way to ensure that you are having the best possible dining experience. The wait staff is attentive, engaging, and knowledgeable. The food is consistently delicious and innovative; the meals are always beautifully prepared and presented. We look forward to our next visit!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat seasonal food with excellentGreat seasonal food with excellent service.

Kudos to Chef Elmer Rubio.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time at ChachamaIt was our first time at Chachama Grill, and we loved it! The restaurant is certainly a neighborhood gem, hidden in a mundane plaza in East Patchogue. Form the moment we walked in the door, we felt special. We arrived early in order to have a drink at the bar. The bar was not crazy-busy and we were able to enjoy a drink before dinner. Once seated, we realized how small and intimate the place really is. It was a welcome change from the noisy, crowded restaurants we usually go to with hundreds of people around us. The food was excellent. The portions are just right and the presentation was superb. The Oysters Rubio (named after the chef) are to die for! It's a bit pricey but the fact that it's tough to get a reservation speaks for itself.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and wine was great. NiceFood and wine was great. Nice soft music in the background. Great place for a couple or small group of adults. Not a place for your kids.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food and presentationExcellent food and presentation - this Chef is phenomenal.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDon't miss this one!One of South Shores best kept secrets. I would have never found the place, or gone in for that matter, except for the recommendation of some foodie friends whom I totally respect. It is located in a not-so -new shopping center so you might overlook it. DON'T!! It's one of the best restaurants around. The food and service are excellent and the prices are more than fair. We can't wait to go back.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
