Stopped in on a Sunday for happy hour at the bar. Drinks were good, a little pricey but 25% off if we ordered food so a $17 drink was around $13. For me $13 is a normal drink price but the prices aren't listed on the bar menu so you get what you get. We ordered a couple of $10 dishes. Eggplant rollatini- it was salty but edible. My friends ordered a penne dish which i thought was very good and chicken parm which I didn't try. The bartender was very nice, gave us just enough attention and checked in periodically, the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, it is directly on the beach and if you sit at a table you are looking at the water. Even in the winter, it is a great view, probably better because you are not looking directly at people in bathing suits and beach umbrellas. I would go back for happy hour! read more

The service provided by Sam was outstanding! He was patient, offered suggestions and personable with everyone in our group. The restaurant is in a great location, right next to the beach! Great view! Easy access parking lot. They have a concession stand for quick bites and a dining room with a bar! You are definitely paying for the view! The Chianti and malbec wine are really good. I had the halibut it was descent! They do have a salad bar! They do offer happy hour from 3-6pm. I will try that next time with some appetizers. read more

La Casa Café Mother's day Brunch The food wasn't bad although limited in selections compared to other buffets. There were absolutely no vegetables in any of the entrees or otherwise and no salad. They limited groups to 1.5 hours and then you had to leave. We found this out when they slapped the check on the table after 1.25 hours. $52.95 for adults, $25.95 for children under 12. They actually charged for a 3 year old. I had called the night before to see if they added the tip automatically to the check as many restaurants do for groups. It was not indicated in their advertisement or on their website. I was told that the tip was definitely not added automatically. When we got the check, they had added what appeared to be a 22% tip. They not only added the tip, they calculated tip also on the sales tax. We had planned on a 15% tip (After all, this was a buffet), so this upped the total on the check by over $50! When I questioned the manager on the tip being calculated on the after tax total, he said it was a mistake and they had to fix that (in the computer). The waitress ran into the back to get my refund but she was never coming back. She finally came back after 10 minutes and handed me $12. So, the limited selections, limited time allowed, deception, miscalculation and misinformation on the tip policy were very dissatisfying with this venue. We will not be going back. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon for Happy Hour at the bar. Matthew our bartender was gracious and charming. The prices were excellent and the quality of the food served was even better. First class all the way. And the location right on the beach was truly amazing! read more

This place is popular in Northport mainly due to a lack of options. The ambiance help make up for the acceptable fodd.

If you are eating here, it is because of the location and that's it. The service was fine and it's a nice environment, but the food is so incredibly overpriced for what is it. I had the chicken francaise and it was awful. Soggy, dry, and bland. Super disappointed and absolutely would not return. read more

Not worth the time, Food was terrible and way too expensive. $29 for for the chicken marsala, which was wet and gross

Came here for a date during the "outdoor dining" era. There were tables under the pavilion with view of the beach, and then tables behind the pavilion with umbrellas. I'm sure these tables are here throughout the summer. When my friend, well, date, arrived our temperatures with a touch-less thermometer were taken prior to entering the restaurant where we had to place our order. We then placed our order at the bar inside the restaurant. You don't get a number or anything. You have to wait for your name to be called and then get your order from the window. So, it's outdoor dining without waiter service. While this system is okay...it has its flaws as depending on where you were able to get a table, you may not hear your name. On to the food... We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. Since it was "to-go" it got a little soggy in the take-out container as the steam wasn't able to "escape." It did have decent flavor, but I didn't get that "pull" that fresh mozzarella sticks have. The marinara sauce had good flavor. For my meal, I ordered linguini ala Bari. It was pasta tossed with calamari rings, clams, shrimp and scallops in a garlic type sauce. The seafood serving was very plentiful. The sauce was decent with a good amount of garlic. However...as I was eating I noticed (what I thought was chopped garlic), was actually a ton of congealed butter! Not a fan at all. Nobody wants to eat butter.... My date ordered shrimp fra diavolo. It looked very yummy. He did finish his dish, so I'm just going to go with it was delicious. For drinks....only crappy beers on tap. Coors, Bud Lite, Heineken...types like those. Not a fan at all. I ended up ordering a Piña colada...being on the beach I figured a frozen drink would be good being that I was not a fan of the beer offerings. The Piña colada was VERY sweet. All I tasted was sugar. Very overly sweet with a $13 price tag. Although they were good at taking temperatures prior to ordering and entering, tables were NOT sanitized between people eating/drinking. Tables also appeared to be less than 6 feet apart. The view is gorgeous. Food...just okay. However, I would come back to try the food without it being "take-out" style. read more

Ambiance is nice and view is great crab meadow beach always beautiful scenery and sunsets we had 2 big drinks at the bar and were very surprised when he said $48! Omg! Very heavy hit. But Matthew the bartender was very nice and attentive. The shrimp fra Diablo med isn't spicy enough and shrimp were big but over done unfortunately. The chicken cardinale was okay. The portions were definitely big . The salad bar and bread was fresh and yummy . We'd go back to eat it's reasonably priced but not drink they were way too expensive read more

To be honest it is not worth going here. Seems dirty and overpriced. I went here with expectations of a nice restaurant by the water but it is sad and gloomy. The waiter we had was nice but everyone else seemed tired and unhappy. read more

Service was great but there were a ton of flies inside the restaurant making for an unpleasant experience. As the only restaurant near the beach, it is extremely convenient but everything on the menu is significantly overpriced for pretty average food. The portions are quite large for one person but sharing comes with a fee. read more

5 stars food 5 Stars service 10 stars location. La Casa Cafe is an awesome place to melt away the winter blues with an amazingly fresh and tasty meal on a Sunday afternoon. I don't understand some complaints about slow service. With such a great location Overlooking Crab Meadow Beach and L.I. Sound, who cares if the service is a tad slow!!!! That just gives more time to sit back, enjoy your view, your meal with your significant other half, and maybe have an extra cocktail or dessert!! Now onto the food. My pasta with seafood bouillabaisse was one of the best seafood combos I ever had. All fresh, all tasty, nicely portioned. My other half's pasta primavera with a garlic/oil sauce was also delicious. Our service was excellent, Thank You Meghan for the great service and entree suggestion!! We're looking forward to returning. LaCasa is a great find!!! read more

What every park needs- A great place to eat without having to traverse the countryside looking for food with sandy feet. This little gem is located at the Crab Meadow Park and is a welcome addition to a day of sun and fun- not to mention a respite from the sun. The girls at the counter were friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and the quality of the food was excellent. Get pizza here as well as a beer or ice cream. Anything more involved, go inside by the bar and order any number of items that are sure to whet your appetite. Since we have a season pass for the Huntington beaches, we are sure to visit many times over this year and many to come. As an aside, we came to see the fireworks on the 4th- nice and relaxed beach seating with views of several shows in the area. Kids are sure to love it and you'll make friends with your neighbors as well! read more

Went for Easter brunch. What a disgrace, never again. Sat us where most of our table was cornered couldn't get up for buffet . Told them the issue and they didn't accommodate us when we were upset about seating. Food was very very bad and unenjoyable. Bill was $650 for what it was something I honestly could have pulled together and been more comfortable at home for $150 I couldn't be more disgusted with service and management for allowing this kind of buffet. Salad dressing in a squeeze bottle bitter and expired tasting I got so disgusted! Manager took my plate I was eating untoasted (no toaster or toasting option) bagel was still on the plate and manager took it without asking how rude! Was still eating the shitty bagel cos I was starving when I left! read more

Great view friendly staff. Food was good. Soup was cold and silverware and wine glass dirty. Will try again and hope they pay attention to these things read more

Good food with a great view. Seems to be a big local spot. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Been here a few times over the years and wanted to make sure they got a good review. Very family friendly pizza service area outside. Also a small outdoor bar to grab a drink to enjoy the sunset with. read more

Went here to celebrate an anniversary recently and it was absolutely amazing!! The views were great as it is directly on the beach! We sat inside and had a sit down meal, but there was an outdoor food window and even an outdoor bar that I'd definitely love to come back to for lunch in the future when hanging on the beach. The staff was nice with excellent service. I got the lobster ravioli and I highly recommend it. I was with a large group of people and everyone's food looked great and they all said it was delicious. They had fun specialty drinks too! Can't wait to come back here! read more

La Casa Cafe is in an ideal location at the Crab Meadow Beach in Northport. What a cute place it is. The bar is bustling and the employees are very nice. 1 star off for the slooowwww service. Food is pretty good for a beach restaurant. I ordered the seafood bouillabaisse and it was a little oily but very tasty! I suppose it was almost worth the 45 minute delay. Everyone else ordered burgers and they are still waiting for their food. read more

Had the personalized pizza. Was very good our waitress Ali was very nice. It was a good experience. read more

Great view!!! Can't say much else. Dated decor, service was just ok. My wife did not like her entree and sent it back, they charged us for the salad bar (very sad salad bar), we asked for the manager and no one came over, but they did take the salad bar charge off. As we were leaving, the owner started yelling at my wife and said "if you don't like my food, don't come back." There aren't a lot of restaurants on the water, but I think the next time we want to go to Crab Meadow for dinner, we will pick up a pizza at Nina's in Northport and eat on the beach! read more

The best part of LaCasa is the location. Waterview restaurants on the north shore are rare, this one overlooks a beach. The views during the day are spectacular. You can sit under a portico if you like, out of the sun. We came, eight of us, for Sunday afternoon dinner. We've been here before-we know what we like. Each ordered their favorites: Chicken Parm for me, Chicken Bruchetta for my bride & grandson. My mother-in-law, who will be 101 in Sept, devoured mussels & lobster, others had shrimp& scallops or lobster ravioli...We drank, we ate.. The service was prompt and friendly, but not overbearing. I'm sure the bill was as healthy as the portions, we all took home doggy bags and it was just as good the next day. (It wasn't 't my turn to get the bill). We love it there. It was great! Happy it's back. We shall return. read more

What a fabulous location for a restaurant facing the beach. There are outdoor tables for people taking a break from the beach for a drink and a snack or indoor dining to enjoy a window view without the heat of the sun. Other than that, the food is average and the service is good. read more

We were there last night and decided to eat outside. Food was good but we felt like we were at a ROCK CONCERT. The music was too loud to have a conversation at our table. Apparently all the young staff loved the music. The waitress was doing twirls as she was passing by our table. Please lower the music so we can return and enjoy the ambience outdoors. read more

Great summer location. Food is good and the service is good. I like it for the beach atmosphere.

Very disappointing. The main dishes were no frills. I ordered chicken Francais. No garnish and watery just a messy yellowish mess. the service was slow. The waiters looked unwashed. The general ambience of the place was of dirt. Everything and every server needed a good scrub down. the cheap Dollar store cutlery had dried food stuck on it. It did not justify the high end prices. They added a 3.25% surcharge to paying by credit card. I wish I could give 0 stars but that's not a choice! I would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

When you are heading to Crab Meadow Beach for the day and are too lazy to pack a picnic, La Casa is right there to offer a solid, satisfying beach pizza pie and a glass of wine. If you have a table with a number, there's waitress service and a larger menu (and inside). read more

Service is great: everyone was friendly, accommodating, and helpful; ambiance outdoors by the water is lovely; food is good

Great view of the beach and nice ambiance. Huge plates of Italian food, more than most people can eat at one meal. But what good is that when they don't have any gluten-free alternatives. They don't even offer gluten-free pasta to go with their red sauce menu? What that means is that we can't any longer have family celebratory dinners there and that's a shame. And shame on them for not catering to the increasing percentage of their customers with gluten & digestive issues! read more

Great Restaurant Mywife and i been coming here for years. The perfect date. Great Restaurant and view

My favorite pizza in the area. Can't speak to the rest of menu. Specialty pizzas like penne a la vodka and eggplant parm are solid choices.

The owners of this place are CHEAP. Your server will give you the bill and then ad a 3% "Admin fee" (aka a revenue generating nothing extra made up charge) to your total cost and not tell you until after they run your card. The food is not so good that it's worth hidden fees. Bring your own lunch to the beach or these people won't stop read more

Not sure why all the negative reviews. I just had dinner there with two friends and two kids. All of our portions were huge. I had penne alla vodka which was excellent. My friend had penne with mozarella and spinach also excellent. Her daughter had the lasagna also huge and excellent. Service was great. Would recommend read more

Pretty good place on the beach, great service, and the view is nice a casual atmosphere. Only has a burger and fries here but the did it right was juicy and tasty, fries were coated with seasoning and was crunchy outside a soft creamy inside. Decor is the only lacking it needs and up grade but still pretty cozy and comfortable. would return again to try for dinner. read more

Went for Easter brunch with my girlfriends family this morning, was my first time ever going and I was beyond let down. The brunch buffet was cold, the food was almost inedible. We had a rather large party and they crammed another party right next to us so we literally could not even back away from the table without hitting the back of the other party. We had asked to speak to the manager but the manager never came out. I will never be back. Shame read more

Wow what's better than eating outside at the beach This Restuarant is situated right on the boardwalk of crab meadow beach Parking is free if your going to the Restuarant which allows you access to the beach So I sat down at a table outside and ordered up a margarita Menu ranged from a wrap to swordfish Since it was lunch we ordered wraps which weren't expensive but more than enough food to fill you up The waitress was young and very nice She never rushed us intact the food came out at an acceptable timeframe and she never pushed us along This was just a nice relaxing Kaye's back experience Afterwards we walked up and down the boardwalk and took on the day and the energy of the beach Crab meadow is a family friendly place with a cafe a Restuarant a playground for the young kids to hang around on What a great vibe for an afternoon This is a place all need to encounter read more

Went here for date night with my wife. Great location but the food was bland and expensive and very disappointing. I had the stuffed jumbo shrimp which was bland. My wife had the clam sauce over pasta which was small watery and bland as well. The salad bar Is included with entree but small and the bread was even good. I will say for where it is it has great potential but unless I see better reviews we will not return. Just to let you know each entree is in the thirty dollar range. read more

Went here today for my best friends birthday...& all the rules applied face mask sd ...it was beautiful day.So my BFF needed a more flat opened chair bc outdoors there were just those cheap white plastic chairs. So I asked for a different chair and as told no no other types of chairs were available, and then I saw it ..a beautiful dining room chair! So I asked for this chair and was told , no it's not possible!!!! So I am a consumer with a mindset to get what I want/ need ...by doing all I possibly can! So I made a call to this restaurant while standing outside and asked for the owner..."Joe"..Who actually did say no...? ! Well I mentioned I was leaving if I couldn't get this chair which we were gong to ..that's how important this was to my friend bc it meant comfort ...while dining. Ok so Joe went into some story about how much it cost to Clean his restaurant blah blah blah...really? Just give me that chair !! So easy to resolve this whole damn issue.....so we got the chair. I appreciated this I told him which I really really did. BUT my order of eggplant parm w/o the parm was soo tasteless as my friends was too .big disappointment!!!!! So I'm done. And my eggplant had a freezer burn after taste and today When I was eating my leftovers it was sour! Not happy.... read more

Basically the only restaurant/cafe located right at this lovely and pristine beach front, one would have rather low expectations. The restaurant consists of two major portions. One is the traditional concession stand style window with pizza, snacks, ice cream and other various common beach treats. The other is the actual restaurant itself. Surprisingly delicious Italian food can be had here. It's very typical of American Italian home cooking when it comes to their offerings. Most of the pasta meals come with a unlimited access to their bread and salad bar. Unlike the similar offering at Olive Garden the salad and bread here look amazing fresh and actually are. The pasta dishes I tried were all made with perfect flavoring. The penne I had was cooked to a perfect al dente. There's also outdoor seating available for both waitstaff service as well as none. Decently close enough to Manhattan to make it a nice one day getaway trip. So when you're out here enjoying the sandy beach with clear views, make sure you give this place a shot as well. read more

A big portion of the 4 star review is the location. It is absolutely stunning to get a sunset here on a nice summer day. There is also a rooftop. The restaurant doesnt own the rooftop, its owned. by the city. There is really no one monitoring it up there. To get up there during a sunset with a nice drink is beautiful. As for the restaurant: the service was great. The people were very friendly. The meals come with a salad bar. The salad bar is kind of lackluster. It could definitely use some sprucing up and additions. As for the meal, we got two types of pasta. The pasta with the pink sauce and chicken was pretty good. The other pasta with the veggies and grilled chicken needs help. Its very bland. It has the possibility of becoming a great healthy option if it had some seasoning and flavor. Overall, i would come back here for the view more than the food, but the food isnt terrible. Its just not phenomenal. read more
