Didn't the owner just retire and sell (that's how I remember it)? The bottom line for the Smokehouse was that the food wasn't very good. I went there twice and was disappointed both times. I believe that I've heard Taste is owned by the same guys who own Cafe Joelle and Pasta Pasta in Port Jeff, so the food quality shouldn't be an issue. If you've ever been to Paris or Montreal, you know that a really good fondue place can be divine, so I'm really looking forward to them re-opening. I know a few people who've gone into the restaurant business, and it is a bit puzzling that both Smokehouse and Taste seem to be spending a lot of money on refurbishing before opening. I know the liquor license can take a while, and that usually explains the delay, but it must be tough to start a new business by sinking thousands into decor before the doors ever open...

First of all, it's in a lousy location (off the "beaten path" aka. downtown Sayville). Secondly, the last two places that were in its space didn't last. Lastly, the sign has been up for quite a while with no activity...people who want to eat out don't want to wait months for a place to open.

Not to knock all the people and things there as there are many fine people to be found everywhere. I hope this is a food establishment but no offense Long Island in general is a wasteland of food, nothing that great, although I am spoiled living in LA now and I can have anything I can dream of from a place that is run by the people whose culture originated the food 1st hand, not diluted down for our american tastes, I love going in and pointing at menu #'s because they dont understand a lick of english but boy can they cook. Although a place like that in Sayville I fear would never survive because of the lack of Taste and a little thing called tolerance that simply is dying.

The thick kind that doesn't have to be refilled so often. So how 'bout them Yankees? I’ll bet they use real ketchup. The thick kind that doesn’t have to be refilled so often.

So how ’bout them Yankees?
