    I thought this was a wonderful dinner. The wait staff was attentive and the service on point. The atmosphere and decor is quiet and tasteful. Here for a friend’s birthday. Fish was a little overdone, but I would still give you five stars. We had the Maui and the Salmon. Delicious salsas. Orange flan was perfect, and thanks fora GOOD cup of coffee

    Food was mediocre at best. Service was excellent. Tables are definitely too small for all the dishes they give you.

    We’ve been to Besito in Huntington and enjoyed and decided to try West Islip because it’s closer to us. My first reaction was how small and cramped it was. We were seated very close to two other tables also tables for two. The six of us could have had a conversation without shouting. To me this is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. That being said the service and food were excellent. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and hope they would do something about the cramped situation.

    The only problem we had was sitting at a very small table for 2. We realize it was Mother’s Day and just accepted it. Also I heard the waiter giving specials to the table next to us. We were never informed that there was specials. Otherwise, very good as usual.
