MoCA Asian Bistro in Woodbury takes elegant dining to another level. MoCA is an Asian fusion restaurant serving the freshest sushi along with excellent Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Southeast Asian dishes. The ambiance is great for a date night (a scene in Modern Love was filmed there) and it's also a great venue for upscale private events. MoCA is offering a $20 two-course lunch menu and a $42 three-course dinner menu this restaurant week. Standout menu items include the Thai red curry casserole, Mongolian skillet and of course, the sashimi special. MoCA’s sister location in Hewlett is also participating with the same deals and lunch/dinner menus.

Don Quijote in Miller Place

Don Quijote Restaurant is Miller Place's hidden gem. The Bandeja Tipicia, a Columbian cuisine staple consisting of marinated grilled sirloin steak, fried eggs, chorizo, sweet plantations and avocado, is spectacular and the Carne Asada Burrito (flour tortilla burrito stuffed with suckling meat and sweet plantations) is out of this world. It's nearly impossible to leave Don Quijote without knocking down a few of their margaritas or their homemade sangrias. That would be quixotic! The ambiance, with pictures of Mexican tribes and culture on the wall, sets the perfect vibe. If you love Latin American cuisine, be sure to dine at Don Quijote in Miller Place (or their sister location in Patchogue) during restaurant week. Both spots will be offering a $35 three-course dinner menu.

Babylon Carriage House
