Mrs. Guido's 2 cents:
We tried this place last year in late spring/early summer because we had heard it was owned by the same people who own Pasta Pasta in Port Jeff, and had a more varied menu. Plus, its Sayville location made for a nice summer evening stroll as well. Overall the dining experience was pleasant. We received a table right away, a cute little table for 2 hidden in a nook by the bar. The menu has a wide variety of appetizers, salads, burgers, chicken, pasta, seafood, and meat dishes to choose from. We opted to start out with mozzarella sticks, which were tasty but standard. The menu did not state that entrees come with salad, so we were surprised when the waitresse asked what dressing we wanted. Had we known, we would not have ordered the appetizer, because we didn't end up having room for dessert. This was disappointing, because there was a Chocolate Chambord Truffle I was looking forward to all week. For my entree, I chose the Chicken Balsamic, which was sauteed chicken breasts served over spinach with mushrooms and sundried tomatos in a balsamic glaze. It was tasty, but the stewed tomatos left a tart aftertaste and made the tangy place just below your ears start acting up. To wash down the dinner, I had a Pama Martini, which was featured on the drink special menu. Beware of drink menus with no prices; there is usually good reason for this. Luckily, the drink was served in a large glass, which made the hefty price tag a little more palatable. Poor Mr. Guido. In a nutshll, Cafe Joelle is a cute place with good food, and must do very well with the locals. It is fairly expensive for what it is, and I don't know if we would actively go out of our way to go there again as our main destination. However, summer is approaching, so if we feel like a walk in a new town, we may be back for that truffle.
