Have been to other Anthony Scotto restaurants and they have been consistently good however unfortunately Insignia didn't meet the standard... had a Tomahawk steak expecting it to be amazing but it must have been a bad cut, filet and apps were mediocre, bacon was overflamed, dessert was nothing special. Didn't want to say anything since we were celebrating my son's bday -did not want to dampen the mood and tried to make the best out of it. Taking an L on this one, certainly wouldn't drive out from nassau again to visit.

Food and ambiance was good but Service was slow when we visited. It could be that one waiter- he disappeared for long periods of time, which delayed everything.

I’ve ordered the Australian Wagyu Ribeye the past seven times I’ve dined at Insignia, and it has always been exceptional. However, I’m sad and disappointed to say that this time was shockingly subpar and fell far below my expectations. It was, unfortunately, one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. The steak lacked seasoning entirely, was tough, and tasted plain—completely unacceptable for a $98 dish. For the first time in my life, I felt compelled to complain to a waiter. I’m hoping this was just an isolated incident, but I’m hesitant to give it another chance. To be fair, the other dishes, service, and atmosphere were 3-5 stars.

If you’re looking for someplace to go for a special occasion or to treat yourself to an amazing meal and experience Insignia will deliver. My boyfriend and I celebrates our anniversary last night and everything was amazing, the food, service and atmosphere. We’ve eaten at a lot of really nice restaurants and none of them compare to Insignia. We got a bunch of apps and a roll from the specials menu. For our entrees we of course had to get steak which was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back soon!

The place is beautiful, my experience with the place not good. I ordered fish on dec 31 I got sick from it not being fresh, I left two emails and a message for the manager and no return call.. I would never recommend this place or ever go back.. the filet was so tuff.. I had to place my whole order at once bc the place was so busy, yet my food was bad and not even a call back.. the young girl who answered was not pleasant.. horrible!!!

Highly reccomend this place. Went there for my birthday with my nephew. We got the Tomahawk Steak ! They bring it out and use a small katana to cut it up. They even offered to have me and my nephew take a pic with him holding the steak and me the Samuri sword. The steak was cooked to perfection and truly delicious. We got the smoked bacon as an appetizer and they also had a nice display where they torched it in front of us before serving it. This appetizer was like heaven in your mouth. All the staff were extremely talented , courteous and kind. Our Waitress Brooke was simply the best ! Extremely knowledgeable of the entire menu, how things are prepared , the ingredients etc. Super patient, sweet and extremely accommodating. I even asked to take the steak bone home to my dog and she made sure that happened and I got it wrapped up in foil in a doggy bag lol. The atmosphere and the whole experience was top notch !!! Will definitely be back again !

As with all Scotto brothers restaurants, the ambiance and service are great. What a beautiful restaurant. However, as with all scotto restaurants, the quality of the food is lacking and when considering the cost, the value proposition is terrible. You can get a much better meal for less money in many other restaurants on long Island. Scotto believes in exuding an ultra premium vibe through beautiful ambiance, I just wish they spent their efforts ensuring they are serving food at a quality level equal to their ultra premium price. You won't have a bad meal but it is nothing to rave about. Save your money and head somewhere else. You're welcome

We went for a retirement dinner and the service and quality was implacable. We had about 20 people with us and the waitress we had was untouchable from any service I’ve ever experienced. Food was too notch. Highly recommend. Petite Fitlet with Crab lump was cooked perfectly. Seafood tower was also incredible.

First time here. Had a group of 10 for a 9pm reservation. Our waiter was great...friendly, attentive, and quick to get us whatever we wanted.

We had calamari, burrata, ricotta stuffed gnocchi, salad for appetizers. They were all amazing.

For dinner my wife and I had the tomahawk special...was cooked exactly to our liking and was SO good it had me eating off the bone to make sure nothing was missed! Our friends had a mix of skirt steak and ribeyes. Everyone enjoyed their steaks and wiped the plates clean.

For desserts, they brought out a couple plates mixed with this amazing cookie with ice cream on top, this chocolate mousse cake which was also sooo good and a couple others which I can't remember right now 😋

All in all, I'd go back there again for round two 😁

After dining elsewhere last night (Saturday) for my birthday, we stopped here to have a drink on way home around 9:30 as we live close by. There were still people in dining room and bar. I sat at bar and several people were behind bar. A female bartender with terrible attitude came over after a couple of minutes and I told her I was waiting for my husband to come out of bathroom. She rolled her eyes, so I just ordered the drinks anyway. My husband saw her nasty face toward me when he came out of bathroom and we cancelled drink order and left and went elsewhere. Obviously she was annoyed we were there. We went elsewhere and were greeted with smiles. Will never return.

The most overpriced, under seasoned meal I've had in my life. My skirt steak came out cold. The wings had no flavor and the sushi was falling apart. This is a low quality, sad excuse for a fancy restaurant trying to scam Long Islanders into thinking this is what sushi / steak should be.

The image is what you get when you order a steak. Just a slab of room temp meat. No garnish, no attempt at plating. $75.

Last night marked my third visit to Insignia. Our waiter was excellent—attentive to my family, great with my children.

However, the food was disappointing. Unlike the other times before. It wasn't served hot, and the side dishes were lukewarm at best. The crème brûlée we ordered was cold and watery. The lamb chops lacked flavor, and my mother-in-law's chicken was dry. While the food looked great in pictures, it fell short on taste. The mac and cheese, which tasted more like Alfredo sauce, was not enjoyable, especially for my kids who didn’t like it.

I hope issue’s can addresses because the service was otherwise commendable.

Reminds me of Mortons in the 90's. Great steak but has plenty of other options. Sides are big and sharable. Service is as good as it gets. One diner asked to have their steak cooked a little more. After getting it back the manager came to the table to see if everything was good and said he was taking the steak off the bill. We said not necessary but he insisted. We added that credit to the tip because the service was that good. Higher priced but not much higher. Well worth it.

They were attentive, kind and made sure no details were missed. Most people have things that went wrong on their wedding day.. not us. Everything went off perfectly. We had high praises on everything from the food to the drinks to the venue. I cannot stop raving about them and how everyone should have there wedding at Insignia.

There is valet parking and you will be able to choose to dine in or outdoors, either one contains a nice decor. If you like sushi and you like coconut, try their Coconut sushi. Its crunchy and sweet, very delicious. I wasn't a fan of their strawberry sushi. Who knew hashbrowns are not just for breakfast! That was delicious! Unforutanely I was disappointed with the Sword fish. It was bland under cooked. Now the Filet Mignon was worth every bite, along with my favorite Ribeye. For drinks the choice was a Coconut martini , and a sip of thier Saki ! Very delicious.
Remembered the best place is where your taste buds take you.

It’s a nice place but the bartenders seem to always be drunk and on their phones. They do not pay attention to customers, forget to put in your food orders and are sipping drinks while working.

It was my fiancé and I second time coming to insignia for dinner.. The food is always excellent as well as the atmosphere. But this time we went, the service was not great. Our servers name was stephen who went by steve.. The second we got there he looked angry that he had a table of two young people and assumed that we weren’t probably gonna be spending a lot. Our bill was $200 and I got drinks as well as entrées. We felt very rushed and that he wanted us out of there as quick as possible so he could get a table with more people. He brought us the check without us, even asking for it. He also didnt ask how many oz of wine i wanted or if i liked my espresso martini with baileys or not. I just felt like if we are spending A decent amount of money we shouldn’t be rushed out of somewhere. We still tipped over 20% because that is the Right thing to do. But other than feeling rushed out of there, the food was amazing. The management was so sweet. And the atmosphere was amazing. Steve was also very nice but definitely couldn't fully enjoy ourselves because we felt like a burden and felt rushed.

Got married here and have had all our wedding anniversary dinners here. Last time was a bit of a disappointment as they served us a burnt tomahawk steak. Everything else was delicious, iberico tacos, seared scallops, truffle parm fries, and the rest of the sides, but the taste of charcoal on the steak was just ruining the dinner. If it wasn’t for the dipping sauce they give you, it would have been too overpowered by the flavor of a charred steak to eat. Was my favorite steak to get until this last visit. Service was amazing as usual.

I went in to get my order and they didn't pay attention to me, then while I was waiting there another lady came in and without asking me what I wanted or why I was there she asked the lady behind me what she wanted. I guess they didn't like my appearance or the way I dressed. No matter how much money you have or how fancy your restaurant is if you are not a human being, you can't make a human being with your money. Instead of judging people by their appearance, try being polite. I may not be American but America is full of people from all over the world and I thought things like racism didn't exist in America until today. Your food can be delicious, instead of making the food delicious, treat people like humans without judging their appearance.

This was a staple for years in Suffolk and still may be to some - to start, the drinks are amazing - yes. Getting to the food, grilled octopus was our starter… I kid you not, this resembled chicken sausage. No suckers on the tentacles, well well done. I’ve never ever seen that before..

Now the steak - this is a steakhouse right? I ordered a porter house for 2, medium. This came out well done. Barely any pink. Mac and cheese was OK, and the star of the show / onion rings - actually very solid lol. But I didn’t come here for Onion rings, my date ordered those… Guys, what has happened in the past few years??

Do yourself a solid - Osteria umbra down the road, h20, paces, etc. All great and local, or if you want to give the Scottos your money just go to Blackstones.

Insignia Prime Steakhouse & Sushi is a renowned dining establishment located in Smithtown, New York. It's part of the Anthony Scotto Restaurant Group, known for creating upscale dining experiences. The restaurant, which opened in 2011, blends traditional steakhouse offerings with high-quality sushi, catering to a broad clientele that enjoys both classic American steakhouse dishes and fine Japanese cuisine.

The concept of combining a steakhouse with a sushi bar is relatively modern, reflecting contemporary dining trends that embrace fusion cuisine. Insignia's menu is designed to cater to both steak lovers and sushi aficionados, offering a diverse range of options that include premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and innovative sushi rolls.

The restaurant's elegant atmosphere, marked by its sophisticated interior design, spacious dining areas, and luxurious ambiance, quickly made it a popular destination for special occasions, business dinners, and upscale social gatherings. Over the years, Insignia has maintained a strong reputation for its high-quality food, exceptional service, and the unique dining experience it offers, blending the best of both steakhouse and sushi traditions.

At Insignia Prime Steak and Sushi, my evening began with a vibrant Insignia Lemonade, a cocktail composed of LIV Vodka, natural strawberry lemonade, and a Chambord liqueur floater—a refreshing prelude to what was to come.

A promising start arrived in the form of sliced bread, accompanied by room-temperature butter and a side of marinara sauce. The quality of the bread often sets the tone for the rest of the meal, and this was no exception.

The roasted corn and crab bisque followed, a luxurious concoction that was rich and creamy, delivering on its promise of indulgence.

One of the evening’s highlights was the Wagyu beef, seared tableside on a hot lava stone, and paired with a sweet soy dipping sauce. The presentation was as engaging as the flavors, offering a memorable sensory experience.

For the main course, I opted for the large assorted sushi platter. A true feast for the senses, the platter featured seven pieces each of sushi and sashimi, along with an Alaskan Roll and Rainbow Roll. The selection was a delightful array of shrimp, salmon, tuna, toro, hamachi, red snapper, and eel, all impeccably fresh. The rolls, with cucumber and avocado tucked inside and rice on top, were executed with precision.

Although dessert wasn't initially in my plans, Amir, the managing partner, graciously presented a delectable blueberry cheesecake. Paired with my signature cappuccino, it was the perfect ending to an exquisite meal.

The service throughout the evening was impeccable, with Steve, my server, and Megan, one of the hostesses, ensuring that every detail was attended to. As I continue to explore the Scotto family of restaurants, it's clear that they have a deep passion for their craft. With four of their establishments already visited, I eagerly anticipate my next culinary journey. Insignia Prime Steak and Sushi comes highly recommended.

Right off the bat this restaurant to me is all about the ambiance and less about the food. The service was excellent but I wish I could describe the food in the same manner.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary dinner there recently. We have been there many times in the past. First time going there for sushi though. The sushi/sashimi was excellent as was the signature roll we had. The service is where this restaurant stands out. Impeccable service. Erica/Christian took good care of us. I will continue to enjoy dining here. Watch out for the valet kids. If you have a high end car, they ask you if you want them to take care of the car. So I said yeah take care of my car park it up front. When we came out to leave some kid takes my ticket and runs like six blocks to get my car. I find the “ take care of my car” kid and call him out on his little side hustle that he and his lackies are running down at the nicest restaurant in Smithtown. Should be looked into by someone.

Our server treated us as if he knows us for years and we weren’t called sir / ma’am or Mr / Mrs. Instead our server called us man,buddy,bro. It was a special day for us since it was the day I proposed to my girlfriend and we dressed professionally with full suit and dress for my lady. Other than that the only reason food got 4 stars is because my beef I ordered was supposed to be medium and not charred but when it came to the table it was heavily charred and tasted burnt. I would like to go back to this place and give it another chance of course but I’m not willing to be called man or bro at an expensive restaurant when I have suit on!!!

My wife and I enjoyed our food at this location. The ambiance and the service were up to par. The steak which is the most important thing was seasoned well and had good flavor however, the crust was very uneven on my ribeye. With an even sear, it would have been the perfect steak for me. Ultimately I was still satisfied and would come back to this location.

The food here is simply incredible, but what sets it apart is the impeccable staff and inviting atmosphere, creating the perfect night out. Yes, it’s expensive, but you’re paying for top quality, and it’s worth every penny. The steaks are cooked to perfection, the sides are delicious, and the ambiance is elegant yet comfortable.

I’ve visited Insignia a few times before as the atmosphere is very chic! This visit was on Tuesday July 16th, 2024. The location is great as it’s accessible and easy to find, the valet parking adds to its high end deal but I personally don’t think it’s necessary. For this visit, my husband and I were celebrating life and I wanted to use a $50 coupon I got via text yay! The bread was a little stale, but not a huge deal. We shared oysters and I forgot which ones (east of west) I kept thinking about rap music lol. They were super tasty and very filing! My hubby ordered a glass of red sangria that he said was not good at all, I got a glass of red wine, I don’t think they had Malbec which is a bummer as it is my favorite 😒. We decided to share the wagyu beef and the presentation itself was very entertaining! We paired it with their super yummy mashed potatoes and sweet potato French fries. We also got some dessert that was just okay, not even worth recommending! Overall, this place is an experience, it’s nice for a fancy night and the waitress and service workers were really terrific! Next time we hope to have fresher bread, better desserts and some Argentinian MALBEC please🍷 The restrooms were clean and nice: fancy all over the place 😜

The fried calamari was nothing short of amazing, tender on the inside with a delightful crunch on the outside. The quality of ingredients stood out in every dish, especially the creamed spinach, which was rich and flavorful. The dry-aged Australian Wagyu ribeye was an experience in itself, tender and bursting with deep flavors. Every bite of the meal confirmed the chef's commitment to quality and culinary excellence.

I've now gone here many times. I am never disappointed.

I took my fiancée out on Saturday 7/13 to celebrate our anniversary and had an amazing dinner but what happened after the dinner absolutely DISGUSTED me. When I paid the $254.20 bill on my card I left a $50 tip in cash, only to find out I was charged $300. I spoke with my bank and they advised me the initial charge of $254.20 was pre authorized and when the payment was closed somebody must’ve put an additional tip on the receipt after I had left. I called to speak with manager only to be told the managers were busy and I would receive a call back which I never received. Now I will have to waste more of my time, dispute the difference in the bill with my bank and I’ve absolutely lost all trust in this restaurant . I’ll never be back to another Scotto restaurant again. Unbelievable to say the least considering insignia has been my favorite steakhouse on Long Island.

The service was great. Our waiter was clearly experienced and every employee who was part of our evening, table side drinks and firing of meats, was wonderful. We had a party of 11 and felt completely taken care of. The food was just as lovely as the service. Our party ordered everything from salmon to sushi to the table side bacon and tomahawk steak, including the table side campfire drink. I ordered an affogato for dessert (not on the menu) and my request was met with "of course, no problem". This is truly a special spot and we look forward to returning. The prices are high, so be sure to review the menu beforehand. You'll definitely find something you enjoy, just be prepared for the money well spent. Also, the cucumber Martini was ::chefs kiss::.

This place has THE best porterhouse and tomahawk in NY and cleanest sushi. My wife is super picky about sushi and this place always meets her standards. Ive been to tons of great steakhouses and continue to go to New ones to see if they can beat this place and although I've had some fantastic steaks, this place always serves the best, hands down. The creamed spinach is better here then all their other Steakhouses also idk why but they should share the recipe/techniques with their other restaurants.

Coming here for years love the food and service. Recently had a server name George. I recommend asking for him. Food wise go for the tomahawk and any of the sides as well as the bacon.

I specifically called this restaurant to make sure they can accommodate celiac they informed me yes. I made sure I was clear with waiter that I can not have any cross contamination as I am celiac. they gave me my options waiter was great kept double checking with chef said chef said I can have A and B so that’s what I ordered. I confirmed when it was brought to me it was gluten free. Food was good, service was good unfortunately The next day couldn’t eat anything stomach was soo bloated I was extremely extremely sick, ended up passing out went to the doctor and I was 100% contaminated with gluten so sick for almost a full week. So If you have an actual celiac disease do not eat here.

Celebrated our anniversary. Our waiter Daniel was amazing. So attentive and explained specials and gave great recommendations. Food was great as well. Had the Lychee Leche cocktail, insignia salad, coconut shrimp sushi roll, porterhouse for two with the black truffle mac and cheese with lobster. And vanilla bean crème brûlée for dessert. Food was amazing. Live Dj playing the atmosphere was great. Would love to go back again.

The service here is is absolutely impeccable. The wait staff is amazing, extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu and wine list. The place is immaculate and beautiful.

But this is where everything ends about anything good about it. I like to call this place "Instagram famous", if you like spending your money on overpriced steak so you can post a picture online then this is the place for you.

First we had to wait for the table so we went to the bar for margaritas. These were $18 a piece and were terrible! We had to ask the bartender to add the triple sec because it was so sour I could have used it as insect repellent.

$300 for a waygu tomahawk steak so it can be cut by a guy with a samurai sword, $250 for a tasting of 4 ounces of Australian waygu, American waygu, and Japanese kobe, we ended up getting the porterhouse for 2 which is $150 but was tiny for this price.

Is the steak good, of course it is but it's no where near the grade of Peter Luger's, Teller's, or Keen's steak house but you'll be paying the same. So if you're looking to go to a steakhouse don't waste your time here.

I went first time to this restaurant with a gift certificate. The cashier on pickup said I would get 2 steaks for $148 so I agreed. When I arrived home I only received 1 , big problem in bringing dinner home and not enough to feed everyone. I called and spoke to owner Amir , he accused me of trying to shake him down for a free steak and verbally tried to talk me down telling me i was talking like a 2 year old. This is disgusting and they basically stoled a $100 from me and would not do anything to correct the mistake. I own a business I do not need a free steak this man is horrible and I am going pursue legal action. He is stealing from me over $100 for a steak dinner I did not get and that is very sad. This man is an idiot , disrespectful and rude and arguing with me over food that I paid for. I’m going to handle this but meantime please take in my review because this is probably the worst treatment I ever received over food that I paid for but not received. So basically they robbed me . They took $100 extra and did not fix what was missing that’s theft. Please take this seriously because this sick man needs to know what he did and how he ruined a family dinner besides stealing from me . So basically $200 paid for 1 steak and was horrible

Absolutely fantastic service from the moment we pulled our car into the parking lot. The valet greeted us quickly and efficiently. The hostess seated us quickly, as we had a reservation. We visited for our anniversary.
The server quickly came to our table with our menus and asked our preference of water; bottled or tap. We ordered 2 different cocktails; the Turtle Dove and the Lychee. Both were delicious. The wine menu was very impressive, and pricey, as you would expect.
For an appetizer we ordered WAGYU BEEF "HOT LAVA STONE" which is cooked table side. Very impressive, and very tasty.
They had a special for the main entree, 44oz Tomahawk steak for $250 for the table. A chef brings it out on a hot stone, and cuts it in front of you. The steak is brought out to the table 1 or 2 temperature below what you ordered, because the cooking of the meat is finished in front of you. All I have to say is this was my first ever time having a tomahawk steak, and it was mouth watering. More than enough for two people.
We also ordered mashed potatoes and truffle Mac&Cheese as our sides. The Mac&Cheese was out of this world, but to be honest, the mashed potatoes tasted more like instant mashed potatoes.
We finished with the SIX LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE which was not too sweet at all.
Overall amazing fancy steakhouse. Would go again.

The food was amazing, but I'm pretty sure my steak had butter on it as it made me feel pretty sick. Otherwise, great stuff, but I feel like that was $90+ wasted.

I alerted to my allergies and sensitivities, but there were one or two mistakes.

I'll likely only go for Sushi going forward.

This place seemed very trendy and I was skeptical. But after having quite a few appetizers and my entree and even dessert (something I normally don't have) it all blew everything out of the water. Everything was so flavorful and filling. Even my drink was perfectly balanced and heavenly. I knew the meal would be good, but I never imagined it as good as it was. I understand why the place was completely packed. You just have to go. I enjoyed some other steak places on LI and was very impressed, but Insignia was better than I could have ever imagined.

Made reservation for 8 and were seated promptly. Our group ordered Sushi,Tableside Bacon, Octopus and Salads. Service was outstanding and food was good. Our waiter rattled off at least 8 different specials that evening in addition to menu items! Several ordered the Wagyu steak, some ordered the filet minon, I had the marinated skirt steak. In addition, we ordered several sides to be shared( truffle fries, cream spinach, mashed potatoes, asparagus and mac and cheese) wifes filet was overcooked but they were extremely professional and had another within 5 mins. And even took off bill. My skirt steak was a little disappointing, thought it would be a little more tender. The desserts were good and overall it was a nice evening! You have to know going in, that this is gonna be a very costly meal! Was it worth the price we paid…????

One of the best restaurants in LI! Offering a wide selection and now serving brunch! I do not recommend the French Onion Soup. The Lamb chops, Caesar Salad, and all the deserts were fantastic!

Went for a special birthday celebration, party of 7 on a Saturday evening. For what they charge for everything, I was expecting so much more. The server we had was pleasant, but inattentive. While 3 in our party said their meals were excellent and would recommend; surf and turf, and skirt steak, the sword fish was eh, and the vegan filet-mignon (which Insignia claims is just like the real thing) was inedible, as was the vegan pasta bolognese. Don’t offer vegan dishes at premium prices if you can’t make them. Lesson learned, don’t go to a steak house if you have someone in your group that is vegan, even if the menu offers a vegan option. Sushi platter worth ordering, as was shrimp cocktail.

Very pricey but well worth it id rather pay more and get great quality then less and get bad food . Would recommend first time going to make sure you have money for valet parking or just park ya self surf turf was great only negative is lobster 🦞. Was bland but still good I would get again The steak was on point and cooked perfectly the sides were perfect The staff we had were perfect and knowledgeable and the place gets busy fast and is always packed .
