    We live in Smithtown, been to steak houses all over the island and NYC. Paces is our favorite by far. We always love the food, service and ambiance. Best Filet I’ve ever had and the seafood is always top notch. Whether we want a burger, seafood or a high end steak- the food always exceeds our expectations! Thank you Pace’s!

    Pace Steak House – You will not find a better steakhouse. This quaint, well-managed restaurant has a wonderful ambiance and prioritizes both on food quality and service. The steaks are perfectly aged, and the seafood would put most local seafood restaurants to shame. The food is the best I’ve ever had, and the service is top-notch. It’s truly a dining experience. If you want to feel special—or make someone, feel special—experience Pace Steak House. They are more than just amazing!

    One of the few steakhouses that gets medium rare RIGHT! The food was absolutely delicious as usual, and the service the night we went was unmatched! It was our first anniversary the night we visited (09/29) and our night was lovely :) Shoutout to the servers we had that night- you were AWESOME!

    My husband and I tried Paces for the first time last night. We were absolutely blown away by the service, quality of food, selection, friendliness of the staff and the restaurant atmosphere. We had the best wedge salad and marinated steaks ever! We are big foodies and loveee steak and couldn’t wait to try this place out. Without a doubt this is the best steakhouse on Long Island! You will not be disappointed. From the garlic buttered bread.. to the fresh seafood, bacon slab specials, the dipping sauces and huge selection of desserts there is something for everyone here. Really great food for a great price. Jeremy is the best- super nice and gave us great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!
