Grilled cheese and crab at Shandon Court

In everyone's family life you need some big people time. Meeting old friends last night, we went to Shandon Court on Main Street in East Islip. What a truly nice place!

Hanging out in the large bar area was very comfortable with plenty of room to stand. There are also a bunch of small tables and chairs, to sit and chat or have a bite to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. The bar is huge - again with lots of places to sit. Last night they had live music.

Besides the great drinks and friends - you have to try Shandon Court's food. It is delicious. We only stayed in the bar area, but the bar menu is what would be on the dinner menu at most restaurants. The one thing that I dreamed about last night was Shandon Court's grilled cheese and crab meat sandwich. It definitely was different, but you must try it. It is done with bakery fresh bread, tons of real crab meat and Munster cheese. Just scrumptious! The other food on their menu was great too and priced affordable.

All of the staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant part is away from the bar for diners that want a full meal. There are also two other totally separate catering rooms - fit for everything from a birthday party to a small wedding. Shandon Court is an all round great place to stop and have a drink or throw a party. And the best part is the grilled cheese and crab meat sandwich - yum!
