Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Shelter Island

Summary: One of the best restaurants in Sag Harbor, great view from the upper floor (especially before nightfall), a welcoming ambiance, and prompt service. The food aspires to Top Chef status, but when we were there on Thanksgiving Day, 2024, it didn't quite make that cut. The two starter courses (I had soup and a generous portion of crabmeat) and desserts were fantastic, but my main course choice of traditional turkey seemed to be a pileup of dark meat left over from other customers' preference for white meat. But we had a good time, and the customers were a pleasant mix of families and friends. Since it is part of a hotel, the restaurant was open on Thanksgiving when many restaurants were closed, and we were grateful to get a reservation anywhere close to the day. The price was fair given the day. On Open Table, I don't remember any warning that there would be a $99 prix fixe per person for a four-course meal, plus tax and the required 21% tip (plus a suggested option to add more). This could add up to a surprise for a family. The restaurant website in one place says there is a $50 per person cancellation fee. and in another, it says $100 per person. But these are minor quibbles. I recommend this place.

Absolutely Delightful - the tea house is super cute and everything is top tier! My Aunt had not been to High Tea in years and she loved it soooo much. She will be back I’m sure! Make a reservation and go! You will love it.

This Inn and its restaurnat spots are a lovely haven in Shelter Island. If you are in the area, its a nice place to stop. We picked it because it was the only place we could find on Open Table but we now love it and will go back again. It's a peaceful haven with lovel service. Try the ravioli, or the bacon and broccolini omelette.
