Best Seasonal Restaurants in Shelter Island

One of our favorite dining spots. The small side room was a bit loud for our taste but the food and general ambiance can’t be beat!

We recently dined at the Halyard and enjoyed our meal so much we returned several more times. The food is amazing. Our starters were the Whipped Ricotta, Fried Calamari and Crab Cakes. Every one of the starters were so delicious and the perfect amount of food to begin your meal. Our main courses ranged from Scallops, Chicken to the Lobster Pappardelle. The chef is absolutely amazing with how he creates each dish with their delicious flavors.( We added on the french fries and broccoli rabe which were also delicious.) We ended our meal with some fabulous desserts. We tried the Banana Toffee Sundae, Apple Cider Donuts and the Espresso Creme Brûlée. Each one of the desserts were tasty. Sharing all of these gave us a variety of tastes. We loved them all. I would definitely recommend trying a variety of meals and sharing. The other bonus is the wine selection. Bill will suggest a great wine to pair with your meal . His knowledge of wines is a wonderful addition to the restaurant and all they offer at the Halyard.

My husband and I came here right after we got married to celebrate a little honeymoon. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to the menu and any questions that we had. They greeted us with complementary champagne to celebrate our marriage. The food was absolutely delicious and everything was really amazing!

We went for a date night. The food was so delicious! The service and atmosphere are amazing. We will definitely be back. This was our first time not there in the Summer, it was so cozy and intimate.

Great experience. Service and food first class. Pricey but well worth it. Hand duck, wife had chicken scallapini , son had bass. All outstanding. Some of the best service I ever had
