Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in North Fork

Maitre D' (?) was exceptional. He greeted us promptly, informed us that our reserved table was not ready ( we were early,) and escorted us to the bar for a drink. The mixologist concocted a perfect Olde Fashioned and actually brought it to us in the sitting room in front of the fire. Within 5 minutes we were escorted to our table, again in front of a cozy fire. Music played in the background, a little loud (just a bit) and perhaps an odd mix of tunes for an elegant setting. Since we had our drink order the server took our starter and main requests. Unfortunately, we, unlike every other guest, did not receive a bread basket. We did ask for one after our starters arrived, but it never showed up. Our mains were perfectly cooked. My wife had the steak ( medium rare) and I had the short ribs. My wife had asked that the fried potatoes be changed to mashed but we were told that substitutions were not possible. That was off-putting at these prices. Dessert was chocolate mousse and coffee for the lady and I opted for the double Irish coffee. The mousse arrived without even being noticed as it was placed in the center of the table. A goblet of mousse without a supporting plate, classless. The Irish coffee was outstanding, again thanks to the mixologyist. All in all a pleasant evening. Maybe a little more attention to small details would elevate the experience to the next level.

My husband and I ate a lovely dinner here before a show at the Bay Street Theater (btw they offer discount if you show the your tickets!). It was super quiet, there was literally no one in the restaurant for a good hour after we were seated. We ordered a couple of drinks which we enjoyed. The salads were both good and the mains were delicious. I had short ribs and my hubs had filet mignon. We did wait a good bit for our entrees but we had time and the ambience was so nice and relaxing we didn’t mind. By the time we left, the bar below us was getting a bit raucous but again it was not an issue. Just shows people we’re having fun! We decided that we will come next summer and stay the weekend.

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.
