We had a noon reservation for two and were seated immediately at a lovely waterfront table. The service was excellent from start to finish--friendly and attentive. They did charge for water, but the food made up for it. The chicken pilard was outstanding, and the truffle pasta was rich and delicious. Valet parking is available, and the location right on the water makes it a perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or any special occasion. Highly recommend! read more

The ambiance at this restaurant is absolutely stunning, making it worth a visit just for the atmosphere alone. From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us warmly and was exceptionally friendly. While the food itself is fairly average and a bit pricey for what it is, the setting truly enhances the overall experience. We didn't try any drinks, but they looked great. We ordered a lobster salad, which was just okay, and a Wagyu burger with fries--the fries were definitely the highlight of the meal. We also had espresso, which was good, and finished with two scoops of sorbet. I would definitely come back, but more so to sit outside, enjoy some appetizers, and have a drink. read more

I went with my friends two days ago. (2 guys, 2 girls), the hostess welcomed us and we say 4 people. She then says the guys can not enter because they have shorts. Okay, no problem. We leave. Then we come back, literally 2 minutes later (just me and my girl friend) we see the hostess and ask her if we can go in now, to which she points to her manager who was sitting people before us. He lets TWO people go in and then 6 people (all white) randomly follow them inside one by one, and each tell him: we're with him...we're with him...we're with him... And the manager looked confused since he didn't know how many were in that party but still let them in. Now me n my friend go up to him and say two people and he says you can't go in without a reservation. (Did not even ask if we had one) (Maybe we should've said we were with all the people who walked in) We ask to stand by the bar and he says not without a reservation..okay..n then he adds with a little sass "what do you want me to do, it's the weekend " so we left. Everything would've been great if he had been polite about the situation. If we were told from the start, a reservation was required and that it was not just because our friends had shorts. It all just made their reasoning for not letting us in a bit sketchy if you get my drift. Would've loved to just look at the inside of the place and maybe then we would come back another day but not with the way it all went down. After googling this restaurant...my reasonings and suspicions were definitely answered and racism definitely came into question. read more

I love this restaurant. The low reviews are usually because people don't get seated outside or they try to walk in and get turned away or they think it's overpriced. This is the Hamptons, it's one of the only restaurants with a water view and the food is pretty good so you're paying for all of that. We come here at least a couple times each season and have a great experience. The seafood tower is my favorite thing on the menu. read more

Incredibly pompous hostess and front manager that clearly picks and chooses who they "let in". It seems if you're blonde and blue/green eyed you have full access to this place. We decided not to have drinks here after the ice cold vibe from their staff and left. I wouldn't give this place a dime. I have dined at restaurants across the globe and have never felt like we weren't welcomed and given such a dismissive attitude by the staff of a restaurant. read more

Delicious food, impeccable, service, and such a beautiful location. The mussels were divine. The endive salad was well executed . They take Dietary restrictions very seriously . The tarte tatin so delicious...I have no words. Still my favorite restaurant in the Hamptons. read more

Exceptional food with an amazing view of the water The service is fast as well as how quickly they bring out the food. Maybe a little too fast. Their signature chicken dish came out cold the first time while the rest of our food came out perfect. After it was re-fired, it was delicious. The Veal Scallopini & Morel is new to their menu and was FABULOUS!!! The mussels were very good. Overall had a good experience. read more

I never write reviews, but hours after dining at Le Bilboquet, I am still furious by my experience. I made a reservation on Resy. My fault for not reading the fine print, but I did arrive at the restaurant for my 5:45pm reservation on a Wednesday, with my family, to sit outside on a dock as it was 95 degrees, dressed appropriately, but was turned away because I was wearing shorts. Given that we drove 30-minutes to dine here, I found myself wondering the streets of Sag Harbor looking for a store to buy a pair of pants. Yes, this is as stupid as it sounds. As I finally made it to the table, without a drink menu presented, I ordered an iced tea. When I finished it, the server asked if I wanted another. This happened another 2-3xs, given how hot it was. When the bill came, I couldn't help but notice that the cost of an iced team was $10. Yes, $10. This wasn't a magical iced tea, or from a special tea leaf. It was literally your standard brewed tea. Well, I paid $30 for iced tea and the response from the waiter was, "sorry, they raised the prices". The food, service and ambiance was great. Can't take that away from them. But as for ever going back or recommending it any anyone, I'd for sure give them a heads-up. And I would NEVER go back due the sheer arrogance of this restaurants leadership. read more

I had an amazing experience here. I'm not sure what all the reviews are speaking about. But I feel like a lot of them didn't read the dress code that was prominently displayed on their site and when you make a reservation. When we arrived, they were able to sit us early and the hostess and host were very nice. The service was great. We had the shrimp cocktail and the salmon special for an app then we both had the Cajun chicken which was excellent. We also got the creme brûlé special dessert. We moved to the bar after for cocktails and the people watching was great. The bartenders were great as well. Mind you it is the weekend after Labor Day so we might have missed the craziness, but I definitely would go back. read more

Always marvelous for luncheon. It's nice to sit outside right on the water with a view of the boats. I find the staff here to be very kind and accommodating, never pretentious or pushy. I'm always offered coffee and never rushed with my bill. I most recently ordered the ratatouille. I was blown away! It's just how I make it myself at home, and I am very discerning in the kitchen. I'm glad Le Bilboquet is settling in as staple spot out East. read more

I mean look, it's manily a day party place. I do like it, the food is alright and they maintain the standard in NY, Palm Beach and other locations. We had the tuna tartare, brqnzino, dessert, and drinks. It primarily a party place rather than exceptional gastronomy. But its a nice ambiance for a brunch party to see and be seen. The server was pleasant and professional. read more

So disappointing, yet another example of pompous attitude that results in a negative review. Came for lunch 2:20, there's a 2:30 reservation I didn't take online cause the whole patio outside is empty . The two girls look at me in under Armour shirt and shorts and say you need reservation and won't seat me based on how I look. I parked my Lamborghini across the street, if I pulled up front would they then let me dine? Ridiculous that you're still judged based on your watch, car and clothing and the whole restaurant is empty on a Tuesday Have eaten at the Palm Beach location and NYC which are both amazing experiences ,these girls are hired to give great customer service not be pompous from the first greet and not seat you. read more

Food is alright but not worth the price. Lauren the host is extremely rude. If it wasn't for her attitude then maybe things would be better. Other than that restaurant is nice inside but that's one of the only positive things I can say. read more

We had a beyond lovely evening! We asked the host for a nice table as it was our first time. We waited a few minutes and then they sat us right on the water! Service was amazing. We didn't finish our wine and they let us take it to the bar to enjoy. Everyone was lovely, staff was amazing, and food was: drinks were really good! Expensive yes, but we enjoyed it :) our server was Kristi and he was phenomenal!! read more

Not gonna lie, I was quite terrified to come here after reading the reviews of the host and the dress code. That however was not my experience at all. We arrived for a reservation for 3 promptly at 6:45 the Thursday before MDW. We expected it to be madness, but it was quite open and lowkey. The host was very kind in greeting us and asked for our preference of indoor/outdoor. We opted for indoor because we knew it would get a little chilly once the sun set, but outdoor seating looked beautiful. Our waiter was fantastic. He explained the specials perfectly and gave us ample time to decide on things. Even the additional serving staff ensured that our waters were always full and our meals were always seasoned with fresh pepper. Now, onto the food and drink: -Dama Nuestra (or whatever the spicy tequila drink was called): we enjoyed, as this is our spirit of choice, but the mix was definitely mass pre-made and room temp despite the giant ice cube inside -Bread Basket: fine, standard, nothing to write home about, could've skipped -Le Tartare de Thon (Tuna Tartare): underwhelming, lacking flavor -Calamari: SHOW STOPPER, we loved the grilled calamari -Branzino: wonderful with perfectly seasoned and cooked broccolini -Le Poulet Cajun: also amazing flavor and texture AND a lot of food, the fries were fantastic as well -Scallops: delicious, came with 3 (could've used a 4th) but great flavor All in all, YES this place is expensive, and YES some of the clientele/fellow diners can make you question your outfit choice and wallet size (place is frequently dined by celebrities, so be cool), but the food IS GOOD and us commoners were treated with nothing but respect. Don't let the reviews discourage you from trying. read more

We ate here mid September 2024. We just wandered in while walking around Sag Harbor...didn't know anything about this restaurant. Beautiful place with a fantastic view of the yacht harbor. They are a bit too critical of attire. At lunch time tourists abound and the vast majority are dressed casually. We have traveled all 7 continents of the world and this Maitre' D nearly tops the list of being overly snooty looking people up and down....we saw him do that to everyone as they entered the restaurant. The food was very good, but definitely overpriced. Service was absolutely great. A nice experience overall. read more

Just not good. I don't know what to say, the food is just bland, the service is OK, the whole atmosphere is just blah. The Palm Beach location is much cozier, better priced, friendlier. I just don't get this place. read more

Oh I wish we had read the reviews before we went for dinner. Yes, the food was definitely prepared the night before and even then it was served cold. Tasty - I don't think so. Fish dry and tasteless. I'm fairly certain the vegetables were canned from the supermarket. They certainly tasted that way. There was a bouncer at the door - and we had to wait after our reservation time. Lots of arguing about dress code and getting in to the bar. Now the bar scene was interesting for about 10 seconds. The usual Hamptons tourists, a lot of old men and then escorts and an abundance of plastic everywhere. The moment our plates were cleared and we said no to desert, we were asked to leave. Very politely Here was a first ... there was a line to exit. Literally it took 5 minutes to leave - after that meal and the service it felt like an hour. So I guess people go there to look and be in the scene and based on the reviews the management doesn't care that their restaurant stinks cause they stay busy. But we will not return and truly wish we had never gone !! read more

Really cool atmosphere, but strong risk of food poisoning. I was sick for two days after eating here.

Seriously, if you're overwhelmed by the "expanse" feel" of the restaurant venue, don't NOT GO! The food, the service, the cocktails and the calmness of the water are all exceptional. I think that's why the dining room & deck is so wide, so that the experience is shared all. Best swordfish I've ever had; best cocktail and best service. Go, stay long and enjoy. read more

Le Bilboquet gets 5 stars for service and the atmosphere but the food fell short. We made a reservation and were seated right away near the window with a great view of the dock and the boats. It is a great place for a sunset. The staff was extremely attentive and everyone was able to answer questions/grab more drinks etc. (Not just our own waitress). The apps were good. We had mussels and the tomato salad. The mussels were a huge portion because it normally comes as an entree. We had salmon, lamb chops and the Branzino for 2 as mains. Everything was good but not out of this world. Unfortunately the Branzino was fishy and lacked any flavor. It comes out as a full fish and then it is filleted at the table. They could use a some seasoning or sear on the Branzino bc it was very bland. Otherwise we enjoyed our meal. For the price though, the mains need to be better. We will be back but probably only for apps and drinks. read more

Always a great setting and thought the food and service was better this summer than previous visits. Got the palm beach salad and tuna app. Both good. LOVED the non-alcoholic ginger drink. So yummy. Has a good glass of wine too for lunch. read more

Mediocre pricey food and very pretentious . Good "people watching" of plastic pretentious at its best . 5 stars for location and the servers were great . If you're not dressed the way the captain thinks you should be you are not seated at a nice table ...despite plenty of tables available . Not that it matters but we were driving a Porsche since my husband is a car enthusiast....but of course they had no idea... we were not wearing the "designer" clothing and could feel the. disapproval . Starving so stayed Should not have . read more

If anyone who works at this place is reading this and isn't the owner get over yourself you work at Le Bilboquiet. The food is average at best, the service is bad and the only redeeming quality is the water views. They literally have a roided bouncer at 6pm standing in the front. After 9pm its unbelievable for people watching - bad plastic surgery, escorts and sketchy old men. read more

Racist host at front, whose pants were too tight with an ugly orange wristwatch, he did not seat us and said they were completely booked for the weekend, to which we saw tables available. As we were walking out, the couple behind us whispered to check with Resy and we saw reservations available at the time we were there! Glad we didn't waste our money and time here. read more

Had a wonderful evening last night (Thursday). We do not care to dine here on the weekends as it's just more beautiful when it's not crazy packed and the staff isn't as inundated. Our server Chantelle was fabulous. Absolutely attentive and sweet from the second we sat down. We had a wonderful table inside overlooking the other guests and water. Great service, great food and we always love the ambiance. But again, we prefer not coming during the weekends. It's just an elevated evening that way and we appreciate that. read more

So perfect! Food, service, decor, atmosphere. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with salmon. And of course the French bread is crunchy on the outside and soft inside with the perfect butter! But make a reservation...and go! read more

I'm really glad I ended up being able to get a reservation here (which can be hard and they only open 7 days in advance). This restaurant by far has the prettiest views of any of the restaurants in the Hamptons. It is actually on the docks and you have amazing views of the water and the beautiful boats in the marina. The decor and ambiance are really modern and fresh, not what I expected from an expensive French restaurant that lists a strict dress code (no sportswear, shorts, or flip-flops). They have a large patio that is decorated with lots of greenery. All of the staff that we interacted with were pleasant. I had the nuestra dama cocktail which I really enjoyed. The bread basket was pretty good. I really enjoyed the tuna tartar but the endive salad was a little bland and I didn't really like the flavor. I ordered the salmon as my entree and it was cooked to perfection; perfectly crisp on the outside and still moist on the inside. The yogurt sauce was really good on the salmon. I originally wanted the bass and asked them for that without the fennel, but they stated that they pre-wrap the bass in parchment paper and cannot take out the fennel. It was a little odd that they couldn't accommodate that request given how pricey of a restaurant this is. The saffron rice was good, but a small portion. The pomme frites were also nice and crispy. My husband had the steak, which he enjoyed, though it was very fatty. They took COVID precautions seriously. Both the indoor and outdoor tables had plastic dividers between tables and the waiters were all masked and gloved. Overall, I would say the food was good and the ambiance was stellar. This honestly is not an authentic French restaurant though. Spanish music was playing, they served focaccia, the butter was cold, the waiter did not know how to pronounce the names of some of the French dishes/ingredients. But I still really enjoyed my dinner here and hope to come back. read more

who requires pants in mid-August in Sag Harbor? Oh, the French. Way to know your audience. Oh, the rule only applies to men. The hostesses could not have been more rude. Shocking for a French restaurant. Any other restaurant, including takeout from the grocery store, recommended over this falsely-arrogant establishment. I doubt it will be here in '24. Hopefully the owner of the real estate got the rent in advance. There are many great restaurants in town and the broader area. We don't need this place. RIP read more
