Always amazing! Especially Vinny at the bar! Expansive wine list and great food-feels like going back in time

Went to have dinner there - was put in the back patio which was nice, but did get a little forgotten about in the back. Dinner was roughly 95 minutes for two. Food, drinks and dessert were great though. Went on a Tuesday night so also had the $2 oysters deal! read more

Quaint and quirky! I loved staying at this little hotel. It's a great intermixing of antiques with modern amenities. But let me talk about the BED. That was one of the most comfortable sleeping experiences I've had in a hotel in the longest time. Well worth it! (Also, the tub was amazing for soaking in the bath, even if the jets didn't work.) read more

Premium property right downtown. Sag Harbor couldn't beat the location. Great restaurant definitely a nice place to stay. Not glamorous not super high-end other priced as everything is in the Hamptons super high. read more

The food was amazing. The Staff all courteous and knowledgeable. The drinks were good too, they'll make you any popular drink you ask for.

Current ownership has gone all out to create a dining experience worthy of this Classic location. We have been here many times, but it is clearly significantly superior to past years. A beautiful location with lovely interior and exterior spaces, professional service, and a first-rate kitchen. I shouldn't fail to mention the best crab cakes I ever ate. A visit to the Hamptons is not complete without a meal at this fine establishment read more

Old school decor and service that made the experience rather quaint. Don't expect to be in and out of here quickly- the service was very leisurely. Luckily we were in no rush. But even the first drink took 30 minutes for delivery after we sat down. Other patrons had to keep calling over the waiter for assistance. The waiters appear to not want to rush you at all. Food was excellent and the ambience was great for a summer Hampton evening read more

In the Hamptom's where less is more! By that I mean you get less but pay lots more. We arrived promptly for our 7pm Saturday night reservation and were immediately seated in the bar area...what??? This 5 top table was wedged in the corner yet the bar was so busy that bar patrons were backing in to our chairs... unacceptable. So we asked the Jr. maitre D to try and relocate us which they surprisingly did into a back room with a table viewing the street. Started with Tequila rocks, a Hendrick's martini ($22) and nice glass of Sancerre ($20). Ordered some Appetizers of Lobster bisque which actually had slivers of Lobster (6.5), an undersized Beet & Orange salad (4), delicious oysters & buratta (na) On to the entrees. 1 less than crispy Local Long Island duck (8) a weak tasting & 2 portion controlled orders of only 3 Sea Scallops ($48), 2 orders of the skinny flounder meunière (6) Overall, while the service was outstanding the food didn't measure up. Unfortunately, it's Typical of Highfalutin locations where tourists make up a large percentage of their business and they don't have to rely on repeat customers because there is another guest waiting for your table. Caveat Emptor in play here. read more

My visit is based off of a bar visit only! I have a book about touring the Hamptons and and there when I have time I go through the book and pick out some stuff to check out that the book recommends. The American Hotel bar was one of the places to visit. I walked in and the atmosphere was quiet when I went in and spotted the bar pretty easily. I sat down and had one on one service from the bartender since I was the only one there. I don't drink alcohol anymore but recently I have been having non alcoholic beers here and there and the bartender had one in stock so he poured me a non alcoholic beer. It cost me $15 including leaving a decent size tip for a drink since I normally tip $1 a drink when I go out. It's a more swankier place so I expected a higher price. The bar seems to have a good selection for alcohol drinking people and if there were more people there it might have been a more fun atmosphere, for me it was more of a relaxing, take a few minutes to get myself together atmosphere which I appreciated. Maybe one day if I've got more money I'll spend the night as a guest in this hotel. read more

This is a review of the hotel only. It's creepy as fuck. Seriously, like haunted house movie level creepy. Everything creaks. Everything is old. Weird paintings in the wall. I swear to God I thought I would see my first ghost. This isn't kitch or cute, this place is downright scary. I went to bed praying I wouldn't wake up with a cold dead hand on my throat. I'm giving them 2 stars instead of one because they had a rotary phone and I got to show my daughter how to use it. Otherwise stay here at your own risk. read more

With the exception of large cities, it's difficult to find an actual 5-Star dining experience. An owner has to make an enormous commitment to provide not only the best food available but also create an environment that is memorable enough for patrons to return regularly. The other element, in my opinion, that sets a truly great restaurant apart is the staff. I have to say that the restaurant at the American Hotel comes through in all categories. If you are in Sag Harbor and do not dine there, you are missing out on a great experience! A special thank you to one of the best Waiters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting - Joseph! read more

Charming restaurant. Very good waiter, Dennis, who guided us well through the menu. I ordered the Caesar salad and flounder meunière. My husband ordered the Bay scallops which only are available a few weeks in the year. He is still talking about them. Our friends had the crab cake and Dover sole. Professional staff. Good drinks. Must go back ! read more

Seriously -anyone who gives this less than five stars--just ignore them. The drinks -perfect The appetizer -perfect The main entrees -perfect The desert --perfect And the service -perfect x 2. Thanks Vincenzo! You can't say anything else read more

I've been going here for years (to the restaurant). Tonight my husband and I were seated at the back patio, which was fine. The food was good, not great, but the service was agonizingly slow. Okay, not the end of the world. However, after the waiter was clearing the appetizers, he gave me back my dirty fork. !!!!!! I asked for a clean one, but at these prices, I was surprised. worse than that, we sat near a server's station, and the waitress was constantly scraping the food from one dirty plate to another (her apron was also filthy). I mentioned to the waiter that I didn't feel it was appropriate for patrons to have to see that, and he just walked away. I would never sit on the patio again, and I hope I get a different waiter next time (if I return) and that's debatable. read more

Beautiful and historical. Lovely Barbara's, and the porch is awesome for drinks and appetizers. Love the brunch on weekends!

Food is expensive, not anywhere near quality. The restaurant is cold, and the service is remote. No one addresses the issues. Avoid.

Been a habitue for 30 years. Have always fount the atmosphere and food superb. Sadly, ate there tonight and it's has slipped significantly. When you next are in Sag Harbor, pass it by... read more

Typically the only reliable fine dining in the Hamptons. Tonight all dishes (steak and chicken club and Caesar salad) were great. Issue was the crab cake appetizer was poor. The crab was not fresh -- frankly the crab cake reeked. Will come back because this is an anomaly. Message: if you don't have fresh crab, take the crab cake off the menu! read more

The service was slow and we had a very mediocre meal. I had the Flounder Almondine which was overdone and the side of broccoli which was undercooked! My son had the chicken which was very dry and honestly we should have sent it back. I told our server how overcooked the chicken was and he simply replied...Oh. Probably won't be going back since this is the second time we've been there and again left disappointed. read more

Hi hi! I was recently there for a lovely lunch and I must say, the food was superb! I was, however, disappointed that the to-go routine involved a sloppy tinfoil situation. Owning my own food service business, and having worked in the restaurant business for 20+ years, I'm at a loss for why you are sending leftovers home in messy tinfoil balls. The caliber of service and food at your establishment is bar none, so it's strange that you'd choose to book-end that experience with the slovenly choice of messy tinfoil. Everything rolled into a ball of everything? Really? Gross. Clam-shell to-go containers cost close to nothing. Consider your customers. Thank you and love you!! read more

The American Hotel's timeless classic allure, strong libations, wonderful food and professional service have kept us coming back over the past 20 plus years. We stayed at the hotel one winter (pre Yelp) as well and enjoyed the clawfoot bathtub and other vintage touches. Most recently enjoyed lunch of lobster BLT, Guinness on tap and macadamia nut pie - pure bliss. Too many things have changed in our world recently; hope the AH will remain steadfast in its commitment to old school elegance. read more

French maitre d is incredibly rude and makes guests feel diminished. The woman in my party had a diabetic alert dog. We notified the restaurant of our accommodation prior to showing up. We even asked to be seated in the back garden. We show up and unbeknownst to us the back garden is closed. He proceeds to tell us we can't sit in the main dining room with her service dog (illegal but she did not want to create a scene) so we're sat in the front porch, completely fine. We sit and we're ordering and ask for water for the dog as well. We're told no "we have no obligation to give your dog water. And make sure he is kept under the table." My guest was horrified. She's had diabetic alert dogs for 20 years and never been treated such a way. If you have a disability or something that would require you to have an accommodation, please do not dine here. They either won't accommodate or will make you feel incredibly bad for having such accommodation. And anyone who supports those with disabilities should not dine in this establishment either. read more

This restaurant has become my favorite place to go when I want an elegant but not stuffy place to splurge. I have taken my mom here quite a few times now since we were able to get out again, and we have never been disappointed. This place is amazing, and the food and service is awesome! The last time we were here we could not sit in the atrium which is my favorite place to sit. It is absolutely beautiful, but since this place is so popular, I discovered that even during a week day you should make reservations. We were able to be seated in their outdoor garden area, which was also beautiful. The service in this area was exactly the same...friendly, professional, and relaxed. The food here is also excellent. So delicious and the presentation is just as perfect as the food. If you want an elegant lunch, or dinner, this is the place to go. The staff will make you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door, and will do whatever it takes to ensure you have a wonderful time while you're there. As far as the prices here, it all depends on what you order. Some items are more expensive than others but I think it's definitely worth it. This is not an every day restaurant, but a place to go for a special day or night out. read more

Absolutely lovely restaurant, located in a beautifully historic part of town. Unless they have unreal happy hour that I don't know about, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for just an every day dinner. Like other yelp reviews, I agree that the menu items are a bit over priced. But again, you're in Southhampton. Our server spoke English, but wasn't the most personable guy on the planet. However, the host was unbelievably kind and attentive - he even brought us a bottle of champagne to celebrate my sister's birthday. I am torn between 3-4 stars. Three to me, is decent but could use some improvement. Mostly, I was unhappy with the saltiness of our food (along with everyone else at my table) It was overwhelming. Everything we ate was engulfed in salt, which I'm not sure why, because the food itself seemed to be high quality. The french onion soup looks great in photos, but in reality tasted like gravy (no exaggeration) I am glad that we enjoyed a nice evening here, but to be honest I wouldn't recommend it. It's nice for a special occasion, but maybe just for drinks & appetizers. read more

This review is for the restaurant. The food was utterly forgettable. Salad was overdressed, lobster was a bit tough, scallop potatoes were dreadfully bland and even salt could not save them. The service, however, was TERRIBLE. Server forgot to bring my husband's glass of wine. I wanted a vodka martini and asked what sort of vodkas they had and he obnoxiously responded asking which vodka I wanted so I asked for Chopin to which he subsequently responded, "We don't have that. What's next on your list (of vodka brands) ?" Overall an unpleasant and unrefined experience from start to finish. read more

Brought my little girl to this iconic restaurant in beautiful Sag Harbor. Retro elegance ambiance is a fact here. Service was impeccable. They didn't miss a beat. We didn't feel rushed even though we were only a two top. The wine Bible needed two people to carry to the table. Staff was helpful with recommendations. Went with my gut feeling for an 18 year old Burgundy and was very happy. Sweetbreads and paté to start. My daughter tried them both, enjoying the cherries with the paté but not so much the sweetbreads. The texture was what I know and expect: a soft creamy middle with a nice firmer texture on the outside. Maybe not so much for a 10 year old. She said she liked it but wouldn't order it. Though the paté she kept going in for more than her own salad. Like clockwork, my daughter orders the filet mignon for her entree (you don't want your son dating a salad entree girl, trust me). Cooked to perfection. I had the brace of quail veronique. Perfect amount of food. Tender, flavorful, aromatic, succulent, and a perfect pairing to my Burgundy. Banana's Fosters for my date and a sauternes for myself for dessert. Pictures to come read more
