A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I stayed overnight at the American Hotel and had dinner. The room was fine, but we were disappointed by the restaurant. It is a historic place with occasional celebrities and Hampton's prices but the food and service did not live up to our expectations. The duck breast portion was minuscule, the smoked trout appetizer was not appetizing and our waiter was stretched thin. The oysters were very good.

It is with great disappointment that I must convey my dissatisfaction regarding our recent visits to this establishment. My wife and I, having graced this venue on multiple occasions with the hope of consistency, have resolved never to return. The ambiance, regrettably, lacks the refinement one would anticipate from an establishment of purported standing. The culinary offerings were underwhelming, a stark contrast to what one expects when patronizing such a place. Moreover, the conduct of the staff was, to put it mildly, unbecoming. A particular waiter—whose name, if memory serves, is Osmian—displayed a demeanor towards fellow patrons that was nothing short of appalling. It is most disconcerting that the management appears disengaged from these glaring deficiencies. Observing waitstaff indulging in meals within view of the guests, while others awaited service, speaks volumes of the absence of professionalism. One would expect a more cultivated approach to customer service, especially when considerable sums have been expended. In summation, the experience fell woefully short of the standards we uphold, making it impossible for us to revisit.

Beautiful old style restaurant, very good service, nice staff and good food. All meals came at the same time and it seemed the waiters had some good training. Always would go back.

Myself and a woman I'm dating had a 7pm reservation. We were greeted very warmly upon our arrival and it only got better from that point. Seated in the bar area at a 2 top table which I thought was perfect it was alive with all types laughs and conversations which made for a great atmosphere! Food wine service dessert as always was perfect took our time after 3 hours I know thats a long one but my date was so engaging gorgeous and a little tipsy it felt like 1 hour. No pressure to leave or flip our table if your in Sag Harbor don't miss this place it's fantastic!!

Ate dinner with my wife for our anniversary, the staff made us feel special. Mikhail was our server, 5 stars for him too! The food was excellent. Loved the Lobster Risotto and the Bananas Foster.

Stopped in for a drink on a sunday nigh. Bar was packed, so we were offered the couch in the front of the establishment. Absolutely great. The staff was friendly. The Manhattan was perfect. Watching staff interact with local patrons as they came and went was all the entertainment we needed. Historic, iconic, and quaint. A Sag Harbor must !
