Best French Restaurants in Fishers Island

We recently dined at The James to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The restaurant’s decor was beautiful—elegant and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The service was outstanding; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly valued as guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. To make the evening even more memorable, the staff surprised us with a glass of champagne each and a thoughtful birthday card for my husband. It was such a kind and personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Overall, it was an exceptional evening, and I would definitely return. Whether for a celebration or just a nice dinner out, this is a place I would highly recommend

We done here regularly and it is always a pleasure. Food is delicious and service is great

Can be loud at times and a little cramped. Onion soup is the best around. So are the escargots.

We had a delicious dinner at this quiet little gem in Massapequa. Appetizer - Escargot was seasoned to perfection. Dinner - Chicken Cordon Bleu, Beef Borganion, Trout Almondine, all had a beautiful presentation & were so tasty. Staff were so accommodating and friendly. Chef Aless even came to our table. It was a wonderful birthday celebration for my sister. We will be going back.

We have been to Hunter many times and it never disappoints. The the only truly gourmet restaurant on the Island in our opinion. It is upscale in every way but especially in the sourcing, using only the best of ingredients and purveyors. It is priced accordingly but we do not mind that when we are getting the value in terms of the dining experience and Hunter delivers well on that score. They serve a delicious thinly sliced ham as a treat with the tasty bread and butter. The signature French marguerita pizza is a very light appetizer that pairs well with cocktails for the group. The Duck a L'Orange is the best I have had anywhere and the veal chop parmigiana is another favorite. All of the fish dishes are prepared the right way -- retaining the moistness of the fish -- the cod is also a favorite. Desserts are similarly outstanding. The staff is very attentive -- respectful, well trained and experienced. Finally, the restaurant has great ambience - tables are well spaced and the design is very tranquil and relaxing. All in all, a great experience every time.
