The primary and private dining rooms are located in the original first floor gathering spaces. The intimate restaurant deftly juxtaposes modern orange vinyl chairs with black and white portraits of Bridgehampton’s agrarian history, handblown glassware with delicate seasonal flowers. Featuring one-on-one service, the restaurant cozily seats 50 while offering a more relaxed atmosphere in the warm months on our private patio, which has been reconfigured to capture the beauty and peacefulness of our Inn’s garden. Our thoughtfully playful dinner menus change bi-weekly, with the season, and feature the best available, locally-gathered ingredients. That means 800+ recipes a year - how exciting! Each week: the menu consistently serves a form of duck and fish, an iteration of the fritter - lobster, artichoke, zucchini - and our all-time favorite cheeses found at Loaves & Fishes Food Store on cheese stones.

    Michael Jordan's never disappoints. It was my husbands birthday & he loves MJ, so we drove an hour or so for dinner. He had the grilled octopus for an app & the NY strip. I had the wedge salad (the best !) & filet lollipops. The lollipops were an app but there was alot of meat. Everything was excellent. Our server was attentive & helpful with questions we had. My husband had the baked alaska for dessert. Another reason we keep coming back. I don't know another restaurant that has it. Overall, great food cooked perfectly & great service. Thank you !!

    With The Waterlot re-opening, we were eager to have a meal there. It was fantastic in every way. The ambiance was wonderful, the servers were obviously very-well trained, and the food was above expectations. We felt welcomed from the moment we set foot in the door, and the entire place felt energized! We are looking forward to our next visit.

    Impeccable. Fun atmosphere. Great cocktails and wine list. Food is executed to perfection. Had the Osso Buco and Foies Gras , it was fantastic. Staff is extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Try the new Hot Chocolate on the dessert menu, it was the best I have ever had.
