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.

    The dining experience was wonderful in all ways. Food preparation, service and ambience were top notch. It is pricey but if you are looking for the best restaurant in the Hamptons, The Bridgehampton Inn is the place.

    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.

    Truly a wonderful dinning experience. Service was impeccable, atmosphere warm and pleasant, and the food was fantastic. Apps we had the baked calms and lobster bisque, both amazing. For our mains, we had the pork cheeks and rabbit leg, again top notch. Dessert was truly the cherry on top of the meal. My only feedback would be, they need to serve a glass of whiskey in a proper rocks glass and use large cube ice vs, crushed iced.
