| A combo of "19th-century charm and Hamptons chic", this "classic" Sag Harbor hotel garners garlands for "top-flight" French-American cuisine and a "fabulous" 2,500-label wine list thats "thicker than a phone book" ("you have to be in good shape just to lift it"); "attentive but not fawning" servers "meet every need" in the antiques-filled dining rooms or on the "perfect" porch, so though a few grumble its "stuffy", "snooty" and "pricey", admirers assert they "never regret paying the bill"; N.B. a post-Survey chef change may outdate the above Food score. |

| Though the "nondescript facade" suggests a "roadside dive", indoors lies a surprise; this New American just outside Sag Harbor turns out to be a "gorgeous" and "elegant" eatery with modern-tropical interiors and "wonderful sunset views" over Noyac Bay; what with "delightful" seasonal cuisine and service thats "always gracious if not perfect", this "off-the-beaten-path" "charmer" is a real "find." |

| "Hot waitresses and cold fish – the perfect combination" swoon surveyors smitten with this chichi Japanese in Sag Harbor, one of "the best sushi" spots "on the East End"; the "inventive, succulent and addictive" choices draw a "happening" "crowd" almost "every night", so you "could grow old waiting for a table" (no reservations); still, if you "wear black and look disinterested" youll fit right in. |

| Owner Robert Durkin "has created another wonderful restaurant" report reviewers of this "unpretentious" (if slightly "pricey") New American "unexpectedly" tucked "in the back of a bookstore" along "Sag Harbors Main Street"; browsers appreciate that the "interesting menu" provides "both expected and unexpected choices", the staff is "attentive" and the atmospheres "abuzz"; P.S. "the outside deck is great on a warm summer night." |

| Perched high above the street and "overlooking a marina", this "informal", bistro-style boîte beckons Sag Harborites for "spectacular sunset views"; its "consistently" fine New American eats and "attentive service" also appeal, which is why the "cramped quarters" are inevitably "packed on summer evenings"; getting a coveted table on the outdoor deck is extra-tough thanks to the "annoying but necessary" no-reservations policy; N.B. open seasonally only. |
