The American Hotel is one of the few historic hotels remaining in the United States. Here, visitors can come and visit and take a trip back in time to the mid-1920s when smoking rooms and jackets were commonplace among velvet furniture and strong whiskey served on the rocks. During the summertime.
Of course, The American Hotel is more than just a hotel, it houses an excellent restaurant as well. There are multiple dining areas depending on what kind of experience guests are looking for. The Main Dining Room is a lively and rambunctious room that holds about 80 people while the Drew Room is a quieter, more private area for those looking for an intimate evening. The food is quintessential American cuisine from across the United States.

The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were jumbo and delicious. Husband's lobster bisque also delicious. The crab cakes were not bready but a tad creamy. Whole lobster was very meaty and was deshelled for us.

Returned to the American Hotel restaurant for the first time this season and the ambiance and food were as great as ever. Service was also attentive, and even on a rather chilly day we were able to enjoy the patio seating in the rear (thanks in equal parts to the warmth of the sunshine and a patio heater). Unfortunately, the hostess' attitude and incompetence made for a rough start, but management caught the ball she dropped and turned things around again. We have enjoyed dining at The American Hotel for over a decade, and we look forward to many more meals here this season as well.

This is an iconic classic. Service was excellent. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the support staff was on top of their game. Even though it was crowded, we did not wait to be greeted, seated or served. Since we had a long drive to get their we could not fully enjoy the incredible wine list but we did each have a nice glass of Sancerre. My wife had the special salad and I had the special soup. We both had the Dover Sole a la Meunière. Every thing on the plate was delicious. Nice serving and done perfectly. For dessert I had the Raspberry sorbet and my wife had the cheese cake. All in all worth the trip. We look forward to dining there again.

We had a lovely meal at this iconic spot. It was our third or fourth in the last several years. The service and presentation was excellent. The food was quite good as usual. Value is the weak link. Clearly, the chef is wonderful and ingredients top notch, but the prices will take your breath away…even the foodiest of foodies will find the portions a tad diminutive.

The food is mediocre for a pretty high price point, but to be expected in Sag Harbor. French toast was best item we ordered. French onion soup was alright, crab cake burger was disappointing. Tiny little crab cake on an English muffin. Served with potato salad instead of fries.

Soup to nuts, this meal hit all the right notes. Lobster bisque is a must, as is vegetable risotto and crab cake burger. Only caveat, and it’s a small one, is diminutive size of the crab cake. But still a favorite Sag Harbor spot, any season, but especially nice before the summer crowds arrive.

Beautiful old world elegance. Prices high for not much food. Crabcake was on an English muffin instead of a nice brioche roll. 1 scoop of potato salad and 1 scoop of coke slaw for sides for $27.00. Not even a pickle. Chocolate torte was delicious but pricey. Waiter Ed L. Was great.
