I had been to this place before so I was surprised that things were a bit problematic this time. In defense of the restaurant, this was their last night before closing for a month or so during the off-season. So the fact that many menu items were unavailable was something that didn't bother us too much (although two of our party had been looking forward to the Brick Chicken). But we found the service offhanded (though some of servers were trying their best, at least one was borderline hostile). The biggest problems were with the waiting time for the food, which was more than an hour, and then two of our party got the evening special, Shrimp carbonara...we were all a bit stunned that there was nowhere a single shrimp to be found in either portion! Once we informed our server, she was extremely professional and took the items off the bill, but it was not a pleasant surprise. So we think this otherwise excellent restaurant just had a bad night and will definitely rebound. But with restaurant reviews being written practically every few minutes, no restaurant can really afford to have as bad a night as this one was.

Compared to some of the options onShelter Island which either have lower quality food, higher prices, or both, this is a very good option. It's not inepxensive to say the least, but the food is very good, and the service reasonably good.

Very pleasing spot and attended by mostly local Shelter Island folks in the off-season, mid-week, when we attended. Friendly staff and seek to accommodate well. Excellent menu options and specials.

Disappointing experience. Out on Shelter Island for an over night visit. Read reviews from other diners and expected better food and especially service. We were seated in a corner table and felt ignored by our waiter. Only thing that kept us from leaving was the nice live music.

We enjoyed our visit to the Inn and our evening around the welcoming fire pit waiting for our table. A great memory, and a delicious meal to commemorate a significant occasion. We will be back!
