The Inn Spot on The Bay - Hampton Bays

I had a wonderful evening celebrating St. Patrick's Day with my grandfather at The Inn Spot on the Bay. We had the opportunity to meet and chat with the Chef/owner, which was a nice touch. The restaurant was quiet due to the ongoing pandemic, but the food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming and friendly. I can't wait to return when it's bustling with people!

Once again, The Inn Spot never disappoints. I recently attended the start of their winter international festival where they featured a French menu. The meal began with a flavorful and filling onion soup, followed by a delicious beef bourguignon, and ended with a heavenly baba au rhum and panna cotta with a crispy burnt sugar topping. It was absolutely delicious!

The food at this restaurant is fantastic! The service was top-notch, and I appreciated that Chef Collette personally visited each table to greet guests and inquire about their meal. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. It was truly an exceptional dining experience.

My family and I visited Inn Spot for Christmas in 2018. It was our first Christmas without my Mom, so I wanted to try something new for my Dad and three children. The dinner was amazing for all 5 of us (my husband couldn't join us due to a fever). I couldn't stop praising the food to my husband, and my Dad agreed that it was outstanding and well worth the 50-minute drive. However, when just the three of us returned for Christmas Day in 2019, we were disappointed for various reasons. The service was great and the location was beautiful, but my Dad found the goose to be not as good as the previous year, describing it as "grainy and dry." The stuffing in my turkey dinner had large chunks of bread and lacked flavor. Additionally, the waiter had incorrectly described a gingerbread chiffon dessert as actually being a piece of gingerbread, causing some confusion. Despite this, the ambiance was lovely, and we felt bad for hyping up the restaurant based on our perfect experience the year before. The portions were generous, the flavors were nice, and the prices were reasonable.

The waitress was unable to explain any items on the menu, took a long time to take our order, and forgot to bring our drinks. The food was terrible. My son's charcuterie plate was strange with fried pepperoni, no chutney or honey, no bread, and tasteless cheese. My tuna steak seemed pre-made or store-bought as it was cold and dry. The oysters were served in water, not on ice. The lobster salad appetizer was mostly mayo, not much lobster, and made me ill. My wife's chicken and waffles were good, but everything else in the meal was terrible, including the service.
