The service is consistently excellent, with well-trained staff who ensure a pleasant dining experience. The food is fantastic, featuring high-quality dishes, including creative specials.

Located in Port Jefferson village, parking can be a challenge if you arrive late, but the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and accommodating staff. Families are welcome, though it may be a bit expensive for kids.

Old Fields offers delicious drinks, including the Bourb-Berry and cinnamon cider, alongside tasty starters like the buttermilk fried chicken and buttermilk fried calamari. The Old Fields burger and squid ink linguine are popular main meal options, along with the perfectly cooked 10 oz filet mignon and 22 oz ribeye. For dessert, the s’mores brownie sundae is highly recommended. The bar staff, especially Nick, is known for making drinks quickly and exactly how customers like them, and the restaurant is accommodating to gluten allergies.

The ambiance is pretty, but it can be a little dark, and the noise level is just right for easy conversation. Service is kind and helpful, though it can feel slow at times, possibly due to staff shortages. Parking is most convenient in the paid lot in front, with street parking further away.

The food and drinks are the main attractions. Cocktails like the mezcal version of an espresso martini, called 43 Espressions, are bold and enjoyable, while the Lavender Fields offers a fresh, easily sippable flavor. Classic dishes like French onion soup are executed perfectly, with no need for reinvention. Main courses like Dave's Roasted Chicken are cooked perfectly, paired nicely with paella rice and asparagus, with serving sizes that satisfy without feeling overwhelming. The tagliatelle with red pepper romesco and skirt steak is fresh and well-portioned, providing a satisfying Italian-inspired option.

Even with some slower service, guests find Old Fields to be a delightful experience worth returning for, eager to try more steak options and desserts. A recent dinner for three received praise for all dishes, from appetizers to desserts and sides. One guest ordered a larger rib steak, cooked to perfection after being asked how they liked it, with staff being exceptionally accommodating and attentive throughout the meal. The overall ambiance contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable visit.
