“Update: Went back their 1st day open again (March 28 2024).. and of course, had my favorite mezzo app! ? That pita bread ?Sam was great as always but one thing that did happen was a credit card charge on receipt but we paid cash. It says CC service charge. We just asked about it and then she said she forgot to take it off so we just told her if she took it off to just keep it as part of the tip we already left.Also we ordered mussels but felt like we took out a lot of empty shells. We found some in the broth but was alot of empty more than would be. Enough that we both questioned it. so we will try again.B loves the cornbread. I just remember the key lime pie I had last year for my bday. Yum!OLD REVIEW: I thought I already left a review but realized I didn't. This was my favorite discovery last Summer and I kept coming back bringing different people! I got sad to see it was temporarily closed but it is scheduled to open today and we are coming! ? Gotta go find all the pictures. I even celebrated my Bday there last year. Willing to drive from Southampton just to order to go ? Such a cute place...great food!“
“Commendable from every aspect. Parking, waitstaff, view, and most importantly, the dinner. Another delicious experience from appetizers to desserts. Our table enjoyed the baby back ribs and burrata with figs as a start. Entrees included the filet mignon and the local striped bass. Vegetarian opted for the portobello mushroom. Topped off my experience with the chocolate martini for dessert. Luscious.“
“We and our friend are elderly - the food and service were exceptional. We would like to commend the young lady who served us (did not catch her name) as absolutely outstanding from start to the finish - carling, attentive, amusing and simply a lovely person. Please pass our appreciation to her - Reservation at 6pm - Brashich. You should be proud of her. Neboysha R Brashich“
“A proper family-owned and family-friendly pub with excellent food and extremely friendly service. Eclectic decor for extra comfiness.Fries - pillowy and crispy, thick cut - like in Dublin. Can't really go wrong with anything you order.Thank you, Front Street!“
“We love this place! The lobster hush puppies are a family favorite. Mike Soleau, the chef, grew up in the commercial fishing and restaurant industries. He knows his fish! His fiancé Erin is the front of house, she grew up in the industry. The view is great, bartenders are professionals. They are doing football specials on Sundays.“
“We first visited Sophie's about 10 years ago-we were not impressed. Mostly fried food served in styrofoam plates and uncomfortable high-top tables. This past fall, we visited Sophie's again (first time in 10 years). WOW-what an improvement! Delicious marinated steak, fantastic clams-on real plates! Beautifully decorated, comfortable dining table and chairs, friendly staff-great food and drinks. We have returned several times since-always satisfied with our dining experience!! My one complaint-don't serve appys with plastic plates.“
“We live in this town and we have been here many times. They have a great happy hour with half-price drinks most days of the week and on Fridays half price apps. We went for a full dinner several times this summer and we' have not been disappointed. Special recommendations for bartender Eddie, and waitress Katie. Recommend the dishes - apps: Baja fish tacos, fish chouda, Thai chili mussels, Entree: crusted cod. The chicken Milanese looks wonderful, but didn't actually have it. The shrimp and grits with sausage was only OK. I can make it better at home. Sit outside on the deck when the weather is wonderful, but sit inside when it is marginal.“
“Such a great place, we go every year after we get our Christmas tree, nice warm days we walk across to the beach/water and take in the views. The food is great, service is great also. The restaurant is split with a bar side with TVs for more casual dining, or the dining room side. Great menu selection and specials are always good too!“
“In pre-Covid days in the summer i often came for the takeout and to sit under their tent. Usually had by a very tasty seafood sandwich. Returned this Sunday and sat with my daughter in their very clean and comfortable indoor sitting area. Order at the counter where menu is posted as well as a blackboard of specials. We ordered the fried calamari and seafood risotto.The calamari was exceptional and truly the best I’ve ever had. The seafood risotto was not what a risotto is. It was not creamy and with two clams three mussels two thinly sliced pieces of chorizo and three shrimp placed on top. Go to an Italian or Spanish restaurant for a better creation with more Mediterranean flavor. I will come back for the calamari. They have in a can local wine. Pinot grigio was really good.Service is good but wish they had given us a small receptacle for the shellfish.“
“Commander Cody’s Fish Market is a mainstay on Shelter Island. Owners Jimmy Hayward and his daughter Amanda, serve the best fried chicken and assortment of smoked fish that people come from far and wide to enjoy. Recently I stopped in and got containers of prepared food from their fridge: potato salad cole slaw, ribs (to warm up at home) and smoked bluefish, and it was absolutely delicious. The smoked ribs are to die for, by the way. With family-run restaurants with a personal touch becoming such a rarity in this area, we are fortunate to have Commander Cody’s here on our little island. During peak times in the summer, the parking can get a little tight so parking on the street is a good idea. Following a Hamptons magazine review, Commander Cody’s got “discovered” and during the summer it is often best to order hot food in advance. As is often the case for the best, there might be a wait, but the outcome is worth it.“
