50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Shelter Island

“Amazing location, amazing venue staff us was impeccable however food options for lunch as the restaurant is on an island to have more of a seafood selection versus hamburgers steaks also the portion sizes portion size could be increased slightly for the lunch menu.“

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday. It was a beautiful, cool shady spot on a quaint island porch. The lunch was all home-made and fresh even down to the English muffins. The dessert case had a plethora of delicious freshly baked treats. We sampled a bunch and one was better than the next! Definitely a must visit!“

“Our first time at Commander Cody’s. We had the fried oysters, baked clams, shrimp cocktail, cole slaw, mac-n-cheese and cheesecake. My partner is in hospitality and i am a big foodie. The food was enriched with culture and you felt the soul, being a hoppa- I respect that. It was incredible and left me wanting to come back one more time before we head go back to Brooklyn. We will definitely make this our “go to” when we come back!! Thanks you Commander Cody for the photo op!“

“We arrived shortly before 3 and they were nice enough to let us in even though the kitchen was about to close. The absolute BEST burger I have ever had. I got the western burger and it was incredible. Service was friendly and fun. We loved everything about this quaint, local “un-Hamptony” spot. Brought me back to the good ole days of East End life. Too bad places like these are disappearing out east.“

“Great food owner’s and staff very Friendly“

“Great find! On a chilly winter night Nookies provided the perfect last minute (a rare occurrence, I believe) dinner for two with cool easy vibes and really yummy warming food.

Fun retro decor and neat off the beaten path spot in Southold area.

We also got a nice quick little tour of the motel and would love to stay here on our next visit out!

Will definitely be back!“

“Service was excellent. Food was delicious“

“Food and service was wonderful!“

“Lovely backyard with tables or Adirondack chairs for sipping wine and enjoying appetizers. Friendly staff. Great wines, especially whites and rosés.“

“A Hidden Gem on Long Island: One Woman Winery

Long Island’s North Fork has long been known for its wineries, but One Woman Winery stands out as a true treasure, capturing the heart of wine enthusiasts with its exceptional vintages, authentic charm, and unparalleled hospitality.

Unlike many large-scale operations, One Woman Winery embodies the essence of a family-run business. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with warmth that feels like you’re stepping into a cherished family tradition. The cozy tasting room is often staffed by the founder’s daughter, whose knowledge, passion, and friendly demeanor elevate the experience. She takes the time to guide each guest through the story of the winery, the unique terroir, and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every bottle.

Speaking of the wine—wow. Long Island’s wine scene is increasingly crowded, but One Woman Winery’s offerings are a cut above the rest. Their focus on small-batch production means every sip is a revelation. From their crisp, mineral-driven whites to the complex, elegant reds, every wine tells a story of dedication and authenticity. If you’re lucky, you might even try one of their limited releases, which perfectly showcase the winery’s ability to make art in a bottle.

What truly sets One Woman apart, however, is its customer service—a rare gem on the East End these days. Many wineries in the region seem to have let their standards slip, prioritizing quantity over quality when it comes to guest experience. Not here. At One Woman, guests are treated with care, attention, and genuine hospitality. Whether it’s a detailed wine recommendation or a simple, welcoming smile, the team consistently goes above and beyond to make every visit unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a winery that delivers more than just great wine—a place where you feel valued, inspired, and a part of something special—One Woman Winery is an absolute must-visit. It’s a beacon of quality and tradition in the heart of Long Island wine country, and its dedication to excellence will keep you coming back for more. Cheers to the family and staff who has made this place so extraordinary!“

“The food was fantastic. We had the fajita platter and shared it, it was definitely enough for two people plus extra. It seems to be very popular as a takeout restaurant. We ate in and sat down, and the food took quite a while to come out. The time for our food to arrive was the reason I knocked a star down. Really good food, I recommend this place!“

“Perfect experience. My wife and I loved our selections. The owner, Tom, stopped by to say hi, which was a really nice touch and what a great guy. Cheers.“

“Very nice atmosphere staff n owners chef are the nicest people My daughter is an employee and we were invited to dinner there n no other job that my kids have done that for the family! Beautiful place n beautiful people! The food is amazing“

“It is one of the best and most upscale wineries on Long Island. The wine selection is very large with some great roses, whites and reds. They also have a very delicious sake cider. The service was also great and the view was beautiful. We are red wine lovers and loved their Cabernet and Franc. Their signature rose is also delicious.“

“Good food, friendly spot, big fan. Been coming here for years. Here's my 1 suggestion: for the takeout ...why not offer online ordering? I have to call for take-out, which usually results in the line being busy (in the summer). If I can't get through I have to go elsewhere, which stinks because I live close by. Then, if I do get through, have to provide my credit card info, which is very 2006. Maybe ownership simply doesn't need the takeout biz and prefers it this way, and that's fine, but remains frustrating nonetheless. Just my .02 cents.“

“Hellenic in East Marion was incredible! This was my first Greek meal in 5 years since before my diagnosis. I haven't been able to eat safe from cross contamination gluten free Greek food and today I was sooo happy! Hellenic makes their own gluten free pita bread. It was so good that I bought some frozen gluten free pita to go. We went to the farms today so we just kept driving but it will be a great place to go before or after taking the ferry to Connecticut in the future as it’s on the way. I wish it was closer to central/western Suffolk. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Tastefully decorated and delish. The BLT & Espresso w/ Sweet Creme was yummy. We didn’t have reservations but the Host squeezed us in for a delightful meal. The wait staff was equally accommodating…can’t wait to return….🌻“

“One of our go to spots for a casual relaxed time with excellent food and service and quiet enough to be able to hear friends across the table. The special halibut entree was excellent and very lightly prepared over greens, mushrooms and cauliflower puree. One friend had a salmon rice bowl and another a strip steak and fries. Something for everyone. Firecracker shrimp always a favorite to share and the profiterole is a must.“

“I love the whole family, the food. The price .

Vegetarian options: Beautiful salads n sandwiches with alfalfa sprouts n Mozzarella n basil anything.

Kid-friendliness: Burgers chicken tenders. Fries

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel right in“

“Ottima location persone meravigliose ma soprattutto il vino è meraviglioso grazie mille per tutti voi un abbraccio forte a voi tutti ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇹❤️“

“We hosted an event at Greenport Harbor Brewery and it was just perfect. John, the founder, was a pleasure to work with, the staff was friendly, the food delicious, and everyone had a great time. We would gladly host another event here and would recommend to friends and family.“

“Beautiful winery, the building is so gorgeous and authentic. People here really create an atmosphere and provide amazing experience for customers and club members. They have cute little shop with pretty souvenirs and some things you just must have at your kitchen. Wine and food platters are divine. I really love that they have outdoor sitting in the summer period.“

“Their 2019 Cabernet Franc is smooth, satisfying, and affordable. Kudos.“

“What a beautiful setting that transports you. The staff was incredibly accommodating, charcuterie board was fantastic, and the ability to play some bocce with your favorite glass of wine in hand was top. We even were treated to a mini tour and photo ops!“

“Beautiful place! Definitely a must. Gabby was so knowledgeable and welcoming. The bar itself is gorgeous with copper everywhere. I kept looking around finding new details to appreciate. And the live music in the afternoon was perfect. Can’t wait to return.“

“best scrambled eggs around. Just overall favorite spot.. Outside seating charm“

“Very good! Mediterranean cuisine“

“Great Staff! Amazing wines and the entertainment cannot be beat! Really enjoy there special events too! Bonus Dog Friendly“

“This place was great and so nice to hang out in. The bar is upstairs and they have many beers on tap! The downstairs first floor is set up in a way that makes casual hangouts easy. There is a small stage in the corner I assume for bands. It was raining so we were not able to sit outside but it looked like a nice sidewalk spot. I’d recommend this place to anyone in Greenport!“

“Great owner and staff. Made us feel very comfortable and welcome.. Food VERY GOOD! My wife, who is NOT a fish eater almost finished ger entire plate of flounder. Owner told her if she didn't like it he would take it back! Didn't happen. My dish was excellent Would highly recommend!“

“Great spot to stop at on your way out east. Menu has been updated. Why but play a round of mini golf too? This place is associated with Ellen on Front in Greenport. Another spot on my list to get to.

Kid-friendliness: Ice cream, hot dogs and mini golf“

“Great atmosphere and food. Top shelf Mexican cuisine!!!“

“Went with my friends to celebrate our girl's birthday. Arrived after 3 pm and on a Monday, so the place was pretty empty. But Gina was very helpful in explaining which wines we would like based on our individual preferences. Was able to bring some cheese and veggies in, too. We enjoyed ourselves despite the rain we had. Would recommend but during the week is probably better than the weekend.“

“Great food and Views!! Always fun to sit at the bar before dinner!!“

“Great place. Food and service was great“

“Stephanie! She runs the greatest happy hour in NoFo!! She is so friendly and informative. Made great cocktails and the oysters are only $2! It’s a no brainer.“

“We had a great lunch at Noah's, but the clam chowder was the one that stuck out the most...“

“Great food service & amazing Dirty martinis!!!“

“Muy rica la comida excelente atención“

“Amongst all the mediocrity out here, Cilantro’s really rises to the top. The food was great, it was well packaged for takeout, the place looked nice and clean inside, staff was a delight, and if you like hot sauce, I highly recommend trying the red stuff. It’s delish, and it’ll also give your pucker a facelift - if you catch my drift!“

“Love love love the food is always amazing the staff is great 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“Second time we have been there, both times food & service were great!“

“We were in Greenport for Mother’s Day, and stumbled in here. The smell from outside was amazing. We ordered the half Brisket, Ribs and sausage with large fries, I was worried the food would be drenched in BBQ sauce, this was not the case. We were grateful the food was seasoned and sauced perfectly. The fries for us were crispy, some would say over done but perfect for us. We liked the atmosphere, service initially was a little slow but it was Mom’s Day. Oh two last things, if you order the sausage it is very hot, good but spicy hot so be prepared. Portions were decent, two of us ate from what we ordered and had a box to come home with.“

“Had lunch here last Thursday! Our server James was terrific! The pizza was great!
My nickname is Bobbie Pizza & my girlfriend Susie slice gave it a 4.8 pepperoni's out of 5 on our pepperoni rating scale for pizza! We have been to over 100+ pizzerias/restaurants over the last eight years! 1943 is definitely a must place to eat if you're in town!
???“

“Definitely an “off night” I'm sorry to say. First time ever in all these years. Tuna appetizer was tasteless & warm. Sent it back. That was a first. Ordered wings instead. They came 5 minutes after ours in dishes. Sauce was diluted & flavor was off. Steak Fajita main was off as well. Guac was thin & tasteless, steak was raw & sour cream was missing. Going to just say it was an off night. Hope this is not a new pattern. Time will tell.“

“Food is well made. Nothing was bad, but also nothing was exceptionally good. It’s a fine dinner experience, but I expected more at this price point. Service was slow and haphazard, but it was a holiday weekend and the restaurant was packed, so it might be better at a less crowded evening.“

“My second takeout order in 2 weeks was even better than before. Teriyaki bento boxes with extremely generous portions of salmon and shrimp teriyaki, shu mai, two giant shrimp tempura and veggies, a sushi roll, rice, miso soup, and salad. Great value and very fresh and tasty.“

“Yesterday was the first time we went to this good restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the generous service, with the fine food and fine drinks and with the decent cost. We will definitely return there soon.“

“We had a fantastic lunch by the water at this beautiful open-air restaurant. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxing, with a perfect view of the harbor and a light breeze coming through the open windows. The service was friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The clam pasta was creamy and flavourful. The fried seafood plates were crispy and fresh, and the mac and cheese was a big hit with the kids. The lobster salad was also a standout—fresh, crunchy, and generously topped. Everything was served promptly and nicely presented.“
