Wine Bars near Shelter Island

“Love to come here and enjoy a bottle of wine with a charcuterie and cheese flight from King Andrew Cheese, conveniently located on a food truck in front. The garden has lots of seating and you can play bocce, cornhole, or listen to music. A TON of room for kids to run around and play as well. Great addition to the island ♥️“

“Everything here is fantastic. We started with the cocktails, of course, which were smooth, complex, interesting, *and* delicious and refreshing. We built our own pizza which stood toe-to-toe with some of the best places in NYC, the sauce being the standout. And we wrapped up with a mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwich with a buttery but not underdone and somehow also cold cookie stuffed generously but smartly with velvety ice cream. Cannot recommend enough.“

“Great, inventive brunch menu. The duck confit with duck egg on top was perfect winter fare as was the homemade Swiss sausage with red cabbage. The only drawback is that the restaurant is pretty cold and drafty, so if you go when it's cold, be sure to dress in layers.“

“I dropped my husband at the door to check-in to go park our car since there were no available handicap parking spaces and the restaurant is in a very busy town. I found him sitting at the bar when I arrived and was told our wait would be about 20-30 minutes. While our host was friendlier to me, she didn't seem to be toward my husband. She was, however, excellent at her post as well as stepping in to help waitstaff all the while we were there. We did not make a reservation because their website only recommends for 4 or more, I would recommend calling ahead anyway. We waited about 20 minutes and then were seated. Our waitress seemed very inexperienced and/or there seemed to be a language barrier (not italian) or some lack of attentiveness from her throughout our meal. The food was scrumptious, and everything was hot and abundant. Our waitress disappeared, so we did have to wait a considerable amount of time, again asking the busy hostess to intervene, to pay for our meal and be on our way. They make the best homemade "garlic knot" bread! While I was too full to eat dessert, I did take their triple chocolate mousse cake home to eat. I wouldn't recommend it so much. It was a very small piece and $$$$10 a slice.“

“I had dinner with friends on a busy Friday summer evening. The food was very good (I had salmon, another members of my party had the hanger steak, and another the tuna). All of our entrees were well prepared, and generous portions. For an appetizer we had the lobster tostada which was outstanding. Our waiter was low-key and professional, very attentive without being obtrusive. This is an excellent slightly out of the way spot on the East End. What I especially appreciated is that unlike some places in the Hamptons, there’s no “attitude,” just a pleasant vibe and good food.“

“NOT open on Mondays, but still the best bar on the North Fork! Only place to get a real pour of Guinness! Not to mention the only pool table in Southold. Live music, karaoke and open mic nights. Outside seating available too during nice weather.“
