The American Hotel

"The landmark hotel in the heart of the iconic fishing village of Sag Harbor is a mainstay for exquisite dining experience to the white glove service from our waiters Joseph and Dennis to the delicious prepared meals and old world charm ambiance this is a must for a special occasion or for a date with that special someone in your life"

"Very bad experience. If you're in your thirties and looking for a nice, but fun place to go to dinner in the Hamptons, do not go here. So many other better options. After arriving, I was told my shirt (a nice tee shirt) was inappropriate for the restaurant. I humbly accepted that and sat down. Next, waiter walks up and makes a joke asking if we want expresso martinis, as if we are kids just looking to get buzzed. That followed by very poor service and just okay food. In summary, going to a nice restaurant, spending a bunch of money on cocktails and multiple courses, against being made to feel like fools, felt like a bad trade. Go somewhere else."

"Im have been in and my friends are in the restaurant business and are huge foodies and wine buffs. The food at the American Hotel is absolutely amazing. I went on a Tuesday and saw their $1 Oyster special and had 2doz myself. All apps & entrees were incredible and the desert was phenomenal as well. I'm sober but my friends order 2 bottles of fantastic wine also at a very very reasonable price. 5 star all around because the service was impeccable on all ends."

"My visit is based off of a bar visit only! I have a book about touring the Hamptons and and there when I have time I go through the book and pick out some stuff to check out that the book recommends. The American Hotel bar was one of the places to visit. I walked in and the atmosphere was quiet when I went in and spotted the bar pretty easily. I sat down and had one on one service from the bartender since I was the only one there. I don't drink alcohol anymore but recently I have been having non alcoholic beers here and there and the bartender had one in stock so he poured me a non alcoholic beer. It cost me $15 including leaving a decent size tip for a drink since I normally tip $1 a drink when I go out. It's a more swankier place so I expected a higher price. The bar seems to have a good selection for alcohol drinking people and if there were more people there it might have been a more fun atmosphere, for me it was more of a relaxing, take a few minutes to get myself together atmosphere which I appreciated. Maybe one day if I've got more money I'll spend the night as a guest in this hotel."

"Living just blocks away from The American Hotel, we have enjoyed many a pleasant meal in the restaurant or family brunch on the porch (and countless great cocktails in the bar!). But on a recent date night for Valentine’s Day, I have to say the food was rather mediocre, especially for the price (landing well over $300 for two). Most notably, the special “order-ahead” chocolate soufflé was a collapsed lump of chocolate. It’s hard to complain about “just ok”, but at those prices, and at a restaurant that claims to be one of the best in the area, it’s unlikely we will return for much more than cocktails. To end on a nice note, one of our two appetizers was delicious."
