This is by far my favorite spot in Sag Harbor! If you want a little escape back to the early 1900s with old school vibes, delicious French food and classic drinks, this place is a MUST! The bartenders Vinnie, Paul, Harold, and Irvin are stupendous! Thanks Always for the great experience!
Beautiful old style restaurant, very good service, nice staff and good food. All meals came at the same time and it seemed the waiters had some good training. Always would go back.
Ate dinner with my wife for our anniversary, the staff made us feel special. Mikhail was our server, 5 stars for him too! The food was excellent. Loved the Lobster Risotto and the Bananas Foster.
The American Hotel is a staple of sag harbor. It always offers quality service, maintains great staff, and provides delicious food consistently. This is a timeless restaurant that we are lucky to have in the area
Always great food! And the atmosphere cannot be beat. We tried the lobster BLT this time. Excellent
Myself and a woman I'm dating had a 7pm reservation. We were greeted very warmly upon our arrival and it only got better from that point. Seated in the bar area at a 2 top table which I thought was perfect it was alive with all types laughs and conversations which made for a great atmosphere! Food wine service dessert as always was perfect took our time after 3 hours I know thats a long one but my date was so engaging gorgeous and a little tipsy it felt like 1 hour. No pressure to leave or flip our table if your in Sag Harbor don't miss this place it's fantastic!!
Stopped in for a drink on a sunday nigh. Bar was packed, so we were offered the couch in the front of the establishment. Absolutely great. The staff was friendly. The Manhattan was perfect. Watching staff interact with local patrons as they came and went was all the entertainment we needed. Historic, iconic, and quaint. A Sag Harbor must !
I did not come to stay. I came strictly for the restaurant located downstairs. MY GOD IN HEAVEN...BEST ABSOLUTE BEST SEAFOOD I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE (and I eat alot of seafood). The fish was fresh, vegetables fresh, sauce spectacular! I have NOTHING bad to say about this place except that it's too far for me to come here more often but I will definitely be back. MY COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF
