"Historic and set right in the middle of town, this grand old inn delivers a sense of place with polished, old-world charm." - Jessica Chapel, Emily Adler
A Guide To Sag Harbor, the Hamptons Village Where You Can Spend a Classic American Summer | Vogue
"A stately Georgian grande dame dating to 1846, this eight-room icon buzzes at night with well-dressed patrons sipping martinis at the bar and, by day, draws townsfolk to the porch overlooking Main Street for lunch and people-watching; for many, there’s no more authentic stay in town." - Elise Taylor
"Dating back to 1846, this quaint property in the middle of town offers a genuine sense of history and comfortable, intimate rooms — there are just eight, each outfitted with turn-of-the-century art and furniture and double whirlpool bathtubs. I’d also recommend the on-site restaurant, which is known for French-American fare and a spectacular wine list." - Lauren Dana Ellman

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 !

Tourist trap? Came in as a group of 5 for dinner, spent a trillion dollars and literally no one remarked on the food. I ordered the crab cake. If the food we were served was actually sourced from pre-made food from Costco I wouldn’t have been able to tell.
And the atmosphere including clientele is giving pure Miss Havisham vibes.

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

Came for the wine list - which was impressive indeed. Was hoping to see the cellar but that didn’t happen.
Food was the opposite of the wine list. You would think that if you’re dropping big money on a bottle of Romanée Conti you would like to eat something equally remarkable.
Furthermore, while we were picking away at our orderings some of the staff were heaping leftovers into a big, sloppy pile of food a few feet away from us. It literally made it impossible for us to keep eating and we left. The picture is the second pile, the one before it was at least three times the size. The table next to us also commented on the event.
100% not the experience we were expecting. If you look at reviews not done by “local guides” you’ll read more honest commentary.

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

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!

The restaurant is amazing. The food and drinks are excellent and the service is outstanding. We were seated in the back patio and it was lovely.

The food mediocre -the rabbit overcooked again. The bison should’ve been medium rare - came out fully well done at $76. No apologies. The bread is stale tonight. We’ve been coming here for about 30-35 . I don’t know what’s going on now. Management needs to be replaced for the Chef does
