We had dinner at Baron's Cove for our last night in Sag Harbor. We didn't stay at the resort, but wanted to try the restaurant since we heard there was a new chef.
We booked a reservation 5 days prior via Resy and they require a credit card to book the reservation, so if you're not 100% sure you want to come here, I wouldn't recommend booking since there is a cancellation fee if you do not cancel within a 24 hour time frame from the reservation. We wanted a 7pm reservation, but couldn't book that, so we opted for a 6pm reservation. Check in was easy, but hostess wasn't that friendly.
The restaurant itself was outdoors and we sat on the deck. Tables were following the socially distant guidelines and the servers all had masks on. Our server Akeen was fantastic. He was very friendly and welcoming. He told us the specials and his personal recommendations. He also took the time to read the notice on our reservation which was very nice to know he took the time to provide outstanding service.
We started with Rose and calamari. Dinner choices were scallops and tilefish. Dessert was the blackberry crumble.
Service 5/5 due to our server Akeen and his great demeanor and attention to detail.
Food here was 3/5 - the tilefish was bland with no flavor. Calamari was average and the scallops were just okay. The blackberry crumble was nice, but nothing to rave about. Not sure who this "new chef" that all the workers are told to rave about is, but it was mediocre and we expected more from the food portion of the night.
Ambiance 5/5 - scenery was beautiful and there was live music. It was very romantic and the heat lamps were perfect for a cooler September evening.
Wanted to love this place, but not sure I'll return due to the food.
