Inn Spot on the Bay

Come for the clean, fresh and well cooked food. Stay for the properly made Irish black tea.

Amazing find! Colette serves up fantastic and healthy food. She is both a fine chef and very knowledgeable about organic and natural foods. Had the Crabby Eggs for brunch. My girlfriend has food sensitivities and Collette was happy to spend time with us to discuss her menu. Great place for meat eaters and vegans alike. It just tastes really good. My new fav place. Oh yeah, the view of the bay and the back lawn with chairs are a bonus to relax to after your meal

Great crabby eggs for brunch! Too bad their fresh juices were on a food truck, though that would be a reason to come back

Beautiful location to watch the sunset while sipping cocktails on a lovely summer evening. As for the food, our table ended up ordering a variety of seafood entrees. All were fresh and tasty with the standout being the Shrimp Curry. The warm chocolate cake was the winner among desserts. The owner and staff are welcoming and attentive. A Spot In the Hamptons worth seeking out!

This place is great! I got the chicken fried chicken and it was delicious. Also, let’s not forget the amazing view right on the bay. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area!

Attentive and very nice staff. Made us feel welcome and comfortable. The restaurant though was overpriced for what you received. If you wanted to spend top dollar for a good meal go to Bridgehampton.

Husband enjoyed his chicken fried chicken. My crustacean pot pie left something to be desired and we weren’t thrilled with the oyster appetizer with absynthe. It was nice to try a new restaurant in town though and the service was excellent.

If I could give this spot zero stars, I probably would. We went here for breakfast on Sunday and could not believe what an epic fail this was. The only thing going for this place is it’s location and beautiful view.
Our waitress was new and in training, however, no one was with her. She kept telling us she is training, however, she was not the problem with our experience. Except for the fact that our food was served and she never came back to the table — not even to collect the bill. They also did not have enough menus for a table of four! There were only a handful of other guests in the dining room, so I am not sure where all their menus were.
The menu had different kinds of iced tea listed — black, green, etc, however when ordering my iced tea she said she wasn’t sure that they had iced tea. But she would check and if they didn’t have any, she would brew some hot tea and put it over ice for me. What’s the point of having all these nice tea offerings if they aren’t available?
We were a party of four. We ordered two omelets and two orders of pancakes. The pancakes were VERY well done, but the men ate them anyway. My mother-​in-​law ate a few bites of her omelette, however, my omelette was not even edible and neither were our sides of home fries. The only options for toast were white or whole grain. The toast was hard, stone cold, with a smear of cold butter. The home fries were very pale /​almost translucent and tasted like cooking spray. There were no seasonings at all — just underdone potatoes that tasted like PAM. My omelette (onions, peppers, picante sauce, and avocado with jack cheese) had a very funny color. The top was brown like it was burnt but the inside was stone cold, however, the cheese was melted. There was NO flavor to the eggs and the picante sauce looked like jarred Tostito’s salsa. gross. To top it off, after biting into the egg part of the omelet — the whole bite tasted again like PAM cooking spray or some kind of oil. There was no way I could possibly eat around that. Gross gross gross. The waitress never came to check on us, other wise she may have noticed that we were not touching our eggs or hash browns. My husband’s order of hash browns never came to the table. When he asked the server for them, we were told that they don’t serve hash browns (even though he ordered them).
When a woman came over to clear our plates (she may have been the owner), she noticed that I did not touch my breakfast. She asked me if I didn’t like it and I said no. She asked why and I told her the whole plate tasted like oil. She proceeded to correct me in saying, «That’s funny because we don’t use oil». I told her perhaps it was cooking spray and she just shook her head and said she would take it off the bill.
With tip, our bill was over $ 100! For three breakfasts!!! (Mine was excluded from the meal). This place is a rip off and serves food that you cannot eat!
I see that there are rave reviews for their lunches and dinners but I can’t see how this could be possible. How do you mess up eggs and home fries so badly but have rave reviews for seafood and more complicated dishes? Is it possible that this establishment has been taken over by new management or a new chef?
We were all very disappointed because we are always looking for new places to try. Because it had such a great view, we really wanted to love this place and make it one of our regular spots.
Anyone have any suggestions for good breakfast in the area???

The dinner menu was fabulous. I had a cream of crab and a pork dish, and I really enjoyed them both. They have a really nice outdoor sitting area with a wonderful view of the Bay.
The only reason I am giving them 3 stars is because their breakfast menu is not as great. Since my in-​laws were staying here we had both breakfast at dinner at their restaurant, and I definitely recommend the dinner menu. The breakfast is ok, but nothing to die for.

One of my FAVORITE little places near Westhampton. Very good food. I’ll be going back again and again, for sure.

This place really is a hidden gem in Hampton Bays. As a local, I never thought to go here because I wasn’t sure if they only catered to their guests staying at the B&B. I am so glad that the place my friend and I were planning on going to for brunch was closed one Sunday because we stumbled upon this place. The food was great and the view is outstanding. The food was cooked perfectly and presented nicely. We even wanted to have another drink and go sit down in the chairs by the water and our waitress brought the drinks to us so we could just sit and relax. Great service, great food! I will be sure to visit again soon for brunch.

Went here when visiting friends. The place is very pretty and has an at home feeling. The crab bisque was amazing. 3 of us had the lobster which was great. The seafood pot pie was excellent and had a great flavor. Service was great and not rushed at all. Wonderful place to go.

Delicious meal, great atmosphere, terrific hospitality on the bay — who could ask for more! Colette and Pam have created a wonderful place to enjoy a gourmet dinner. The duck was cooked to perfection, and the salmon special was seasoned perfectly. Not our first visit, and it won’t be our last. A one-​of-​a-​kind place to enjoy with family and friends.

Terrific restaurant, great service and the food is consistently good. I had seafood chowder and shrimp with curry that were both outstanding, and the wine list is reasonably priced. Unfortunately they were out of the duck, it was the Labor Day weekend, but the variety and quality of food is always good.

Had an amazing dinner here with my new wife following our wedding in Southampton. Absolutely gorgeous views from a quaint home-​turned-​restaurant. Impeccable service including a table visit from the chef. I had the seafood pot pie… perfect, including a lobster shape baked into the top of the crust! My beautiful new wife had the chicken and gravy… delicious as well. Desert (not my usual choice) was fantastic! Will definitely be returning next year for our 1 yr anniversary! PS… They have cabins for rent as well, including dock space!

Am I biased because I personally like Cheffe Collette? Nah. Am I blinded by the sheer fact that they have impressed me with there incredible edible delicacies? Nah.
OK. I am. So I lied. I’m very biased.
Fantastic food. Fantastic price. Outstanding service. Ask the Cheffe anything, anything, I dare you… and she will make interesting conversation!
Tell them the Count sent you.

A hidden gem. As we drove around looking for a waterfront restaurant we stumbled onto this beautiful place. Great outdoor seating on the waterfront.
The staff was friendly and the views were picturesque. The food was also impressive. A little pricey but I guess we are in the Hamptons. Fried chicken with a southern style cream sauce was a hit. The accompanying mashed potatoes and spinach was special. Homemade deserts delicious. We had the chocolate cake and friends had the banana napoleon. Waitress tells us sunsets are famous there and the Sunday brunch also rocks. Enjoy.

FIrst visit was a mixed bag of hits and misses. The second visit sealed the deal… we’re NEVER going back. It was a Saturday nigh tin the summer and they are out of all their fish dishes except one. Out of 3 out of 4 fish dishes… and they are located right next to the best wholesale & retail fish market in the area (Cor-​J).
I decided to get a steamed lobster. They only have 2 pound lobsters and it’s $ 55. I went for it. The waiter asked me if I want melted butter. I said yes. He asked «but are you actually going to eat the butter?» He explained that the chef doesn’t like when people don’t touch the butter and it can’t be re-​used. Umm… I’m paying $ 55 for a lobster. Give me some butter and let me not eat it! Geez. Well I get my beautiful lobster, cracked it open, and all the roe was jet black… it was very undercooked. Had to send it back, wait and watch while my boyfriend finished his meal which was «just ok.»
I finally got my lobster back, and it’s cooked, but it’s completely dried out since they put an opened lobster into a hot oven. It had no juice left in it. What a waste! and to top it off, the precious hot drawn butter which was sitting on a cut little candle, tasted off… like blue cheese. No wonder the chef sees a lot of un-​eaten butter. She’s serving bad butter.
My boyfriend and I each ate are meals separately because they didn’t know how to cook a lobster, but what bothered me the most was the absence of an apology.

IM AN IDIOT. A TOTAL DOLT! Ive lived down the road from this little gem of a restaurant for 9 years and ive never been. Now, THEY ARE STUCK WITH ME…
One of the best meals Ive had in years! Yes, great view and a lovely little in set right on the edge of Tiana Bay, excellent and cordial service but people listen to me — THE FOOD WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE HOOK!!!
Flash fried tapioca served with hoisin in place of bread was a real hit. Fried oysters in croissant batter with an excellent remoulade was terrific, Black and blue sesame tuna as sushi grade and was done perfectly but was blew me out of the water was the Perfectly roasted duck with a marshmallow glaze. Is there anything bad in that sentence? Nope! I ate everything on the plate. Clean. Arguably the best duck ive ever had and thats coming from someone who remembers my first duck l’orange (1978 at the red bank yacht club in new jersey — for the record). And this duck made me quack like crazy!!!
This is an inventive and sophisticated kitchen without being pretentious on any level! Thats a tough combination! Ill be back there next weekend ready for their chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy. After that, their pot pie with lobster, shrimps and scallops. (Yes, I memorized their menu after reading it once!). They even went out a bought a smoker truck and I think they mentioned that there was an upcoming «duck night» — 7 courses each based on duck! Im sorry, but Ill now be checking my emails on a daily basis waiting for the date announcement!
Chef Colette didnt hit a home run — she hit a grand slam with three on and two out in the bottom of the ninth and the ball hasnt landed!
Well Done!!!

I simply LOVE this place. It hits high marks for ambiance, friendly service, great food and fantastic views of Shinnecock Bay.
I love the fact that you can get great food and wine without breaking the bank.
