My wife and I were meeting a friend who lives in Laurel for dinner. We researched local restaurants…read moreand came across the Watershed Kitchen and Inn on OpenTable. The description of the restaurant, the menus and the reviews online made us to decide to give them a try. We're so glad that we did! We entered through the bar entrance which was lively but not crazy loud. There was a musician setting up in one corner of the bar area. We could hear him during our dinner but it was not at all distracting (and he was quite good). We were greeted by one of the hosts (who I now believe may be one of the owners). We were welcomed and escorted to a table in the dining room right behind the bar area. From what I could determine, there were at least two other dining areas and an outside dining area (for dining during the nicer weather). Our server quickly came to welcome us, ask if we had questions about the menu / specials and to take our drink order. She was attentive, pleasant and was able to quickly and accurately answer questions that we had (we have some dietary restrictions and needed to verify some ingredients. She knew immediately what we could order to dine safely. We started our order with the Chiccharon appetizer. I had anticipated that the item would be traditional crispy Chiccaron. Instead the dish was more of a pork belly in a broth. We actually enjoyed that much more! It was plentiful, cooked to perfection and flavorful. For dinner my wife and our friend ordered the sea bass special. They both thought it was plentiful, perfectly prepared and tasted great. I ordered the pork chop with spicy cherry peppers in a light evoo broth. I told our server that I wasn't eating potatoes or rice and asked for a recommendation for a substitute. She recommended the broccolini which was a perfect alternative. My pork chop was served perfectly (medium, juicy,) and was huge! We passed on dessert but the options looked amazing. We will absolutely be back again SOON. Thank you.

There was a hair in it (I've worked in a restaurant before so I was extremely understanding about that). I sent it back for a new one and they took it off the bill without me asking. My husband ordered the burger and he devoured it. The truffle fries are a must. Last time they had a better more varied beer selection. This time they only had one IPA on tap but it was good. Overall a great experience and I'd come back again!

I was looking for a restaurant in the Mattituck area after visiting a nearby farm with the family…read more I found a restaurant that was nearby and we walked aground the area to see what was there. The restaurant we originally picked had a 20 minute wait... and with two hangry toddlers, we crossed the street and saw a restaurant sign on top of a neat looking bar. It is actually next to a bar as well, so we eyeing sure it was for the kids. I stood outside and the clock struck 2pm, and a nice gentleman opened the velvet rope for us and said "come in, we were open." Not knowing if this was for the kids or not, we walked in and saw one of the most interesting interiors I have seen in awhile. It was fun and different. The manager made it fun as well as he has a great attitude and happy to help in terms of recommendations. The menu itself is big and you will need some help. The first thing was needing to get food to two little hangry ones, so we asked for noodles, which he got on immediately, getting in a pancit order. That came out first and my wife and I took a few extended moments as the menu is extensive. I ordered the chicken and waffle with bang bang shrimp and my wife had the steak with rice and onions. Both dishes were flavorful and definitely enjoyable. I could definitely go back in again if I ever head back or East, but maybe taking the Long Island railroad would be better since it is across the street from the train station. Definitely stop in for a drink and enjoy the cool little toys and designs around the restaurant. This restaurant definitely provides variety of you want to try something new!

Wonderful new place with a varied menu…read more This is something the North Fork needs more of. Not your usual fare, but with quite a few familiar favorites as well. Lots of parking, unique decor, with a friendly staff. We ordered a few Filipino dishes like sisig, chicken inasal, fried lumpia, and regular stuff like fried mushrooms and disco fries. Everything was wonderful and tasted great. The new place definitely has growing pains, sometimes apps came out with the entrees, silverware and plates came after the courses, took a while for our bill to come, but these are little things that will be taken care of once they have a proper waitstaff. We're definitely going to be back.

Ample parking, the fireplace was blazing, very nice atmosphere. We were greeted and sat right away, and our orders came out in a very reasonable amount of time. We told our server to just bring them out as they were ready. A couple pints of Guinness and Loaded Nachos came first, then a Beet & Goat Cheese salad, and a Smash Burger w bacon followed shortly after. We ate everything. The food was great, the nachos were fairly loaded (beef), the beet and goat cheese salad was perfect, and the burger was done just right. Fries were ok. They also had live music that evening, and I didn't get the name of the performer but she was amazing. She played continuously for the whole time we were there, no breaks, and she just transitioned from one song to the next. We'll be back.

The place is definitely dated, and not fancy, but that's what gives it its local charm. It has an old school, neighborhood joint feel, where locals have probably been coming for years and the staff knows everyone by name! We brought our 21 month old son and he was accommodated with a high chair and kid-friendly dining options. He ate every last bite of his fried shrimp and sweet potato fries. My husband and I shared the Kickin' Oysters app which were sooo good, that I wish there were more in the order. My son enjoyed his shrimp dipped in the oyster app sauce. We then got the marinated steak dinners, and mine was surf and turf with a decent size succulent lobster tail. The steaks came with salad, corn, and a potato. The marinated steaks were delicious. Juicy and cooked just how we requested with good flavor and char too. My lobster tail was cooked perfectly. After all that, we also managed to eat dessert. The cheesecake was our choice. It was okay, not homemade, but good enough to round out a delicious steak meal! Servers were friendly, and food came out quickly! If you want a no-frills but yummy steak dinner out on the North Fork, go here!

I opted to get a marinated steak over a calabrese salad with mozzarella, tomato and red peppers with a balsamic dressing. The steak was delicious, and marinated to perfection. The waitresses were kind and the atmosphere is real homey. That's part of the attraction for me. Nothing changes, while everything else in the area is losing its rural character, you can go into Cliffs and reminisce the old days on the North Fork. I was there many times with my husband and friends and it feels like yesterday. I hope it always stays the same. To top it off, I had a slice of the chocolate cake for dessert. It was a happy ending for sure. Go to Cliffs Elbow Room if you're in Jamesport and want a good steak.
