tables and chairs in a restaurant
Christopher P.

This spot was recommended by a close friend from the area so we gave it a try. When we got there, we realized why he had recommended it to us; the spot opens up directly to the seaport, giving us an entire view of the ocean (and CT if you squint enough), which is really a sight to take in while you dine in. There is also a cozy park in front of the entrance of this spot so if you have to wait for seating, you can spend some time here or by the pier taking selfies at the oceanside. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they were attentive to our needs and accommodating to folks like us traveling with our cubbies - crayons and paper. In terms of food, I would say it was okay. The oysters were good but it is hard to find a place in Long Island with bad oysters. Fried calamari was tasty but nothing stand out, the clam chowder was a bit watery but fresh, their burgers were very tasty (I enjoyed this one a lot), but the surprising standout was their chicken tenders - delegated for the cubbies. I was a bit taken aback that they didn't have fish and chips on their menu in spite of their very well-fried chicken tenders. I can really imagine a standout item using the same fried batter using some local fish. I imagine I would be coming back again and again for such a dish~ Takeaway, the location and service are really great, the food is slightly lacking in terms of pace of those features, but I can really see a lot of potential in their menu by using what they already have in place!

Clam linguine

Ferryman's grille offers a really good dining experience. They revamped some things and it was all for the better. We started with the calamari that was fresh and crispy, bursting with flavor. The clam linguine had perfectly cooked pasta and plump, juicy clams in a flavorful sauce. The lobster roll had tender, succulent lobster on a toasted bun. The views from the restaurant were breathtaking, creating an enchanting atmosphere that made it even better! The frozen margarita was nice to cool off the heat. This is perfect for the summer. The service was great also, with attentive and friendly server. This place is a must-visit for exceptional dining in a picturesque waterfront setting in Port Jeff.

Lobster roll and chicken wings appetizer

We went her on a busy holiday for dinner, no reservations so we were seated inside.. no wait.. service was slow.. food is good.. we both ordered lobster roll.. they made a mistake with our chicken wing order but we didn't bother returning since we waited forever for it.... The lemonade taste weird.. ambiance is nice with a band playing by the marina.. good spot at port Jefferson for a nice date..

The Ferryman's Grille is a decent little spot right on the waterfront. It has a historic feel to with an open and airy feel. There are plenty of windows to help enjoy the view in nicer days. The menu is fairly simple and short but there are decent options for most appetites. The service was friendly and professional and the food came out relatively quickly. Everyone at the table seemed more than happy with their selection. It's a good option for dinner whether you're in your own or in a larger group.

Room was freezing, half of my meal was ice cold, way over priced for the quality and portion of food.

The ambiance was nice. The food could have been more impressive. The waitress was inattentive.

Very uninspired. Plus, the wine by the glass menu showed the same selections as one would get at a gas station or CVS.

Not very good food. Service was quite good but did not make up for the mediocre food.

*January 2026 Restaurant Week*…read more My wife's bestie made plans for the (4) of us to meet for dinner. We all live close so Fifth Season Restaurant was chosen. I haven't been here in a very long time so I'm excited to see how the restaurant has stayed in business over the years. We are shown to our table upstairs. The bar area on a Friday night looks fun and active. There's great views of Port Jefferson harbor so the restaurant ambiance is nice. We're seated and are given restaurant week menus as well as the wine/cocktail list. Listen, It's Friday nite and I don't want a wine cooler! Give to me a standard Martini stirred (Shaken is just dumb) with stuffed blue cheese olives. The ladies order appletini's and we're ready to order off the restaurant week menu. The menu has a nice selection of different offerings, I'm into all things local so I'm going to start with the beet salad and Red Snapper. The beet salad was loaded with beets! I love beets, they did a good job with this started dish. I must point out, the dish must have been prepped earlier in the day. The green salad was slighty wilted when served to me. The Red Snapper, what is that sauce on top? And the fish was sitting on a bunch of zoodles?? The fish wasn't seasoned, it wasn't very flavorful. I'm eating around the zoodles, meh. The cheesecake I ordered, it was also just a standard dessert. I didn't finish the fish or my dessert. Review is over, Fifth Season Restaurant? See you in another 5 years.

The restaurant itself was very nice. Two stories and we dined on the second floor. They had a few…read morespecials that sounded good. The complementary Crostini was great. The salads we felt were small for the price but were tasty. The main course was delicious and a nice portion. However the small portions continued when we moved over to dessert, which was very overpriced for what you got. The service was also kind of slow. I think they need more wait staff.

It was comfort food with a fun spicy twist and very filling. The mac and cheese tacos were massive, loaded, and topped with bacon. The atmosphere felt casual and unapologetic, which fit the style of the food well. Service was straightforward and smooth during the visit, making it easy to just enjoy the meal. Overall, this was diner food done unapologetically and satisfying from start to finish.
