We came as a group of seven, and they split us between two tables, saying there weren't any other seats available. However, the table right next to us remained empty for almost the entire time we were there. They could have easily accommodated our group but chose not to. The place also looks old and could use a good cleaning. The staff weren't wearing consistent uniforms, which added to the overall impression. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good either. The only positives from our experience were the location and the lady who helped us, who was very nice and friendly. read more

5 of us ate at Sag Harbor Tavern. We had a reservation to sit outside, but when we got there, they told us they didn't have a table for us outside, despite open tables outside. they seated us right near the blaring music; we asked them to turn it down and they did a little bit. the food took forever to arrive and when we complained, they unceremoniously dropped the mussels, cold, on the table. We complained and they reheated them and dropped it in the table rudely. Bad service, lousy food. I suggest finding another place to eat. read more

This place is the epitome of being in a popular area & not caring about true customer service. I should've known what to expect seeing the ghetto American Legion sign. This is NOT the best burger nor does it come close. Sorry not sorry! The burger was cooked to the right temp inside but was VERY charred. Gross. Chicken Cesar was very mid as well. The service was strange, rude, & very unprofessional. They were literally playing rap music the entire time. We asked to change it to anything else. The host said okay, NEVER said anything & continued playing the music. Despite the managers knowing this issue, no one apologizes or thought it was strange. Google The song by Wu-Tang called "ice cream", I kid you not this was the last song playing when we left. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE AT ALL, especially with the number of places to eat nearby. Don't believe the hype at all. read more

This American Legion Hall turned restaurant is said to have the best burger in town. It's a very good burger indeed, but can't say whether it's the best. The salads are very good particularly the Romaine wedge. The Kale salad however is just one big bowl of kale and nothing else, so while it might be a good option for rabbits one would expect more in a salad. Service was slow and distracted when we were there albeit it was very busy, attesting to the popularity of this establishment read more

Sag Harbor Tavern (or should I say "Lack luster Tavern") My boyfriend and I have been so excited to try Sag Harbor Tavern for quite some time and boy were we disappointed. We made a reservation a few weeks back for a party of 4 and all of us were so excited to try the food as we are familiar with Red Hook Tavern. Prior to our reservation I had checked out the menu online and I was elated to see the fish and chips! However, as we were being seated we were told that the fish and chips, and the clam chowder was sold out! So from there I decided I would order the wedge salad and a side of fries; the server told me she could not sell me fries as the restaurant was running low and they were saving them for customers that ordered sandwiches! (Well I wanted the fish and chips and you were sold out!) I should be able to purchase fries if you have them in stock! I was completely baffled that I could not order anything that i traveled all the way from Manhattan to try!! The majority of the table had the hamburger which they said was good. I just find the restaurant to be a complete disaster! Example: We all ordered martinis and the server told us that they do not put vermouth in their martini and when the drinks were delivered there was 100% vermouth and we could all taste it! We would never come back to Sag Harbor Tavern! As we are all disappointed by the entire experience. Hopefully Sag Harbor Tavern takes this feedback to heart and makes some serious changes! read more

Came here after I watched Bethenny Frankel make love to the Sag Harbor Tavern burger and wanted to do the same. I made a reservation during off season for a weekday lunch table. I'd initially requested indoors, but it was such a nice day that the restaurant decided to conduct outdoor service only which, honestly, was the right decision. Sag Harbor Tavern is situated on a scenic block off the main strip of Sag Harbor right by the water, so if you're coming here on a nice day definitely try to grab a table outside. Once we arrived we were promptly seated. We were here for one thing - The Sag Harbor Tavern Burger, but the deviled eggs with caviar caught our eye and we had to try those as well. Deviled eggs and caviar are a match made in heaven honestly, this was such an excellent bite that I wasn't even mad about paying $24 for eggs. It was finally time for the main attraction: The Sag Harbor Tavern Burger. The bun was crispy and toasted to perfection, the cheese was melted on to the bun, it was stacked with a perfectly caramelized slab of onion and god the burger itself just oozed with deliciousness. The outside of the burger is coated in a spice crust that I will dream about forever. I was honestly surprised at the low reviews here because aside from the excellent food, service was also friendly, helpful, and on point, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I'll definitley be back! read more

Situated at Sag Harbor, this restaurant serves delicious seafood with a modern ambience. We only ordered a few dishes since we weren't too hungry, but it was the perfect amount for us to share. We got: * Shrimp cocktail - 8/10: nice and refreshing on a hot summer day * Chopped Kale Salad - 9/10: surprisingly quite good since the texture was very interesting * Cavatelli - 7/10: the pasta was a little too chewy for me, but overall the flavor was great read more

This was SUCH a disappointment. I had heard great things. We didn't have a reservation, but were told we could be seated inside right away for lunch. The outside patio is modern and beautiful with a water view, so I was very surprised at how dark (honestly, dark not dim) and rundown the interior was. Someone approached us and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We did not even know if this was our waiter. He said, "What are you getting, the burger?" We said yes. We decided to share a burger and fish and chips and set aside our menus. After a very long time, probably about 40-45 minutes, the same person came back and took our order. When asked how we wanted the burger cooked, we said medium rare. He said it would be very pink inside and asked if that was ok. We said yes. Our waiter never checked on us, never told us the food would be out soon, nothing. It took a very long time to get our food. We finally got the food and the burger was medium-well to well done. We were so hungry that we didn't even flag down the waiter. We just ate. The waiter never came by. Every time he walked by us he did not make eye contact. We needed more ketchup and could not flag him down. Finally, we got ketchup from another waiter. We were completely ignored by our waiter. The service was terrible. And the food was just mediocre. That was not a $34 burger! Finally, another waiter came to clear our plates. He asked us how everything was. I told him that the burger was well done, but that we were too hungry to send it back. He did not apologize. And that was that. Never going back. read more

Food is incredible! Don't listen to the Karen's and city yuppies in these reviews. If you come here regularly they treat you very well! I pop in almost every weekend & the key is to sit at the bar for an easier experience. Getting a table especially during dinner can be tricky & service gets jammed. Food is much better now than when it used to be dockside, and the ambiance is very similar but looks more like the sister location in Red Hook. Leone & Damian at the bar are very nice & make great cocktails. Billy the owner is very nice too & sits by the bar at lunch sometimes. Was surprised to see the reviews, don't complain about the price when you are in sag harbor, its like complaining about the heat in the desert. read more

While visiting friends who live in Sag Harbor, we all had dinner at the Sag Harbor Tavern, which was supposed to have the "best burgers in town." Upon arrival, the restaurant hosts somehow managed to lose the fact that we had requested outdoor seating, and they subsequently spent about 15 minutes wandering around the restaurant looking for "alternatives" to outdoor seating, despite the fact that two large tables were available (and remained available) outside the whole time we were there. In the end, we were seated inside near a window, which was nice, but we were also seated below a speaker blaring Yacht Rock at 100 decibels. They did finally turn down the music, but the atmosphere inside was not remotely near that of outdoor seating. Our server was very nice but she seemed a little out of it. She took our drink orders and brought each one to the table separately, cocktail and beer for two people, then wine for the other three. We ordered salads, mussels, and burgers. The only redeeming part of the dinner was the wedge salads, which were very good. The rest of the meal came out one dish at a time, with the mussels coming out cold, and the burgers coming out charred. We sent the mussels back, fully intending to ask that they be taken off our bill, but a burly cook from the kitchen showed up some minutes later and rudely slammed down a pot of steaming mussels without saying a word. By that time, there was nothing they could have done to the mussels to make us want to eat them. We choked down the "best burgers in town," which were dry and overcooked, and couldn't wait to get out of the place. In summary, DO NOT waste your money eating at this overpriced restaurant serving low quality food. read more

Best burger I have had in years... it's as if NYCs JG Melons just came to the Hamptons, only bigger and juicer! If you know you know. Awesome cottage fries. I'm hooked. I highly recommend Sag Harbor Tavern read more

Was not worth it ... Bad Food (entrees were grossly overpriced for their quality) Bad Service (the "waiter" was clearing tables and talking to customers, and not coming by after I signed him for the check). Bad Atmosphere (much too nosey inside). Sink this ship! read more

I must say I wanted not to like the place because of the hype and somewhat confusing reservation system but it was fantastic. First of all we all went for the burger and it did not disappoint. Each of us had different temperatures and they were all spot on. Simply the best burger on the South Fork. Additionally we had the deviled eggs which were outstanding. But the mussels were to die for they were in a light red sauce with a hint of chorizo. We actually took the extra sauce home. We observed other foods coming out the cavatelli and bucatini looked delicious. The staff was great for a Memorial day weekend and I suspect they kept reservations at a minimum so that hey could provide such excellent service. Our waiter Juven was immensely helpful. Don't miss this summer spot. read more

I would have given 5 stars but the hostess was awkward and rude. We booked a table inside and upon arriving were told that we were wrong and sat outside. She gaslit us and told us we were lying and that she "can promise we arent on the books for inside". We spoke to people around us and it seems that the same thing happened to everyone. She was extremely unclear and rude and demanded proof that we booked inside. Other than that, we had a lovely lunch. Our waitress was amazing and made up for the incompetence of the hostess who absolutely shouldn't be working in customer service. read more

Went here in late august for dinner for the first time. But have been wanting to try since it opened this summer. Reservations were extremely hard to get but I would definitely recommend. We sat outside and the ambiance was really nice and quaint for such a large restaurant. The food was actually very good and I wanted to give them 5 starts, however, the service was very slow. We started off with the crudo which was delicious, so light and fresh. We shared the burger and the oxtail cavatelli for our mains. Both were amazing. The burger is obviously what they are known for and it definitely lives up to the hype, and that is also coming from someone who generally perfers a smash burger. The cavatelli is what stood out to me the most as it was very creative but the flavors blended toghther so well, they made a very adventourous sounding dish extremely comforting. I will for sure be going back and trying the oysters, french onion soup, mussels, and the branzino also looked amazing. But everything I have already tried is definitely a reorder. read more

Decided to try Sag Harbor Tavern in The Hamptons. Parked at a lot that wasn't too far away that had 3-hour free parking. We did not have reservations. We walked up to the host and she was more than happy to seat us but she continuously got interrupted twice by 2 parties that would walk past her so we kept getting sideswiped, which I didn't appreciate. When we finally got seated at the bar, our bartender was playing triple duty. She was a bartender, busser, and our waitress. She was top notch and handled everything well. Food came out great and the prime rib dip was delicious, large, and flavorful. read more

Dinner at Sag Harbor Tavern was a bit of a mixed bag. The Branzino deserves a special mention--it might just be the best preparation on the East End. Perfectly executed, flavorful, and memorable. That said, it was also one of the smallest portions I've come across, so you're trading quality for quantity. On the wine front, things fell flat. The list was virtually non-existent. The explanation? Off-season, limited stock. Understandable, but still disappointing--especially when wine should be part of the dining experience year-round. Service, however, was excellent. The staff was warm and attentive, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing--every plate that came out was spot-on. The one thing that lingered a bit too much was the price point. It feels excessive for what's being offered in the current off-season. Maybe tighten that up when the village is quieter, then raise the sails again when all the ducks are back in a row. All in all, a place with high points (that Branzino!) but also some areas that need smoothing out to match the price tag. read more

Breaks my heart the service and the night I had here, our drinks were delayed which is okay but our server the younger Colombian woman forgot one of our mains and brushed it off like it was our fault, after waiting 30 mins I asked for a to go to take my main home she responded " oh you're sure ? " yes I'm sure after waiting so long I just wanna go home. I love the Tavern in red hook but this the location in Sag is a joke, the picture is me and my friend splitting my Main because his food was never ordered so we shared, no apologies no recovery just a simple go away. read more

As a single diner it was nice to walk in to see the bar set for dining. The interior has been decorated warmly, more the design of someone's home than a tavern, but very welcoming. I ordered the prawns and an Aperol Spritz. The drink was large and well-balanced, appropriately priced for The Hamptons (or pretty much anywhere now) and the prawns came out in a timely manner, were cooked perfectly, the sauce so nice. I was thankful for the accompanying, perfectly grilled, sourdough bread to get every possible drop of sauce. Christy, a bartender you may recognize from other Hampton locations, is a treasure, and her behind the bar work mate tonight, Tia, was extremely pleasant and cordial. Will most definitely be back! read more

The Server was the rudest I ever had! I asked to add chicken to a salad. His answer was "NO" I asked no? He said 'NO!" He told me chicken could be added t one salad (for $12) and it acme on another salad but I could not order it on the salad I wanted. This makes no sense from a business standpoint. I would have paid the $12... This restaurant adds a 25% tip so he had no incentive to go out of his way for the paying customer. The salad was very tasty. I have many food allergies. I asked for no cheese and no croutons. I was going to take the bacon off and offer it to a fellow diner and add the chicken. So all I had to eat was romaine lettuce with the dressing. We will not be returning. read more

There's a reason why this is a difficult reservation to get- the setting, the food and the service! Our server Jessica was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with describing the menu. Of course you can order a burger, but please try the grilled prawns- they are perfect and the pasta choices are solid. I recommend the Bucatini with clams and crab- so light and delicious. There's something magical about siiting outside staring at the boats in the marina and all of Sag Harbor walking by. read more

Very disappointed We didn't realize we arrived 5 minutes before opening so when we walked up to the hostess we were told they were not open yet, when she walked away we saw her make a annoyed body gesture to her coworker, this action alone ticked off our mood for the rest of the dining experience Staff did not pay attention, had to wait 20 minutes just to place our order food came out in 30 minutes, Ordered medium rare got very well done, The fries were cold, Burger was bland, (Not worth anywhere near 34$) The oxtail was way too salty Waiter never checked in with us read more

Attitude, prices, comfort need improvement! Too much hype and unfriendly environment.

$30 burger was great. $12 for bacon on it was not. Wasn't told. Isn't listed/priced on the menu. Was kind of a sticker shock at the end. So go. But bring a Brinks truck. read more

Terrible...service choppy, food awful, atmosphere is fine. Menu is limited. Definitely over sold on the internet and not worth the visit

Delicious food items and friendly and courteous servers. Wonderful location, near the dock.

Amazing food. Love the wedge salad! Elegant casual staff. Great location across from the water

Service for $34 burgers and $16 glasses of wine was absolutely dismal. Waiter (very tall, male) ignored us until he couldn't any longer, then hurriedly approached our table quickly asking "what would you like to eat?" No menu info, offer for drinks, intro, etc. He practically threw a glass of wine down and ran away, later in the evening. Burgers were outstanding and memorable, but I have never been so ignored and ostracized by a wait staff. The party of 10 nearby seemed to be getting plenty of attention. Would not bother with this place, sadly. read more

Sag Harbor Tavern started out with a great vibe and friendly service. The staff was attentive and provided helpful recommendations, which initially set a positive tone for the evening. The ambiance, while fitting the tavern theme, was exceedingly dark, making it difficult to read the menu, especially with some walls painted completely black. The reservation policy was also perplexing; requiring reservations just to have a drink at the bar seemed counterintuitive for a place branded as a tavern, especially during a busy Memorial Day weekend. The experience presented a mix of highs and lows. The croquettes were exceptional, featuring a well-balanced blend of dijonnaise, aged cheddar, and ham, which created a delightful flavor profile. This appetizer raised expectations for the meal, but unfortunately, the main courses did not meet the same standard. The highly anticipated $30 burger, despite being made with dry-aged beef, was a letdown. The burger was bland and only came with white onion and American cheese, lacking any additional toppings or special sauces that would justify its price. For $30, one would expect a more luxurious selection of dressing, such as premium cheeses, lettuce, tomato, etc. The toasted bun, while airy and soft, did little to elevate the overall experience. In comparison, a fully dressed burger at McDonald's offers more. Additionally, I have never in my life seen a place that prices its burger higher than fish and chips. The presence of burnt bits on my fries from the fryer further detracted from the meal. The fish and chips, priced at $28, also fell short. The thin batter, although crispy, did not adhere well to the fish, which tasted less fresh than expected. The same uninspired cottage fries accompanied the dish, lacking both flavor and texture. The overall blandness of the dishes highlighted a need for significant improvement in both flavor and presentation. In summary, while the opening weekend may account for some of the shortcomings, the experience at Sag Harbor Tavern was underwhelming. The potential is there, particularly with standout items like the croquettes, but much work is needed to elevate the main courses to match the initial promise. The burger, which is supposed to be a highlight, was particularly disappointing given its high price and lackluster execution. Until substantial improvements are made, I would hesitate to recommend this establishment and might consider revisiting in a few months to see if the necessary changes have been implemented. read more

Should not be called a tavern. It's an expensive restaurant with zero local charm. Disappointing.

So here's the Deal. One star for the underhanded bacon price. Ordered a burger, $34!! Waiter asks if I'd like bacon, and for $34 I figured it was an add-on. Burger condiments are not on the menu, nothing extra for a price so of course bacon. The check comes, Burger $48.00. Oh by the way, the strip of bacon was $14.00? The waiter said nothing about the upcharge! It wasn't on the Menu, What a scam! read more

You must be kidding me. Sure the Hamptons are expensive but you can fill a $27.00 glass of wine with more than a thimble. I kid you not; it looked like the amount of a tester taste when you order a bottle. Food just alright, overpriced and comically stingy portions. May I also add the staff seems like they are working against the guests? Good view. That is all. read more

Saw this restaurant on social media. Not worth the hype and especially not for the price. They were out of the wedge salad, not sure how when they suggested a caesar salad instead and the famous burgers were nothing special. The chicken on the caesar salad was barely cooked and rubbery. The only good thing were the french fries. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, the service there was awful whenI checked to see if the food i was about to order had mushroom in it since i am allergic to them the waiter simply rolled her eyes then answered.

The service here was really meh. The burger took like an hour and in my opinion, was not worth the hype. It was a good burger for sure, but the atmosphere kind of threw it off for me. This place feels like Publick House in Southampton, not a renowned Tavern. The oysters were also questionable. read more
