Casual artsy vibe with French inspired dishes. Service was excellent and it's a smaller place so there's no reason for it to be anything other than an excellent. I got the ribeye. It was very good and cooked perfectly. It's not among a top burger/ beef blend so it was not excellent or rememberable. My husband got the duck breast and leg confit and he loved it, was not dry at all. The food was beautifuly plated. The only thing that sucks for this area is the parking situation, but that's not the restaurants fault! read more

The Quick: The Friday martini spot, need I say more? Such a great vibe, amazing food, and the staff is just wonderful. Love it! For a date night, drink at the bar, or whenever parents are visiting The Details: Such a great local spot! The food is incredible with a few popular Staples and then different specials rotating in and out. They always have two vegan entree options And the chef is very accommodating. Our meat Loving friends have plenty of options and always leave happy as well. Seriously though, if you're over 21, get a dirty martini, the bartenders fantastic The Damage: reasonable for the area, especially with proximity to the Hamptons read more

just had dinner there before going to the Gateway to see a show My meal was inedible. The chicken meatballs tasted like artificial bread /fillers. My husbands meal was delicious- cavetelli with sausage & peas. The waiter never came to ask how are meal was. Another waiter/bus boy asked if we were finished and if i wanted it wrapped to go it was t touched with the exception of 1 meatball that my husband and i shared bc it tasted off to me. very disappointing as it was our first time here going to the Gateway. We just looked up close by restaurants Tge maître d' wasn't walking around to see how the meals were... it's a shame bc its an eclectic house / restaurant on Main street read more

Good food Good atmosphere, cozy quaint Staff is fantastic and attentive Overall delightful restaurant Maybe a little pricey read more

I can not possibly write the review this restaurant deserves but i will try. Everything from the minute we walked in until we left we perfect. The hostess Ali was so kind and even though we came on a Friday at dinner time didn't make us feel awkward for not having a reservation and was able to quickly accomaodate us. The restaurant was busy but you would never know it because the service was impeccable. We asked for suggestions and were very happy with the guidance we were given. We have the wedge salad, the cacio e pepe and the fench onion short rib. Each dish was amazing! We haven't stopped talking about our experience there and i can't stop craving the pasta!!!! I also happen tk know they have 2 excellent vegan items that come Highly recommended. read more

Disappointed...sorry had a bad experience last year and my daughter who came to visit this weekend from Philadelphia wanted to give it another go.. unfortunately nothing changed ..cold food brought to table and wine delivered to table after we finished.."Are you still working on it" phrase used by employee's which Anthony Bourdain called an insult to the chief..(insinuating food was so poor you needed to work to eat it) Anyhow very disappointing $400.00 evening read more

Charming atmosphere and diverse, extensive and interesting menu options. Food was tasty though I was not wowed by it (I had the Canadian mussels as an entrée - mussels were ok, accompanying fries were nicely seasoned and crisp). The burger ordered at our table was substantial in size but lacking in cheese requested. Service was slow though our waitress did apologize for some of the shortcomings and comped us for the wine that was ordered that did not come until right before the dinner was served. One meal at our table was made to order but short on requested ingredients. Maybe it was just a bad night (a weeknight but very busy), possibly short-staffed? Will perhaps try when back in town off-season. read more

This was our first time here. It was such a gorgeous house surrounded by light and beautiful windows. The staff was kind and courteous. The best part was the food. My husband had a pasta dish and I had the tikka masala. We were so pleased with the portion size and the delicious flavor. We walked out happy and full. read more

BUT-THE FOOD!!! each plate unique in it's own right and all delicious... Which one was best you ask? All of 'em... It must have been expensive you might say! ... nope, in our opinion one of the best values on LI! When is the best time to go you ask? NOW... ENJOY! read more

This gem of a restaurant is easy to find and has plenty of available street parking. The place was nice and empty at 5:30 pm on a cold, winter Saturday evening, just after sunset. We dined in a four-season sunroom with round wood chairs and ceiling fans, and the tables were spaced far apart. The chair I sat in was relatively small, so I felt uncomfortable. We sat right next to a wood burning stove that radiated heat right on to our table. I am so glad that I was wearing a short sleeved shirt; otherwise, I would have been sweating. The drink, dinner and dessert menus are eclectic. Some dinner menu choices: pâté with Dijon mustard, marinated red onions and toast points; Bucatini Cacio e Pepe; corn-crusted oysters with fresh corn cream sauce to Pecorino-crusted codfish with a zucchini cream. Jazz background music was playing as waitstaff served customers. Patrick, our waiter, provided impressive service by promptly serving us sourdough and olive dinner rolls and hard butter. He also continuously replenished our water. I had the oysters for a starter, and the Apfelkuchen for dessert. Both were decent. My dining companion, Yelper Lisa A, had the roast Scottish salmon and the peanut butter mousse in a chocolate cup. She also had a cocktail. The entrées took at least 20 minutes, but the desserts came out in less than 10. Thanks, Patrick, for verbalizing two pronunciations for Apfelkuchen (apple cake). The "ch" is pronounced "sh" or "k", depending on the German dialect. He was knowledgeable, friendly and unpretentious. Prices were "Hamptons like". For example, the oyster appetizer was $17.75. I know of other restaurants on the South Shore that charge significantly less for similar oyster starters. This place is good for date night because of the open, airy and fun atmosphere. I am giving this place four stars. The missing fifth star is because of the overpriced menu and uncomfortable seating. read more

The Bellport is a must when you're in Bellport Village! Excellent American fare. I came for an early dinner with cocktails. I tried the brussels sprouts and the beet hummus to start, the duck for my main, and a couple of cocktails. I sat in a cozy and bright dining area in an enclosed patio-like room. Friendly staff! read more

We were greeted warmly seated at the bar. We ordered cocktails which were average. The mussels and clam chowder were good but not full of flavor. Spinach salad was very good. Steak dish which was expensive was below par. Meat was cut with grain and tasted more like pot roast. We have enjoyed this restaurant previously. Staff is friendly and warm. read more

Well here I am after seeing a spectacular show at the Gateway Playhouse. The Little Mermaid was just wonderful. Beautiful . The visual effects were superb. So we've ordered a2016 Chateau Tour d'Auron Bordeaux. It's ok not spectacular. I think if it was chilled a bit, it would have been better Our starters are fried oysters. My son loved them fried and crispy My mushrooms were a non-event. No real taste. Disappointed I originally order the duck medium rare , but the waitress comes back to say its crispy and well done. Ok time for Plan B...the crispy buttermilk fried chicken. It's done nicely but nothing special. My son orders the short rib. I try it and it tastes overdone. Ok sorry to say we're not impressed with this restaurant, and I wanted to be. The ambiance was great but they need to work on the food. A lot read more

I came here with a fellow Yelper , Gail. I arrived first and was greeted by a very welcoming waiter Patrick. He told me to pick anywhere to sit , so I choose seating close to the wonderful wood burning stove. I was very comfortable and toasty next to the stove but then again I'm always cold so this was perfect for me. The menu is on their website , you can scan the QR code or go right to the site to the menu section. I ordered the salmon and peanut butter mousse. The salmon was fresh , there was a thick layer of aioli on top which I scraped most of it off. The lentils were a nice addition to the salmon but just a little too lemony. The peanut butter mousse was good with the chocolate shell. The mousse was light and not too thick. My drink , apricot fizz, was very tasty, which I enjoyed. It was made with Bombay sapphire fine, apricot brandy and topped with soda, on the rocks of course. I was comfortable there although my friend got too hot near the wood burning stove. I enjoyed the waiter and his cordiality to us. He even took the time to teach us how to pronounce the word Apfelkuchen. Which him and Gail had two different ways of pronouncing it. Gail did order the apple cake but didn't care for it and changed to the apple cobbler which she enjoyed. Patrick presented us with a check minus the price of the desserts. That was very kind of him. I enjoyed my time there. It was money well spent. It's a quaint place, they played Smile by Madeleine Peyroux in the background and similar songs. For my food and drink I paid a total of $41 and change. Not bad. read more

Had a lovely meal there last night with a friend. There was plenty of seating and I was told to choose a seat that I liked. They brought out some really delicious homemade bread. The staff didn't make us feel rushed at all. They brought us menus and the wine list. They have a nice selection of wines. They also have a full bar. They don't have a drink menu, but will make anything within reason that you request. We both had the short ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was so tasty and tender. The veggies were cooked perfectly. It's got a cute decor and the staff are friendly. I'll definitely be back. read more

Got to the restaurant and the water glasses were all dirty. One actual had lipstick stains. The waitress was annoyed that we asked for new glasses. After that the rest of the experience was not good. Brought over bread basket and instead of putting it down we were asked if we wanted a piece. Mussels frites was dry and tasteless, not fresh and basically covered in olive oil and garlic. Monk fish special was not good Braised ribs were bland. Would never go back and would not recommend. . read more

We finally decided to try this place out and couldn't be happier. If the Sage Cafe in Blue Point is a college frat boy, The Bellport is what happens when that boy grows up, sees the world, gets some culture and makes good. It has the same eclectic vibe: non-matching tables and chairs, odd pieces of art (or, should I say, "objet d'art"?), paintings. But they all somehow work together and create very warm, cozy and friendly vibe. Upon entering through a small vestibule, you immediately enter the main dining area. A nice-looking bar stretches along one side. Re-purposed porches make additional dining areas on the eastern and western sides of the building. The hostess greeted us and sat us right away in the "west porch". She seemed very friendly and jocular which clashed with an earlier, negative review. The joint rapidly filled with what seemed to be a well-heeled, older crowd so we were happy that we had made reservations. The menu is NOT handwritten though the daily specials are. I honestly don't understand the previous gripe concerning this. I might agree if it was as illegible as a doctor's handwriting and was scribbled on a used cocktail napkin but the presentation was honestly fine. I mean, it's a non-entity. I only felt like I needed to bring it up because I was expecting some travesty of penmanship based on the previous review. I can't believe I spent this much time writing about it. Let's move forward, shall we? We ordered the pâté to start. After being disappointed by the pâté at Le Soir (allegedly a bona fide french resto) I wasn't sure what to expect. But the Bellport really hit this one out of the park! Made fresh on premises (per their menu), the pâté was generously portioned and came on a bed of lightly dressed greens wi/ small wedges of cheese (unremarkable but tasty nonetheless), little, garlicky pickles and some really good dijon (though I would skip this as it masks the natural taste of the pâté too much). Crunchy, toasty bread rode shotgun. I could have eaten this all night. I could have sat there and ordered plate after plate of this stuff and earned the nickname Pâté Boy. But there were other delicious things to eat as well. For the main course, we both had the duck. The breast came perfectly cooked, moist & flavorful. I think we were accustomed to the l'Orange preparation so it wasn't what we were expecting but it was excellently done nonetheless. A crispy confit leg accompanied the breast. I enjoyed this immensely and had to restrain myself from grabbing it with my mitts and going to town like I was at a wing-eating contest. The only knock is that it was EXTREMELY salty. I could feel my blood pressure rise with each, delicious mouthful. But hey! That's what Avapro is for! For dessert, we had some sort of bread pudding. It was tasty but fell short when compared to the other courses. The only uncool thing is that it seems they charged a sharing fee for the dessert. I could be mistaken but the dessert was supposed to be $6 and the bill listed "2 Afters. $12". Since this resto is a bit on the pricey side, I can see how a sharing charge might be expected. But for dessert, it seems excessive, especially since the patrons (us) didn't really skimp on anything. But no matter. Lesson learned. I do have to say that the waitstaff BUSTS THEIR COLLECTIVE ASSES. The busboy was constantly running bread, refilling water and clearing tables. Our waitress was very pleasant, attentive and also running around at a pace that would make Speedy Gonzalez hopped up on amphetamines seem positively soporific! My wife wanted to hire her for her store. Thank them for their excellent service by leaving a comparable tip. Though I stated the restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, it's still not very bad at all and is a great value for the quality of food and the ambiance. Dinner for 2, including a bottle of wine and the sharing fee for dessert was about $130. This would be a nice place to commemorate an event, bring visiting relatives or go for date night. That being said, this is assuming your date is someone you are married to or have been with a while and are past the initial stages of wooing and courting. Though the ambiance is funky, fun and and cozy, the place is LOUD. This is no good if you're still trying to get to know the person across the table from you but is perfectly fine for when things no longer need to be said. In that case, the comfortable din can be a blessing. That and the pâté. Well done, Bellport. You'll see us again! read more

Great.... The Bellport is as good as crowned royalty to the local community and for good reason. Young and always friendly staff give this place the extra boost. Dessert that rivals others as well as interesting options for your meal. Handwritten menus and other details give this place a unique edge. I'm not a big fan of the drinks as we had a chocolate martini and a glass of Malbec. The Malbec was one of the worst I've ever had which are hard to come by, and the martini wasn't much better, it's wine selection and bar skills I suppose. The owner is super kind, super friendly, and always finds a way to live on the lighter side of life, giggling at things, and enjoying the precious moments in the restaurant. The food is always always fresh and the prices are in line with the portions and food quality. I haven't ordered anything I could push away before I've gobbled it all up. We got a special that was similar to the regular item dish (linguini and clams) but the special menu said chopped clams, only to be served the full she'll and clams on top of the pasta... It was fantastic but not really what the menu indicated, at first glance we were a little worried as its not our cup of tea but these were really well cleaned and super fresh! It was a great dish with lots of garlic. Bringing me to the next dish during our recent visit, another special of course, the hand written menu mentions poached garlic which is the only downfall of this dish being that there was absolutely no garlic in it... The pappardelle in a lemon yolk sauce was outstanding! The pancetta was high quality and melted in my mouth. It was tossed with arugula and asparagus, and supposedly poached garlic. The dish tasted great! That lemon yolk sauce really enriched the whole thing so well. The molten lava cake has been on that menu since I was a kid and I don't see them doing away with it, ever. We got it simply so we could pair it with the homemade icecream (eggnog last night was our choice) Servers always around and decently attentive, super warm and eclectic inside, is all I can really say. Super eclectic. This is a place that is what it is, always has been always will be... But elevated, and wonderful. Locals love it, and you'd enjoy it too! read more

The bell port was such a cute little restaurant, made me feel like I was in the movie. I started off with a cucumber martini and I get it's mostly vodka but wow I couldn't even drink half of it a bit toooooo strong for my liking my friend agreed! We started off with corn crusted fried oysters with a corn cream sauce! First time I had fried oysters and if you know me you know I love them! I enjoyed the corn cream sauce it was delicious the oysters were perfectly fried and crispy for my entree I had the mussels and forties with a garlic aioli, I wasn't impressed there was no sauce to the mussels and it was very bland, the French fries were crispy and well seasoned. My friend got the shrimp with polenta and free beans! The shrimp were juicy, cooked perfectly and good flavor. I wouldn't come back but the scenery was really nice. read more

My husband & I just moved to Bellport & drove into the super cute little town looking for a great place to eat. We stumbled upon The Bellport on a Thursday which had live music & this extremely cute vintage decor. The friend chicken was to absolutely die for. Get it, trust me. We've been here 4 times since then with friends & family & it's always consistent. The staff & service is wonderful as well!! Thank you for being our new favorite place by our new home. read more

We were a group of 5 people, and had a variety from speggetti and meatballs to short ribs, vegan pasta and cod ....well to tell the truth two meals were cold (pastas were hot) it took so long we didn't want to send them back, ice cream was delicious but the cobbler was poor, coming from out of town it was very disappointing and with the bill of $500. I can't say I would go back.... read more

Went to The Bellport for the second time within a week. First time was 5 stars this time not nearly as good. We had The Bellport pizza for an appetizer and it was dry and very disappointing, fortunately we were given a credit for it. My other guests had bass and black pepper pasta and both were excellent. I had the short ribs and the meat was a little tough. For dessert we had the excellent crème brûlée. Service is excellent and attentive. read more

A group of 8 friends went to The Bellport Saturday night, 2/01/2025, as part of my birthday celebration, before attending The Addams Family at The Gateway Playhouse. We specifically chose this restaurant because the menu on it's website offered 2 vegan options on the menu. Yay for me! We got there at 5 pm, when the restaurant opened, and were promptly seated at a lovely round table. So far, so good. But the menu only showed one vegan option, and I was told that the other was removed because it wasn't selling. No problem, the meal I really wanted anyway was the Vegan II - Warm Thai peanut noodles, with tamari roasted tofu and green beans tossed in ginger wild mushroom pesto, so I ordered that. Shortly after taking our orders, the waiter returned to say that they had run out of tofu, because two people had already ordered it. Seriously? They only had enough tofu on hand to satisfy two orders? The waiter left to see what they could do, because there was nothing else on the menu that I could eat, and the chef said he could substitute grilled zucchini for the tofu. Okay, acceptable in that it was something I could eat, although I was disappointed that I wasn't getting the protein I was hoping for. The meal was, indeed, well-prepared and delicious, however, running out of tofu at the start of the evening on a Saturday night is not acceptable. read more

Love going to the Bellport! Stumbled upon it about six months ago, and come here every couple of it! The food is always consistent and always excellent. Service isn't always the best but they have a young Turkish girl that helps the waitress who is so so sweet and always helpful, I don't know why they don't make her waitress! She is more attentive than the waitress they have. But if you haven't been here it is definitely worth a stop because the food is always fresh and they have wonderfully surprising things on the menu all the time. I had one of the vegan dishes this weekend and it even surprise me it was so delicious- The stuffed zucchini- excellent! There are many delicious surprises on this menu they have a very talented chef and I hope stays with them a long time! read more

Haven't been to The Bellport in about 10 years but I remembered it as a kind of unique place with a laid back relaxed atmosphere. My wife and went for Sunday Brunch and not much has changed! Arrived right at noon, place was about 1/2 full. We were met by a young man named Patrick who seated us, was also serving as bartender and our waiter. I have to say he seemed to be handling things fine! He made me a beautiful Bloody Mary and a nice Mimosa for my wife. The Brunch menu is very inventive and people rave about the Buttermilk Fried Chicken but we were in the mood for breakfast so I ordered the Crepe of the Day which was Strawberry and my spouse opted for Eggs Benedict! Everything was wonderfully presented and delicious, the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Service is slow but we were in no hurry and it occurred to me that Patrick was also acting as chef! If I owned a food establishment I would definitely give him a call! If you're not in a hurry definitely worth a shot! read more
