Good food and service except for the awful french fries! How can a cook ruin such a simple item? Pour an entire container of salt and pepper on them and expect people to try and eat them! read more

Beautiful view, friendly service and an excellent menu. Went for my birthday dinner. I had the Skate Shnitzel. Brilliant idea perfectly executed. My wife had the pasta, which was excellent. We skipped starters and ordered ALL of the side dishes. The sides stole the show. Every one, including the fries, could have severed as an entree for my vegetarian wife. (though I think there may be animal fat involved in cooking the fries. Dont tell her!) Definitely not the dreary, average place we remembered from years ago. The Halyard is a new instant favorite. read more

I go to Greenport every summer and this is officially a "must" going forward. Let me preface this with - I never stayed at the hotel but I did attend a summer ball there in 2023. Unfortunately, the 2025 ball was canceled but I was able to get a dining experience at the restaurant here. I loved the sunset views and the awesome service we received. The place is beautiful and the food is also delicious and very light. I would definitely recommend giving it a go. I tried various appetizers and entries, my favorites were fish and the fruit salad. A good mention is the cheese cake, which was very flavorful. One star off for small portions but it was perfect for our girl group. Definitely a Greenport staple. read more

We had a lovely dinner last night. The food was delicious and the view is amazing. I would have given it more stars but a few things bothered me. I had a delicious Caesar salad but had to ask for pepper. Rather than the server bringing a grinder she simply brought over a small pepper shaker. The mussels were good and they come with French fries but we had to request ketchup for the three of us who ordered this meal. If they wanted to up their game they good had fries ground pepper or have salt and pepper on every table. Ketchup is a staple with fries for most and we shouldn't have to ask for it. Lastly I requested a second bottle of sparkling water and needed to ask twice for it. So overall nice place but the attention to details could improve read more

Honestly, the best dining experience my fiance and I have ever had. Our server, Alex, was phenomenal and took care of us the whole night! The food was incredible as well. We had the lobster bisque, schnitzel, bolognese, and cauliflower and each thing was better than the next! We had complimentary champagne and dessert which was unexpected but so kind! 10/10 would recommend and definitely planning to come back! (Def recommend the cauliflower!!!) read more

The view is amazing, our server was a fine young gentleman and we have had past experiences here a few years back which were excellent in terms of food. This time was a serious disappointment in terms of food. I sent mine back which I maybe have done one time in my 57 years on this planet. Mushroom toast was rubbery and so acidic I had to send it back. The main restaurant menu has changed with almost no veggie options (there used to be a lovely hummus plate) and the wines were not great but a couple that did look good were not available since the menu hadn't been updated yet.. Our server had to check on several items in fact that were printed but not available. Seemed a bit disorganized. All in all, I just wanted the quality we had once enjoyed here. There might be some good items left on the menu but it is not as veggie friendly as it was. Great view, friendly service, highly mediocre food. read more

This place used to be so lovely. And it had an interesting food menu with a high quality wine list. Now... it is not friendly for vegetarians; the wine list is tiny and mostly local wines. Very mid. They used to have delicious veggie bowls and hummus. The new menu is mostly seafood. But, really, if you like wine, this is not the place. The view is spectacular. It is worth a visit for that. But, be prepared for the menu. The mushroom toast was not creamy - it was tart and the mushrooms were rubbery. read more

Came here for my wedding anniversary. Had second thoughts based on the reviews, but it did not disappoint. The heirloom tomato salad and monkfish were incredible and the drinks were great. The view cannot be beat and the service (Josseline - our waitress) was attentive, kind, and came through with great suggestions. We will be back! read more

Food has potential, but please, a "broken Caesar," whatever that might be, cannot be just some lettuce with cheese on top. Skate wing schnitzel could be great, but salt is key to basic flavor. When you serve shared appetizers, it's helpful for all to include serving utensils and plates. Finally, a smashburger cannot be the "special" at a restaurant like this. Waiting for yet another management change, this time for the better. read more

Made reservations here around sunset time because I heard the view was insane. Came off season (March) and midweek (Thursday) and it was nice and quiet, only like 6 or so other tables with us. View would have been much better without the unfortunate fog we had that evening but I enjoyed watching all the ducks fish for food in the part of the water I could see. Sadly they didn't have a mocktail menu and only had one non-alcoholic beer so I had that and it was fine. Their focaccia bread was killer and my husband enjoyed his oysters. I also ordered the squash soup which didn't blow me away too much. The scallops were delicious, just wished they were over risotto. And the brussels sprouts were fantastic as well. Worth a visit. read more

We celebrated a birthday here and I cannot say enough great things about our experience. The crudo of the day was tuna and it was amazing . The mussels were so tender and flavorful . The oysters were superb and the cocktail sauce was outstanding For entrees the swordfish was unbelievable . It was expertly prepared , its is a don't miss! On the menu .The short ribs were so ,melt in your mouth, delicious. While we were quite full we had to try a dessert and they did not disappoint. Sugar cookie with peppermint gelato was so decadent the s'mores parfait was just the right amount of sweetness and richness. The chocolate and hazelnut gelato took us back to Italy, so good. Don't miss the cookies with the perfect amount of chew and crunch.Chef George knows what he is doing and the service was perfect This restaurant is an absolute gem . read more

We ate here over Martin Luther King weekend. The food was quite good, the view is lovely during the day, and the mood lit ambience in the evening is rather charming. I enjoyed the experience. However! The timing of the food was terrible. We were a party of four and two of us had our meals come a full 20 minutes before the others... Half the table was given permission to get started and ended up finishing their entire meal before the other half of the table was even serve served. Inexcusable for a restaurant at this price point. I will say, the quality of the food made up for the long wait time. We were having a lovely time with our party so we made the best of it. Everything we ate was delicious... The specials, the brussels sprouts, the fried fish sandwich, the Crudo of the day. It really was great food. And our server was lovely. She can't help software systems and kitchen timing... Do better Halyard!!! You've got potential! read more

Monday June 30th. dinner, Great views, manager, service and ambiance. Seacar salad with chicken was extraordinary, Burata salad was ok (Not good quality Burata). Baked clams were very salty ! Not good. Burger was good but again too salty. Swordfish dish: (disappointment) The fish fillet was very fresh but the Au poivre sauce was very very very salty and uneatable so i return it and the manager on duty delivery him self the Ceacar salad with chicken which was amazing as i mention above ! Gelato was amazing. Owner and / or GM should check on chef more closely ... chefs today think that they are above and beyond everyone - Not Good... Prices could be lower 10-15% for the food quality that the restaurant provides. read more

We had Thanksgiving buffet at The Halyard. The entire experience was exceptional. The buffet was creative and delicious including local North Fork cheese, butternut squash hummus, moist and perfectly roasted turkey, whipped marshmallows and sweet potatoes, finished with S'mores parfait and all our favorite pies. Our table agreed that the baked clams were the best we've ever had. The view of Long Island sound from our table was spectacular. Elton who served us knew what we needed before we did. The chef and manager came by to check on our table of 6. Highly recommend for special occasions. read more

Heard about the place and was eager to go . Took a ride out east with this place in mind. Got seated outside and the VIEW was beautiful. Then reality set in . Surprised that a restaurant in todays world doesn't care about people who like to go out and enjoy meals without drinking alcohol . They just "ran out " of any non- alcohol beer to have with my meal , in my experience , I haven't seen too many occasions when someone cleans them out on a tear , ??. They just couldn't be bothered to keep up with inventory . The waiter did say the had good supply of Bloody Marys or Mimosas if we were interested , not unless it comes with a free ride home , thanks but no thanks. Ordered a few appetizers Shrimp cocktail was good , nice size shrimp and tasty , weak cocktail sauce . Tuna tatare , absolutley no favor . Mixed with watermelon . Chopped tuna , terrible , waste of money Baked breadcrumbs with clam juice , aka baked clams , enough said Entrees Crispy fried fish , crispy alright , the fries stole the show , what every seafood location likes to hear , but true. Lobster rolll, not a fan when chefs technique to kill live lobsters is by drowning them in mayo . Almost unedible , the push came from the 42 dollar price tag . At least it came with fries , which are fresh and very good . Decent banana sundae but doesn't make up for amateur lunch cooking . So many better choices , can't live off your view . read more

I have to give this 5 stars for the location and view. The restaurant is gorgeous inside , piano bar and by the water. The low tide bar is also amazing but unfortunately only open during the summer. I have not tried the food. The drinks are a hit though. Solid old fashioned. read more

Good food, extremely slow service. We sat with the menu for at least 30 minutes before a server took our drink orders. We sat another 30 minutes before the drinks came to the table and we were finally able to place food orders. As for the food, the fish was very fresh, flaky and tasty. Clean in flavor but not under seasoned. The salad I ordered was very earthy and tasted great but it was definitely overdressed. Thankfully I ordered some of their amazing focaccia that cut the saltiness of the greens. The menu isn't extensive but I think there's something for everyone. It's one of the better restaurants we've tried in Greenport. Although slow, the service is very friendly. Servers are knowledgeable of the area and happy to give suggestions for what to do in town. read more

There was an even in the main room so we ended up having dinner in the Library. It was a *completely different* mood and changed the vibe/ambiance. It was faaaaar too dark and inexplicably loud for such a small space. The service left a lot to be desired. One of us got the bisque and the server forgot to bring a spoon - when we asked for one, a different server came and rudely dropped/threw the spoon on the table. Service as a whole was lackluster and the food did not make up for it. We ordered 1 app and 1 entrée each and the bill came to $270. For the price, both the food and the service needs improvement. read more

First of all- I have been a guest of the halyard many times. This place has a location and natural beauty that you may overlook the service and quality for. My visit tonight was unique. I attended a musical performance in the piano bar. We arrived to an overwhelmed bar scene - and one very friendly, very optimistic, bartender greeted me before disappearing into service tickets ; Ricky. Delightful ... very busy. Alex approached us and took our order to help Ricky out. 5 stars to Alex for taking the initiative to recognize his teammate was overwhelmed .. but it goes beyond that. Alex remained attentive. The . Whole. Time. We are industry we are not demanding. Top notch service .. Eventually getting to interact and receive service from both Garret and Ricky ... overall service team is awesome. Drinks were standard (we didn't order anything off menu) and we had a great time. Will be back ! read more

Shout out to Alex the MVP, this place is always busy and we expect to wait...top notch service by Alex, recognizing the bar was overwhelmed and stepping in to take orders and get us on our way! Drinks - on point. Expect to wait they are busy! Also thank you to Garret and bartender Ricky- great customer service when overwhlemed! See you again soon read more

Delicious with a spectacular view! Farm to table locally sourced foods. Sharing suggested. Wonderful quality. I highly recommend the pesto cavatelli (nut allergy friendly), tuna Tatar (in the cutest Waffel cones) and lobster bucatini. Crab cakes were just ok. We found them to be too spicy souls have been flavored with citrus instead of the charred spice. read more

The theme here is flexibility. Everything from the staff to the grounds was accommodating and there's always a little something extra around the corner. One of my friend groups decided to make the trip to The Halyard and some vineyards from New York City (The BX & BK). When we arrived for lunch, the hostess was nice enough to check on which tables were available by the water per a request from one of the members of our party. She was able to offer us one of those. I observed her to be efficient and professional as she moved about the restaurant. I mention this because sometimes restaurant staff sacrifice warmness for expedience. This wasn't the case at The Halyard. We ordered several drinks from their cocktail menu (forgoing the wines because we were visiting vineyards afterwards). The "Garden Party" and "Paid Time Off" seemed to be that top two choices for the table. For appetizers we started with a dozen oysters and the Summer Truffle Tartine (The Tartine's taste was just fantastic!). We also tried the seared "Hudson Valley" Fois Gras (there are a lot of textures and tastes in that one which might catch some people off guard). For mains, the table went with the Lobster Fra Diavolo and The Bear Battered Fish & Chips both great options! After lunch we took a look around the restaurant. On the exterior, on the Eastern end of the restaurant there's a little porch, the entrance to which is adorned with flowers. The area could easily be mistaken for restaurants I've seen in other countries like Italy! The sound of the ocean made the scene feel romantic and magical! When you're done with that side of the restaurant, continue walking the outer perimeter until you reach the westernmost corner. If you did everything right, you timed your dinner to coincide with the sun setting in the west. If you and your dinner companion don't want to go home yet, come back around to the front of the restaurant. Walk down the path, past the hotel rooms and look for a stairway down to the beach. To the east you'll find a spot called "Low Tide Beach Bar." Maybe you just want to sneak in a romantic moment. In that case, find a couple beach chairs and get comfortable on the beach. Let the ocean waves be your music. ... (You're welcome). Need to know: The parking lot is across the street. So don't do two U-Turns like I did trying to park at the restaurant itself. Also, I was a little disappointed that the hostess didn't check vaccination status. It might be a good idea to sit outside until they catch up to the NYS guidelines. read more

When we called for a reservation, they were "fully booked". The night we went there, more than half the table were empty for our entire meal. It took close to an hour from the time we ordered till when the food arrived. Was not impressed with our meal.The view was the best part of the experience. read more

A lousy experience, in almost every aspect. Called in advance to ask if outdoor seating is available and was told "first come first serve. Shouldn't be a problem!". When we got there, the host quoted an 1:15 hr wait and insisted that it's consistent with her response over the phone. Service at first was attentive and kind, but as the evening progressed it became increasingly difficult to get someone's attention. The mashed potatoes was bland, the buratta was served breadless, and those were the finest items we ordered. The real debacle was the tuna tartare - absolutely inedible. 2 pounds of salt and 3 pounds of sodium must've landed on that poor tuna. A few last nuggets: A creamed corn dish we ordered got lost in the shuffle. Music in the background was muffled, and mostly overcome by excessively loud patrons. 2 hours of my life I'll never get back... oh well read more

My name is adel I go this restaurant with my friend and take lunch there really it's good food I liked thanks

Spectacular tens star location right up on and over the gorgeous Long Ilan sound. Dockers gorgeous bay views has nothing on this breathtaking sound front for views. Super view. Extra nice people. Kindly fit us in for an early dinner without res. Promised not to be long. With mom and just driving through so it worked. Shared New England clam chowder and both got lobster rolls. The only hesitation on a four star was fresh lobster but the mayo or something to both of us seemed like refrigerated a few days too long. Maybe not. But we both felt the same way. Tasted bad not less sweet than should have been. Brioche toasted rolls seemed a few days past. Crumbled a bit. So tough times. Happy to be there. No send backs. Waitress had only a few tables since early but forgot that we asked for cocktail sauce for the fries. A nice young man from the kitchen came out to check and went back and brought us one to share. Thanks but not much of a sharer. Left on time for their dinner crowd didn't linger as promised. Now for next week no matter how busy mom is going to Dockers for her idea of a 10 star lobster roll.. Summer is still here so off we'll go. For this place think view. Drinks. And don't focus on food or service perfection. I'd come again if here as the view is so enjoyable. read more

Celebrated 25th wedding anniversary w wife and 2 adults sons. Very good experience. Beautiful restaurant with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Appetizers baked clams and crab cakes were excellent. Fluke ceviche was OK. Entrees--scallops were some of the best I've ever had and swordfish was very good as well. Service friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. Also, show up early for your reservation and enjoy the very pleasant piano bar before dinner. read more

I reviewed this place in 2020. We used to love it. Man, tonight's experience was simply bad. We went in for there for NYE. Apparently, they only had a pre-fixe menu for 100$ per person. The menu was very odd, and narrow. I hope you like duck. There wasn't any chicken, beef, or anything other than scallops and duck. For five courses. We were one of the first groups seated for the NYE dinner. It took 45 minutes for our first round of drinks to come out. They came out after we had our first course. The courses overall were ok, however were absolutely not worth the exorbitant price they charged for what you got. Additionally, many guests in our party stated that their food came out lukewarm to cold. The soup was served without a spoon. The duck fois grois was supposed to come with gingerbread. It was not in one of the dishes and apparently was not checked before it came out. Lastly, we were told tip was included. As we were finishing the drinks, our waiter came back and said that tip was indeed not included, and he could take the checks back and add the 20% or we could leave it on the line. When I first reviewed this place, I gave it five stars. I see now that it's averaging 3.3 stars on yelp. I am not surprised. I'm not sure what this NYE menu was trying to do, and I don't understand how you don't have anything other than duck available. What if you were allergic? It makes no sense. The Halyard is trying to be something it isn't. Please just go back to the days where I could get a really good steak and French fries. read more

We went last night for Diner , I ordered broiled Cod with grits ,asking the waiter if they can give me a Vegis or rice etc.. instead of grits , the answer was " the chef won't do it " ,now that is the first time I see it happening in a NY restaurant everywhere other than this place try to satisfy their customers ! sorry I never go again to this place again with such snotty chef ! very rude !

Perfect spot on the North Fork to see the sunsetting over Connecticut. Great efficient service match by the great view and over amazing ambience of the motel and restaurant.

Come for the sunset 10/10 Drinks. Well crafted and delicious. 8/10 Service: attentive. 7/10 Food: OK. 6/10 Best sunset view around. Sit on the porch and enjoy breathtaking views. Drinks are crafted with all the bells and whistles. Food. Steak was tough and room temperature. Mashed potatoes were too salty. Lobster roll was ok. Not great for the area but good enough. Fries were tasteless Fluke ceviche was really good Crème brûlée was decent. Sorbet was nice and tart. Overall it is worth the sunset but not the food. read more

We enjoyed another fantastic meal at Halyard this weekend. We both enjoyed the Monkfish with Roasted Cauliflower, a simple and delicious choice. And there is no better waterfront view on the North Shore. With the beautiful panoramic view, ample window seating, and seasonal outdoor seating, you can watch the sunrise or sunset from Halyard. Great service, Great food, Great Ambiance, and special thanks to our server Rhonda for her great service. read more

We came here for Valentine's Day. We had the best seat overlooking the sound. Our waitress Rhonda was very sweet and attentive! We started off with the Whipped Italian Ricotta as our appetizer. It was fresh warm ciabatta bread with ricotta infused with truffle honey which was amazing! For the main course I went with the Fresh Winter Truffle which was ricotta cavatelli with a creamy sauce. I don't think I ever had truffle before but it was pretty amazing. My husband had the Dry Aged Duck which he absolutely loved. For dessert we shared the cookies. They gave us 3 chocolate chip and 3 red velvet cookies. The red velvet cookies were ok. Chocolate chip cookies were better. read more

A little underwhelming. The restaurant is nice as it is right by the water but the food itself I felt like was only okay. The burger my boyfriend got was better than the fish and chips.
