This weekend was our second stay at Menhaden, to celebrate a combination birthday/anniversary. And Menhaden easily met every expectation. First - A shout out to Alex, and Kailee, and the rest of the staff we met for their wonderful kindness and support. Second, our King Room was exceptional, Clean, Large lots of windows for spectacular views. Third, maybe most important, We were able to bring our newly rescued 8 lb precious little Bichon Sadie. Sadie was made to feel at home and the three of us look forward to our next stay at Menhaden read more

A lovely hotel with an extremely attentive staff! We spent one night for a Thanksgiving staycation and had a wonderful experience - a galley which has complimentary coffee, tea, juice, yogurt and other breakfast items was such a nice touch! Highly recommend this hotel. read more

- Lavendar infused towels upon arrival. Warm greeting and tour of the premises. - Fresh baked croissants, hot fresh coffee for breakfast from our fully stocked pantry - EPA certified cleansed room. Perfectly firm comfortable King bed. - Rooftop terrace with a fire pit and bar. - Bicycles, umbrellas, local magazines, should you require them during your stay. Menhaden has all the detailed amenities that make you feel at home and cared for. I think we found our favorite hotel on the North Fork. Thank you! read more

Such a beautiful hotel. Every detail was amazing. It was all beautifully decorated for Christmas. It felt warm and cozy. We played games in the lounge while looking out the windows and admiring the village,that's all decked out for the holidays. Hot chocolate and snacks. The room was perfect, I never slept so good. Immaculate accommodations. The food galley on each floor with soda, juice, coffee, yogurt, snacks and candy was a fun treat.Our host Kaylee was so wonderfully gracious. Mario thank you for a lovely stay. A great way to get into the Christmas spirit. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway or bring some friends. read more

Loved staying at this hotel and wish we were here longer than one night. The staff was so friendly, they provided complimentary desserts, snacks, non alcoholic beverages and coffee all day in their galley kitchens on each floor. It had a rooftop deck, coffee/store and bar. The rooms were modernized (but not so modern that it took away from the vibe!) and very clean. We brought our 1 year old with no issue (our own pack and play because I think there was a charge if you use a crib from them). Great stay, central location and highly recommend it. read more

this is a very cute shop! i just got a bag of chips and waited for my train in a cool place. staff is very friendly too.

We stayed at The Menhaden for a few nights in May and loved its homey yet elegant and modern vibe. First off, it seems that many of the negative Yelp reviews are based on experiences at the restaurant (Demarchelier) located in the hotel lobby, a completely separate entity from The Menhaden so those reviews should be posted separately. I wanted a restful place as I was sleep deprived from caring for a sick family member. The quiet Menhaden was perfect for that with its spare beachy decor, laid back vibe and extremely comfortable mattresses/bedding. It's walkable to just about anyplace in Greenport so very convenient too. The front desk personnel were super friendly and responsive, thank you Jake and Riva for answering my texts so promptly. Loved the galleys (located on each floor) offering 24/7 complementary beverage and snack service, plus fresh pastries in the morning. The roof deck was spacious with nice water views and firepits lit up at night. We would have liked some sun shade on the deck but were told umbrellas are not set up before Memorial Day. Prices are on the high side but that's Greenport for you, and we took advantage of lower rates in effect before the high summer season kicked in. Free parking, immaculately kept facilities. All in all a great experience. read more

One of my best Hotel experiences ever. From the handwritten welcome note in the immaculately clean room to the gift box of french macaroons on the way out it truly was an oasis for the weekend. The Plus's: -Hotel bar has a record player and a vinyl collection ranging from Otis Redding to Wu-Tang Clan with great cocktails. -Great 24 goods store with a dope coffee shop -Complimentary canteen on each floor with everything you'll need for a late night sip. I kind of giggled when they said that there's fresh croissants at 7 AM. Yesterday morning I saw they were out so I figured what the heck, literally the best croissant I ever had. -Felicia! Front desk manager. Sweetest super knowledgeable with all the local recommends. Spot on! -the room. Clean and spacious. I miss the mattress and shower products already. One of the cleanest most meticulous rooms I've ever been in. I even loved the special plastic covering for the remote control. Five stars to the cleaning crew! -the rooftop. Only Hotel in Greenport with a view of the water. Fire pits and blankets made it the perfect location to end the night. The Negatives: I'm not there tonight :( read more

(1) The hotel only has 11 parking spots for 16 rooms. To add insult to injury, when we had no place to park nearby in the street, the only person on duty at night finally said "I can move my car out of the lot if you really want to park here." What kind of business allows employees to park in the guest lot, particularly when on-site spaces are severely limited? (2) The only person at the front desk is also the bartender. Describing his skills as "pitiful" is being charitable. Lots of artisanal alcohol, but only 1 brand of gin and 1 brand of vodka. I asked for gin on the rocks, and was alert enough to stop the "bartender" as he started to fill the glass with vodka. $47 for 2 simple drinks on the rocks. (3) Beautiful gift/coffee shop, also with no staff. We ordered a matcha latte and an espresso, both of which were poured down the drain after 1 sip. There is an excellent coffee shop close by and puts the hotel's bumbling efforts to shame. In addition, I've never seen a store with no prices on any article. (4) The TV malfunctioned, and 2 requests to make it operable were ignored. I finally found someone to repair it the next day, but was unable to turn off what became a blue screen. I finally pulled the plug in order to make the room dark enough for sleep. I have extensive experience in both the hospitality and retail sectors. The hotel is really well designed and maintained. The staffing is basically non-existent, and the few personnel we saw were either incompetent or untrained. This is no way to run an upscale hospitality business. When the economy inevitable softens, they are in for a rough landing. read more

Wonderful decor and ambiance - great location - staff very helpful - especially Mario -

Spent a few days here last summer. The Menhaden is a phenomenal beach-town hotel, perfect for a weekend getaway. Clean, airy and comfortable, the Menhaden is just the perfect home base for unwinding after a day spent wine tasting at the North Fork's vineyards, swimming in the sound, and exploring Greenport's restaurant scene. The staff are wonderful and care for your every need, and the amenities are top- tier. Rooftop deck was a perfect late night spot and the galley refreshments could not be more convenient and well thought-out. Very cool bar too! Can't wait to come back when visiting family this winter. read more

Let me just say, WOW. Everything about The Menhaden was perfect. From booking, to planning my itinerary with the staff, to being welcomed at check-in, the room itself, and check-out... everything surpassed my expectations. Mario and his staff are beyond wonderful. This hotel is attentive to the smallest of details that can elevate an experience. The galley full of local snacks throughout the day was so lovely, the bar downstairs, and the roof were great amenities! Another huge bonus is that this hotel is dog friendly! Our room was incredibly clean and the other guests we encountered were lovely; it was a peaceful stay, not too loud at all. I can't wait until I return to Greenport so I can book another stay at The Menhaden!! If you're visiting the town, book your stay here, you won't be disappointed! read more

We come in here often for coffee when we're visiting and the guys there are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful! We usually stay and chat for a while because we enjoy the convo with them so much! So personable! Today we were helped by Elber and he was just the best!!! Usually we see Natchie and he's also great. Best service and drinks by far! read more

Great drinks, nice space, friendly crowd, town center Rooms are nice, great location, pricey read more

Pros: friendly service, modern decor, great location. The hotel also has a small parking lot (though sometimes it was too full to park in). We also enjoyed that we could borrow a beach permit for the local beaches. Gave it two stars though because there room just wasn't very clean, and it's not worth the price of nearly $800/nt on a weeknight. The floors could do with a vacuum and mop/swiffer, and the nightstands could be wiped down better. read more

Gorgeous little hotel, fantastic service, and a great area in Greenport! Felecia at the front desk is amazing. We loved raiding the galley late night and how most restaurants/bars were in walking distance. Visit Goldbergs in the AM for breakfast. Ten out of ten! read more

A Jewel in Greenport! Thanks to Amy and Natchie, we felt welcome from start to finish. Everything is top notch and they even have baked cookies and ice cream available for guests in the evening. They seem to value their guests and treat you like part of the family..... A definite must for a relaxing getaway! read more

I generally dont give bad reviews but I'm sad as i am writing this. I even slept on it because i genuinely thought that maybe I'd feel differently about my experience here but i don't. I'll start with the food because thats probably the only thing that gave me a quarter of a smile. For appetizers, we order the pate which was excellent. The bread took forever to come but it was good. They brought the bread out with no butter, no olive oil, salt & pepper, nothing! Asking for those items was a mission too. Our entrees finally came after a long wait. The duck was dry and not seasoned at all. It was very bland. My friend asked for her steak medium rare and it came out well done. She had to order another one. The second steak was great and it was definitely medium rare. It was juciy and very well made. I ordered the pasta of the day. The creamy sauce could have been thicker but it was tasty. When we walked in no one was paying attention to us. I felt like we were ignored for an extended period of time which i thought was rude considering that we are in the middle of the pandemic, people should be rushing to seat and serve us. After finally being seated, we asked the beverage menu the server pointed to a menu that was closer to the door. We had a party of four, she wanted us to get up and look at the drink menu instead of bringing it to us... who does that? She could have told us before they seated us. So we let that go. We order our entrees and they come. We ask for salt and pepper. The server looks at us as if we were lying about there not being salt in the shakers. Wtf? At this point, i was ready to go and spend my money where its wanted. I dont want to make this a race issue but i certainly felt like i didn't belonged there and trust and believe i will never spend another dollar here. We had a Cape Verdean server who thought she was French and apparently failed to locate where exactly Cape Verde is on the map We tipped her because she's of color but she didn't deserve a dime. I was not impressed by this place. If you're a person of color and if you decide to spend money here after this review, you're a better human being than i will ever be. Dont waste your money or time!! read more

We stayed here for one night to attend a party at a nearby vineyard. There were four of us - girls trip. We had two rooms. This hotel was outstanding. The staff was amazing, very helpful - they gave us a tour of the hotel immediately upon arrival. 15 min after arriving I discovered I left my dress at home, 3 hours away. Felicia was so helpful - she texted me the names and address of nearby clothing stores - even told me the hours that they were open. Our rooms were perfectly clean. Extremely clean. There is a rooftop area with a fire pit and a lovely view. There is a galley in each floor with a stocked fridge, an upgraded keurig machine, assortment of teas, and snacks. The fridge was stocked with soda, water, juice, fruit, and yogurt. There also was an assortment of milk for the cereal they offer plus dried fruit as a topping. It was quite lovely and very much appreciated in the morning before we checked out. This is everything and more that a boutique hotel should be. Homemade croissants in the morning and fresh baked cookies in the evening. The bed was super comfortable. The shower was great. We all decided to return with our husbands in the spring - there is a golf course nearby. This hotel was very luxurious while still feeling very cozy and homey. The staff were kind and helpful and really went out of their way to make us have a great experience. read more

A nice simple happy hour. Staff is attentive and very nice. Nice spot. We actually were going to spend the night but there were no vacancies. read more

The Menhaden - Happy hour oysters - Hotels Near Me - Greenport, New York

I have to be clear- writing this review on decor , service and rooftop bar...I didn't stay at the hotel. Stumbled across the Menhaden and wow- so cool. Gorgeous black white and grey decor. Hip yet casual- chic city meets open air beachy too. Loved it. Took pictures right away and sent them to my interior designer brother who had already heard about the place. We took the elevator up to the rooftop bar. Think they are still working out the kinks up there. Great views across the water and more cool furnishings but just not enough places to sit or umbrellas for the late afternoon heat. Not sure why they don't have waitress service either. Area is small so one server could handle it. You go to bar order and carry your drinks to your seat. Beverages were not cheap $15 for a small pour of rose. They have lemon water for whomever wants and a small menu of lite bites. It's definitely worth your while to check it out. Love a rooftop bar! read more

Never again. We stayed here once a few years ago and didn't have the best experience. We usually stay at American Beech in Greenport & love it. We decided to give this place another try. You can hear everything through floors & walls. The people upstairs were so loud, especially at 4 am. The front desk staff actually went & talked to the loud party & they did quiet down. Last time the bar music below was shaking our floor. The rooms are very basic, no frig or even phone charging ports. Very expensive for one night in February, over $700. No water view, or view at all. The bar downstairs was closed at least for the season. There's a community frig on each floor with water, coffee & snacks. Totally not worth the cost it in our opinion. But I wouldn't pay $200 to stay here again. Some staff were ok, others were rude. There are many other places to stay. The location is convenient but that's about it. read more

By far the best boutique hotel I've ever stayed at. Hotel personnel was extremely attentive, welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable. Staff is very engaging and make you feel at home. The rooms where modern, chic and clean. The attention to detail is extremely noticeable. Would highly recommend this location! We can't wait to come back! read more

This hotel was right in the middle of Greenport on In the Hamptons, LI. A 2 minute walk to the ferry to Shelter Island. The town was bustling with many restaurants and possibly some star sitings. the hotel has just had a complete upgrade and was awesome. We had a blast., thanks to my wife. read more

Such a gem! I stayed here during the week and had the best stay. The staff is so nice, the location is great and the hotel itself is so clean and well maintained. This might have been the best hotel experience I have ever had. I did not want to leave so ended up extending my stay. The hotel is in the perfect location and the roof is so relaxing to have a coffee or drink on. The galley is stocked with amazing treats and so convenient as well as the little shop with amazing coffee. The texting service was amazing as well as Mario and his team. I loved biking to the beach and to the wineries. I would not think twice and book this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

First time we passed this place we were struck by how stylish it is outside. It really has a wonderful Hamptons vibe. We went inside and went up to the roof and they have a lovely view of the harbor. We had dinner at their restaurant The Merchants which is off the lobby. The food was absolutely delicious and my wife had the best martini she's had in many many years. We are definitely coming back! Update: We did go back a few weeks later and it was so noisy the waitress couldn't even hear us give our order and none of the food was as good as the first time. Maybe the kitchen couldn't handle the pressure. Disappointing! We won't be back anytime soon! read more

This place is like if the Ritz Carlton and a great bed and breakfast had a baby and named it the Menhaden. The staff knew who we were by name, we got a text before arriving asking if we needed any help with plans! The rooms were modern and beautifully decorated and the complimentary stocked fridge just outside our door came in handy! Then the private rooftop bar with spectacular views was an amazing spot for my wife and I to just relax and enjoy the weather a great drink and some fresh oysters! We are definitely going back! read more

We just had an amazing stay at the Menhaden! The entire staff was so lovely and welcoming. We loved all the amenities of the rooms and the cool feel of the lounge downstairs. Definitely a great spot in Greenport. read more

My husband and I stayed three nights at The Menhaden. It was clear upon entering this pretty boutique hotel that the space had been completely renovated. It's located in the center of Greenport, so we were able to walk to restaurants and the water within minutes. The hotel has sixteen rooms and our room was located on the third floor. It was bright, cozy and extremely clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathrobe was so soft and comfortable. Each floor has a little room called The Galley that has a Nespresso machine with coffee and tea provided. Nice quality, fresh baked goods are on the counter every morning to enjoy. There is a refrigerator stocked with sparkling water, fresh squeezed orange juice, grapefruit juice, several flavors of Nounos Greek yogurts, soft drinks and cream for your coffee. On the counter, there was fresh fruit, trail mix and potatoes chips. And, the freezer had Haagen-Days ice cream bars!! There is no additional charge for any items provided in The Galley. In addition to the The Galley, in the lobby you will find a full serve coffee bar with cappuccinos, lattes, etc. They have plenty of complimentary bicycles for use as well. Because our visit was at the end of peak season, when checking in the young woman told us that the roof top was closed for the season, but that she would be happy to turn on the fire pits for us and bring a glass of wine. Honestly, everyone who worked here was clearly happy to be there and wanted our stay to be memorable and it was! If you're ever in Greenport, I would highly suggest staying at The Menhaden. read more

Awesome. Great staff, comfortable, clean, all around everything I was looking for. Helping me have the best vacation that I could have.

Beautiful accommodations! Thank you so much Jodie for being so attentive. You made our stay that much more enjoyable. Appreciated having our coffee area right on our floor and having the great complementary snacks. The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

Best experience ever. My husband and I stayed here for one night, mid-week, in February. We just wanted a quick getaway during our week off from work. Everything about this hotel was great. When I called to ask questions, I spoke with Jake, and he was an absolute pleasure! He answered all of my questions politely, patiently, and with genuine enthusiasm. He held a room for us and called me the following day to see if I had decided to book. We did wind up booking and he offered to help us with dinner reservations, early check in, and late check out, if needed. He could not have been more accommodating. When we arrived, the person working at the desk at that time was just as wonderful. She escorted us to our room and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was immaculate and had a partial water view. In addition, there was a handwritten welcome card that also wished my husband a Happy Birthday - how sweet - AND, the champagne glasses we requested were in the room as we'd hoped, along with a bucket of ice. Great attention to detail! The common area had a kitchenette with a Keurig, tea bags, milk/cream, as well as sodas and yogurts! This made us feel like welcome and appreciated guests. In the morning, fresh pastries were put out too! All of this really made us feel like we picked the right place. A lot of high-end / boutique hotels have a huge price tag, but little to show for it. Not only did the Menhaden offer a great winter rate, but it included so many little additions that made the whole stay feel like such a great value. In the morning, one of the general managers was working. She was also lovely to interact with, and she made us delicious lattes in the gift shop off of the lobby. Overall, we can't say enough good things. All of the employees were wonderful and we had a really relaxing stay. read more

My husband and I booked a one night, mid-week stay here for a post baby getaway. Unfortunately, two days prior, I had to go back to the hospital. We called to cancel and asked if there was anything that could be done - a credit for another stay, etc. We were told someone would get back to us, which they never did. We followed up, and were finally told they were keeping the entire $700, and were not giving us so much as a partial credit toward a future stay. I understand hotels have policies, but sometimes extenuating circumstances do arise, and I think it just says something about how this place is run. There are plenty of other lovely hotels in the area to stay at that treat their guests with more consideration and empathy, so I would suggest trying one of those instead - especially for what this place charges. read more

Found this place right after it opened by accident. Very cool boutique hotel with a city vibe literally a block from the harbor. Good service, enjoyable stay. Had my complimentary yogurt and coffee on the roof lounge with awesome views. Rates are a little high for the area but if you can afford its worth it. read more

This was our second stay at the Menhaden. Our first visit was amazing. The staff was incredible and the room was wonderful. We returned for a second visit and were quite disappointed this time around. The staff is completely different from last time. The kitchen area on the floor was much more sparse than last time. The staff were definitely not as caring or attentive as the last time we stayed at the Menhaden. When we checked out not a word was exchanged. They didn't even ask if we enjoyed our visit. When booking our second visit we explicitly asked for the same room as last time, however, when we arrived, we were given a different room. When we went to the room we quickly asked to move and were eventually given our original room request after they "moved some other guests around." These guests of course had not arrived yet. If we do return we will definitely not ask for this room again. The floors are literally paper thin. I guess during our last visit we either had very quiet guests above us or no guests at all. This time we heard what sounded like running, jumping, and dropping of large items for hours beginning at 7am on Sunday morning. It was quite frustrating. This is a beautiful boutique hotel and we were very excited to return. Not sure if we will return for a third try. read more

Great addition to the town. Beautiful decor, great location to everything. The rooftop was gorgeous with beautiful views. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Love the kitchens on each floor with lots of yummy treats/snacks for guests to enjoy whenever they are in the mood. Would highly recommend a visit to The Menhaden. read more
