Die besten Restaurants am Wasser in Springs

Clam chowder was great. Lobster pot pie (3 received) had a hard (what they called puff pastry) on top but it was as bad as Hartack! Beware of the parking out front. Our hosts told us the $5 parking fee was free if you eat there. Not true as we found out we each got an $88 ticket. If you don't have a phone you won't be able to pay the fee because there's only a QR Code to send you to their parking app. BTW, I spoke with Claudio's manager and he said they would have given us 50% off the parking fee if we had asked (how about a warning to be sure to pay for parking because it's highway robbery in fines!) Kind of leaves a sour taste in our mouths and not from the food!

My husband and I ate a lovely dinner here before a show at the Bay Street Theater (btw they offer discount if you show the your tickets!). It was super quiet, there was literally no one in the restaurant for a good hour after we were seated. We ordered a couple of drinks which we enjoyed. The salads were both good and the mains were delicious. I had short ribs and my hubs had filet mignon. We did wait a good bit for our entrees but we had time and the ambience was so nice and relaxing we didn’t mind. By the time we left, the bar below us was getting a bit raucous but again it was not an issue. Just shows people we’re having fun! We decided that we will come next summer and stay the weekend.

always fun to go to claudio's. the views are great

This Inn and its restaurnat spots are a lovely haven in Shelter Island. If you are in the area, its a nice place to stop. We picked it because it was the only place we could find on Open Table but we now love it and will go back again. It's a peaceful haven with lovel service. Try the ravioli, or the bacon and broccolini omelette.
