A Martini That Means Business

Old-school in the best way, The Hotel - as locals call it - has been holding court in Sag Harbor for decades, serving up proper martinis, indulgent brunches, and the kind of hospitality that never goes out of style.

I start with a dirty martini that means business – almost a 2:1 ratio of vodka to brine – and I ask them to hold the olives. It’s the kind of drink that starts your getaway in the Hamptons.

Benedicts & Bubbles

Brunch here is just as generous, with Mimosas and a lineup of Benedicts that are just classic.

Inside Tip 📌

The martinis here are generous, 6-7 ounces in a V-shaped goblet. Most places you'll get about 4 ounces.

Also – just like Kidd Squid Brewing Company – we’re a fan of the Hotel’s Limitless Lobster Night. 

And the Hotel’s seared foie gras? Not too shabby either.
