Red Sails Inn

We went to the Red Sails Inn after my father's funeral. My father was a merchant marine engineer and had spent most of his career on the water. The day was beautiful, the view was gorgeous, the food was wonderful and the price was very good. They even let us sit on the deck and release some white balloons with messages to my dad. I will always fondly remember that restaurant and we are going to go back on his birthday to celebrate his life. Thank you so much, Red Sails Inn, for creating a wonderful experience for my family and friends.

I have to start off by saying my husband LOVES this place! Took me there several times while we were dating. Although the atmosphere is nice and it has a waterfront view, the food is YUCK! Now I don't like sea food so I am sure that doesn't help because besides sea food there is not much on the menu. I usually have a salad and it seems the lettuce is always limp or even sometimes brown and just the whole meal isn't very good. Maybe its better if you like sea food but I cant imagine.

Had dinner last night at the Red Sails Inn. Our salads were limp and drenched with so much dressing, we couldn't even finish them. Rolls seemed to be pull-aparts from the grocery store. The entrees were the worst. My husband had breaded jumbo shrimp, and said they were horrible tasting. I had shrimp scampi, which was 4 tasteless shrimp that were so over-cooked and a wierd sauce.. What a waste - our dinner was over $60... not worth it! The area has so many great restaurants.

This is a little place out on shelter island - you would think it would have a great atmosphere and view, but not really. The food was decent bordering on pretty good (we had lunch) but was a little overpriced probably because it is "on the water". There are too many other choices or restaurants on shelter island to settle for this one unless you really have no choice. The server and staff were very pleasant though.

PROS: Very nice staff
CONS: Like an expensive dennys

Red Sails is a neighborhood regular hangout. Breakfast is just breakfast - a little on the expensive side. The coffee is pretty good - and usually refilled regularly. But the service is irregular at best - sometimes good/sometimes not so good. The view isn't pleasant enough to tolerate lousy service.
