Overlooking the tranquil waters of Shinnecock Bay, The Inn Spot on the Bay in Hampton Bays offers a perfect blend of coastal charm, creative cuisine, and laid-back Hamptons elegance. Whether you’re stopping in for brunch, cocktails, or a romantic dinner by the water, this iconic spot delivers an experience that’s both relaxing and refined.

The Food
The menu at The Inn Spot is a celebration of locally inspired dishes with a global twist. Start with the seared scallops or ahi tuna tartare, both beautifully balanced and bursting with fresh flavor. The lobster risotto is a must-try — creamy, rich, and loaded with tender lobster pieces that showcase the best of Long Island’s seafood. The steak frites and pan-roasted salmon are equally popular, offering hearty yet elegant comfort food. For brunch lovers, the crab cake Benedict and brioche French toast are house favorites that keep locals coming back weekend after weekend.

The Drinks
The cocktail list is just as thoughtful as the menu. The Bay Breeze Spritz and Cucumber Martini are refreshing picks for summer afternoons, while the Sangria Blanca pairs perfectly with sunset views. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the carefully curated list featuring both local Long Island vineyards and international selections, ideal for pairing with seafood or lighter fare.

The Ambiance
Set directly on the bay, The Inn Spot captures the essence of Hamptons waterfront dining — breezy, casual, and effortlessly beautiful. The open-air patio offers panoramic views of the water, while the indoor dining room combines coastal simplicity with rustic elegance. As the sun sets, the entire space glows with golden light, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for dinner and drinks.
