North Fork Table & Inn
James Beard-recognised Southold restaurant inside a six-suite inn — the most refined dining room on the North Fork.
Founded by Gramercy Tavern and Gotham Bar & Grill alums Claudia Fleming and the late Gerry Hayden, North Fork Table & Inn remains the destination dinner of the region. The menu is hyper-local and changes constantly — expect Peconic Bay shellfish, foraged accents and a dessert program that put pastry chef Fleming on the national map. Reservations are notoriously hard, so booking one of the six suites upstairs is the surest way in. Pair with morning tastings at Sparkling Pointe or Croteaux and you have the most refined day on the North Fork.
Tasting menu, hyper-local sourcing, James Beard recognition
Current chef and ownership
The restaurant is now run by restaurateur and chef John Fraser, whose name appears throughout the current site and menus; the inn's four boutique rooms above the dining room were curated by Fraser and designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen. 1 This is a change from the restaurant's founding chefs — worth noting if researching its earlier James Beard-era reputation.
What's on the current dinner menu
Published à la carte pricing from the restaurant's own menu page includes: Milk Bread with cultured butter $13; Broiled Little Neck Clams $19; Little Ram Oysters $25; Tuna Tartare $25; Hand Cut Beef Tartare $29; Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe $36; Swordfish Veracruz $45; Dry Aged Long Island Duck $60; a 6oz Filet Mignon $59, rising to a 36oz Dry Aged Tomahawk for Two at $200. 3 The kitchen also runs a seasonal food truck and beer garden alongside the main dining room.
Hours
Current hours listed on the site are Thursday through Saturday 5–9pm and Sunday 5–8pm; OpenTable's listing separately shows Wednesday and Sunday dinner and a Friday/Saturday food truck from 11am–3pm, so it's worth checking both before a visit since schedules shift seasonally. 1 4
Holiday tasting menus
The restaurant also runs occasional set tasting menus for holidays — for example, a Feast of Seven Fishes menu on December 24th priced at $98 per person with an optional $75 wine pairing, built around courses like chilled North Fork oysters with Kaluga caviar and a Nantucket Bay scallop course. 2
