The Preston House & Hotel - Restaurant

Five good friends got together for dinner at The Preston House. Three of us had already dined there and the others were trying it for the first time. Luckily, we were able to get a table in a private spot on the covered porch. Despite the cold outside the area was nice and warm. We had cocktails, appetizers, a big salad to share and individual dinners. Everyone enjoyed their meals and went home with lunch for the next day. Nicely prepared food served by excellent staff. Steve was our waiter and was assisted by two coworkers. I have to say they really added value to our evening! Accommodating with good senses of humor. Makes me think this is probably a good place to work. And that has become increasingly important to me, as my daughter is studying culinary arts at Johnson and Wales! We will definitely be returning soon as this is the perfect location for those living on the north fork to get together with friends from the south fork!

We chose Preston House Restaurant because it is definitely the high-end hot spot here in Riverhead. Good price to quality ratio. We sat outside with my dog, which was great. The wine menu is well put together and thought out. Every bottle is a good bottle to order with some unique stuff. The summer food menu is enticing. Seafood a plenty. Freshly caught in Montauk fish dishes are the stars here, though my wife's skirt steak was perfect. Tender, melt in your mouth delicious. The quality was there. The freshness of the fluke crudo was firmly present. Taste like they pulled it from the sea today. Soft texture of the fish balanced with crispy puffs and sitting in a citrus liquid. Presentation was just as good as the flavor. Herb crusted tuna was cooked rare (as I should) was fork tender. The herbaceous flavor burst in your mouth but didn't take over the dish, allowing the fish to shine. The tuna combined with the miso braised red cabbage created a beautiful mouth feel. The ginger-carrot puree was smooth and flavorful. Kids liked the real bechemel Mac and cheese. Made me happy when my daughter said she liked this better than Kraft. I apologize that I didn't take pictures of the desserts. The creme brulee cheesecake was outstanding. Dense, creamy cheesecake with a creme brulee hard shell. Some of the best cheesecake I have ever had. Gelato and chocolate cake were great also. An ounce of Glenmorangie Lasanta topped it all off for me. What a great meal! Provided by our server, Steve, who was attentive, not overwhelming and helpful. Hope to see you there when I go back. Cheers!

Delicious food and drinks. Fresh and clean. Staff is professional and helpful. I'll be back. Steak and braise of day delicious. Soup was great too!

The atmosphere was very nice and clean very modern which was nice it wasn’t that crowded it was nice and mellow at the time we were there (1:30pm ish 3adults 2 toddler ) the hostess was busy on the phone didn’t try to acknowledge (that’s why there is only four stars)but the bartender stepped over appreciated that since we had too kids. The menu was kinda all together so at first glance you can’t see it properly ( guys maybe you can have a kids section since you are located across from the aquarium) The food was very good nice and fresh we had steak and eggs, roasted chicken and a burger for the main course! However the fries were a little over cooked so there was nothing inside and tender was a little to brown on the outside ! Our server was really nice but the second on keep clearing the table as if she was rushing us to leave lol…

Great food. Great service. Seasonal menu. Loved every dish we ordered. Will def go back.

My family and friends recently stayed here for my wedding weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner the night before and everything was perfection! From the cocktail hour in the wine cellar to the delicious food upstairs in the private room, it was amazing. The day of my wedding getting ready in the suite was everything and more. It was the perfect size and place for all the girls to get ready. Alberto and Upulli were amazing!!! They were so helpful, attentive, and accommodating to whatever we needed while we were at The Preston! I would recommend it to anyone for a weekend trip, rehearsal dinner or hotel to stay at for your wedding weekend on the north fork!

By far the cleanest and best shucked oysters I have had in a LONG time. We ordered the salmon and lamb as our entrée ... EXCELLENT. The lamb was perfectly cooked as well as the salmon. The crispy Brussel sprouts and and potatoes added a tasty charred flair. The sweet potato paired as a perfect side for the lamb. Now lets get to my complicated drink order, an American twist on a caipirinha, our server was so eager to please me :). And it was delish!! They also make a VERY good LI iced tea. So glad we took a chance on this gem.

We did the brunch today and it was fabulous. We shared oysters from the west coast, which we never see out here! Perfectly shucked! Husband did the avocado toast with salmon, and I did the eggs Benedict with ham(not your typical english muffin, i think it was home made with love!). Both were excellently executed. Chef is on his game!! The wait staff is superb! They are friendly, attentive, and helpful. Lana was our server and she was great! If you are blessed to have an interaction with Kevin, hopefully he makes you laugh as hard he made us today. Jacob, the host/manager also was super nice and friendly. We will be back again!!
