Quotes in the Media about the Pridwin HotelTHE PRIDWIN HOTEL RESTAURANT The East Hampton Star “Over the years, if there is one thing that has annoyed readers it had been when their favorite undiscovered gem of a restaurant has been outed with a rave review. Well, sorry, guys, but I’m going to do it again. This time it is The Pridwin Hotel, that large hotel at the very end of Crescent Beach on Shelter Island that, particularly in the winter, is somewhat reminiscent of the hotel in “The Shining.” “My prejudices began to melt with the fast and attentive service, with a better selection of bread and rolls than I have seen anywhere this summer, and by the recommendations on the menu of a suitable wine to accompany each entrée.” “We were on a flower-filled deck high above the bay, with a breeze that blew away all memories of the sweaty inferno of the previous days.” “There were two soup specials, an unusual cold soup of peach and melon, a little like a liquid fruit salad with a bit of a zip, and the most wonderful mussel chowder that had the whole table exclaiming in greedy delight.” “The crab cakes with slightly spicy Jamaican sauce were great, and as crisp as they should be, and the seared blackened sashimi-style tuna ($10) was also immaculate.” “Pridwin-caught mahi-mahi and lightly grilled tuna were served with an outstanding polenta.” “The excellent herb-roasted rack of lamb cost $30 but was such a large portion that one chop was abandoned because everyone felt too full to finish it.” “The Pridwin is a find and, since it is always such a relief on a midsummer weekend to jump on the ferry to Shelter Island to escape the happening Hamptons, it goes on my definitely-will-return-on-my-own-dollar list.”
The Hampton Resident “Nestled between the twin forks of eastern Long Island, Shelter Island is a true oasis: a combination of beachside beauty and old New England charm.”
Long Island Pulse “The Pridwin Beach Hotel and Cottages on Shelter Island has a wrap-around deck outside its restaurant where diners savor summer as few others can. Set on Crescent Beach, facing Southold Bay, The Pridwin Restaurant’s graceful porch-like deck is an ideal place to luxuriate in summer sunset scenes of shimmering water and distant sailboats.” “The roasted rack of lamb – four pink, shallot breadcrumb rusted chops – were thick, tender and tasty. Shrimp Provencale – six sautéed shrimp atop noteworthy fettuccine – was tossed with an admirable mix of fresh spinach and garlic. And soft puffy, medium-sized grilled sea scallops were nicely browned and served with a savory, roasted red bell pepper coulis.”
