AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.
We booked a welcome party for our wedding here 7 months ahead of our wedding, as to have everything squared away ahead of time. We signed a contract, and sent CC info for a $1600 deposit. I found it odd that 3 weeks out I never heard from them, as our menu selections and headcount was due (mind you this is a 55 person event). When I contacted the restaurant to confirm everything, they told me they had a system update which must have accidentally removed our event from their calendar, so they forgot we had booked, and can no longer host our party. They said had I not called myself to confirm everything we would've shown up to a closed building the day of the event. The manager then tells me don't worry, we spoke to another local restaurant that can take over your party for about the same price. I call this said restaurant, and this was not the case! They did not have a space to accommodate my group, and said it would cost almost triple the price! After this, Claudios went radio silent, refusing to return calls and emails. Our deposit was returned, however this was handled so poorly by Claudio's. We were then left 3 weeks out scrambling calling every restaurant on the North Fork trying to find a new location, while simultaneously contacting our 55 guests to notify them all of the plans. We are all out of towners, and I had paid to have invitations made up and sent out for this welcome party. I had also paid to have welcome signs and decor made up that now all went to waste. At the very least Claudios did not even offer a gift card or ANY type of gesture to apologize for their mistake !! They also said they could no longer host the party because they weren't reopening for the season until May 15th, then I get an email shortly after from their marketing team that their "grand opening for the season" will be April 19th!! A week BEFORE the event I had booked!
We hosted an after party at Crabby Jerry’s and our guests loved the location and the atmosphere. Unfortunately, setting up the event was cumbersome, but there is new management as of July 2024, so perhaps things will have turned around.

Claudio’s Restaurant
Last Friday night, September 15, 2023, I had the pleasure of holding my son’s rehearsal dinner at Claudio’s on the dock. The reception was wonderful from start to finish! This was in no small part due to the care and attention to detail by Jonathan Abbott. From start to finish Jonathan made this experience a pleasure. He is a great asset to your company, and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the business. The evening was perfect. Thank you all for making our day go so well. The food was amazing- we had salmon and steak , with a wonderful beet salad.
Sincerely,
Julie Henriksen
Everything about our experience with Claudio's for our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner was exceptional. Jonathan was a joy to work with in making arrangements for the dinner. He stood out as the star among all the vendors we dealt with for the ease in working with him and his positivity and enthusiasm for our event. The setting upstairs overlooking the harbor was magical, the food delicious, the service excellent. Everyone at the rehearsal dinner commented on how wonderful every aspect of this venue was. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a place to celebrate or gather!
Claudio's Waterfront Restaurant has been a family favorite forever. My daughter was there as a small child in a high-chair munching on lobster tails! So when it came time to find a venue for her bridal shower, this was an easy choice. Claudio's did not disappoint - from arranging parking, specialized printed menus and charcuterie platters - they hit it out of the park! The view, the food, the wait staff and the Event Director, Jonathan - all made it so special. My friends and family are still saying it was the best!!
It all starts with people. Jonathan listens and gets to know the couple and you. He guides you in a very casual way. His staff follows his lead. The result was a perfect rehearsal dinner at Claudio’s Tavern and Grill followed by an amazing welcome party at Crabby Jerry’s. The location , the food, the atmosphere, and service was an affair to remember,
