Reviews for Jedediah Hawkins Inn in Riverhead, NY

What can I say? The atmosphere was excellent. The restaurant food was top notch. The staff is very attentive and very friendly.... The room was cozy. The breakfast was also excellent. I can't say enough about this hotel. We'll go back in June, hopefully. Read more

With its immaculate grounds, beautiful outdoor dining, quaint indoor service, and a varied menu that calls upon the bounty of... Long Island's North Fork, The "Jed" has been our favorite restaurant for a long time running. At the Jedediah Hawkins Inn,you'll be whisked off to a different time and place, and given the Jed's casual elegance, you may never want toleave...Fortunately, with their small boutique hotel upstairs, you don't have to. Be sure to visit the Hawkins Inn "Speakeasy"and if you're there during the day, find a chair, relax outside, and enjoy the Jed's parklike setting. Also be sure to check outthe well crafted wine list, and magnificent desserts. We love the Jed so much we got married there! And you can too! Read more

I recently attended a wedding at Jedidiah Hawkins and while the wedding was absolutely remarkable (especially the food) i do... feel as a guest some key factors need to be addressed. ? We were told their would be valet parking but that did not happen. Wefound ourselves circling the small parking lot for over 15 minutes trying to squeeze our car into a spot (had to go and move itafter the ceremony because we were going to be late from the scramble to park) ? The bartender was rude and off putting. Theirwere many comments made about guests under his breath, he was insulting to the bride and his customer service skills werelacking. He may have been the only bartender for the entire wedding, but more of a reason to want to provide a greatexperience. ? As originally mentioned the food was remarkable. The best food we’ve ever had at a wedding! All in all ifyou’re looking for a unique wedding venue with beautiful scenery incredible food and an intimate setting I would definitelyconsider Jedidiah, however I would recommend the owners focus on training their staff in how to treat guests and customers.

We always wanted to try Jedediah Hawkins for dinner and seeing it was my wife’s birthday this was the best way we could have... spent it. The food was incredible. The service amazing and Elias went over and above with the customer service. If you nevertried it you must. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Jedediah Hawkins for making my wife’s birthday so special. Read more

I had my 100 person wedding here 10/14/22 and I want to start off by saying this is one of the most beautiful wedding venues you... could imagine! My husband and I have eaten here several times prior to booking our wedding and have always had an amazingexperience and recommend it to everyone we know. Multiple guests told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.We originally booked our wedding with Grace, who could not have been more helpful and accommodating, and Lia, the owner, alsowent out of her way for us throughout the entire wedding planning process. We truly wanted to love every single part of ourspecial day, however, I can’t give it 5 stars because of our experience with the new manager, Elias. I am not one to complainbut he truly made me and several of my guests feel like a burden to him that day. He started the day off at 10am telling mewhile I was getting my hair and makeup done that he was short staffed and this was the first of three weddings that weekend. Hemade us feel extremely stressed and rushed from the moment he got there. I understand it’s a very stressful job however Idon’t feel like he should have made the bride and her family feel like such a burden to him. We booked out the entire propertyand all 6 of the rooms as part of our contract so as you can imagine this was a very expensive wedding. There were also severalinstances that my guests brought up to me the following day in which he refused to serve certain drinks despite our contracthaving full open bar. He refused my husband’s boss a glass of scotch at the after party, in which my dad was paying the bartab separately. We also heard he refused tequila and whiskey to other guests. Multiple guests told me he was very rude and I amhonestly very embarrassed and my dad, who paid for most of this wedding, is furious. Again, we loved our wedding and had anamazing time but if you’re considering getting married here I would recommend requesting that you not have to have Eli Read more

Pleasant experience here! The staff was very attentive and frequently checked in on us. The house is beautiful and loved... learning about the history. The outdoor seating on the deck is a must do! The food was delicious. Read more

I had my wedding at Jedediah Hawkins a week ago. The moment we had dinner there on our engagement weekend I was convinced this... was it. We visited the venue and after that the owner, Lia, was extremely available answering all my questions and veryaccessible via text and phone. In addition, the staff is amazing!!! It didn’t matter who was my bridal attendant, each personchecked up on me and made sure everything was perfect. We had Korryn, Collin, Olivia, Eugenia and Elias taking care of us buthonestly - they were all so sweet. They were so kind, easy going and caring. I felt so much support and care from the team andreally couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding. Not to mention the food is amazing!!! My guests have been raving about thewedding and have booked weekends to visit through the summer. If not host a wedding you at least need to visit for a reallyawesome weekend. You will not be disappointed!! Read more

Where do I start! We had our daughter’s wedding there this past weekend. The property and accommodations are beautiful,... extremely well-maintained, comfortable and overly welcoming! The staff couldn’t be more gracious and helpful, we wanted fornothing and everything was taken care of exactly the way we requested and beyond! Also, cannot say enough about the food,delicious! If anyone is considering holdings an event there, do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed! If you have nocelebrations on the calendar, I would definitely consider booking a weekend getaway or, at the least, going for an outstandingmeal! Looking forward to our next visit!!! Read more
