The grand residence at the base of Mattituck Inlet christened Windamere in 1890, opened its doors to summer guests at the dawn of the twentieth century as the North Fork became a sought-after destination for city dwellers. Visitors were in for a treat at the lofty rate of $7 per week. The property boasted a dance hall with a piano, a tennis court, a bowling alley, and a fine dock built for excursions. The lush and bountiful grounds were graced by a gentle wind flowing down the creek, and magnificent sunsets were presented nightly over the inlet. Windamere was known for delightful entertainment for guests and neighboring yacht clubs, most notably a 500-person singing society arriving by train for a midsummer performance on the great lawn.

Windamere offers a stunning location with spectacular views and a vibrant atmosphere, especially with live music enhancing the experience.

Made tea by fireplace. When arrived told sit anywhere and fire place off - asked to turn on 2x dif people - finally told cook said it was broken - then why offer it! It was raining so people from outside came in to warm up and were seating in front of fireplace e where we were to be enjoying and never even cared. Worst customer service ever - waitress brought appetizer after meal was served as must of forgotten - didn’t offer any compensation or even coffee - as amends. She never smiled or made to feel engaged. Food adequate - wanted something off web site told no longer offering. Wrong answer!! Our second time there and won’t return other couple been there many times and probably won’t return.

This is a beautiful venue for a mild summer or fall evening. The live music is entertaining, and just the right noise level for pleasant conversation. Our service was excellent, with young wait staff who were knowledgeable and attentive. Our only complaints were the quality of the food, with over-cooked burgers and fried fish. Drinks were a bit pricey, with the ambiance made up for these shortcomings.

This was our first time at Windamere and it was fabulous! We sat outside and the atmosphere was wonderful. Beautiful view of the inlet and lawn. The food and service was excellent! Fatima, our server, was friendly and efficient. Live band was great and made for any overall enjoyable evening. Looking forward to our next visit!

We were seated outside for brunch. No silverware or napkins were provided! Water was served in plastic cups. One chair had a huge hole in the middle of the seat! If I would want to feel like being in a student cafeteria I would not go to an expensive restaurant like Windamere! Very unpleasant experience!
