Case's Place

Live locally and came down for breakfast with the dogs. Jules was so friendly and welcoming. We are excited to finally have a breakfast spot in New Suffolk! The ice latte, yogurt parfait and pain au chocolat were great, made even better by the view. Prices are 2023, NOFO prices, but you can't beat this setting. 😎 We will be back!

We were pleasantly surprised with the live music, outdoor seating, and the crowd at Minnow last night. The menu, for now, is their place mat. There is parking along the road in front and side as well as their parking lot. They are competing with Legends for parking. The wiews of the water are spectacular if you are dressed for the outdoors.

Such a great addition! Minnow has a nice ambience, the food was outstanding (thank you chef Cheo!) the staff was welcoming and pleasant, John the manager was so nice and accommodating! Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful place to eat off the beaten path. The food was delicious. And the server was friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. He recommended the proper portions for sharing instead of maximizing the bill and his tip. The water views were spectacular. And the atmosphere was relaxed. I would certainly going there again.

What a Long Island gem! Dinner was amazing with local, sustainably caught fresh fish. Everything that Chef Anna prepared was beyond incredible. The thought and care that went into each dish was translated into each bite. The atmosphere here is exactly what you would want dining al fresco. The back deck hosts a beautiful view of the Peconic Bay that does not disappoint. Rosalia the bar manager made an incredible spicy tamarind margarita that is a must. Our server Sophia was knowledgeable about the menu options and all the different varieties of fish and their preparation. Honestly, I cannot say enough about the food, ambiance, and service. This will be a restaurant to frequent all summer long!

In town from Palm Beach and was looking for a beautiful water front restaurant. Minnow was exactly what I was looking for. Everything from the atmosphere to the service was on par! The chef personally brought out our delicious food and explained the dish for us. Sitting right on the water we enjoyed a beautiful breeze and amazing live music with a server who was very nice and attentive but not bothersome. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for the perfect meal!

Derrick Miller

Incredible experience! Wonderful view of the water and a really cool vibe to the restaurant. We shared the special grilled salmon which was delicious and the roasted potatoes were some of the best I have ever had. Definitely give Minnow a try when you’re on the North Fork. We came over from the beach, parking was super easy and the kids menu has a smaller portion of the chicken Milanese Thant my kids LOVED and it came with ice cream from a local creamery. Strongly recommend!

Came here yesterday with my husband and I have to say this restaurant is going to do great things. The food and drinks were really delicious and unique. We had the Rhubarb Lime Spritz, Kombucha, Organic Strawberry Basil Margarita, Organic Mushroom Bruschetta, Chicken Milanese & Blackfish Almondine. You cannot go wrong with any of these! The Blackfish Almondine was our favorite dish along with the Rhubarb Lime Spritz. The manager Jon was very accommodating. The restaurant overall was super clean, bathrooms were spotless, the atmosphere was peaceful and music was lovely. We will definitely be back here in the near future.

We called 30 minutes before 5pm on a Saturday and Jules got our party of 6 in not long after. She was enthusiastic and funny which made out experience even better! From the lobster, to the oysters, ceviche, & grilled carrots everything was perfect! Only complaint was the $6 can of coke 🫣 will def be back tho!

Such a lovely experience dining at minnow! The food will have me craving to come back. Each dish was created to perfection and the blend of unique flavors made for a truly enjoyable experience. Tuna poke bowl with peaches = *chefs kiss! The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back and dine outside!

Minnow at the Galley Ho is AMAZING. Honestly, I don’t know what the people who complain here are even talking about—some folks will find something to whine about anywhere, but this spot doesn’t deserve it at all. The food? So fresh and flavorful. The grill specials are insane. Perfectly cooked and seriously some of the best I’ve had. You can taste the quality in every bite. What I also love is that they actually care about being sustainable. It’s not just talk—they really put effort into making sure the food is responsibly sourced, which makes it feel even better to eat here.

Absolutely delighted with our experience at Minnow at the Galley Ho. The vibe is perfect — you can sit inside with beautiful water views, dine outside on the deck or lawn, or even pull up your boat and eat dockside. We sat inside and loved the view. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. As a gluten-free diner, I was especially impressed by how accommodating and informed the team was. The restaurant clearly cares about sourcing and sustainability — they feature local, seasonal ingredients and even spotlight lesser-known local fish, which I found fascinating. I had the burrata appetizer and lobster entree special, and the food was ambitious and excellent — on par with North Fork Table & Inn, but with a better view and a more diverse, creative menu. Drinks were also fantastic, with a strong wine list and some of my favorite tequilas like Lalo and Fortaleza. I was pleasantly surprised to find not one but two incredible gluten-free dessert options: an orange almond cake and a flourless chocolate cake, both of which were delicious, along with some truly great vanilla ice cream. As a summer local living just five minutes away, I’m so happy to have such a special neighborhood spot that prioritizes quality ingredients, thoughtful service, and a relaxed but elevated atmosphere. I’ll definitely be recommending Minnow to friends and coming back again soon.

Gorgeous waterfront setting, tasteful yet casual vibe, very good food, not great service, expensive. This place, the old Galley Ho in New Suffolk, just opened as Minnow. It’s ambitious, in serving all organic/sustainably caught veg and seafood, but it’s not up to speed and has some issues. Our server was pleasant and eager, but clueless. We (2 people) waited 35 minutes to be asked if we wanted a drink, and 20 more for the drink to come. The Grey Goose on the rocks with olives had 3 teensy olives loose at the bottom of the glass. We had to tell our server we were ready to order. Our apps did not come out together. Mains did. The menu says “we are a small kitchen trying to do big things. In lieu of coursing, our dishes are made to share, and served as ready.” If the portions were indeed sharing size, that might be fine, but overall, it’s just awkward when one person has their food and the other does not. Sat with empty drinks until we grabbed the waiter again. This place serves all organic veggies/sustainably caught seafood, and everything was clearly very fresh. It’s a concept we want to support. The black bass ceviche was good, although a more assertive marinade would be nice; it didn’t taste very citrusy. It was a bowl of lightly marinated fish chunks with a small amount of cilantro and onion. We added a few big squeezes of lemon. My clams on the half-shell were tiny; I think they should use larger little necks/top necks so we actually get a decent mouthful. The clams were not very sweet, so I can tell they came from the bay, perhaps even from somewhere to the west. Clams from our local inlets are sweeter. Mains were (put in front of the wrong persons) deep-fried tilefish almandine batons and fluke oreganata with a “petit salad” that turned out to be sautéed Swiss chard. The buerre blanc sauce on the fluke was a little too subtle and I really couldn’t detect oregano. Swiss chard can be tough, so if they’re sourcing local organic, they might want to specify young leaves for their greens. I’m fine with older greens as I understand their nature, but the average person might have an issue. I would not have chosen this if I had known the “salad” was cooked chard. I supposed I could have asked, but I assumed the word “salad” was being used in the usual sense. Overall, the food could use more impact, flavor and color. Some more fresh veggies, brighter sauces, some colorful garnish, etc. The foundations of the dishes are very good, though. I was not a fan of the glassware and cutlery. I get that the vibe is “seafood shack,” but the glassware is a thick, flared, faceted tumbler, and drinking a blood-orange martini on the rocks from such a clunky glass was underwhelming. The cutlery is mismatched stainless steel, and I get the aesthetic, but it’s that really thin, pressed stuff that’s kind of rough on the edges and not very pleasant to hold. The price point here is $$$, and for that reason, I think they need to offer more complex, technically excellent food, use better glass and tableware, serve courses together properly, and train the staff. I do love the intention, and I hope they improve. I hate seeing people with a great concept go under. The location cannot be beat on a nice day; get a table on the deck. I would go again if I saw a new thing on the menu that particularly appealed, but not during a busy time. The talk around town is that people have high hopes for that location as it’s so well-loved, and really, really want a place that is casual yet upscale, with good quality food and decent portions, high-ish prices okay but $19 a drink and $40 for a small bit of fish is not going to cut it. They need a regular clientele if they want to survive, because New Suffolk is not a large, walking village with an endless supply of hungry tourists. People around here have money, especially retirees, and they want a local place to get a nice dinner. This place will be fine in season, but winter will be a challenge. I suggest they be Minnow in the summer, and just way more Galley Ho the rest of the year.

Beautiful views in a serene setting. Food was solid, albeit a bit overpriced. Would still go back for the sweeping vistas and setting!

Food quality is good but prices are excessive. The tartare appetizer on rice “toast” was good and original, served with a tangy ponzu sauce. Lemon risotto was made to order and perfectly cooked with the Arborio rice still have a firm tooth feel and good lemon flavor. Pistachio pesto was a tasty topping. However the fluke oreganata was disappointingly dry and overcooked. There was scant oregano flavor to the dish (as implied by the name of the dish). A sauce of fresh oregano, fresh tomato, white wine would have been more in line with my expectation. Service was friendly if somewhat amateur.

The waiter and the manager were very friendly, and I love that they were supporting sustainable fishing. However, my bread was moldy. Even though they did not charge anything involving bread and gave us free dessert, the dinner was around 160 dollars for two people. Moldy bread should not appear in any restaurant, especially when it’s this expensive. This made me question their food safety:it could simply be the negligence from the kitchen, but I assume it takes more than a week for bread to get moldy. Also my risotto was undercooked for the rice still had a firm center that’s hard to bite into.

We have been to the Minnow several times, but last Saturday was our last. I ordered a fish special that was explained as a whole fish grilled with a layer of salt. It wasn't a whole fish and was barely an appetizer. My wife wanted one glass of a sweet white wine, like a Moscato, but they didn't have one. The waiter said they have a small (1/2) bottle that provides 2 glasses. He made it sound like it was inexpensive and should have told me that the little bottle cost $84. It wasn't even listed on their wine list in which most full bottles were $60 to $70. I had a different glass of wine and the waiter never came around again to see if I wanted another, which I did.

Although the location is gorgeous the entrees are bad. The sea-bass weekend special was riddled with bones. You couldn’t take a bite without spitting out a piece of bone. Do not get the fish. We brought it up to the waitress and they did not care at all. They said yea it shouldn’t have bones in it - lol. No comp, no I’m sorry, no let’s get you another dish.
