Welcome. We’re Claudio’s Waterfront at 111 Main Street, Greenport — North Fork harbour, slips for boats up to 120 feet, and a deck where the ice arrives before the small talk. You do not need a yacht. You need an appetite and a jacket when the sun drops.

Hours that follow the season, not a directory card
We are not a city bistro with one line on Google. Winter lunch and summer dinner on claudios.com disagree with every scraped card that ever copied us. Call before you sail over. If the dock is your plan, book the slip and the table — not one without the other on a Saturday in July.
The tower is the photograph
When we post the $175 seafood tower, we mean half a lobster, snow crab legs, oysters and clams on ice, lemon, cocktail sauce, and a second tier that makes the marina go quiet for a minute. It is built for two hands and three opinions about who gets the claw.
That is not a garnish plate. It is the reason people dock here instead of racing back to the city.
Hot roll, cold roll — pick a side
Connecticut wants warm lobster in buttered brioche, glistening like it left the pot thirty seconds ago. Maine wants chilled salad, still chunky, on the same golden bun with scoop fries and a red-rim plate that looks like it has been doing this since your parents’ anniversary.
We serve both. We will not settle the debate for you.
Oysters when the ice is the table
A dozen on the half shell, mignonette in the centre, wooden picks, hand on the tray rim — that is a Greenport afternoon, not a trend. We shuck for National Oyster Day and for the Tuesday you played hooky from the city.
Whole lobster, corn, cold beer
Sometimes the meal is one steamed lobster in a hammered bowl, grilled halves for the table that wants herbs, corn with char, and a beer that sweats faster than you do. Summer on the Fork is not subtle.
Before you order — the guides
We will not quiz you on Latin names at the host stand. If you want the difference between snow crab and king, or which lobster actually brings claws, use the lobster, crab, and oyster cards at the bottom of this story — they are for reading on the ferry ride over.
More of Long Island’s coast lives on the New York directory. Greenport is the village; the Sound is the view.
Dock first. Fork second. Tag @claudiosgreenport when the tower lands.
Thank you for reading. We mean that.
