Andre Balazs' Sunset Beach :: Food, Good. Rooms, Not So Much.

Where: 35 Shore Road [map], Shelter Island, NY, United States, 11965

Sure, it was a long weekend, full of hurricanes and scandals and blue skies...and journos checking out the allegedly French-style digs on Shelter Island at Andre Balazs's Sunset Beach.

We're pleased to hear that the hotel's food is to die for -- a rave review of the Sunset Beach menu recommends the bouillabaisse and the moule frites, two classic French dishes, bien sur.  The writer notes, "With a little help from the Frenchies at the next table, you could almost make believe you're in St. Tropez admiring the Mediterranean."

Interestingly, the writer failed to mention the hotelier's Reserve Sunset Beach Rose.

The terrific food is a plus, but the rooms apparently leave much to be desired.
