-> I would appreciate recommendations for restaurants in Shelter Island, New
-> York.  My criteria are fresh ingredients, good execution and creativity, in
-> that order.  Thanks.

Hi,

I can't help with any restaurants on Shelter Island but 10 minutes from the Ferry to Greenport in Cutchogue is a place called Ross's North Fork Restaurant. (Its on the North Road ask on the Ferry for Directions) The real deal here is their Pri Fixe lunch (Dinner is a little pricy) You get the same food as the dinner menu but with 4 courses and a lower price that the dinner entree price.  Chef John Ross uses the freshest local ingredients and does a GREAT job with preperation and presentation.  He also maintains a great cellar, with all French and LI Wines, (no California or any where else) His son did a home page for  him, the url is: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/sanman96/ Another choice for the area is one of the Elbow Room restaurants.  There are 4 of them in different areas on the North Fork.  They offer simply the BEST Marinted Steak.  (again ask any one for dirctions)  It might not fit your criteria (you can't buy a vegetable in the place) but if you eat red meat, you will not regret it.

Best Wishes

George
