In the summer of 2012, four men with deep Southampton roots united with a collective goal of bringing an exceptional pub-style restaurant to the area. A place where locals can experience outstanding f…
I genuinely cannot remember the last time I felt this ripped off by a restaurant. The prices are absolutely outrageous for the quality and quantity of food they serve.
Let’s start with the $18 ranch bacon fries. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS for what amounted to ordinary French fries, approximately ONE piece of bacon crumbled over them, and the smallest container of ranch imaginable. At that price, I expected something considerably more impressive than fries with a bacon garnish.
Then there’s my $21 avocado BLT, which was supposed to come on sourdough bread. I paid an additional $6 to add fried chicken, bringing the sandwich alone to $27. What did that extra $6 get me? What appeared to be one pathetically small chicken tender, cut in half and divided between the two halves of the sandwich. The entire BLT also appeared to contain ONE piece of bacon. For TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS.
My husband’s naked wings were no better. They were excessively fatty, completely bland, and thoroughly disappointing.
I understand that restaurant prices have increased, and I have no issue paying premium prices for premium food. But charging premium prices while delivering bare-minimum portions and mediocre quality is insulting.
This wasn’t simply a meal that didn’t live up to expectations. It was a meal where nearly every item left us wondering how the restaurant could possibly justify what it charged.
If you’re going to charge $18 for fries and $27 for a sandwich, the absolute least you can do is make the food worth eating.
Save your money. There is a difference between expensive food and food that’s worth the expense. This restaurant seems to have mastered the former while completely neglecting the latter.

I only ordered 3 things: Tots, BBQ wings, and Teriyaki wings. Received a tiny bag of literally 20 tater tots (how can you charge over $.50 per tater tot?) and the BBQ wings didn't have any sauce at all. I ended up having to sauce them myself and recook them in my air fryer because they were soggy and gross. Very disappointed.

Breaded wings were mushy and we got a tablespoon of ice cream for $3. Tasted like Bryers. Very disappointing.

I have never been disappointed with food from Steam until tonight. The fall flatbread was dry around the outsides and just a bunch of mush on top. The flavor was boring, spiceless, and a little gross. The berry flavor was overpowering, the butternut squash tasted like bland baby food, and the Brie was barely noticeable. The calamari was worse. It tastes stale. Hard on the outside and leathery on the inside.
We don't live far from the restaurant, yet all the food was cold.
The only thing they did right was the kids burger sliders, however even the fries were cold and tasted like they sat out for hours.
Very disappointed. It will be a while before we think about ordering delivery from them. Hopefully dining in is a better experience.
