New American Restaurants near Sag Harbor, NY

“This is up there for best meal I've had. For appetizers we got a dozen of the East coast oysters which were very fresh and sweet, The Naughty Blu was very good and, when asked, got a generous amount of extra blue cheese olives, the Apple Bread Pudding was amazing and a decent size. But the star of the meal was the Local Flounder Francaise. The fish was flaky and well seasoned, the veggies were perfectly cooked and the beurre blanc sauce was nice and rich. Overall, *french kiss*. Giving 4 stars though because, while our server was nice and attentive, they didn't know whether one dessert had nuts in it or not, which one person in our party was allergic to. Luckily, before she ate it we luckily caught it in time. But with nut allergies being so serious and common you should know what does or does not have nuts in it.“

“Apparently this place just got a new chef, so ignore previous bad reviews. Went for brunch with a local friend and it was delicious. She had the banana stuffed pancakes and I had avocado toast. Service was friendly and upstairs dining room was cozy with views of water. Recommended!“

“Stopped in last night because the menu looked interesting. Food, drinks and service were all excellent. My girlfriend and I both said it was probably the best steak tartare we ever had. The real star of the show was the dry aged duck. Probably a top 10 dish of my life. The only thing that kept me from giving it a full 5 stars was the inability to order from the bar menu while sitting at a table. I understand not getting happy hour pricing at the tables but all the items should be available to order. I really wanted to try the Khachapurri.“

“Wow. What a great experience! I was first introduced to Chef Payard as the pastry chef at a private club. Mind was blown. So I checked out his restaurant and was impressed with everything - the service, the menu, the creativity, the atmosphere, and the incredible food from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and check it out.“

“Very nice atmosphere staff n owners chef are the nicest people My daughter is an employee and we were invited to dinner there n no other job that my kids have done that for the family! Beautiful place n beautiful people! The food is amazing“

“As a starter, we opted for the Chicken and Lemongrass dumplings, and let me tell you, they were absolutely divine! They're delicately steamed and served in a zesty ginger glaze, accompanied by a Thai dipping sauce. They're so delicious, you don't even need the dip! The marinated filet mignon steak tips also never fail to impress – they're consistently tender and bursting with flavor, making them a must-have every time we dine here. As for the main course, we invariably choose the baby back ribs. Good ribs are hard to come by in New York, but this spot has by far the best ones on the North Fork! The prices are reasonable, the cocktails consistently deliver on flavor, and the service is consistently excellent... all in all, just exceptional across the board.“

“Ate there only...priced as expected.Food & drinks: My partner found that a good fish wasn't well served w/a sauce of lobster.. (sometimes simple rings the bell!) Sadly nothing vegetarian or gluten-free offered - (mashed potatoes a bit watery?) Creme brule cinnamon-y?? We ate in the downstairs bar - described by true friends as 'cosy'... the service was perfect! It's always full it seems so res a good idea.“

“Not my first time I've been blown away by the Duck entree here. Tonight's was EXCEPTIONAL, and I eat duck everywhere in the East End. Ambiance: groovy room, alive but not too loud Service: smart & knowledgeable, but he 'got' that we were too - great menu guidance, not pushing anything. I trusted the opinions. (not always the case!) Prices: were kind for the zip code. Wine list as well.“

“Very nice restaurant, a part of an inn. very specious inside but there is also sitting outside which is nice as it is between 2 buildings and you have plenty of shade. We had the Claude's Tacos (recommended), Fish and Chips ( a it blend, but I loved it), Lobster Roll (on a ban, but still excellent).“

“We are so glad to have tried this place despite the word "cafe" in its name. Everything we ordered was delicious, and beautifully presented. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Really like the decor, simple, clean and peaceful. Definitely on the return list, and if I were you, I would ignore some of the not so positive reviews of the place and give it a try!“

“Safe for those with food allergies and an all-around good time. Everyone is super friendly, too. Super close to main street for easy shopping or a pretty stroll after a good meal.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free is the big one, but they also have vegetarian and vegan options.“

“From the owner welcoming you at the door to ther sing along music playing overhead, then comes there food- OMG! Plate portions are huge so don't order too many appetizers-2 can share with a party of 4. Meals are also large along with dessert, so again you can share with your partner. Homely feel, not Hamptons fancy pants, snobby over priced kind of place, but this food and service is worth it. We are customers for life now and will work our way thru the menu until we have eaten it all. Victoria and her husband who own the place and are your bartender and server, love it, what a story!“

“I cannot praise this restaurant and the staff enough. My boyfriend and I had the most incredible night here, EVER! We were so lucky to find this place last minute.The decor is beautiful, from the bar, the dining room, to the smoking lounge. The manager/bartender/server for the night, Dylan, went above and beyond to give us a great experience. Our waitress was friendly and polite, we were even lucky enough to meet the head chef and sous. We also met the wonderful Jazz couple that performed the night we went. We stayed here for *hours*. No exaggeration!FANTASTIC FOOD AND DRINKS!! And for someone who eats at a lot of places, the pricing for everything was more than reasonable, especially for the quality. I still tell the story of my visit here, and i’m going to for years to come. I am so excited to go back with my friends and family. If you’re considering any restaurant in Southampton, for real, try Main Prospect.“

“We sat at the bar to watch a basketball game. Sara was the bartender, hostess, waitress and took the phone orders too!! She was amazing!!! She was relaxed, attentive and friendly while she ran the entire place! BBQ was great, but Sara MADE the experience super! An incredible asset to the business!!“

“We are visiting the Hamptons and stumbled upon the Springs Tavern and Grill. The atmosphere was warm and very nice. Every person we interacted with was so nice and pleasant. This is a local hang out however we felt very welcomed as tourists.The food was 10/10! The short rib was a very generous portion and one of the best I have had. Someone in our party had the bolognese and said it was fantastic! Another had the burger and gave it 10/10 but said the fries were amazing too!John was our server tonight and he was very friendly, attentive and knowledgable about the menu. Super friendly too!“

“We and our friend are elderly - the food and service were exceptional. We would like to commend the young lady who served us (did not catch her name) as absolutely outstanding from start to the finish - carling, attentive, amusing and simply a lovely person. Please pass our appreciation to her - Reservation at 6pm - Brashich. You should be proud of her. Neboysha R Brashich“

“My husband and I were getting desperate to find an interesting restaurant in the town of Southampton that didn't charge $31 for a plain Caesar salad and yet had good food and ambience. T-Bar surpassed our wishes to the point that we ate there 3 times during our month vacation in Southampton. The meatballs were superlative and the fish dishes unparalled. But on our third visit we found out that the best was yet to come as we decided to try eating at their outside area. It was bustling and beautiful. You'd never know you were on a street. A must go to.“

“SOOOO GOOOOD!! ~ such a FUN EXPERIENCE ??? trying the most AMAZZZZING FOODS~ you won’t find your typical run of the mill items on this tasting menu! Each dish is curated with the most unique ingredient pairings~ things you would never think to put together but are SOOOO GOOD!! Plus top it off with some wine OR you can bring your own for a corkage fee! DEF RECOMMEND!! PS~ our menu started out with baked sourdough bread~ of course even though I prefer an Atkins lifestyle ?, it looked soooo good I had to eat it~ but don’t get toooo full to fast! Meaning don’t get full on the bread because the next dishes to come are more than enough to get full so pace yourself~ ????~ XO!! ???“

“One of the best meals I've had at VSC since it opened. They've upped their game by having multiple specials (in addition to their longstanding daily one). They are trying to source locally as long as quality is maintained. I had the bay scallop appetizer. Could have been my entree. So delicious, the scallops were from Nova Scotia as the Peconic Bay ones are in short supply. Lobster pot pie also lovely not too creamy. Tarte tatin was crispy. Jake our server was attentive and had a sense of humor.“

“Our anniversary dinner was so special. Thank-you for always going above and beyond for all your clientele! The food was fantastic (the pasta is heaven) and it was nice to see friendly faces. Service was friendly, prompt, and we can't wait to come back!“

“Cozy place with great service and even better food! Four of us had dinner here on a Thursday night and almost had the place to ourselves. We had the ribs, pork chop and firecracker shrimp bowl. A standout was the fries that came with the ribs - everyone at the table shared them and loved them!! Overall a really nice experience.“

“Chef Justin Finney and his entire culinary team are unquestionably one of the finest in the Hamptons, continuously executing a beautifully diverse & delicious menu. Peter, Rosa, Freddie, Arturo, Julian and many more dedicated hospitality professionals on the service team consistently deliver exceptional, Michelin caliber service out front that mirrors the passion for great, locally sourced cuisine delivered daily by Finney & team.The best of what’s around.“

“Great food and great service. I had the Berkshire pork and my friend had the swordfish. They were both wonderful, simply prepared very fresh and properly cooked. The ambience in the place is very nice and the artwork on the walls is very pleasant all in all a great experience with definitely go back again.“

“Service is excellent. $4 Biscuits nice treat. Ribs are to die for. Stringy fries were hard to eat they were so thin. Creamed corn was insane. Chicken sandwich was spicy but really good. Iceberg wedge salad delicious but quite small for $28. Maybe 1/4 head of lettuce, beets and tomato were great with it. Mixed drinks $20 but what else to expect in the area. They were pretty good. Overall, looking forward to going back.“

“Used the groupon which is a great deal! our family ate dinner and everyone enjoyed their food! Even better they are serving Montauk beer! Their interior is not the best atmosphere...very casual but our waiter was great. The outdoor back patio is great! covid masks and partitions at bar to tables sanitized made us feel safe to eat!“
