Had a wonderful time celebrating our 39th Wedding Anniversary. Food was excellent and our waitress Bianca was a sweetheart. She was kind ,courteous, attentive and efficient. I would definitely recommend The Old Stove Pub!

Glad to see the Old Stove back in the game. Highs: Good beef, properly cooked to order; Excellent, attentive and accurate service; reasonable prices (especially for the Hamptons); good brussel sprouts. A matter of taste: the live music. The volume was "energetic", but not so loud that it made conversation impossible. The performers were good. Lows: the recorded music, which followed the live performance, was a couple of mediocre covers (My Way, Careless Whispers, an Adele song but not sung by Adele) on what seemed to be endless loop, so we heard the same covers of already overplayed songs over and over. The Greek salad was just okay, not close to the level of the beef. The french fries were meh, at best. The oysters were very inexpensive, but also just okay -- much better oysters are a regular feature at East End restaurants, albeit at higher prices The OSP has the benefit of a legacy, but it also carries the burden of that legacy. The steaks at the Old Stove in the old days (1990s, say) were spectacular -- the best in the Hamptons by far -- and the handful of other dishes were terrific. They didn't do many things, but they did what they did at an extremely high level and very consistently. And, of course, there was Coula. Overall, I'd give the new iteration of the Old Stove a "4.2" or so. I'm glad to have them back, I think they can raise their game and I look forward to returning.

The live music was amazing and so personable and they sat us right next to the musician because of our birthday: so thoughtful. Ambiance was 10/10 and perfect for what we were looking for! Food was also so delicious. Servers were fine- just nothing special :)

I was pleased with everything. Only disappointment is the credit card surcharge. Unfortunately an annoying reality so many places.

As someone who has worked was a waitress for 10 years across multiple high end restaurants - it is insane to add $2 to a margarita for a salted rim. And if you’re going to, at least let people know it’s an up charge. It’s the principal. Waiter was great, very sweet. Prices were kind of ridiculous

First time here. We sat in the garden tent. Alone on Labor Day. I had the zucchini strips and ribs. Both were unremarkable and the ribs were clearly cooked a looong time before. Won't be back.

Great outdoor seating for families with children. They greeted us as soon as we left the parking lot. Service was prompt and food was excellent.

The variety of choices is great for a family or group of picky eaters. And they are cooked, served nicely on plates. Service not as good as it could be but the outside and the tent are nice. Eating inside is risky as there is no air conditioning and it's been hot and humid this summer. Supposedly the inside was renovated but not so.

We absolutely loved our dinner! Steaks cooked to perfection, amazing and fresh Greek salad, and such a fun atmosphere. A must visit when you are out East.
Food all around was quite good. Some of the best calamari I've ever had. They couldn't figure out how to make a Bloody Mary which was surprising. Service was great. Prices were astronomical which, unfortunately, has become the norm when dining out in the Hamptons. Had an outstanding bottle of Ch. Neuf du Pape that was quite reasonably priced. Overall it was a very good experience and I am sure we will be back.

Was treated to dinner for my birthday. We waited an hour and half for our food. All four dinners arrived cold to warm, cauliflower gratin arrived cold. Hardly saw our server after order was placed. It was frustrating to watch the tables around us eating dinner as they arrived after we ordered ours. In all a very disappointing experience. Will not return.

We went to Thursday night Pub Night when selected apps are $12.00@. Our party of 4 ordered one plate of dips and pita for the table and 2 apps each. Wines are $12.00 a glass and beer is $7.00 on Wednesday and Thursday. The food was good, but not outstanding American/Mediterranean fare. The restaurant in the summer is staffed by hospitality majors from Eastern European countries and they are very friendly. The setting outdoors surrounded by plantings was lovely. The normal menu is very pricey, but on pub night you get the same ambience on a lower budget.

My husband and I live in the Hamptons year round. We wanted to try someplace new for date night, and Old Stove was this weekends winner. We ordered the crispy rice sushi appetizer, mussels and oysters. All were absolutely delicious! If they could bottle the broth those mussels are in, I'd be their best customer. I wish they came with some nice grilled bread to dip into that incredible sauce, and since we were in public, I refrained from drinking it straight from the bowl! It was THAT good!!! The crispy rice with tuna was the absolute best I have ever had. Super fresh tuna, avocado and jalapeños, and delicious crispy crunchy rice. The oysters were very fresh and delicious. For dinner I got the salmon dish over black lentils with a beautiful mustard sauce. I prefer my salmon medium well, and it was perfect! The skin was like a chip it was so crispy. And the fish was moist and seasoned beautifully. The absolute best salmon dish I have ever had. The lentil salad was beautiful and so fresh and light. A perfect compliment to the salmon. And the mustard sauce really brought it all together. Stunning, stunning dish. My husband got the rib eye...while he said the flavor was delicious, it was one of the fattiest rib eyes I think I've ever seen. Just a very poor cut of meat. It was on the pricier side, and boneless. So it was disappointing to have such a fatty cut. The temp was also on the very very rare side. Being that they were very busy, he didn't send it back. That says a lot for the seasoning of the steak. All in all this meal and experience were easily a 9/10. We sat outside under the garden tent, and enjoyed a few celebrity sightings (which thrilled me way more than my husband). Our waitress was really sweet, helpful on recommendations and attentive without hovering over the table. Although drink service was a little slow. But again, super busy evening so no lost points for that.

One of my favorite restaurants out east! Delicious food, good service and a beautiful outdoors setting! The owner is there always making sure that everything is taken care! And the live music was great, not too loud, so we had a nice conversation over it.
