    Winter in the Hamptons can feel quiet, but Bobby Van's delivers the kind of dinner that reminds you why this place is special year-round. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive without being rushed, and the food was absolutely on point. From the moment we sat down, everything felt smooth, relaxed, and well-executed. Dinner was great -- perfectly prepared, generous portions, and exactly what you want on a cold night out here. It's the kind of dependable, elevated experience that makes Bobby Van's a standout when so many other places close for the season. Highly recommend if you're in the Hamptons this winter and want a great meal with consistent, top-tier service.

    After shopping with mom in town, we wanted to grab a quick lunch before heading back home about a 1.5 hour drive. It was a beautiful warm afternoon and we had lunch outside the restaurant. Such a cute spot. Mom had a glass of red wine and I had unsweetened ice tea. Both excellent. Our lunches were excellent and lots of food! We even had leftovers. The server was great and very attentive and friendly. We will be back soon.

    Another great meal ... lunch ... in the Hamptons. Seated promptly (reservation was helpful). Crowded inside, but comfortable. Server was excellent; all staff were friendly and efficient. The food? Delicious. Clams on the half-shell a nice start. But, the linguine with mussels and clams ... wow! Fantastic dish. Loaded with fresh tasying mussels, whole clams, and chopped clams, and the pasta was tasty too. My wife and our friends enjoyed their fishes too. Really good lunch!

    Good food with mediocre service. We had our drink orders screwed up multiple times. They brought our main course without bringing forks after taking away our forks with the appetizers. I asked for a beer and they brought me an iced tea. After repeating my beer order, he said he remembered me ordering a beer. Then I repeated my beer order and the waiter said they didn't have that beer. How is it you can remember a customer ordering a beer and then not bring a beer... I am so perplexed. The Chili Calamari was fantastic. 5/5 The Sirloin steak was pretty good.

    We had a nice dinner here on Sunday night. I had the French Dip sandwich and it was delicious. It tasted like French Onion Soup on a sandwich. The bread was crunchy. So it's definitely need the "jus". The Jus was quite tasty and not too salty. I would recommend. My friend had the Surf & Turf, which he enjoyed. The steak was cooked perfectly, as it should be since Bobby Vans is known for their steaks. My girlfriend had the Chicken Milanese. She said it was just OK. The breast needed to be pounded a little thinner. It looked like a big thick chicken breast. Not at all appetizing looking but I would probably not have ordered chicken at a steakhouse. Service was great. Overall, it was a very nice experience. I would come back. I hope the chef revisits the chicken preparation. I've had this type of chicken at any number of restaurants and La Parma probably does it best. If the manager happens to read this review, check out La Parma's version of it and bring it to BVs.

We started with the chopped salad which was the best part of the meal. Great dressing and enough for 4. My husband and I counted on splitting the penne bolognese. We were shocked when it arrived at the table. It was a portion for one at best. Pasta was a bit overcooked and the bolognese was not a rich tasting sauce. My friend had the salmon- again enough for one NOT FAMILY SIZE PORTION. Our other friend had veal marsala.It was a bit tough. Not family style portion. The food was at best fair. We all took a good look around deciding not to return. Ambiance was OK- noise level was to a level where we could barely hear each other talk to one another and hear what the other was saying.

Contrary to what you may have heard, the portions are not "family style" like Carmine's. Carmine's entrees can feed a Family. A&S entrees...a Family needs to chip in to cover $35 for pasta w olive oil and garlic. Went in w high expectations which lead to extreme disappointment. I could go on. Suffice to say, nothing was good. Service is like Italian Restaurant Summer Camp. The Campers are not good servers. The food is lousy, but hey at least it's expensive! This is The Hamptons after all. I absolutely, positively have had better meals at Olive Garden and I don't feel good about having eaten at Olive Garden. Avoid.

Told hald the things on the menu we wanted either were not there or they told us to go out back to the outhoise which was a bkery. Upon entry to the bakery we were told the place know for baguettes was out of baguettes! So i ordered a ham and cheese on sour dough. They told me no and only had prosciutto and cheese bouquets. I thought you were out of bougettes. They barely spoke english. Did not understand my order and was charged for something i did not ask for and because they didnt know how to operate the machine machines they told me they would trade the wrong order for two extra sandwiches, which is what I had ordered to begin with that they told me they were out of. Then after waiting 15 minutes, I was approached by a gentleman who came outside and said we can only give you one of the sandwiches. And that I would have to pay an additional $16 after paying $54 for two croissants. Seriously you can go kick rocks. You're serious with shit from the beginning and not only me, but the customers in front of me had issues and the customers behind me also had issues. I don't know if this place opened up yesterday but they need a serious course and how to treat customers and how to work your system once again this place is super sucks. They could shove their baguettes up there. You know what

And I can say that was the best crab cake I've ever had in my life. And I'm from Maryland. You can tell my influencer level photo skills leave a lot to be desired but trust me it was phenomenal. Plus our 6 month old will officially be able to say her first real food will be from L&F. And she seemed to love that. My sister goes on the regular and everything she gets from there is great.

Everyone always gripe about their pricing, but everyone still uses them, lol. I guess Loaves and Fishes should thank their friend, Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa) for publicizing it as one of her favorite places in the Hamptons. It's definitely expensive, but so are most other places in Sagaponack, and the surrounding area. I've had a wide variety of their food at gatherings. Top notch and always really fresh. However, I must say that the in-store selection is pretty limited. I get that the store itself is small, yet cute, but just know that the food options are fairly minimal. For our first visit, we got some typical picnic foods (fried chicken, cold deli salads, etc.). We also got a very small portion of their lobster salad. I've always liked it, and just wanted a small taste. I say small because it went for something like $75/pound. I've been told that it can go for $100/pound. For me, that's ridiculous. There's no high end caviar on it or anything, lol. Honestly, I've had my go-to spot for lobster salad here, and this place is NOT it. I've always loved their desserts. Like every single thing I've ever tried. But, at the store, I got a slice of meringue cake that they just brought out, and it was THE BEST!! Omg, it reminds me of meringue cakes I've had in Europe, but could never find as good in the States. I'd be willing to pay anything for THIS. Haha. On our first visit, customer service was great. On our second visit, the employee (an older woman) was really unpleasant. She didn't even want me taking pictures of the store (not of her). Strange.

I couldn't believe he was only 19 years old, very professional. I ordered the Cucumber Fizz, which I honestly hated. I don't think I've sent a cocktail back in years, but it wasn't a proper gin fizz at all. It just tasted really muddy and was missing some citrus. My girlfriend got a glass of Whispering Angel which came out very cold and she enjoyed. We ordered the 30 grams of caviar for $148. The caviar itself was very tasty and came on ice. I didn't love the crème fraîche, it was missing some onion or chive on the side (granted, that wasn't stated on the menu, so that's okay because it came how it was intended). However, I was NOT happy with the blinis. They weren't tasty, they were all different shapes and sizes, some had crusty edges, some had curled-up edges. They just didn't look like there was much care put into them, especially for the price. We also shared the lamb- ordered it medium. Two of the pieces came out well done, and one medium. Yes, the sauce was tasty, but the meat, again, for the price, was just not cooked correctly. I was starving at that point, so I told him not to worry about it and that they didn't have to make it again. Our waiter was great though, offered to send out a new one but we declined because we needed to get going. Also shared the squash blossom quesadilla which I was psyched for. I love squash blossoms, but there was just wayyyy too much cheese in it, not enough seasoning. I get that it's a quesadilla, but the cheese was overwhelming. The jalapeño sauce also didn't really go with it for my preference. Overall, this experience just did not even come close to being what we thought it would be. They did take 2 drinks off the bill to offset the well-done lamb, very nice and for sure appreciated it. But overall, I would never come back. Made sure I tipped our waiter 30% because none of the issues were with service. But blah! The ambiance is pretty both inside & outside but absolutely skip this place. Every dish was missing something. Expected more from a JG spot....

As seen in the pictures, my wife got the hanger steak sandwich with fries and I got the eggs Benedict with the lobster flambé ( added an extra egg ). Absolutely delicious as always. We also had a couple cocktails which were outstanding. My "napoleon old fashioned " may have been my favorite drink I have had since my old fashioned I had a nobu about 5 years ago. Only knocks is my wife's steak was overcooked. She asked for med-rare but it came out med-well. We didn't say anything because it's all about flavor and the flavor was there. Other than that, delicious. I forgot what they called their actual dessert but to me it's an affogato which was good. Now, here's why it only got 4 stars and not 5 : THEY TOOK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE OFF OF THE DESSERT MENU!!!!! Pierre? Say it isn't so. Honestly, my wife and I come out an east a bunch of times a year. Your restaurant is usually on our radar. For me, it's for the mousse. It was so decadent, light, and just oh so good. Sad to see it go. Hopefully it comes back. I have to believe it was popular enough where enough people will say they miss it. All in all, can't ever miss when going to Pierre's. Excelllent French cuisine.

I had decided…read moreon the lobster pasta before we left, and my friend had decided he was going to have their chicken entree. When we got to the restaurant we were immediately informed that neither of these dishes were available that evening. Very dissapointing, especially since the number of listed entrees was somewhat limited anyway. The restaurant at the time was mostly empty, and we were there early, so it wasn't a case of everyone before us ordering these entrees and depleting their inventory. This was just a case of very poor inventory management. I was also quite put off by the restaurant putting a 20% automatic gratuity on the bill. It's not the amount that upsets me, since we always add at least a 20% tip to every meal we eat out. What bothered me was that this charge was never announced by the waiter, and it appeared only in tiny print on the small and difficult to read check. Also, there was a line on the check for adding a "tip". Mind you, it did not say "additional tip", which would alert someone that the tip was already inluded. Since many people do not check their bills carefully, I'm sure that many people have inadertently double-tipped. This hard to detect tipping scheme came off to me as a way of getting some people to tip twice. This is just unethical. The food was ok, and the serice so-so. Overall, this was not a good dining experianece. We will not be going back.
