Topping Rose House, Bridgehampton: Culinary Highs and Service Lows…read moreRating: (Food: 9.5 | Service: 6) Topping Rose House remains a bit of a Bridgehampton enigma. As a spot we find ourselves returning to a couple of times a year, the kitchen continues to operate at a gold standard, even when the front-of-house seems to be stuck in a bit of a fog. The Food: A Seasonal Symphony If you are coming strictly for the palate, you will not be disappointed. The freshness of the ingredients is palpable: * Oysters: These were pristine--served icy cold and exceptionally fresh. The mignonette was the standout here; perfectly balanced and bright, it elevated the oysters rather than masking them. * Pea Soup: This was a revelation. It tasted as if the peas had been picked just yesterday; it was vibrant, "green," and utterly delightful. * Lobster Roll: While it was admittedly small in stature (especially for the price point), the execution was flawless. It was bright, crunchy, and avoided the heavy mayo-trap that many local spots fall into. The Service: A Comedy of Errors Unfortunately, the gap between the kitchen and the dining room was wide during this visit. While our waitress was personally lovely, the actual mechanics of the service were incredibly frustrated: * Timing Issues: We were offered bread at the start of the meal, yet it didn't grace the table until we were finished eating. * The Water Gap: Our sparkling water sat empty for far too long. Refills were offered, but like the bread, they arrived only after the meal had concluded. * Lack of Proactivity: There was no offer for drink refills throughout the courses. * Accountability: Most disappointing was the lack of acknowledgment. Mistakes happen, but a simple "I'm so sorry for the delay" goes a long way. Instead, the lapses were never addressed or accounted for. The Verdict: Topping Rose House serves some of the most phenomenal, fresh food in the Hamptons. However, when you're paying Bridgehampton prices, you expect the service to match the caliber of the kitchen. We'll likely be back because the pea soup and oysters are hard to quit, but we'll be crossing our fingers for a more attentive experience next time. mi

We came to dine outside on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't busy, no res and we were sat…read moreimmediately. Our server was a young man, and he was wonderful. Extremely attentive! 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....

I felt buzzed after half a drink, and I'm no lightweight. The service is average (this is a good thing) The ambiance is very casual. I could see why most people in their 20s would love this place. I usually rate a Mexican spot by their Carne Asada tacos but they don't have them here. They Americanized it and call the skirt steak tacos. I wouldn't call it true Mexican, but I wouldn't knock it either because a lot of people don't speak Spanish out here so I can understand why they did it. The Parrot burger was decent. Perfectly cooked and tasty. 3/5 (good score).

The ambiance here is low lit and romantic, lots of candles and wine bottles all around. Our waiter was top notch and took us through the entire menu, explaining all the different kitchens they have on the premises. We started off with the fluke crudo which was refreshing and delicious. We also ordered the pear gem lettuce salad which was as amazing as the waiter described - super well balanced, the nori bread crumbs added the perfect touch to this. We also decided to try the sardine tin which was fun, served with delicious freshly baked bread. We ordered the mushroom flatbread which was better than any pizza I've ever had. We also got the little neck clams which were fresh and flavorful, and the cacio e pepe which was rich with fresh, chewy noodles. We ended with the rhubarb crostata, crumbly and perfect. I don't get the hate on this business, I would come here again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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.

The slow-cooked butterfish was executed flawlessly, but the ribs stole the show; the meat was so tender it pulled away from the bone effortlessly.
