Found a spot a block over. The place is nice and spacious, dining area had a fireplace, bar area had some high tops. Service was pretty quick, our waitress was very nice and attentive, our cocktails came out shortly after ordering. We ordered the Chicken and Lemongrass dumplings, they were very good. Perfectly steamed, they were plump and not oily with a nice dipping sauce. I had the Asian Tuna Wrap, on which I drizzled the dipping sauce I saved from the dumplings earlier. It was magnificent. My better half had the Fried Chicken Boom Boom sammich and it was beautifully fried. I had a bit of it, and it too was fantastic. Added this to the short list of restaurants that we'll frequent on the way to Custer.

I came here with my family and we all got a bunch of different appetizers to share (shoutout the potato skins - sooo good!) and I got the bun-less burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was so delicious and the cheese was perfectly melted on top I really really liked it! it's a really fun bar to have a drink hang out and have some great food will definitely be coming back

I don't know why it took us this long to check this place out, but it's great!…read more An event popped up on FB that said they were having some live country music from the formerly local band Audawind, so we decided to go. At around 3:30PM, the place was buzzing. There were lots of people sitting at the food area, and even more at the bar area where the band was. Lots of parking at this place, even though there were a lot of people. Ordered the Double Duck and Leaf Pile Ale, both winners. Got a couple more and tried the Leaf Pile Pie, that was good too. Decided to get food, and was surprised to see a nice selection other than the usual bar fare. They've got a full kitchen, and we got the Grilled Octopus salad, wings, and mac and cheese. The octopus salad was fantastic, don't let the rustic presentation put you off. The band was lovely, and as the night rolled in, they had the floor packed with line dancers and everyone else that just wanted to move with the music. As someone else mentioned in one of their reviews, there were a lot of kids. We'll be back though, but maybe not so early next time.

We randomly selected The North Fork Shack. So glad we did and I'd go out of the way to visit again. Here's a quick opinion: the food was excellent! We had chicken sandwiches that were so good a simple lunch now makes one of the top lunch places we've been to. The chicken was deep fried perfectly, the slaw was home made as was the pickles on the sandwich. I also had a can of beer and the price was fair for our meal. The ambience was plain and I'm not critiquing some fancy anniversary dinner. I'm just saying this is a great place to eat and I had to give them a shout.

Ryan--Principal at Blackstone Real Estate, industrial tilt, naturally--invited me to the Shelter…read moreIsland Brewery, which I assumed was either a euphemism for something aggressively casual or an actual test of my commitment to this dating experiment. Turns out it's a real brewery, unpretentious and disarmingly charming, the kind of place that reminds you not every date requires someone attempting to expense Cipriani. He arrived in boat shoes and the easy confidence of a man whose fund has already exited twice this quarter. I ordered a blood orange IPA because it sounded sporty, he got something called "Summer Shandy," which is essentially beer for people who are afraid of beer. I wore a vintage Cartier Tank Cintrée, my Chanel 1990s flap with 24k hardware (bags had integrity before the euro), and Khaite slingbacks I immediately regretted on the gravel. Beauty, like industrial real estate, comes with inherent risk. Then the pretzel arrived and I understood why people believe in divine intervention. Bronze, glossy, saline architecture. Flaky exterior, pillowy interior, just enough malt to constitute its own food group. It came with beer cheese that could convert the strictly devout and a whole-grain mustard that bit harder than a Kirkland & Ellis term sheet. I made Ryan order a second pretzel, purely for due diligence. He talked about last-mile logistics and "mission-critical square footage," and I nodded because I recognize a solid warehouse play when I see one--predictable yield, limited volatility, the kind of man who could fund both my supplement regimen and my theoretical early retirement without needing validation. Mid-pretzel, I had a moment of clarity. This is what they mean by "quality of life"--warm carbs, cold beer, a man who understands cap rates and doesn't feel the need to perform. No marble counters, no waitlist, no one explaining their "journey" to me. Just a genuinely excellent pretzel and someone who thinks infrastructure is sexy, which, if we're being honest, it is. The Brewery itself: 4.7 out of 5--effortless, genuine, the kind of place you actually exhale in. In finance terms, that's roughly 40 minutes without checking Bloomberg. The pretzel: 5 out of 5, a revelation, the carbohydrate equivalent of finding undervalued assets in a frothy market. Ryan: 4.2 out of 5 currently, 4.6 if industrial cap rates hold--he's cash-flowing, ego-free, and respects a good pretzel when he sees one. If the market turns, I'll be in Sag Harbor claiming I valued him for his personality; if it holds, I'll be back here in September, hair down, pretzel in hand, thinking maybe compounding doesn't only apply to the Mag 7.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Unfortunately, my partner and I didn't really like any of the beers even after trying four or five. (They were out of the hazy, which I might have liked a bit more.) However, sitting outside at the picnic tables with a cup of beer was nice. We were told we had to order food (is this a covid-19 thing?), so we got the pork sliders. For the price ($10), they were pretty small, but they were moist and sweet and tasty. Had to dock a star for the bathroom. It was just a bit dreck, and over the course of the 1.5 hours we were there, there were no paper towels. Pet peeve!

A beautifully designed restaurant, just steps from the beach. Next, we started off with the Gochujang sweet and spicy wings that had the perfect crunch and flavor, definitely recommend giving these a try! For a main I had the burger, and that was perfectly cooked and very tasty. We ended with the Challah French Toast - don't skip out on this!! It was the perfect amount of sweet to end our meal with and my mother and I absolutely LOVED it. On top of the meal, the staff and owners were very accommodating and were continuously checking in to see if we needed anything. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant, and I already can't wait to go back. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you haven't yet, it's absolutely worth the hype.

Step inside, though, and boom--you're transported into an elegant, beautifully designed dining room that feels straight out of a Michelin dream. We waited a bit for our table, but they handed us complimentary champagne, so... patience restored. The $125 prix-fixe menu was worth every bite. Picking a favorite course feels like choosing between yourbfavorite child . The milk bread, oysters, and baked clams were standouts. That celery vinaigrette on the oysters was next level. The agnolotti pasta was unforgettable. I had the baked chicken entrée and discovered a new obsession with turnip cakes. Who knew? Dessert sealed the deal: molten chocolate cake and passion fruit panna cotta. An absolutely perfect mic drop to end the meal. If I had to nitpick, the drink prices lean toward Manhattan territory. But overall, I'm a huge fan and rooting hard for this spot. If you're anywhere near Greenport or Southold, do yourself a favor and book it.
