Ah the Hamptons .. the land of overpriced , underwhelming food and service. Not here!…read more I loved Almond. To begin the staff here is remarkable and service oriented. Eric one of the owners is ever present and connected with his guests table by table. The wine selections by the glass remarkable as were the craft cocktails. Especially the almond Margaritas The mezzi platter was so beautiful to look at we stalled to eat it. The pork chop was amazing and large to boot served with brocolini vegetables and corn in a delicious spicy saute The clientele here were so interest, well groomed and fun to gaze at. It feels to me like old Hampton crowd. People who truly know the essence of Hampton life. Fairly priced as we'll go!

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

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive without being rushed, and the food was absolutely on point.

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.

While one could get over this and classify the place as a finger food bar, the service is what made me give this place one star. My food was served (chorizo enchiladas) while the waiter had his thumb in the sauce. I looked at him, he just looked back and walked away. When I paid, we left a generous tip of 25%. The waitress didn't say a word the entire process. She gave me the payment device, took it back and walked away. Would not recommend this place dude to mediocre food and poor service mentality.

I had chosen this place to have dinner with friends from out of town that were vacationing in Sag Harbor. Reviews looked pretty good and fit what they were looking for: good food, water view, not too far from where they were staying. When we drove up, I was seriously questioning myself. The outside looks like a little dated and small. But as other reviewers have said, the interior is very nice and spacious! We were lucky to get a window table although it was foggy so we could not see a lot of the water; just the parking lot and dock. But still better than nothing. I forgot to take pictures of the apps but we shared multiple orders of the burata, fritto misto and salmon tartare (yes, you read that right). All were good and I did enjoy the tartare. For entrees, I got the fish and chips, Cathie got the bouillabaisse, friends got the chicken Milanese special (what a deal!!), Scottish salmon with ramen, burgers, and another bouillabaisse. We all loved our choices but highlights were definitely the chicken Milanese dinner special (because even with slight up charges for certain items, it is an amazing deal!!); and the bouillabaisse. As some other reviewers have said, this is a MUST ORDER! The broth is not too tomato forward but instead is very flavorful with other spices, not just saffron, and the same food is generous and prepared so well! I will come back just for this! My fish and chips were good, even the Cole slaw although I prefer meatier French fries (although these were still good, nice and crispy). Desserts were also very good and service was good after a couple of bumpy starts.

Securing one of the tables by the window overlooking Noyac Bay is definitely a splendid bonus, especially when the summer sun is setting, making it a picture-perfect time to capture the spectacular cotton-colored sky. Reservations are almost mandatory during peak season; wanting to book same day is challenging, however, late evening oftentimes works. A long, dark bar sits by the entryway with cheerful bartenders awaiting. The Bouillasse is a favorite, with clams, muscles, fish, shrimp and lobster in an an unbelievable pinkish-red stew flavored with lovely saffron. I was slightly disappointed the lobster didn't budge easily out of the shell. Nevertheless, the Bouillasse still remains a favorite. Without a doubt, I'll be back for more.

Our server (sorry forgot his name) was genuinely friendly - a rarity in the Hamptons these days - and made great food recommendations. The restaurant is one flight up with indoor and outdoor seating, even our inside table offered fantastic water views. Shared an order of burrata (a special of the day) to start, thoroughly enjoyed the creamy globe of cheese resting on tricolor sauce with toast points. My bouillabaisse, comprised of a large lobster tail, clams, mussels, and white fish, was well spiced with a saffron-based broth and served up with butter-slathered toast to mop it all up. Yummy! Partner's lobster rigatoni was made with plenty of fresh lobster meat and a well flavored creamy sauce. He said it was filling and delicious. Excellent experience overall, would definitely return when in the area.

We started with two unusual and inexpensive appetizers- the heavenly biscuits (2 per order) for $5 served warm with Hampton's organic honey. These biscuits were delicious and I could have eaten a basket full of them. With a cold beer they had just the right amount of savory and honey sweetness. The deviled eggs (3 per order) with special relish for $12 were a perfect starter. Not to heavy - melt in your mouth. Onto the entrees: my triple cut brioche roll fried lobster po boy sandwich $48 was toasted with butter, tomato and lettuce and crispy tender lightly fried lobster pieces. With a Nice sandwich remoulade. A bit expensive, but it was a large sandwich full of lobster meat. A little hard to eat because of the height of the sandwich. My wife tasted my sandwich and thought the lobster should remain cooked but not breaded and fried. To each their own. The Nashville style hot chicken sandwich came on the same three cut brioche bread with the shiny top, perfectly toasted ($36). Here again - delicious tender chicken and a large meaty sandwich. Beer and wine service was spot on with a leisurely time pace between appetizer and entree. No room for the two offered desserts- but the key lime pie looked scrumptious.

I've been to Cowfish a few times, but this visit was so good that I had to write about it…read more The property is gorgeous, located on the South Shore of Long Island in the Hampton Bays. The restaurant is huge and always busy. They have two levels, and while I prefer sitting upstairs, both spaces are great. This time, I tried their New England Clam Chowder for the first time, and it was phenomenal. There wasn't a grain of sand to be found, and it was absolutely loaded with meaty, perfectly cooked, tender clams. The flavor was unforgettable. It managed to be creamy without feeling heavy. You know when a chowder leaves a thick coating of cream in your mouth that lingers long after each bite? This wasn't like that at all, and it was perfect. I also enjoyed the Caesar salad. I've seen it presented this way before, and while it does put a little more work on the diner, it's really not a big deal to use a fork and knife. The lettuce was crisp and cold, the dressing tasted homemade, and the crouton crumble was a game changer. I decided to add the seared blackened scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. The upcharge was a little more than I would have liked for the amount, but it was worth it. After all, who doesn't love a scallop straight from Montauk? That scallop traveled less to get to my plate than I did to get to Hampton Bays. The drinks were festive, the wine was cold, and the atmosphere was lively. It's the perfect place to bring friends and family and have a great time.
