    Chicken Mauricio
    Manny B.

    A culinary institution in the Hampton Bays. My go to place for consistently great Italian fare. The food is always fresh and hot. The chicken Mauricio is my fave- don't know who he is but it's a tasty dish! Never a bad meal here.

    We had another great dining event at V P. Last bought (2/13/21). We were greeted with a smile by the manager upon arrival and were taken to a lovely table in the corner of the dining room. The crowd was a nice side, but the tables spaced out very well. Social distancing and staff with masks and gloves were evident. Our waiter Miguel and busperson Saoulda (I hope I got the spelling correct) took extremely great care of our table. Saoulda made sure that the bread and butter stayed full and the table ckean. Miguel started us off with drinks, espresso martinis, beer all were perfect. We ordered our appetizers (fried calamari and a seafood mac n cheese with shrimp, dinner portion). The appetizers were delicious. The fried calamari were light and tender with a side of tomatoe sauce for dipping. The mac n cheese was a big hit too, nice and creamy with an aldente texture with a crispness from baking. (My mouth's watering) For dinner, we ordered chicken florentine, ravioli, and 2 roast ducks. The roast duck was a beautiful portion, the skin was a nice crispness, the meat very moist and tender, full of flavor topped with a nice cherry and wine (best guess) reduction. The duck , as always at Villa Paul, was perfect. The chicken was delicious as well as the ravioli. Dessert was also amazing, I do not remember what was ordered, I know a toasted almond joy dessert was ordered and delicious, I had a single shot espresso. All in all, dinner, nor the service has ever failed us at V.P. It is always a nice treat to go to and we should go more often. Total cost for dinner was $245 for 4. Tip was extra and I am generous :) !

    Peanut Brickle Cheesecake! Awesome

This is a top location and workers were stressing and edgy. Two more people needed at least. In food - Build it they will come! Crowd wise at least. Asked about the Manhattan - no taste offered Just a scoop lifted and comment about it being Manhattan clam chowder . Oh ok so then just give me the small - cant do a quart untested - lol Over comes the New England - eeek Ok so then when told - insisted I told him New England and the classic flinging out of the cup after saving the chowder - Thanked Was grateful for the soup - tipped and thought wow - they need to ramp up the front counter - who were also getting clams - one woman gave a waiting tables away to a new person on the line - heard that stressing out my soup guy - When in the Hamptons chill out and thank them - it's a lot to go from 2 to 100 in a few weeks. Dockers is the only place that nails it every time - but you're going to pay for it. All around ok place for all types of seafood - Manhattan chowder is Meh - watery potatoey - But a few fresh clams - so ok. Their claim to fame is their clams and steamers - fresh and delicious. Nice outdoor picnic tables on the deck before the door. Wait service and cool drinks or beer. Insider a few tables for dining in. Very reliably good. Go to chill out and enjoy real locally made soups and fresh seafood.

Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

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.

    My brother and I were deciding on where to go for happy hour and he mentioned he had been to…read moreOakland's Restaurant and Marina in the past and really liked it and felt we should give it a try. I was game and called the restaurant regarding their happy hour times and was told by the hostess that they do not have a happy hour per se but their bar menu is always available and of course there is lunch and dinner and they always have live music. It is a little off the beaten path and is located in an enclave of restaurants on the water i n Hampton Bays. We walked in and were greeted by the hostess. It is an impressive sized space divided into two sections, a bar area where the live music was playing with seating at the bar and some booth seating and opposite this a larger circular dining room with tables for four and six people overlooking the water. We were seated and menus and a wine list was provided. Our waiter was Joseph Z. He was pleasant,the accommodating and efficient. Our drink orders were taken-a Corona beer for my brother and I ordered a Negroni. We gave our meal orders at the same time. My brother ordered the seafood pasta with a side of French fries-[not shoestring-these looked hand cut] and I ordered the sea scallops and a side of asparagus. The meals arrived shortly and we dug in. My brother enjoyed his food [the French fries looked very appealing] My substantally sized scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly. They were sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes, diced peppers and some greens. The asparagus were cooked well, crisp and very tasty. After our meal and some time to digest, we looked at the dessert menu. My brother opted for the tirami su and I was initially looking at the creme brulee but I had had this recently at another restaurant and then decided on the mixed berry crumble. After taking one bite of the mixed berry crumble, I new it I made the right choice. The dessert came out hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and alongside, a small vat of whipped cream and one of additional mixed berries. This dessert was outstanding. To cap this experience, I ordered a cup of espresso. In summary, the restaurant is clean and well maintained [the restroom as well] The staff is polite and the service is quick. We were there on Mother's Day weekend [Friday] and it is not an inexpensive meal, comparable to what I would have paid for a similar meal in New York City. However, it was well worth the money. It was an experience. I would strongly recommend and I hope to return soon.

When you first arrive, you can tell it's a place that primarily caters to locals, which is a nice change of pace during the summer pilgrimage of out of towners. The bar itself is relatively small, but the bar staff are quick on their delivery. For food, we shared a dozen oysters that were without a doubt fresh and reasonably priced. We had the fluke fish tacos that were some of the best fish tacos I've ever tried, as well as their seasonal special - buffalo chicken soft shell crab (soft shell crab fried like buffalo chicken nuggets, that include a side of buffalo sauce). The food was excellent! We went on a Saturday night and they had live music. The place wasn't overly crowded and it was a really great for a summer date. I definitely recommend checking out the Station Bar if you're in the area, or even taking the ride just to enjoy some fresh seafood and a couple of beers while sitting on the canal.

Any time I'm here on a busy night I'm always shocked at how one small bar (and I'm assuming tiny kitchen) manage to get everyone fed and served. I will say that depending on what kind of night you go here (especially during the summer) you're probably going to experience a bit of a wait to get a drink -- and may not even find yourself a seat for quite some time. But the crowd here is some of the nicest I've encountered. If someone sees you standing and are about to head out, they'll not only give you the heads up, but also introduce you to everyone else they were sitting around so that you feel welcomed in. A nice spot to grab a drink during sunset in the warmer months.
