From Starr Boggs, the Dune Deck or Annona in Westhampton to the Ice Cream parlor in Bridgehampton, to Bobby Vans for Steaks or Fish, to Pierre's on the border of Bridgehampton & Watermill to Southampton 's SILVERS (one of my all time favorites) to East Hampton to the Laundry to The American Hotel in Sag Harbor and so many others all the way to Montauk to the Dave's Grill or my all time favorite all the way out there- The Harvest, there is alot of wonderful dining to do.
In Southampton , a great town with lots & lots of wonderful little boutiques and eateries, there is unique restaurant/bistro called Silvers. A must go.
Garrett, the owner & 3rd generation of this wonderful " Paris-like" bistro, featuring my choice almost every time I am there- the French Picnic- with country pate', brie, grapes and cornichons, all served over a salad along with dijon and whole grain mustard and a crusty baguette. They call is "like dining in Paris without the airfare". I so agree.
If I don't select that as my lunch of choice, and am a big hungrier, I have the enormous hamburger- served on a brioche roll with large slices of farm fresh red ripe tomtates and field greens. The meet is antibiotic and hormone free and is beyond juicy & char gilled to perfection!
The homemade soups- (there are many) are served in large bowls- a bit pricey but a meal in itself, served along side is a large bowl of crusty bread sitting atop extra virgin olive oil, a touch a fresh garlic & parsley- just heavenly. From the lobster bisque with pieces of tender lobster , to the potato leek (so hearty) to the cabbage soup, the clam chowder, and one of my favorites in the fall & winter- his homemade chicken soup- just like MOM used to make.
The sandwiches are all huge- served on thick tuscan bread such as the enormous and incredibly delicious BLT- not your standard one- trust me! and salads are beautiful and full of the highest quality and freshest ingredients including the lobster salad, over baby greens with fresh steamed asparagus in a light vinaigrette, or the fresh mozzarella, tomato & basil salad.
If you have room for dessert, the chocolate pot au creme is to die for, and are many of the others choices.
If there is room at the bar/counter, you may wish to dine more casually there , which many of the locals do, and there is a lovely wine list as well.
This is a must for lunch when you are out east.
