Great Restaurants of the Hamptons : Eating Well on the South Fork

The Hamptons are blessed - as few other locales in the world are - with a bounty of local food sources. Montauk and Shinnecock are home to two prodigious fishing fleets. Baymen provide world-class shellfish. Thriving local farms produce an ever-expanding variety of vegetables (as well as long-time staples like potatoes and sweet corn.) Local artisans make cheeses, honey, preserves, even chocolate. Add to this cornucopia the thirty vineyards that comprise the redoubtable Long Island wine industry and it's easy to see why the area is irresistible to restaurateurs and foodies alike. Great Restaurants of the Hamptons brings together over 75 reviews originally published in The East Hampton Star.
