1. Le Soir
$$$$ | |On the morning of Bastille Day (July 14), 2012, a fire gutted the charming Tudor-style building housing this French restaurant 1¾ miles east of Sayville. To the delight of its loyal fans, Le Soir has made a triumphant return. The fare is still French and oh so rich, including escargots bourguignon (snails in red-wine sauce), sauteed lobster in citrus butter sauce, and farm-raised roasted duck a l'orange. A romantic feel envelops the place, so it's favorite for special occasions like Valentine's Day and anniversaries.
825 Montauk Hwy., Bayport, New York, 11705, USA631-472–9090Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No lunch, Credit cards accepted -
2. Stone Creek Inn
$$$$ | |At this bright and airy restaurant the talented chef-owner utilizes the freshest local produce and seafood—and his considerable talent—to provide a memorable dining experience. Oven-roasted halibut, rack of lamb with Mediterranean spice, and braised Montauk lobster with baby vegetables are among the dishes on the French-leaning menu. Homemade desserts such as ricotta mousse and lemon tart may quite possibly induce a swoon. The dining spaces are elegantly spare, with polished hardwood floors, lots of windows, and white-clothed tables. A $30 prix-fixe is available Monday–Thursday.

3. Tweeds Restaurant & Buffalo Bar
$$$$ | |Housed in the old John J. Sullivan hotel on Main Street, this homey restaurant harks back to the Victorian era and exudes masses of charm—stained glass, chandeliers in old oil-burning style, an 1893 mahogany and marble bar made for the Chicago Exposition, a rich mantled fireplace, and the head of the last buffalo shot by Teddy Roosevelt. Buffalo (bison) meat is on the menu, lower in fat and higher in protein than beef and it tastes pretty much the same, only "beefier." If you don't want to splurge on the $44 cowboy steak, go for the $20 buffalo burger. An organic beef burger is also available. You may have guessed that meat is king here, but vegetarians are not entirely forgotten—try the roast portobello mushroom with homemade ricotta. Tweeds also boasts the biggest selection of bourbons.

4. 18 Bay
$$$$ | |Locavores will love this place for its credentials in sourcing ingredients only from local suppliers, but they'll also enjoy an upbeat yet relaxed dining experience. A four-course chef's menu—including four different antipasti, handmade pasta, a choice of entree, and dessert—is built around local, seasonal products and changes every Wednesday. "Hyper-local" seafood antipasti may include black sea bass crudo with salt-and-pepper cucumbers and green coriander or fried Long Island squid with chilies and mint. Meat, including grass-fed New York strip, comes from nearby farms. Even the flowers on the tables are local. The wines come from near as well as far, and artfully crafted cocktails are made with organic syrups. Outdoor dining is available on the porch.

5. Blackstone Steakhouse
$$$$ | |This is where local business executives go when they want to impress out-of-town visitors. With a posh interior of quarried stone, wood, and fireplaces, and detail-oriented and attentive service, every guest is treated to a V.I.P. experience. Beautifully marbled, aged prime steaks and fresh sushi dominate the menu, which also includes organic chicken breast and the Hawaiian "fresh catch" flown in daily. Al fresco dining is available in its outdoor lounge, and a sommelier can help you select the best wine to complement your meal.

7. Dave's Grill
$$$$ | |Once a fisherman's haunt, this unpretentious yet stylish bistro at the Montauk fishing docks is known for offering the freshest seafood, including the signature cioppino, in addition to creative steak and vegetarian dishes. Indoor seating is in a small, candlelit room or a cozy adjoining bar; outdoor seating is on a deck next to the harbor. For dessert, try the famous "Chocolate Bag." This is a popular spot, but they'll take same-day reservations—call after 4:15.

8. Harvest on Fort Pond
$$$$ | |The glass-enclosed dining room of this cozy restaurant affords stunning views of sunsets on Fort Pond, and the menu is inspired by local fresh seafood and homegrown produce. You might start with calamari salad with red pepper vinaigrette, then try the swordfish picatta with sautéed spinach, capers, olives, and cherry tomatoes, or the pork tenderloin with apricot-apple chutney with watercress pine-nut salad and Spanish prosciutto. With family-style service and often a buzzing crowd of return customers, there's a nice vibe about the place—and entrées are huge.

9. Jimmy Hays Steak House
$$$$ | |Great steaks are the draw at this elegantly upbeat restaurant, and though a meal here doesn't come cheap, fans return for the perfectly prepared food and impeccable service, starting with valet parking that rivals that of New York City's best steakhouse. Favorite main dishes include Black Angus rib eye paired with sautéed spinach and a potato pancake, and Lobster Jimmy (pan-sautéed lobster with lemon, butter, and garlic). For poultry fans, the Tuscan chicken is a flavorful choice. Dessert options include chocolate mousse, peach melba, or crème brûlée. The restaurant is about a five-minute drive from Long Beach. If you plan to share, be prepared for an $8 sharing charge.

Local artist Eric Fischl designed the oven's mosaic mural. Wood-roasted chicken and fish are popular, and the Sunday brunch menu has a good choice of dishes, including wood-oven pizzas.

12. Peter Luger Steak House

13. Pierre's Restaurant
$$$$ | |This sweet little main street storefront with sidewalk tables under the awning always seems to be bustling. Take your appetite on a mini-vacation to Paris, where diners eat close to one another in true Parisian style. Try the roasted free-range chicken or a scrumptious plat du jour, which might include Sardines grillées Eschbèche or BouillabaisseMarseillaise. Desserts such as crepe au chocolat chaudare are too good to share, so be sure to get your own. For those who really want to splurge, play chef for a day and help prepare your favorite meal for a group of your friends. An adjacent gourmet market tantalilizes with prepared foods, hot and cold beverages, gelato, and baked goods, including the popular mini flourless chocolate cake.

15. Starr Boggs
$$$$ | |The dining room of this sophisticated see-and-be-seen restaurant has artwork, white linens, large windows, and simple wooden chairs. The New American fare featuring prime steaks and local seafood is just as attractive. The menu changes daily, and each dish, though it's on the expensive side, is unforgettable. Start with lobster bisque, followed, perhaps, by laquered Half Crescent Farm duckling or pan-seared dolphin. Diners with heartier appetites can opt for the grilled Kobe flatiron steak. There's open-air dining on the patio, which has a waterfall. A $35 prix-fixe menu is available, as well as specials like Monday night's all-you-can-eat lobster bake.

16. The Frisky Oyster
$$$$ | |This modern restaurant is a little piece of Manhattan in Greenport. North Fork sophisticates come for the small, lively bar and contemporary fare, such as Oysters Friskafella with garlic-scented spinach and chipotle. Diners can splurge on the $48, 45-day dry-aged rib-eye steak frites. It's also a popular spot for unique cocktails made with premium liquor. The restaurant does not accommodate children younger than 6.

17. The Palm
$$$$ | |Operating here since 1980, The Palm is classic Manhattan meets East Hampton. Its old-fashioned style fits perfectly with the building, parts of which were constructed in 1699. Usually crowded, the restaurant is well known for its aged prime beef, veal, fish, lobster, and high prices. Side dishes are served family style. Service is generally attentive and professional, however it can get quite busy in the summer, so for the best experience, try going in the off-season. For the Palm experience without the Palm prices, look for promotions and deals like half-price Prime Bites at primetime (5–7 pm Sunday–Friday). Desserts include a bag of warm doughnuts.
