"Also fresh on the restaurant scene is Southold Social with its kitchen helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef François Payard. Highlights on the Mediterranean bistro-inspired menu, which changes based on the season and local farm offerings, include crudo, pasta dishes, and locally caught fish; and his special touch for desserts and presentation, which he’s known for, is as magical as ever. Grab a quick bite between vineyard visits or stock up on provisions for your weekend away at Southold General, a café, market, and foodie favorite also overseen by Payard."
