"Chef Douglas Gulija, who ran Plaza Cafe for 30 years, presides over Fēniks in Southampton, along with his cousin, Skip Norsic. The name is a nod to their Croatian ancestry. The spot has a chef’s counter starting at $250 with dishes such as corn panna cotta and escargot with herb risotto, as well as an a la carte menu on the ground floor, and smaller bites like surf-and-turf sliders in the upstairs lounge." - Beth Landman
