"Mary Lou’s is a Florida transplant that feels like a piece of Palm Beach sailed right up to Montauk, complete with its patio on the harbor and swinging ’60 lounge interiors. It’s a clubstaurant for the weekend crowd no doubt, serving up wagyu tastings, fried chicken croquettes topped with caviar, and buttered noodles topped with lobster. The over-the-top, kids’menu-inspired luxuries are fun and indulgent, especially if you’re here for dinner with DJ sets, dancing and a little debauchery. Visit for lunch if you’re planning to have a conversation. Either way, reservations are required, and flip-flops are banned." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
