The 29 Best Restaurants In The Hamptons - New York - The Infatuation

"Located just past town, East Hampton Grill is one of the more buttoned-up options in the area. The Hillstone Group owns EHG, so if you’ve been to a Hillstone or Houston’s, you have some idea of what to expect: not too formal, but not too casual either. Think dinner at someone’s art-collecting aunt’s house, complete with the enviable art collection and fireplace. And yes, a new, icy glass to refresh your martini with midway through sipping. The ribs and a nice little salad are the move, though Hamptons-exclusive items like pan-fried fluke and fried bay scallops with cocktail sauce always hit. For a more relaxed evening, you can sit at the bar, still order the full menu, and watch sports on TV. Get a reservation, or expect to wait with a drink on the patio-slash-parking lot." - melissa kravitz hoeffner
