"Owner Zach Erdem runs such an action-packed scene on Southampton’s Main Street, that it became the subject of an HBO reality show. Watching the crowd file by is half the fun, but the food is surprisingly good. The super bowl salad with baby kale, sugar snaps, avocado, hemp hearts and quinoa is a winner; and the ethnically influenced American menu runs the gamut from swordfish tacos to pork chop with lentils and plantain." - Beth Landman
"From A Rod to Sofia Vergara, boldfaces flock to this popular spot in the middle of Southampton that is the subject of the reality show, Serving the Hamptons. Fried calamari is so crispy you can hear the crunch; steamed little neck clams are made heartier with the addition of salami; and the Super Bowl salad with sugar snaps, kale, avocado, toasted hemp seeds and quinoa is a satisfying mix of tastes and textures that can be topped with grilled salmon, tuna, shrimp or chicken. Even when the cameras aren’t rolling, watching the crowd on Main Street is pure theater." - Beth Landman
"A buzzy, Italian-accented restaurant in Southampton where high-end menu items have seen steep price hikes — a veal chop at $80 and a white-truffle tagliatelle that jumped from $80 to $190 — provoking mixed reactions among wealthy regulars. Two longtime diners who eat there several times a week stopped coming over a skirt-steak increase from $36 to $48, and the owner, Zach Erdem, reluctantly agreed to roll their bills back to last year’s prices at a loss to keep them happy. The spot has become emblematic of upscale restaurants balancing inflation-driven cost pressures, customer loyalty, and complaints about rising prices (even as some patrons reportedly offer bribes for reservations or don’t look closely at the bill)." - ByBeth Landman
"A Hamptons restaurant where extremely wealthy diners have been willing to pay extraordinary sums to guarantee access—for example, one regular reportedly spent $90,000 to reserve a table for the entire summer (a fee that did not include meals or drinks)." - ByAli Francis
"The Mainstay is a nine-bedroom home set on two acres featuring a chic farmhouse style with brass fixtures, wooden floors, marble finishings, deep-seated sofas, and a long, glassy pool. Sleeps up to 23; from $1,300 per night."
