Steak, ribs, martinis, and celebratory desserts served
"With dark wood and green interiors that feel like a tavern or a country club grill room, this is where to order a martini and a medium-rare steak in town. Run by the cult-favorite Hillstone Group, it features beloved staples like the prime French dip, the kale and rotisserie salad, and a crispy chicken sandwich." - Elise Taylor
"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

"An East End outpost run by the Hillstone group with Polo Bar–like Americana decor (framed flag, vintage pommel horse); it stays open year‑round and draws both locals and summer visitors. Meals can be occasionally excellent (sticky, fall‑off‑the‑bone 'fork and knife' ribs were highlighted), though some steaks have been criticized as oversalted; the dining room reliably provides a lively scene, house martinis, and celebratory desserts." - Matthew Schneier
