Eleven Madison Park Summer House is back, serving elevated summer fare like clam and bacon flatbreads and lobster boils, in a laid-back, exclusive setting.
"The more casual offshoot of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, will officially open for the season on May 25. An à la carte menu will be offered in the property’s indoor dining room, covered patio and backyard. Pasta dishes like linguine with clams and mains such as poached lobster with corn and avocado and wood-fired rib eye for two can be found on the dining room menu." - Abbe Baker
"Clam and bacon or corn and truffle flatbreads are on the menu this summer, along with food for groups like a whole fish for tacos that comes in at $95 per person or a lobster boil with Parker House rolls and a seasonal pie for $125 per person." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
"Increasingly prolific Eleven Madison Park restaurateurs Will Guidara and Daniel Humm will return to the Hamptons this summer for a revival of elite pop-up EMP Summer House. The a la carte, exclusive East Hamptons restaurant — only those with an American Express card can make a reservation — initially opened as a way for EMP staffers to work as the pair’s flagship three Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant redesigned. The restaurant’s since reopened, but EMP Summer House was clearly enough of a hit for a revival. Despite limitations on who could book a table, the pop-up sold out most of its tenure and even had a Leonardo DiCaprio spotting toward the end. This summer at 341 Pantigo Rd., the same house will host the summery restaurant that has seafood classics like a lobster roll, as well as outdoor space and corn hole and ping pong in the backyard. EMP Summer House reopens on May 25, with reservations going live on May 1. Walk-ins are accepted, but diners can only pay with AmEx or cash." - Stefanie Tuder
