"With a higher price point and a location on a tame stretch of Route 27 between Wainscott and East Hampton, Highway isn’t the place to start a wild night out. Despite the chaotic-seeming menu, the food here is very good. Go for things like orecchiette with sweet sausage and peas, spicy papaya and crab salad, and a daily bread service with olive oil and butter from Vermont. There are plenty of big round tables that are great for groups, plus semi-private and private dining options. This place is lively, but it’s best suited for a night when you just want some good food and a few bottles of wine." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
"One of our favorite wine shops in the city is operating every day from 12-7pm out of Highway Restaurant in East Hampton. Parcelle’s wine list has categories like “beach wines” and “summer reds,” and it’s all available for same-day delivery from Southampton to Montauk." - matt tervooren
"It might look like an unassuming spot off the main road, but this New American owned by Toms Hospitality (Charlie Bird, Pasquale Jones, Shuko) has a chic interior with black and white photos hanging above upholstered banquettes, and a crowd of heavy hitters who jones for its crab and papaya salad with mint, cilantro, peanuts and lemongrass; and crispy spit-roasted chicken presented on a cutting board." - Beth Landman
"As the name indicates, Highway is indeed right on the Montauk Highway—though the Hamptons version of a highway is a two-way road, so excessive noise isn’t something to worry about, even on the patio. The menu kind of jumps all over the place, with options like crab and papaya salad, wonton soup, seafood pastas, and eggplant parm, but they pull it all off. They also do a nice kid’s menu (homemade penne in tomato sauce or butter) and family-style takeout packages with hearty pastas, chicken parm, and top-notch veal and prosciutto meatballs.
