Il Buco al Mare is the Amagansett outpost of New York’s favorite fine dining restaurant—and don’t worry, it lives up to the reputation of its sister restaurant. Ordered octopus and shrimp. -Elise Taylor
If my friends are reading this, chances are they won’t invite me back to their place in East Hampton as Bostwick Chowder House might be the best kept secret on the Montauk Highway. For delicious lobster rolls (hot or cold!), delicious Mahi grilled tacos, and a much-needed patio vibe, you shouldn’t miss stopping by. -Madeline Fass, Affiliate Marketing Editor
Tucked away in the Watermill mall, next to SoulCycle, is the hidden gem Bistro Ete. Owned by a husband and wife team, it’s a Greek-French fusion and a favorite with locals. The cocktails are all delicious… the margarita can be made on a scale of one to ten while it’s hot (word for the wise: four is when you start to feel hot, ten is scorching hot), and escargot , duck wings confit, and zucchini spaghetti are all favorites. End your meal with homemade mint ice cream. You will not regret it! -Alexandra Macon
As dusk falls, Montauk’s Crow’s Nest is absolutely magical. Arrive early — as there will be a wait — but enjoy a cocktail while you wait by the lake. Once you’re seated, ideally with a view of the rolling lawn, order the kumquat ricotta. And if you really want the full experience, book a room or one of the neater cottages.-Lilah Ramzi
Sometimes, especially after a long weekend of socializing, you’re just in the mood for something casual — and, well, carb-y. Best Pizza and Dive Bar, located between Montauk and Amagansett, scores high. It’s a casual yet chic outdoor space perfect for families, where you can dine on a delicious white pizza with sweet onions or a meatball. And, if you like it, they have Wölffer Rosé available. -Elise Taylor
If you want to have a beautiful, unique and noisy afternoon or evening with friends to Sunset Beach on Shelter Island. During the day, this is the perfect venue for DJs and glamorous bands to enjoy. At night it’s a bit calmer. Order some rosé, linguini with clams and watch the sunset. It’s up to you whether you want to stay and have some wine. -Elise Taylor
