Eat, Pray, Love Handles — Restaurant Week Is Back!

Long Island Restaurant Week: The Hamptons Edition — From Westhampton to Montauk

It’s that magical time again — Long Island Restaurant Week is here.

That means three-course prix-fixe menus, delicious fall flavors, and an excuse to ditch your kitchen and make a dinner reservation stat.

While the Island is packed with great spots, we’re focusing on what really matters: the Hamptons lineup — Westhampton to Montauk. Here’s your insider’s guide to where to eat, what to order, and how to look like you planned this weeks in advance.

Ivy on Main – Westhampton Beach

Modern coastal elegance with a side of Main Street people-watching. Ivy is offering a Restaurant Week prix-fixe menu, featuring seasonal seafood and locally sourced fall favorites.

Chatter Tip: Weeknight reservations are easier to snag — and quieter if you prefer conversation over chaos.

Chatter’s Final Thoughts

  • Book now. These spots fill up faster than Montauk parking on a July weekend.
  • Prix-Fixe Price: Most are offering three courses for around $46 — a steal by Hamptons standards.
  • Dress Code: Smart casual = your friend. Think “I just came from an art opening” not “I just came from spin.
  • Tag & brag: Post your favorites and tag #HamptonsChatter so we can drool appropriately.

Bon appétit, East Enders. Now go forth and prix-fixe like a pro.
