Just when you thought your summer dining spreadsheet was complete, the Hamptons restaurant scene went ahead and did what it always does\u2014flipped the table, changed the seating chart, and added four more courses (plus a DJ). From steakhouse takeovers to disco seafood lounges, here\u2019s your definitive, no-reservations-left guide to the new<\/em> kids on the East End block. And yes, I broke the news on some of these. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf5d Moby\u2019s (soon in Sag!?)<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd TBA<\/a>
RUMOR HAS IT… The team behind the OG East Hampton hotspot is doubling down and dropping anchor in Sag Harbor\u2014. Moby\u2019s 2.0 promises pizza, cacio e pepe, and just enough boat-shoe glam to keep your waterfront date night looking \u201ceffortless.\u201d Expect a crowd that smells like sunscreen and Sauvignon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd69 Lucky\u2019s Steakhouse<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 85 Montauk Highway, East Hampton<\/a>
Let us bow our heads. Cove Hollow Tavern\u2014home to flattering lighting, low-key cocktails, and the best damn French fries in the Hamptons<\/strong>\u2014has been taken over by Lucky\u2019s, the Montecito and SoHo steak slinger. The East Hampton outpost is set to open in June<\/strong>, just in time to soak your summer in dry-aged decadence. Will the fries survive? One can only hope. Expect prime cuts, plush booths, and more Burgundy flowing than at a Sotheby\u2019s afterparty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf89 Mary Lou\u2019s<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 474 West Lake Drive, Montauk<\/a>
From Palm Beach to Montauk, Mary Lou\u2019s brings a disco ball and a dream. The vibes are pure 70s\/80s decadence\u2014think caviar towers, wagyu sliders, and cocktails with names like \u201cStudio Fifty-Sip.\u201d It\u2019s not so much a dinner as it is a throwback fever dream with seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0a Gigi\u2019s at Gurney\u2019s<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 290 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk<\/a>
Scarpetta has sailed off into the sunset, and now Gigi\u2019s is taking over the primo ocean-view perch at Gurney\u2019s. Expect steak, seafood, and enough white wine to fill a plunge pool. Opens mid-June, just in time to \u201caccidentally\u201d order a second shellfish tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddc2 Sea Salt at Sole East<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 90 Second House Road, Montauk<\/a>
Melissa O\u2019Donnell (formerly of Duryea\u2019s fame) is helming this Mediterranean reboot, which includes bouillabaisse, crab spaghetti, and monkfish in red wine reduction. It\u2019s like the Amalfi Coast… if the Amalfi Coast had mosquitos and TikTokers in cowboy hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Swifty\u2019s at Hedges Inn<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 74 James Lane, East Hampton<\/a>
Swifty\u2019s has finally returned to the Northeast after cozying up in Palm Beach. Now at Hedges Inn, expect crab cakes, meatloaf, and a dining room filled with people who still own pagers \u201cjust in case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf55 Camp Rubirosa<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 31 Race Lane, East Hampton<\/a>
The red-sauce royalty from Little Italy has moved in for the summer, bringing Staten Island-style pies, house-made pastas, and chicken parm that could probably double as a space heater. You will<\/em> stain your shirt. You will<\/em> not care.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Crazy Pizza<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 47 Montauk Highway, East Hampton<\/a>
This is not your nonna\u2019s pizzeria. Imported from Europe with a SoHo soft opening, Crazy Pizza features spinning dough, yeast-free crusts, and toppings so luxe they need a trust fund. Great spot if your Margherita order comes with a Cartier bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf63 Namiro<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 76C Jobs Lane, Southampton<\/a>
Namiro mixes sushi with swagger\u2014think raw fish, vegan rolls, Korean fried chicken, and enough mood lighting to cause a vitamin D deficiency. It\u2019s chic, it\u2019s sleek, and it\u2019s probably already on your ex\u2019s Instagram stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf3f F\u0113niks<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 75 Jobs Lane, Southampton<\/a>
Chef Douglas Gulija and cousin Skip (yes, Skip) rise from the ashes of Plaza Caf\u00e9 with this new Croatian-tinged culinary playground. Highlights include a $250 chef\u2019s counter and surf-and-turf sliders upstairs. Because why not pair escargot risotto with bottle service?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf1f Ruschmeyers Beach Grill<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 161 Second House Road, Montauk<\/a>
Ruschmeyers has ditched Placebo (both literally and metaphorically) for a new coastal menu: monkfish tail au poivre, lobster spaghetti, and a vibe that\u2019s more barefoot-chic and less \u201cbottle-service-in-Birkenstocks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf0a Bagatelle Montauk<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 500 West Lake Drive, Montauk<\/a>
RIP Gosman\u2019s. Bonjour, Bagatelle. The international brunch mecca has taken over Montauk\u2019s most iconic dockside location and will soon be serving Saint-Tropez vibes, Champagne-fueled brunches, and possibly the highest heels you\u2019ll see on a dock this side of Cannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf05 Wayan & Ma-De at EHP Resort<\/strong>
\ud83d\udccd 313 Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Rd, East Hampton<\/a>
French-Indonesian power couple Cedric and Ochi Vongerichten have moved their culinary empire to EHP, offering sambal-drenched sea bass, pork ribs, and crab fried rice\u2014plus a sunset view you\u2019ll pretend you\u2019re not photographing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the summer scoop, folks. If you need me, I\u2019ll be sobbing quietly into my old Cove Hollow Tavern napkins and praying Lucky\u2019s doesn\u2019t touch the fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, The Hill has just published their list of the top beaches in the US according to coastal scientist Stephen Leatherman. Yes, that’s his real name and no Two Mile Hollow is not on the list but Main Beach in East Hampton and Coopers Beach in Southampton did. You can read all about it here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
