10. Dockside Bar & Grill

Reviewed By StephenN1694
Yeah my review is late but it's still all good. During our Hamptons trip, we made our way to Sag Harbor to check out the town and had no dinner reservations. After walking the town, getting ice cream, taking pics and the girls ducked into a couple stores, we decided to grab dinner. We looked up trusty ol TA and decided to walk to Dockside. The place was packed and so we put our names down and said you know what, we'll go grab a spot at the bar. Luckily for us, I got there in time for a couple to leave, leaving 4 chairs together so I grabbed them all for us. Little did we know, we would be there for a bit so thanking our lucky stars here. We started with some drinks and thought maybe let's do a couple apps while we wait. So we ordered some calamari, some spring rolls and a dozen oysters. We also were there long enough to get 2 rounds. Our server was Lucie (according to my receipt) and she was great. She let us try some samples of wine before deciding. She kept our water glasses full and was a good source of banter. We hung out at the bar for about an hour (told you we were there for a but) and cost of 2 rounds, the 3 apps, tax and tip, the bill came out to about 190 bucks - nothing in the Hamptons is cheap unfortunately. We would say that hanging out at the bar all night would actually be a great way to spend the evening. But this was not all for us. Our host came and told us our table outside was ready and so we closed our bar bill and walked outside. Full disclosure - we told them we were good inside or out and we got a table outside. Outside is nothing special - you're on the land facing side of the street not the water facing side so the view wasn't all that special. We sat down and got our menus. At this point, we've had some food and we're 2 rounds in but we soldiered on. We decided let's all do an entree and share an order of scallops. Abe got the salmon, his wife the lobster bucatini. I got the pot pie and my gf the steak. We also ordered some chowder and a bunch of drinks. Our server was pretty on point - Ademar from Florida who was working the Hamptons during the summer (he said he does this yearly and he was very good - even taking Abe's salmon back when he said it was too salty and making him a new order). Tax, tip, 5 entrees (including scallops that we shared), 1 round of drinks - bill came out to 315 bucks or so. So end of the day, 500 bucks but 3+ rounds of drinks for 4 people, 3 apps at the bar, 5 entrees and chowder at dinner, tax and tip, 2 ways to experience Dockside - either the bar if you have to wait or not or if you're lucky enough to score a table quickly if you don't already have a reservation - both ways to experience Dockside would be a good way to spend the evening in Sag Harbor.

We went for dinner on a Wednesday night and sat in the dining room side. Quiet and pretty ambiance. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and one entree. The squid appetizer special was good, as well as the burrata and spring rolls. I got the clam chowder soup which was so flavorful. I was so full I only tried the filet mignon entree. Service was on point! I would definitely return here.

This beautiful restaurant is situated by the water with some fantastic views of the boats and water. We came to this place for late lunch or early dinner. They donât take a reservation for two but they said they have a table at the time we called them. We got there and found a valet parking, quite a big parking space here. Then we followed the path walk to the restaurant. Along the way thereâs a nice garden all around. Beautiful decorations inside and outside the restaurant. We had a table right away, by a glass window. We had Brussels sprouts for appetizer. This one was quite salty. I didnât care much for this. Then my entree was the swordfish that was served with corn and couscous. This one is highly recommended! The fish was fresh and the taste was excellent! Hubby had the Cowfish burger. I tried a piece. The fries was good, not greasy, and the burger was pretty good. We adored the ambience. The service was excellent. We had Allegra serving us. She handled the table really well. After the meal we took a walk outside to take some fresh air before going to the valet. We had a nice experience and hope you will too. Cheers!

5. The Tackle Box
Reviewed By HonestEvaluator
It's amazing to me that someone who's supposedly a veteran in the restaurant business (as was advertised in all the local newspapers) would open up a restaurant that so clearly wasn't even close to being ready. We were looking forward to trying the Tackle Box for lunch several weeks ago. The restaurant is very conveniently located in a space in Southampton that was previously occupied by the popular (and far better) Little Red. I will commend the new owner on some of the decor changes, including the blue painted bar area, which is quite attractive. However, when we sat at the bar we immediately noted that the chairs were too low for the height of the bar, making eating there both uncomfortable and awkward. When I commented on that to the bartender he said, "Yeah, we've heard that from other customers too."I had a crab salad that had to be among the most uninspired and boring salads I have ever seen---nothing more than some green lettuce with avocado smeared along the bowl and a glob of crab at the top. Not a single other vegetable or garnish in the salad. Pretty tasteless and not at all visually appealing. For this I was charged $22. My friends had burgers (not bad) but accompanied with French fries that tasted as though they had been prepared earlier in the day. Although described as "budget friendly", the prices were not inexpensive, and worse, way out of line with the quality presented. I am very familiar with Hamptons and New York City prices, and willing to pay them, but not for food this average or even below.The atmosphere in the restaurant can best be described as lukewarm and low energy, not at all welcoming or warm. The bartender was polite, but seemed more interested in talking to the hostess (who never once acknowledged us) than in interacting with the customers. Adding to the lack of atmosphere was the fact that the Home Shopping Network appeared on the bar television the entire time we were there. Really? Management seems clueless as to what customers in a restaurant want to experience. Trust me, we didn't go in to be entertained by the staff, but some cordial interaction, particularly at a new restaurant trying to make its name, would have been appropriate. It's possible that part of the problem with our experience was that the restaurant had just opened (and I'm certain that's what management's rationale will likely be), but unfortunately, you get one chance to make a good impression, and this restaurant didn't. If you're not ready, don't open, or certainly don't charge customers top dollar during your "experimental stage." Frankly, we were embarrassed that we'd taken our out of town guest there, and wish we'd have gone instead to any one of a number of far better choices in the area.

This is a casual place with an emphasis on bar food with a limited entrée menu. Space is decorated in a beach theme and noise level is quite high. Service was pleasant if rather disorganized and several items plated incorrectly. Food was good with no surprises. There are a number of event nights and a daily happy hour promoted but were not part of this dining experience.

This was once adorable, with the garden in the back, and bar room feel inside, some how, the food is not at all as good as it once was. My tuna was awful and not of great quality, the seaweed was dried out, and fresh ginger tasted like it was left over from last week. My husband clam chowder was watery..We had to ask for bread, even the olive oil tasted poorley..Service was very slow..The help was nice..The bathroom was clean.I doubt I will rush back.Hi there. I am disappointed to hear this feedback. Please know that this is not the norm for our restaurant, and is not the standard we hold ourselves to. We want all of our guests to have a great and positive all around experience with us, and knowing this was not the case for your visit is saddening. We hope that you visit us again in the future.

We have not gone here in years. Extensive menu should please just about anyone. Mostly burgers and apps. Service not great, but acceptable. Runner brought our 2 appetizers to share between 5 people, and did not give us any plates to make sharing easy. Food was good.Dear Jackstraw66,I was there all day and night because of the Superbowl. It was seriously crazy during the day and slower at night.We apologize for the lack of attention. We are assumming you were there for dinner. Correct?Your runner was new, so we are sure it was just an oversight about the small plates. Let me know if and when you are planning to come back, we would like to give you a complimentary appetizer!!Thank you!!

We spent the weekend in the Hamptons and took advantage of the East End Restaurant week special and we were not disappointed. Everything was delish!!! Amazing! We sat the the bar area and our bartender was very attentive and nice. We can't wait to come back and try some other dishes on the menu.
