Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Hamptons

Best steakhouse in Long Island. Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. Ty.

Went to meet my longtime friend at Terrain in Westport Connecticut today. Upon entering, I thought I was walking into a terrarium of sorts. I didn’t even realize it was a restaurant.  walking past the beautiful decorations I saw lots of smiling faces; waiters and patrons.  I sat down and was offered a drink right away. The menu was clean and elegantly designed. I liked how it was not overwhelming, but still had a nice range of options. The prices were great considering how lavish the decor was. I don’t think there was anything over $30 But the average I would say was $15. My friend ordered the grilled cheese and I got a medium well burger with aïoli dressing, bacon on top and a side of fries. I was really impressed with the quality of the meat combined with the juiciness of the burger. You never know what you’re gonna get when you Order medium well. The waiters were always on hand and ready to serve, but never gave us the feeling they were trying to rush us out. But we were there after the lunch rush so I don’t know what it’s like during the busiest times. Couple of lattes and we were ready to go. Was excited to explore the other areas of the place. I felt like I was at the botanical gardens with a restaurant growing out of it. It would be a great place to eat when the weather would allow outdoor seating.  Besides our kind waitress, a hostess by the name of Teresa, came by to check on us. She appeared to be a nature-loving enthusiast with an artistic bent. She turned me on to a Portuguese author whom I’m interested in reading. Overall, my friend and I had a great time and now planning on returning the last Thursday of this month. There’s a lot more to experience there not only in food, but in shopping. I could easily drop $1000 at the store, considering all the unique things on display. No hesitation, offering up five stars for Terrain ! After you check it out, send me your comments. Would love to hear from you. @HEARTmyMIND

Every time we come here it's a new exceptional experience. Our waitress Stephanie was courteous, professional and friendly she new why we were there and even though we've been here before treated us like if it was our first time here, she was great. Everything overall from our drinks, food and dessert was delicious and great

We have been regulars over the years as far back as Jewel. Since Bijou and now Halston, Paul remains the top maitre d and Alicia & Kat our best servers. Now we have gone through a variety of chefs but the current one is hitting home runs. The sushi is always the best and we have never come and not ordered a roll, but beyond this, my wife was raving about her Chilean Sea Bass special last night. This is indeed a rarity and was a pleasant surprise. She also ordered the fish tacos as an appetizer and was by far the best we tasted. We always share a quinoa salad which is enough for 4 people but the taste is too complex to pass up. Now I for my main course had the brisket again and the plate is just chock full of savory goodies but bring your appetite for this one. Now as if that was not enough, we still found room for their scrumptious hot apple crisp desert and their version of banana cream pie. My wife who is a very harsh food critic is still raving about last night's dining experience. Like a fine wine, they just keep getting better with time. "Salut"

This place is top rated for all the right reasons. The ambiance is beautiful and spacious, leaving enough room to have tables just the right distance apart to have private conversations. Our server was pleasant and gave a few suggestions on menu items to try. For appetizers we had the wedge salad and lamb meatballs. The wedge salad was good but had a little too much dressing for my liking. A little less goes a longer way. The lamb meatballs were fantastic. Perfectly crispy on the outside and a nice mixture of lamb, ricotta and other ingredients inside. I would recommend this. I saw a few other appetizer items that I wanted to try but wanted to leave room for my main course. For entree I had the striped bass. My spouse had the Delmonico steak. The fish was cooked well, had a nice crispy skin and flaky inside. We shared the Brussel sprouts to accompany our entree and neither of us loved it. It was slightly too charred for me, tasting more burnt than I’d like. It could’ve done with a tad less chili sauce. It needed more of a drizzle and less of a soaking. Overall though, the food and drinks were good. The general manager was very kind and gave us a gift card to return for a drink, as it was my husband’s birthday. Little things like this matter to me: great service, considerate staff, good food, beautiful ambiance. It all makes the experience more worthwhile. I look forward to dining at Prime again.
