Harbor Bistro

The Hamptons


This summer-only waterfront bistro is a local's hotspot, with excellent French, Mediterranean and Asian-accented seafood right on Three-Mile Harbor. The nightly two-course special ($29 plus a glass of wine or dessert) for early birds (5pm to 6pm) is tough to beat in these parts – and you get the sunset to boot! Raucous happy hour.
