Maidstone

The Hamptons


This long-standing restaurant is housed in the pricey Maidstone Inn (rooms run $695 to $1095), and features cuisine from established Hamptons chef Ronald Philipp, who sticks to well-executed classics like cedar-planed salmon, Tuscan veal chops and pan-roasted organic chicken.
