Best Brunch Restaurants in Amagansett

Summary: One of the best restaurants in Sag Harbor, great view from the upper floor (especially before nightfall), a welcoming ambiance, and prompt service. The food aspires to Top Chef status, but when we were there on Thanksgiving Day, 2024, it didn't quite make that cut. The two starter courses (I had soup and a generous portion of crabmeat) and desserts were fantastic, but my main course choice of traditional turkey seemed to be a pileup of dark meat left over from other customers' preference for white meat. But we had a good time, and the customers were a pleasant mix of families and friends. Since it is part of a hotel, the restaurant was open on Thanksgiving when many restaurants were closed, and we were grateful to get a reservation anywhere close to the day. The price was fair given the day. On Open Table, I don't remember any warning that there would be a $99 prix fixe per person for a four-course meal, plus tax and the required 21% tip (plus a suggested option to add more). This could add up to a surprise for a family. The restaurant website in one place says there is a $50 per person cancellation fee. and in another, it says $100 per person. But these are minor quibbles. I recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our first time at Cove Hollow. The Firecracker Shrimp, Steak and local swordfish were all tasty and well prepared. Craft cocktails were seasonal and got us into the holiday spirits. we will be back.

Delightful lunch on a cool October afternoon. Lovely ambience and scenery from patio seating. Service was extraordinary. Food was delicious. World class lobster roll and rose to pair. Can’t wait to return
