What a surprise to find this gem at the end of the island. Service was great, chef is innovative and delicious.
For the longest time, The Seafood Barge in Southold was my favorite Long Island restaurant & when it closed in 2009, it was a sad occasion. Chef Noah Schwartz has a new restaurant in Greenport. Totally different, but just as great. Love the fact that you can order a bunch of small plates to share. Have done it twice now and both times was delighted with all of our orders. Next goal is to have a full blown dinner.
There are a few "large plates' (full entrees), but the menu is dominated by "small plates" (tapas style portions). Nearly everything we had (oysters, mussels, steamers, crab tacos, deviled eggs, clam chowder, ribs, duck confit, duck liver, chocolate cake) was delicious. Service good, attentive, knowledgeable. Room is attractively simple, but with hard surfaces which make for a noisy place when busy. The newer, East side tends to be quieter.
Could be the best restaurant on the east-end of Long Island- certainly one of the best on all LI. Small plates at reasonable prices so everyone can share in most of the menu. Everything we tasted was delicious. The ingredients from local farms ensures freshness. The chef is very inventive, the service is friendly yet professional. Concise well balanced wine list with good variety. Our only regret is that its not closer in to the city!
Still the "in" spot in Greenport. Over rated but there are some good choices. Never go on a Friday night or you will go deaf! Sit outside and have a nice view of the Greenport Post Office. Food is always interesting and well presented by eager and smiling staff. We go often.
