Bay Kitchen and Bar
399 Gann Road

The vistas from this Three Mile Harbor marina seafood boite are unobstructed and offer breathtaking sunsets. But that’s not the only appealing aspect of Chef Eric Miller’s sea-to-table restaurant. When you’ve had enough surf, the turf is just as enticing thanks to Miller’s hickory roaster for local ducks and chickens.

Bay Kitchen and Bar

Harlow
Long Wharf, Bay Street, Sag Harbor

Harlow, the restaurant that opened in 2013 in midtown Manhattan, debuted a bayside branch this summe in the charming hamlet of Sag Harbor. The large space will have a nautical feel with funky art and will use the bounty of the Hamptons and the North Fork—from local farmers, fisherman and vineyards—in its cuisine. With a prime location on the water in Sag Harbor, serving seafood is a natural fit. The menu will include branzino with wasabi gremolata and hearts of palm, salmon with chipotle corn, grilled shrimp tartines and extensive seafood offerings from Island Creek and Gosman’s.
