“We could not be more excited to be bringing Eleven Madison Park to the Hamptons. In addition to giving us an opportunity to show our guests a more casual version of EMP, it’s also really fun for us to do as New Yorkers do, and head east for the summer,” shared restaurateur Will Guidara. “And getting to do this alongside our partners at American Express has been incredible- we have been coupling our creativity with theirs and coming up with some really fun ideas- it’s going to be a good one!”
“The menu for EMP Summer House will be more casual than what we serve at our Manhattan home, but still delicious,” added Chef Daniel Humm. “And guests can join us for a quick drink, a burger or lobster roll, or multiple courses and some great wines – there’s beautiful flexibility to the type of experience people can have here,”
Chef Humm curated the seafood-heavy menu in partnership with Guidara. It will encompass raw seafood preparations, flatbreads, pastas, steaks, and large format experiences such as fried chicken dinners and lobster boils.
Plan on dining at what is bound to be the hottest Hamptons restaurant this summer? Well you better have an American Express Card because it’s the only form of credit card payment accepted, and you need an American Express Card to make a reservation.
Additionally, Platinum Card Members will be privy to several exclusive summers events at EMP Summer House through the By Invitation Only program, and all American Express Card Members should keep an eye out for highly-anticipated Hampton Classic with pre-sale tickets, exclusive passes and other curated experiences.
