The restaurant is rooted in farm-to-table Mediterranean cuisine, the philosophy being to source everything possible locally, and the menu is inspired by simply prepared seasonal produce...

Growing up in East Hampton, I’ve had the privilege to dine at some of the most delectable restaurants. I recently purchased a home in Hampton Bays and am new to the dining scene. I pass the Canoe Place Inn every day on my way to work, and it was interesting to see their renovation process. Once they finally...

Dinner is so much more than a meal, it's a connection. As we all learned during the pandemic, eating and entertaining together is a privilege and goes well beyond the food. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to attend a Chef’s Dinner Event at Sen Restaurant. The evening was a welcome reminder of how much there...

It’s been a long time since Union Burger took over the coveted space in Southampton Village and it’s no wonder why they have remained a signature destination in Southampton.
