“Food is great, quick & friendly service”

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday. It was a beautiful, cool shady spot on a quaint island porch. The lunch was all home-made and fresh even down to the English muffins. The dessert case had a plethora of delicious freshly baked treats. We sampled a bunch and one was better than the next! Definitely a must visit!”

“I went there on yesterday for the first time and it was a very nice little restaurant The food was excellent and the staff was very pleasant First time going but it won't be my last”

“The best coffee ☕️ 🍮☕️☕️Good”

“Excellent food and wonderful service! The staff goes above and beyond and is extremely attentive to their patrons. The food was delicious. We cannot wait to go back!!”

“We arrived shortly before 3 and they were nice enough to let us in even though the kitchen was about to close. The absolute BEST burger I have ever had. I got the western burger and it was incredible. Service was friendly and fun. We loved everything about this quaint, local “un-Hamptony” spot. Brought me back to the good ole days of East End life. Too bad places like these are disappearing out east.”

“Ate lunch here the day after christmas while just checking out the Hamptons. It was somewhat busy but there was an open table and food came out super fast. Was really tasty - chef salad, Greek salad, chicken Caesar wrap, grilled cheese all really good. Wanted to try the homemade ice cream but was freezing outside. Will hopefully be back one day ! Cash only”

“Great find! On a chilly winter night Nookies provided the perfect last minute (a rare occurrence, I believe) dinner for two with cool easy vibes and really yummy warming food.

Fun retro decor and neat off the beaten path spot in Southold area.

We also got a nice quick little tour of the motel and would love to stay here on our next visit out!

Will definitely be back!”

“Service was excellent. Food was delicious”

“We were so excited to celebrate our event last night at what we understood to be the newest 5 star restaurant in Southold. We were left extremely disappointed! Service (sat evening) was awful! The food was terrible. Our waitress eventually made her way to our table to ask for a drink order. We responded that we hadn’t selected a wine yet and she promptly turned on her heels and never returned. The GM recognized that we had been waiting for some time and took our wine order, app order and entree order…by memory. The waitress sometime later returned with our wine. It was the wrong bottle. After back and forth banter we asked to see the menu to indicate it was in fact the wrong bottle of wine. The waitress goes and promptly retrieves what you would hope be the correct wine-no. She returned with yet again the wrong wine. At this point we thru caution to the wind and said, “pour it”! After waiting approximately 30 + min for our appetizers, they arrived. Bread for the table was served when our appetizers arrived and not a moment sooner. The grilled octopus was hot served on cold fingerling potatoes. Odd combination. Kale and goat cheese salad, ok. Raw tuna, delicious. Onto entrees. We waited, at a minimum of an hour to an hour and a half for our entrees. Unacceptable! The chicken was not fully cooked-pink inside. Unacceptable! The Steak au poivre, which is supposed to be made with cracked green peppercorns in brine; was nothing more that steak served with an ABUNDANCE of ground black pepper and little to no sauce. Unacceptable! The Orecchiette with truffle was good. The GM compensated by offering us dessert on the house. This experience at Southold Social was so disappointing that we spent the first 10 min of our ride home just saying, “oh my god that was awful and we we will never return”.”

“I wish I could grade this restaurant higher than 5/5.

The ambience was so warm and welcoming. The music was incredible and the decor absolutely beautiful. This is truly an incredible find.

Highly recommend:

The chicken parm - best we ever had!!
Penne vodka - best sauce!!
Pastrami egg rolls
Chicken dumplings
Gagootz
Korean Wings
Lobster bisque
Meatballs - best meatballs we’ve ever had!!
Chipwich

Will definitely be back!!

Hospitality - incredible the best service and genuine family experience you can ask for!!”

“Finally stopped in after meaning to for over a year and we are so glad we did!! Cute inside space with light atmosphere. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer choices. We tried two flights and liked 7 of the 8 we tried. Will definitely be back to try more. They also have an outdoor seating area but it was too cold the day we went.”

“Food and service was wonderful!”

“Tiny hole in the wall you must try!! Instant Favorite in Sag Harbor. My go to is the Spicy Sesame. The owner and staff are so friendly. The food is out of this world with fresh flavors”

“Perfect experience. My wife and I loved our selections. The owner, Tom, stopped by to say hi, which was a really nice touch and what a great guy. Cheers.”

“So fun. Such a great vibe.”

“Great French/Asian fusion find in the Hamptons. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance was great, and the service was quick.”

“Lively bar lounge scene in Sterling Square. Property of American Beech Hotel and Restaurant. Many revelers and celebrations going on until 11pm Fridays & Saturdays.”

“Best meal in Greenport! Chef Umberto was very attentive and sent out some great starters. The Schnitzel was amazing and my family enjoyed their meal. Brendan the manager was also checking in. Highly recommend !”

“Wonderful first time dining here!”

“A Hidden Gem on Long Island: One Woman Winery

Long Island’s North Fork has long been known for its wineries, but One Woman Winery stands out as a true treasure, capturing the heart of wine enthusiasts with its exceptional vintages, authentic charm, and unparalleled hospitality.

Unlike many large-scale operations, One Woman Winery embodies the essence of a family-run business. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with warmth that feels like you’re stepping into a cherished family tradition. The cozy tasting room is often staffed by the founder’s daughter, whose knowledge, passion, and friendly demeanor elevate the experience. She takes the time to guide each guest through the story of the winery, the unique terroir, and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every bottle.

Speaking of the wine—wow. Long Island’s wine scene is increasingly crowded, but One Woman Winery’s offerings are a cut above the rest. Their focus on small-batch production means every sip is a revelation. From their crisp, mineral-driven whites to the complex, elegant reds, every wine tells a story of dedication and authenticity. If you’re lucky, you might even try one of their limited releases, which perfectly showcase the winery’s ability to make art in a bottle.

What truly sets One Woman apart, however, is its customer service—a rare gem on the East End these days. Many wineries in the region seem to have let their standards slip, prioritizing quantity over quality when it comes to guest experience. Not here. At One Woman, guests are treated with care, attention, and genuine hospitality. Whether it’s a detailed wine recommendation or a simple, welcoming smile, the team consistently goes above and beyond to make every visit unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a winery that delivers more than just great wine—a place where you feel valued, inspired, and a part of something special—One Woman Winery is an absolute must-visit. It’s a beacon of quality and tradition in the heart of Long Island wine country, and its dedication to excellence will keep you coming back for more. Cheers to the family and staff who has made this place so extraordinary!”
