UnHamptons Waterfront Dining: Edgewater Restaurant, Hampton Bays, NY

Edgewater Restaurant is technically in the Hamptons - Hampton Bays for that matter, but it feels miles away from the pretension you may have heard of or even personally experienced.  This is simple Italian food with a waterview.  Not expensive, not fancy, just a really enjoyable way to spend a meal.

Coming off of a huge week of eating, I could not bring myself to try the Eggplant Rollatini, one of my perennial faves, or the delicious looking Gnocchi Bolognese.  I continued with the simple theme and enjoyed a Shrimp Oreganata over Tomato Risotto.  Although who am I kidding, I did indulge in the garlic knots in the bread basket so much so that we had to tell the waitress to please not bring anymore.

The shrimp was broiled to just the right temperature and well-seasoned.  The tomato risotto was thankfully on dry side.  Cheese and shrimp do not a good combination make.

It was a one-course only kind of meal but that didn't keep us from lingering in the summer air as the moon rose over the Shinnecock bay.  There was live music that night and we weren't quite sure if it was paid entertainment or karaoke or just the waiter taking a turn on the mic.  That's part of the charm of Edgewater.  Go try it for yourself.
