I was welcomed by a stellar drink from their cocktail menu - the Lucia Margarita with Jalapeno tequila, vanilla essence, lime and grapefruit juice. Yes, it was strong but wasn't that the point? They also have 5 rotating beers on tap and 7 rotating bottles or cans (cans are making a comeback you know) including our new favorite the Montauk Brewing Company.
Dinner could have gone the way of pub grub but the sheer atmosphere encouraged us to stray from the typical. JB chose a kale, quinoa, sunflower seeds and pomegranate salad to start that I insisted he share. My baby romaine caesar was well executed plus had the bonus of bacon.
A burrata and haricot verts salad are on the list for the next visit.
I adored my sea scallops entree with corn and bacon jam (noting a bacon theme?). The dish was light, well-seasoned and perfectly composed. JB, however, was disappointed in his lobster spaghetti, though the lobster was plentiful, it was still raw. My guess is that that the chef feared he would overcook the lobster, but frankly, undercooking lobster is worse.
I will admit that the Strip Steak and fries looked pretty amazing. And as luck would have it, this week Thrillist published a list of the top 5 burgers in the Hamptons and the Cuddy's version is holding court amongst all of the other serious players like 1770 House, Rowdy Hall and its across the street neighbor, LT Burger. All the more reason for a return visit.

P.S. Don't forget dessert! I could have had three orders of the mini chocolate pot - delish.
