Bistro Ete

My friends and I came for dinner on a Saturday and really wanted to love this place based on the great reviews. There were definitely some positives. The atmosphere is charming, and the drinks were well made. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t meet expectations. The escargot was fresh but lacked seasoning. The short rib pappardelle was overwhelmed with butter, and the potato poppers tasted like overcooked home fries from a frozen bag. The biggest issue was the halibut, which was extremely overcooked. My friend sent it back, and the male owner approached us to insist it was perfectly cooked, despite not tasting it himself. That interaction felt dismissive and inappropriate, especially for a restaurant in the Hamptons. To add to the frustration, our main courses arrived nearly two

Wow! Went there last weekend for a pig roast with 10 friends. We had the best time! The suckling pig was incredible. Chef Ari had the coal fired spit going all afternoon. Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff is so friendly, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this place enough. The level of detail and execution that goes into every plate is beyond belief.

Absolutely incredible dishes, and so very sweet and patient with dogs. Our pup got to enjoy the doggy menu over the weekend, and the staff was so accommodating. Highly recommend

Bistro Ete is our absolute favorite restaurant. We love the super cozy, welcoming atmosphere that always manages to feel like a meal at home. The food is wonderful and there are enough changing seasonal specials to keep you on your toes, but also a great menu of fresh and comforting staples to go back to. The simple mixed greens is a life changing salad. Get. It. The staff, Liz and Ari - I cannot say enough nice things about the whole crew, but they are a large part of what keeps us coming back week after week. They are all just the best and their warmth and genuine hospitality make every visit special.

Absolutely amazing! Every dish I have ever ordered has been outstanding. From the duck wings to the fried olives to the halibut with champagne truffle sauce to name just a few. The service is impeccable as their staff is family. The drinks especially the margaritas are delightful. The relaxed family style and welcoming atmosphere are unique to the Hamptons. Cannot recommend it enough.
