Beautiful historic building - small dining room on the main floor and Tavern downstairs. Unfortunately the service is extremely disorganized so reservations are just a fantasy mainly because they overbook. If you stay at the inn, you\'ll probably have better luck - otherwise, not worth the wait. Check out the pretty interior then go to eat either at The Palm (across the street) or the Maidstone Restaurant down the block a bit.

Located within c/o The Maidstone Hotel, The Living Room Restaurant features fresh, naturally produced local foods to complement the celebrated cuisine. The seasonal menu features New American cuisine with a Scandinavian twist. 207 Main Street\r\nEast Hampton, NY 11937 (P) 631.324.5440 (F) 631.324.5037

Greeted by an intimately lit bar, your eyes wander to a lovely dining room featuring an exposed brick wall, wrought iron chandeliers and neatly appointed tables. Begin your evening with a drink on the secluded patio where a flowing fountain and lush shrubbery are the perfect tonic. The menu offers such treats as Lobster Pasta, Striped Bass, and Filet Mignon, not to mention a superb burger and a wine list for all purses. Fresno is no doubt the new hit in East Hampton and the third restaurant success for the owners of Red Bar Brasserie in Southampton and The Beacon in Sag Harbor. Open seven days for dinner only.
