East End’s Best Kept Dining Secret

One of the best-kept dining secrets on the East End of Long Island has to be Harbor Grill on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton. The brainchild of Pat Glennon and Chef Damien ODonnell (both are also co-owners of the wildly successful Harbor Bistro, up the road a few miles), Harbor Grill offers simple, well-prepared food at truly affordable prices. It’s a Godsend for year-rounders but also a welcome wallet break for the wealthy. And when you consider that O’Donnell was once the executive chef at Roy Yamaguchi’s in Baltimore, MD.

Ever go to a restaurant, order a dish, and then HAVE TO ORDER IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD? Enter the fried calamari with banana peppers and chopped tomatoes at Harbor Grill: it was gone inside 4 minutes.

And I ask the jury, where else can you score a big plate (could feed two) of chicken Parmesan with linguine? And did I tell you that they throw in a small salad or soup with that dish for $17.95?

The point is, not only can one grab exceptional food at Harbor Grill, but the portions are great and it won’t hurt your pocketbook. Go. Hint – you don’t have to dress like a local.
