Zagat's 2011/2012
Zagat's 2011/2012 Guide to the Best Hamptons Restaurants Is Here

The "cozy", "pricey" Continental "right on the docks" in Montauk "rocks the East End" with itts "extensive menu" of "impeccably prepared", "tremendous seafood"; while chef Dave's "gracious" wife Julie is the "best hostess anywhere", the "strange" "same-day reservation policy" is a "pain" for many who insist "the odds" of getting a seat "are about the same as winning the lottery"; P.S. closed in the off-season.

"Montauk is a hamlet that really slows down and clears out at summer's end. Funny, though, Dave's Grill on West Lake Drive still packs them in."
