Fodor's Expert Review Harlow East
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This former B. Smith site is such a great waterfront location that acclaimed restauranteur and former Nobu managing partner Richie Notar decided to open the East End outpost of his NYC restaurant here. It has a low-key, fun vibe and a bright, light nautical style, and takes advantage of the harbor location not only for breathtaking views but also to partner with local fishermen. The food combines the brightness of Mediterranean cuisine with an Asian flair. Montauk Lobster Sliders have buttery pan-seared bread and light Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise; grilled baby octopus over salad has a nice char, and jalapeño dressing gives the right amount of kick. Every bite here is an experience, but the experience may come with a bit of sticker shock.
