1. Pancho's Cantina
$$$ | |This place has been selling tacos on Long Island for more than two decades, so when Hurricane Sandy destroyed the restaurant in October 2012 a hole was left in the Long Beach/Island Park community. Now this family-friendly restaurant, known for consistently outgoing service, good Tex-Mex food, margaritas, and pitchers of delicious sangria, is back and as good as ever. Brown paper covers the tables, and if your artwork is good enough, it may end up on the wall. Garlic lovers should try the shrimp maragrita entree or the cattleman's steak drenched in homemade garlic BBQ sauce. Fajitas and fish tacos are perennial favorites.

2. Pridwin Bar & Restaurant
$$$ | |Fish doesn't come any fresher than at this waterfront resturant, where it was most likely caught that very morning off the Pridwin's boat by owner Richard Petry and his son Gregg. In 2014 Peruvian-born chef de cuisine Varon Barrio joined chef Marcel Iatoni to create a fresh new menu, adding specialties such as casusa, a layered potato, avocado, and shrimp dish, and the citrusy ceviche. It's not often that you see octopus as a main course—here it's served over mushroom-Manchego quinoa. "Kids Movies," most nights from 7–9, allow parents to enjoy a romantic dinner while their children enjoy supervised fun. Wednesday's cookout night, a family party and Shelter Island institution, includes live music, and Sunday brunch is served with a samba and soul soundtrack. Reservations are suggested for both.

3. 1770 House
$$$ | |There are two restaurants in one here, so you can enjoy the warmth and refined elegance of the dining room or the sanctuary of the more casual (and less expensive) traditional tavern downstairs. With Chef Michael Rozzi at the helm, 1770 House is known for using local ingredients whenever possible, with dishes including local beet salad with blue cheese and shallot dressing and seared Peconic Bay scallops with red coconut milk–curry sauce. The Tavern Meatloaf with potato puree, spinach, and garlic sauce, is famous thanks to being featured on the "Barefoot Contessa" TV show.
143 Main St., East Hampton, New York, 11937, USA631-324–1770Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch, Reservations essential -
4. 668 The Gig Shack
$$$ | |This little bit funky, little bit chic but totally Montauk café serves up fare that fuses local ingredients with international flair. With dishes like mussels with Thai curry, biriyani, fish "Montacos," and house-smoked Hawaiian babyback ribs, this place provides a little culinary adventure right on Main Street Montauk. Tasty home-baked desserts include key lime pie. There is live music most nights.
782 Main St., Montauk, New York, 11954, USA631-668-2727Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed mid-Oct.–Mar. and weekdays Labor Day–mid-Oct. and Mar.–Memorial Day -
5. 75 Main
$$$ | |Celebrity mom Dina Lohan (mother of Lindsay) was spotted celebrating Memorial Day here; so was actor and funny guy Jonah Hill, and on any given day you can see supermodels, sports stars, and an assortment of other A-listers hanging out here. With internationally acclaimed chef Walter Hinds at the helm, the menu offers well-prepared classic dishes like Caesar salad, penne primavera, and grilled salmon. The evening specials bring more of an international flair, perhaps moules frites in red curry and Tuscan pot roast. There's a weekend brunch as well as a menu for kids. The bar gets busy after 11 on Friday and Saturday nights thanks to a DJ and a crowd that likes to dance. Reservations are recommended.

6. Almond
$$$ | |This popular spot, with white subway tiles contrasting dark-wood floors and furnishings, is known for its brasserie-style food that elevates the simple to the sublime. Offerings include mac and cheese with prosciutto and truffles, grass-fed steak frites with anchovy butter. The menu also includes chicken, lamb, and veal dishes, casual fare like sandwiches and burgers, and a raw bar. Vegetarians unite on Meatless Monday. French names dominate the wine list. Surprisingly fair entree prices and friendly service add to Almond's appeal.

7. Beacon
$$$ | |On the second floor of a yacht club, this summertime favorite offers exceptional food with a terrific view. The emphasis is on local fish, chicken, or pasta, prepared with savory sauces that show an international flair, including curry, Thai-peanut, and mustard-cream. Innovative appetizers include pork belly buns with kimchi. Separate menus are devoted to martinis, mojitos, and margaritas. Save room for a homemade ice cream sandwich. The wait for an outside table can be quite long, so grab a few (pricey) drinks at the bar and relax. The staff, like the restaurant, is seasonal, so the service can be inconsistent.
8 W. Water St., Sag Harbor, New York, 11936, USA631-725–7088Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues., Credit cards accepted -
8. Bobby Van's
$$$ | |The French doors and large ceiling fans give this restaurant a distinctly Casablanca feel. Originally a popular gathering place for local artists and writers, today it is known as much for people-watching near its open doors as for its food. Try the great steaks for which it is famous or the fresh local seafood dishes and daily specials. The bar scene is lively. Reservations are essential on Friday and Saturday.

9. Claudio's Clam Bar/Claudio's Restaurant/Crabby Jerry's
$$$ | |There may be better, trendier, friendlier restaurants in town, but in Greenport Claudio's is a fixture, and a something of a destination in itself. Three restaurants share this 2½-acre waterfront property. The Clam Bar, right on the dock, serves salads, hot dogs, fried clams, mussels, and soft-shell crab, and is known for live music and a lively bar crowd. Claudio's, for more upscale indoor dining, is known for seafood, porterhouse steaks, and lobsters; the bar dates from the late 1800s. Crabby Jerry's offers self-service with picnic tables on the Main Street Dock.
111 Main St., Greenport, New York, 11944, USA631-477–0627Restaurant Details

10. Dockers Waterside
$$$ | |People stop in at this upscale, yet casual and lively, waterfront restaurant on their way home from the beach just across the road or after kayaking or paddleboarding right off their dock. Appetizers include sushi and sashimi appetizer, duck egg roll, lobster mac-and-cheese; aged steak, clambake platter, or lobster are always popular entrees. The large deck overlooking the bay has good sunset views. At night the bar scene attracts a mixed crowd, with three bars, outdoor living-room areas with lots of comfortable seating, and live music several nights a week throughout the summer.

11. Dockside Bar & Grill
$$$ | |On the first warm day of the season, locals flock to the umbrella-shaded patio tables of this casual spot next to the American Legion Hall.

Inside are two simple dining rooms and a small bar.

12. Fat Fish Wine Bar and Bistro
$$$ | |Steamers, mussels, and fresh fish are the mainstays at this casual, nautical-theme restaurant overlooking the bay, and the big waterside deck, shaded by a tent canopy, is a great spot on a sunny day. Steaks, chops, and chicken are also on the menu, joined by salads and panini at lunchtime. The wine list features local and international selections, with 25 available by the glass. Great for family dining, there is always a lively bar and live music scene as well.

13. Grasso
$$$ | |Entrées are inspired by Tuscan, Sardinian, and Sicilian cooking, and the wine list is similarly inclusive. Try the branzini (Mediterranean sea bass), which is roasted whole and then filleted at your table. You can dine on the porch overlooking the village, or sit at a candlelit table inside, where you'll be surrounded by photographs of Europe and serenaded by live jazz bands on Tuesday through Sunday nights.
134 Main St., Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 11724, USA631-367–6060Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
14. Il Mulino
$$$ | |Paintings by local artists hang on the walls, and the tables are spread with linen cloths at this Tuscan-style restaurant a mile northeast of Roslyn. Try the Dover sole with Mornay sauce, rabbit roasted with rosemary and potatoes, or the quail with polenta. Sunday Supper, a four-course prix-fixe dinner at $39, draws a loyal, hungry crowd.
86 W. 3rd St., Roslyn Estates, New York, 10012, USA212-673–3783Restaurant Details

15. Island Mermaid
$$$ | Ocean Beach |There is much debate over where you can get the best Rocket Fuel (a Fire Island specialty–piña colada with amaretto and a 151 rum floater), but many say it's here. You can also get fresh seafood, steaks, and some really good meatballs while dining bayside (the clam bake is tasty and a good value, but nothing to write home about). Serving the community for about a quarter-century, this place is an institution. There's a fun bar crowd at night.
780 Bay Walk, Fire Island, New York, 11770, USA631-583–8088Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Oct.–Apr. -
16. Jewel by Tom Schaudel
$$$ | |Upscale yet reasonably priced, Jewel, by Long Island's renowned chef-restaurateur Tom Schaudel, is sophisticated with a touch of whimsy, with its multitude of glass-ball chandeliers. The service is attentive and professional. The beet salad impresses and is a perfect starter to the millionaire's pizza with black truffle, fontina cheese, and fried egg. The salmon with thick "forbidden" coconut rice with mango vinaigrette is a stunner.
400 Broadhollow Rd. (Rte. 110), Melville, New York, 11747, USA631-755–5777Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch weekends -
17. Jolly Fisherman and Steak House

Rate Includes: Closed Mon., Credit cards accepted -
18. La Parma
$$$ | |Ample portions draw crowds to this well-known southern Italian family-style restaurant 4 mi south of Roslyn. It's noisy, but you can go into the kitchen and watch the food being prepared. Winners here include the chicken scarpariella and the veal parmigiana.
707 Willis Ave., Williston Park, New York, 11596, USA516-294–6610Restaurant Details

19. Le Chef
$$$ | |A warm, welcoming, busy little bistro, Le Chef serves mainly French food. Standouts include baby rack of lamb and noisettes of veal; specials on their pink restaurant board change weekly. Attracting an upscale "early bird" crowd, prix-fixe menus are available Thursday through Sunday before 6:45 pm, and brunch is offered on Sunday. This nice place, albeit a bit dated, offers a nice alternative to the twentysomething Hamptons "scene."

Rate Includes: Closed Sun., Credit cards accepted -
20. Louie's Oyster Bar and Grill
