(Long Island, NY) Hello darling, Welcome back to Cognac’s Corner. Last week my husband and I were summering and vacationing in the Hamptons and we were both craving a nice big rare juicy steak so we thought: Where could we enjoy a thick perfectly prepared steak?”.
Darlings, Craving steak, chops, lobster and seafood? Then head to Bobby Van’s Steakhouse in Bridgehampton. Recently there have been renovations added to this famous restaurant. Arching skylights and grass paper walls have all been added to give a sprucing up to make the restaurant more inviting to dine within and alfresco giving it a sophisticated café European touch. The bar is charmingly still rustic and the breezes from the cool Hamptons Ocean along Main Street are intoxicating.
The steaks are best in all of the Hamptons, beefy and well aged. All the signature dishes are perfectly prepared and well seasoned. I truly enjoyed the Grilled Salmon on a bed of Caesar Salad.
The rare-cooked sesame-crusted tuna with ponzu sauce and the moist crispy crab cakes are an excellent choice as well.
The restaurant was established in 1969 by Actor Bobby Van. Bobby loved to entertain and perform in the Hamptons area. His restaurant attracted poets, writers, movie stars and famous celebrities to its well-known doors. In order to accommodate more guests the restaurant was moved across the street. Bobby continued to entertain guests at the restaurant until 1992 upon retiring.
Today the restaurant is owned by four seasoned restaurateurs and entrepreneurs from Manhattan, Joseph Smith, Joe Hickey, Rich Passarelli and Joe Phair. They continue to bring excellence in premier dining in the Hamptons.
Bobby Vans is located at 2393 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, New York. For more information about this delightful restaurant see below:
