Best Romantic Restaurants in Water Mill

From the lighting and decor to comfortable seating and incredible food and service 10 out of 10. The table bread alone was incredible! We had the two drinks recommended by the server; Jordan’s crush and roasted pineapple margarita which led us to getting a second round, they were so good! The garlic bread with blue cheese fondue and ceasar salad split for two was the perfect amount for us as starters. My husband got the wagyu 10oz sirloin and I got the 7oz filet, we paired it with the mac and cheese and the asparagus. We absolutely loved everything. We will be back and we are so excited to dine here again! The server was so pleasant, engaging and enthusiastic about the menu.

Calissa in the Hamptons is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and full of energy. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food? Outstanding! I had the ossobuco special, and it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection—rich, flavorful, and cooked to absolute tenderness. She had the salmon, which was beautifully prepared, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. And let me tell you, the lemon potatoes were to die for—perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and buttery inside, with just the right amount of citrusy zest. The cocktails were well-crafted, the wine list was impressive, and the whole experience felt like a true Mediterranean escape. Whether you're looking for an intimate dinner or a lively night out, Calissa delivers on all fronts.

Bistro Ete never disappoints. Hosts Chef Arie and Liz set the tone for their friendly and attentive staff. Started off with a Cucumber Cosmo and a delicious 2014 Margaux from Bordeaux. Shared 3 appetizers, Brussel sprouts w/grilled halloumi, Truffle grilled cheese and escargot Everything was delicious and the plates were wiped clean. Entrees were Sea Bass with Truffle sauce and roasted pork loin. Finished off the meal with Chef Arie’s homemade ice cream. Bistro Ete has a loyal following both on and off season so reservations are a must. Our go to restaurant whenever out East!

What a wonderful evening and way to spend with someone special. The food was delicious, the drinks were a marvel and even the other guests were a pleasure to be in the company of. That said the staff had a cohesive, calm elevated demeanor that set the stage a memorable night. I’ll be bringing my family back for a breakfast so they can experience its charm as well.

Thoroughly enjoyable and food was top notch as always - we will be going back again
