The off-season might not strike someone as the best time to eat out in Southampton, however, you’d be pleasantly surprised by the slew of delicious options. Saaz Indian Cuisine is always mentioned whenever the conversation of best Indian restaurant on Long Island arises. Excellent dishes include the shrimp biryani, chicken tikka and yellow dal. Try the lunch buffet, offered daily. Saaz delivers and offers a vegetarian menu as well.

Tate’s Bake Shop will keep you warm and content as we brave these last few weeks of Baltic weather. The signature thin, crispy chocolate chip cookie is well-known, but the other flavors deserve some shine. Check out the walnut chocolate chip and double chocolate chip variety. Tate’s now offers plant-based cookies, available in chocolate chip and vanilla maple.

For water views, Manna at Lobster Inn is the haunt for you. Manna recently started serving a toothsome brunch menu on the weekends, featuring eggs Benedict, avocado toast and French toast. Also, every purchase of lobster bisque ramen includes a complimentary order of spicy crunchy tuna rice or edamame.

75 Main is a Southampton mainstay. On warmer days, one can sit outdoors and enjoy entrees such as balsamic, honey and mustard roasted Scottish salmon, crispy whole fish over steamed Jasmine rice and orecchiette.

Shippy’s Pumpernickels gets its name from original owner William “Shippy” Casgrain. Shippy served in the Merchant Marines and his agreeable nature was renowned. Famous friends like Jackie Gleason and Jack Dempsey would pay visits and watch him tend bar. This benign spirit is still alive today at Shippy’s.
