We whole-heartedly recommend the Montauk Lobster Roll - the spiced mayo really gives this Lobster Roll a special kick! And DON’T skip dessert.

A trendy Parisian café that’s a perfect hangout for after dinner drinks or Sunday brunch. We recommend the Grilled New York Strip Steak with duck fat chips.
Grab a seat in the Lounge and have the Pre Fixe with the Marinated Skirt Steak. Or order the Smoke Short Rib or the Bistro Steak.
