Harbor Bistro 313 Three Mile Harbor Road East Hampton, NY (631) 324-7300 www.harborbistro.net

Opened in 2006, Harbor Bistro is a joint venture for East Hampton natives Patrick and Ann Glennon, their daughter Nicole O’Donnell and her husband Executive Chef Damien O’Donnell. Perched on the waterfront, the restaurant is located on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton and offers a spectacular sunset view from the outdoor deck and marina and from the inside dining room and bar. Newsday declared the restaurant “one of the most idyllic spots to see the sun go down.” The restaurant, which received a “very good” rating from The New York Times in 2007, takes pride in utilizing local purveyors and will substitute nothing for quality. All meat, fish, produce, sauces, and desserts are prepared fresh in the kitchen.

As corporate trainer and executive chef and partner for Roy’s Restaurants, Chef O’Donnell worked directly under world-renowned celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi serving “Hawaiian fusion” cuisine. At Harbor Bistro, he focuses on new American dishes with a classic French backbone blended with hints of Asian and South American fare. Appetizers, ranging from $8 to $16, include toasted corn and jumbo lump crab cake; Mongolian BBQ baby back ribs; and island-ahi tuna poke with avocado and truffle-soy. Salads, ranging from $8 to $14, feature Harbor Bistro’s signature Fuji apple and bleu cheese salad. Entrées, ranging from $23 to $38, include pistachio crusted tilapia with crispy risotto cake; shichimi shrimp linguine; and shellfish Bouillabaisse. Desserts range from $6 to $9 and include molten chocolate tower; and warm peach and almond cake.

Harbor Bistro offers a “Before the Sunset” three-course prix fixe for $29 from 5 to 6 p.m. and complimentary bar appetizers every night from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
