The Patio at 54 Main 54 Main Street Westhampton Beach, NY (631) 288-0100

The Patio at 54 Main - a new concept at a familiar dining establishment in Westhampton, New York – opened in June 2007, at the former site of The Patio. This new American bistro, owned by Dwayne Kirchner, has been completely revamped and now presents a sleek modern design. Arthur "Chip" Cheek, who has more than 25 years experience in the restaurant business, has been brought on board as the general manager. Newly appointed executive chef Katherine E. Kane is at the helm in the kitchen.

Appetizers range from $9 to $13 and include: pan seared sea scallops with local roasted corn, fresh cilantro and red pepper coulis; Maryland crab cakes with peppers, and fresh caper remoulade sauce; and Patio Portobello with spinach and pancetta topped with shaved ricotta salata. Entrées range from $17 to $35 and include: grilled sushi grade tuna with sautéed bok choy and soy ginger sauce; porterhouse lamb chops with a mojito reduction; and 14-ounce prime dry aged New York strip steak. Desserts range from $7 to $10 and include: Westhampton Beach key lime pie; "chip-wich sliders" - a trio of vanilla ice cream sandwiches with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, chocolate sauce and whip cream; and The Patio banana split.
