The Hampton Classic Horse Show returns to Bridgehampton from August 23–30, 2026, and the East End transforms into one of the most stylish weeks of the summer season. World-class show jumping fills the mornings, the boutique lawn turns into an all-day social scene, and Grand Prix Sunday draws the kind of crowd that books dinner reservations weeks in advance.
If you are staying in one of The Maruca Group’s Hamptons villas — whether it is a Sag Harbor waterfront compound, an East Hampton estate near the village, or a Bridgehampton home minutes from the show grounds — the right restaurant reservation is what turns a good day into a perfect evening. Below are ten verified dining rooms our concierge team recommends for Hampton Classic week, each confirmed for address, hours, phone, website, and how to book.
1. Nick & Toni’s — East Hampton
Address: 136 North Main Street at Cedar Street, East Hampton, NY 11937
Phone: 631-324-3550
Website: nickandtonis.com
Hours: Open daily starting at 5:30 PM (closed Tuesdays seasonally — call to confirm)
Reservations: Online via the restaurant’s website or by phone
This is the Hamptons institution. The room feels like a polished country trattoria, the bar stays lively well past ten, and the menu moves with the season. Signature dishes from the current dinner menu include the Penne alla Vecchia Bettola with spicy oven-roasted tomato, the House-made Malfaldine with lobster and chanterelles, and the Wood Grilled Prime Ribeye with roasted Balsam Farms broccoli. Nick & Toni’s fills first for Hampton Classic week — book now if you want a prime-time table.
2. The 1770 House — East Hampton
Address: 143 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937
Phone: 631-324-1770
Website: 1770house.com
Hours: Sunday–Thursday 5:30 PM–9:00 PM; Friday–Saturday 5:30 PM–9:30 PM
Reservations: OpenTable or direct phone
A 250-year-old inn with candlelit dining rooms and a wine program that spans East End vineyards to Burgundy. Chef Michael Rozzi’s kitchen is refined American with serious technique — think Dover sole, herb-crusted lamb, and produce pulled from Long Island farms. The colonial tavern downstairs is the more relaxed option if you want the same kitchen without the white-tablecloth pace.
3. Si Si — East Hampton
Address: 295 Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Road, East Hampton, NY 11937 (EHP Resort & Marina)
Phone: 631-810-9023
Website: ehpresort.com/sisi
Hours: Seasonal; reservations drop at 12:01 AM every other Friday via Resy — book early for peak week
Reservations: Resy (sisi.reservations@ehphospitality.com for inquiries)
Named Best Mediterranean in the Hamptons for 2026, Si Si sits right on the water at EHP Resort. The menu pulls from Italy, Greece, Spain, and Morocco — expect bucatini verde, spicy rigatoni, tuna tartare, and a lobster Cobb salad that works as a light lunch or a sunset dinner. The waterfront deck is the table everyone wants during Classic week; if Resy is full, join the waitlist or arrive early for bar seating.
4. Le Bilboquet — Sag Harbor
Address: 1 Long Wharf, Sag Harbor, NY 11963
Phone: 631-808-3767
Website: lebilboquetsag.com
Hours: Monday–Sunday, lunch 12:00 PM–3:30 PM; dinner 5:30 PM–9:30 PM (Thu–Sat until 10:00 PM)
Reservations: Online via the restaurant’s website, by phone, or sag@lebilboquetny.com
A French bistro on Sag Harbor’s waterfront with a strong “see and be seen” energy. The Cajun chicken and tuna tartare are house signatures, and the endive salad and New York strip round out a menu that does not try to reinvent bistro classics — it just executes them well. The harbor views at sunset make this a natural stop after a day at the Classic grounds, especially if you are staying in a Sag Harbor villa.
5. The American Hotel — Sag Harbor
Address: 49 Main Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963
Phone: 631-725-3535 or 631-725-3555
Website: theamericanhotel.com
Hours: Lunch daily 11:00 AM–4:00 PM; dinner daily 4:00 PM–10:00 PM; happy hour 4:00 PM–6:00 PM; breakfast Sat–Sun 9:00 AM–10:45 AM
Reservations: Call directly. Groups over eight require a set menu arranged in advance.
This is the Hamptons’ most distinguished dining room. White-tablecloth service, a serious wine cellar, and old-world formality that feels increasingly rare. Regulars order the oysters Rockefeller, the pecan-crusted Montauk swordfish, or the Dover sole — and the $1 oyster special on Tuesdays is one of the best deals on the East End. If you want one formal dinner during Classic week, this is it.
6. Lulu Kitchen & Bar — Sag Harbor
Address: 126 Main Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963
Phone: 631-725-0900
Website: lulusagharbor.com
Hours: Open daily. Lunch 12:00 PM–3:30 PM; dinner 5:30 PM–9:00 PM (Fri–Sat until 10:00 PM). Happy Hour 5:00 PM–6:30 PM daily.
Reservations: Resy or phone. OpenTable does not list this restaurant.
Wood-fired, Mediterranean-leaning, and built for groups. The raw bar opens with Promised Land oysters and jumbo shrimp, and the wood-fired grill turns out whole branzino, grilled lamb chops, and a surprisingly good cheeseburger. Wednesday brings 25% off all wine bottles, which is worth planning around if you are dining with a group from your villa.
7. Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House — Bridgehampton
Address: 1 Bridgehampton–Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton, NY 11932
Phone: 631-808-2000
Website: toppingrosehouse.com
Hours: Breakfast daily 8:00 AM–10:30 AM; lunch Mon–Fri 12:00 PM–3:00 PM; brunch Sat–Sun 11:30 AM–3:00 PM; dinner daily 5:30 PM–9:00 PM
Reservations: Online via the Topping Rose House website
Farm-to-table from one of the most recognized names in American dining. The kitchen sources directly from Long Island fishermen and farms, and the menu changes with what is coming in that morning. Current standouts include crispy salmon sushi, tuna tartare, Colorado lamb chops, and a Parmesan-crusted organic chicken that is lighter than it sounds. Because it sits directly on the turnpike between Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor, this is the easiest dinner reservation if your villa is near the show grounds.
8. Almond — Bridgehampton
Address: 1 Ocean Road, Bridgehampton, NY 11932
Phone: 631-537-5665
Website: almondrestaurant.com · current menu
Hours: Sunday–Thursday 5:00 PM–9:30 PM; Friday–Saturday 5:00 PM–10:30 PM
Reservations: OpenTable (parties over eight must call directly)
A French-influenced American bistro with a year-round local following. The menu is straightforward and well-priced for the Hamptons: steak frites, hanger steak, striped bass, lobster spaghetti, and a duck confit salad that regulars order without opening the menu. The bar is comfortable if you walk in without a reservation, but weekend tables during Classic week will be tight — book ahead.
9. Moby’s — East Hampton
Address: 341 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, NY 11937
Phone: 631-604-2227
Website: mobysny.com
Hours: Seasonal, late May through November. Wednesday–Sunday from 5:00 PM; lunch on weekends.
Reservations: Online via the restaurant’s website, or phone for groups of nine or more
High-energy Italian in a restored 1880s home, with a big outdoor scene and a menu built for sharing. The Cacio e Pepe, Rigatoni Bolognese, Whipped Ricotta, and wood-fired Margherita pizza are the dishes that come out of the kitchen fastest — and most often. Moby’s is the place to bring the group from your villa after a long day at the horse show, especially if you want a loud, social room rather than a quiet tasting menu.
10. Tutto il Giorno — Sag Harbor
Address: 16 Main Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963
Phone: 631-919-5353
Website: tuttoilgiorno.com
Hours: Lunch Fri–Sun 12:00 PM–3:00 PM; dinner nightly from 5:00 PM (Fri–Sat until 11:00 PM)
Reservations: Resy or call directly — expect a wait-list during peak season
Southern Italian cooking in a stylish, narrow dining room on Main Street. The linguine with clams and flamed tomatoes, the spaghetti scarpariello with corbara cherry tomatoes, and the penne alla norma-style with eggplant and mozzarella are the pastas to order. Book ahead on Resy for Classic week, or plan for a drink at the bar next door while you wait for a walk-in table.
