"Best sunset in the hamptons"
We opened The Beacon up, way back in 2000. It's been a great success since Day 1, only growing better with the start of each new summer. We've learned a lot along the way about what it takes to make a summertime-only Hamptons restaurant move and groove. As the light on the East End changes and a new season approaches, we are reinvigorated by the beauty our region provides us. The menu, the wine, and some of the faces may change every year, but one thing never does: our full attention to you.
Loftily perched above the Sag Harbor Cove Yacht Club, The Beacon has a truly stunning view spanning across Sag Harbor Bay, continuing all the way to neighboring Shelter Island. A breeze of warm air guides diners up our front stairway, past planted bamboo and bistro chairs, though our smaller, more intimate dining room, across our expansive upstairs porch, finding the end of its journey back out to sea.
Our food at The Beacon takes on a new twist every year. Menu inspirations aptly span American, Mediterranean, and Asian flavors. While plates may swap out seasonally, there are certainly a few favorites. To start: steamed mussels 'Beacon-style' with garlic, white wine, lemon, thyme, cream, and tomato or braised pork belly with grilled pineapple. For dinner: the halibut baked in parchment with sun-dried tomatoes, tatsoi, and toasted Israeli cous cous is a big crowd pleaser. Finish it all off by indulging in our signature homemade ice cream sandwiches or the lighter key lime tart with macadamia nut crust. Just go for it: this is vacation after all.
