Genuine five star quality cuisine at its finest! Never a disappointment. In fact, always an amazingly tasty pleasure! Now that the season is back in full swing, we will be regular fixtures at the Plaza CAFÉ. I highly recommend the seafood pot pie adorned with those tasty potatoes toasted on top as well as the Shrimp Fettuccine with prosciutto and Halibut entrees! The oysters topped with caviar were also amazing. Premium top notch cuisine driven by expert preparation, not by the social media clout that trendy subpar restaurants rely on to drive up their reputation and numbers. Treat yourself, don’t cheat yourself. I cannot recommend Plaza CAFÉ enough!

All I can say is wow ! I have been here several times this summer and every single experience has been amazing !! I have been in the restaurant industry for over 24 years and it’s really hard to find restaurants that are consistent with food and service. Chef Doug is a master at seafood, me and my wife love to sit at the bar and their manager Samantha always takes care of us, she is so passionate, a true professional. Our last experience ,we got there early and the chef did a tasting menu for us and it was spectacular !! Cannot wait to go back!

This is hands down the most perfect experience I have ever had at any restaurant. Starting with the fact that their entire staff is wonderful. I messed up my reservation and their hostess accommodated my mom and I immediately. The wait staff was attentive, courteous and efficient. Their chef is seriously talented. Our dinner was perfectly executed. The flavors were incredible which almost made me cry of happiness. As I said, this was perfect, in every way. I hope to be able to come back many times more.

Delicious and fresh food. We came here to celebrate our engagement, nice for special occasions. The crab and tuna tartare appetizer was delicious. Fantastic service and you can tell the chef not only cares about the food but also in the service to make sure his customers are enjoying themselves.

The Plaza Café provided my family and I a most excellent experience when dining in the hamptons. The ambiance was very well thought out, considering the cozy and familial, yet sophisticated atmosphere. Accommodating us was the warm and considerate staff; who took the extra effort to provide us with friendly conversation and to fulfill our requests. The executive chef is evidently very hardworking, serving dishes like their Montauk Pearls on the Half Shells, Tuna and Crab Tian, Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi, and Plaza Café’s Lobster and Shrimp ‘Shepard’s Pie.’ Ultimately, my family am I found our trip to last about 2 hours and enjoying it the whole way through. Would definitely recommend to someone hoping to have a heartwarming evening.

Are you in the mood for love? While in relationships, it takes two, here you can be on the receiving end and need to raise your fork and glass repeatedly to your watering mouth effortlessly. Sweetly located off Hill Street, just a bit west behind the Southampton Movie Theatre is the Plaza Cafe. Truly a gastronomic delight and visually appealing, definitely romantic. The staff is most welcoming and attentive. Our recent server, Maryelle, was attentive and professional. The chef here deserves five stars plus rating as each entree is presented with style and taste worthy of being in the running with the best. Our foursome was also enjoying the unique theatre combo, so we dined on a three-course selection and made the 7:00 pm play of Mama Mia at the Southampton Cultural Center, within walking distance.
