Highway is a pretty chill, low key spot in East Hampton if you want to grab a drink or a bite to eat. It’s also easy to get to and find, as it’s right off the Montauk Highway. The staff, especially Fred, were very friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back for another Sapporo and the amazing atmosphere.

One of the elite restaurants in the Hamptons, Highway never disappoints. The vibe is eclectic yet fun on a busy night. The menu is always inventive and absolutely delicious. A nice wine list is accompanied by a creative cocktail menu. The service is excellent but always a touch cool to the touch in our experience. The bar is a nice oasis away from the general seating and well worth a visit should you miss a reservation window.

Exceptional Dining Experience in East Hampton! Highway Restaurant & Bar is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and top-notch service. The menu is exceptional, offering a creative selection of dishes that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients. The crispy duck salad and the truffle mushroom pizza were absolute standouts—beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat, and the attention to detail in each dish was evident. The ambiance is both chic and cozy, making it perfect for a date night, a special celebration, or just a relaxing evening out. The bar menu is equally impressive, with expertly crafted cocktails and a well-curated wine list. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring our experience was flawless from start to finish. It’s clear that Highway Restaurant takes pride in creating an exceptional dining experience for its guests. Whether you’re a local or just visiting the Hamptons, Highway Restaurant & Bar is a must-visit. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to return!

As I have previously said this isn’t just a typical restaurant. It’s a home away from home. Aside from the most amazing food, it’s all about the special people with the ultimate bartender, friendly with a huge smile of Fred to the professional servers like Teddy to the gatekeeper Amy at the reservations and of course, rounded out by the ultimate captain of the ship Rosa who just runs the most amazing establishment That you will leave smiling, enjoying and figuring out when you can come back. Hands-down, the best place in the Hamptons it’s just unfortunate. We’re about to enter the height of the season when things are about to get a little bit crazy so don’t hold it against them. They do their very best to accommodate everyone the best they can R Stone

Chef Justin Finney and his entire culinary team are unquestionably one of the finest in the Hamptons, continuously executing a beautifully diverse & delicious menu. Peter, Rosa, Freddie, Arturo, Julian and many more dedicated hospitality professionals on the service team consistently deliver exceptional, Michelin caliber service out front that mirrors the passion for great, locally sourced cuisine delivered daily by Finney & team.The best of what’s around.

Cozy and relaxing decor with fresh New American cuisine. We came here for brunch and loved the daily frittata, spinach and herb omelets and the amazing burger. Service and the team were superb and look forward to coming back for dinner or more dishes.
