Debuting for the happening Summer 2019 season is Watermill’s newest eatery, The Garden at Watermill. The gorgeous outdoor dining destination offers Hamptonites a stunning setting for al fresco dining, with a menu designed for sharing. In addition to dining and drinking, guests can also take advantage of the expansive outdoor setting to enjoy lawn games, and even a classic lobster bake for up to 12 people.Photo Credit: Nitzan Rubin
Highlighting American summer fare, the menu offers classic dishes like BBQ platters by Stuey’s of Locust Valley, seafood dishes, as well as fresh summer plates like well-balanced crudos including a delicious Salmon with pear and truffle oil dish; Day Boat Scallops with pickled wasabi stems; or Octopus with yuzu kosho and crispy chickpea. Drawing inspiration from its beach setting and also taking advantage of the fresh Long Island seafood available, The Garden at Watermill will embody Hamptons summer living at its finest with a luxurious lineup of cuisine, drinks and entertainment.Photo Credit: Nitzan Rubin
In addition to the already stellar offerings of the project, they’ll be taking it a step further by hosting a series of summer pop-ups at the location from acclaimed global chefs starting in July. First up will be James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole’s Uchi, hailing from Austin, TX—bringing its exquisite contemporary Japanese cuisine to Watermill. Other featured chefs will include chef Matsuharu ‘Micha’ Tsumura of Maido (which is currently ranked No. 7 in the world by 50 Best), coming from Lima, Peru. His team will be hosting a 15-day pop-up starting August 1st, where diners can experience the chef’s signature Nikkei cuisine, which blends Japanese and Peruvian techniques together to create a vibrant and flavorful menu with dishes ranging from sea urchin rice to unique combinations of nigiri sushi, plus so much more. We recommend booking a reservation in advance here, as it’s predicted to fill up fast.
Considered a ‘Backyard Hideaway’, The Garden at Watermill encourages group dining and bringing people together to enjoy all of Long Island’s unique summer offerings. The 60-seat dining room blends charming, familial dining with the beautiful outdoors as the room opens out onto the expansive outdoor backyard, complete with a floral garden, lawn games and private alcoves for larger groups.
