Calling all foodies! The spring edition of Long Island Restaurant week kicks off on Sunday, April 23 and will run through April 30.
Over 50 Long Island restaurants will participate in the biannual event, which offers multi-course prix-fixe meals at several price points including a $22 two-course lunch and three-course dinners for $27, $37 or $44.
Participating restaurants will offer the deal every night they are open from Sunday to Sunday except on Saturday, when certain restaurants may only offer the special menu until 7 p.m.
Reservations are recommended and gratuities are not included in the fixed price. For more information, visit longislandrestaurantweek.com.
Here’s a list of participating North Fork restaurants to consider this year:
Bistro 72, Riverhead
$22 lunch | $37 dinner
A restaurant week mainstay, Bistro 72 is offering both lunch and dinner specials all week. We’re especially excited about the dinner menu, which features an arugula goat cheese salad and pan roasted chicken topped with demi-glace, sweet potato mash and seasonal vegetables. To see the full menu, visit bistro-72.com.
Diggers Ales N’ Eats, Riverhead
$22 lunch | $37 dinner
After an 18-year hiatus, chef Jim Liszanckie is back at Diggers Ales N’ Eats to create classic Riverhead staples that locals know and love. Although their menu was not available at the time of publication, it’s worth keeping an eye out for updates at longislandrestaurantweek.com.
The Dimon Estate, Jamesport
$44 dinner
Since taking over the former Jamesport Manor Inn, chef Chris Kar has crafted inventive menus that all seek to honor and tell the story of the Dimon family. We’d start with the Jamesport fried brie and splurge on a premium entree (an additional $6) to try their braised short ribs with Boursin polenta, roasted asparagus, crispy onions and red wine demi. For dessert, finish with the white chocolate cheesecake.
Farm Country Kitchen, Riverhead
$37 dinner
Farm Country Kitchen is easily one of the best restaurants on the North Fork with an underrated view of the Peconic River. While their restaurant week menu was not made available at time of publication, you can check for updates at longislandrestaurantweek.com.
Cooperage Inn, Riverhead
$37 dinner
The Cooperage Inn is another Restaurant Week staple that always offers a diverse menu. We can’t resist coming back for their savory chicken pot pies. For dessert, we’d recommend the coconut cream or key lime pie. To view the full menu, click here.
Legends, New Suffolk
$44 dinner
Located opposite the New Suffolk waterfront, Legends has a large sports bar on one side and an upscale dining area on the other. Though their menu has not yet been posted, it’s a beloved spot and one of our top picks for Restaurant Week.
The Preston House, Riverhead
$37 dinner
The Preston House is a popular date night spot located in the heart of downtown Riverhead. We’d recommend the strawberry salad to start and the wild mushroom agnolotti and grilled skirt steak as a main entree. For those with a sweet tooth, their s’mores parfait made with graham cracker blondie with toasted marshmallow and chocolate sauce is a must-try!
On The Docks, Aquebogue
$37 dinner
Formerly Phil’s Waterfront, On the Docks is a great spot for dining on a creek. While their restaurant menu was not made available at time of publication, you can check for updates at longislandrestaurantweek.com.
