Just a skipping stone away in a Tudor-style mansion overlooking Georgica Pond sits Georgica Restaurant and Lounge, satisfying East Hampton’s hunger for modern American classics. In case you opted out of the Hamptons last summer, Georgica Restaurant and Lounge took over Saracen’s original turf.

Included as an “Haute Newcomer” in our “Insider’s Guide to the Haute Hamptons” in the previous summer’s last Hampton’s issue, Georgica, on Wainscott Stone Road, offers comfort foods steeped in luxury with decadent menu items.

Going into its second summer, Georgica will cater dishes made with ingredients of the utmost quality for the sophisticated tastes of posh residents and visitors, which includes everyone from models to restaurateurs to filmmakers. Georgica kicks off the season with dinner hours Thursday through Monday from 6 p.m. – 11 p.m. NY-based hospitality, lifestyle, and management company EMM Group will energize the restaurant and lounge on Saturday nights. The lounge will be open for elite hobnobbing on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.

Get ready for a delightful summer of weekend brunches, social dinners, and late-night sustenance at Georgica Restaurant & Lounge. This is one East End bistro that is sure to carry its top hotspot praises across the pond during Memorial Day weekend and beyond.
