For many years I wanted to pay homage to my Grandmother Else who immigrated in the 1930s to my beloved neighborhood, Red Hook in Brooklyn, NY.I built my dream concept by tapping into my love of old NYC Taverns and imagined where my Grandmother would have wanted to go with family and friends and the Red Hook Tavern was born.Offering a timeless menu now known for its handmade pastas, spicy mussels and the legendary 45-Day Dry Aged Cheeseburger, alongside its coveted wine list, that guests come from all over the world to enjoy.Sag Harbor Tavern is a continuation of a tribute to my Grandmothers in beautiful Sag Harbor, NY. My Grandmother, Veronica was a Navy Nurse in WWII and a proud member of the American Legion. A building that we are humbled to now share with other proud Veterans.Sag Harbor is a special village with a great history and a wonderful community of wildly talented, hardworking folks. We are honored to be a part of this community and hope to do it proud.~Billy

    We visit every summer for dinner and breakfast. Superb food, a cut above most places in Montauk. Up there with the missed Dave’s Grill high standards in food quality, creativity, distinct flavors and ingredient combos. Overall, a fine dining experience experience with a relaxed Montauk beach vibe. Top notch cocktails and fine wine round out the well-curated menu. Mind you though, nothing stuffy at all about The Bird!

    Super friendly young gentleman host, sat us right away and brought us waters and had the waitress at our table within minutes. Helen(?) server was so sweet and knowledgeable . We had a pucker of excellent red sangria. Appetizer of seafood stuff jalapeños and clams snd chorizo were outstanding . Next time I visit I think I will do a double order of the clams as my main course! It was outstanding ! My shrimp in garlic sauce was very good and my husband loved his pork chop with peppers and chorizo was excellent . Chef came out to greet the patrons , very nice touch! Can't wait to go back!
