Southold Social brings refined New American cuisine to the heart of Southold with a menu that celebrates local ingredients and the vibrant flavors of Long Island’s North Fork. The restaurant features an airy, modern dining room with coastal touches, soft wood accents, and elegant lighting, creating a relaxed yet upscale ambiance ideal for date nights, family dinners, or celebrating special occasions.

The menu is seasonally driven with a focus on fresh seafood, locally sourced produce, and elevated classics. To start, order the Charred Octopus, perfectly tender with a slight smoky char, served alongside fingerling potatoes, olives, and a lemon-herb vinaigrette. Another standout appetizer is the Local Burrata, creamy and rich, served with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of aged balsamic for a refreshing, farm-to-table starter.

For mains, seafood lovers will adore the Pan-Seared Sea Scallops, served atop sweet corn puree with sautéed greens and crispy pancetta for a balanced dish that highlights the sweetness of local scallops. The Dry-Aged Burger is a favorite for meat lovers, featuring a juicy dry-aged beef patty topped with aged cheddar, house-made pickles, and roasted garlic aioli, served on a toasted brioche bun with a side of hand-cut fries.

If you’re looking for pasta, try their Lobster Tagliatelle, featuring hand-cut pasta tossed with fresh lobster meat, cherry tomatoes, and a light white wine sauce – decadent yet delicately balanced. Pair your meal with a glass of North Fork rosé or their signature Southold Social Martini for a refreshing complement to your dinner.

Service at Southold Social is warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, enhancing the welcoming yet polished dining experience. Whether you’re dining indoors or on their outdoor patio during the warmer months, the atmosphere is relaxed with an understated coastal elegance.

Southold Social is a must-visit for anyone seeking fresh, seasonal New American cuisine, craft cocktails, and an elevated yet approachable dining experience on the North Fork.
