Nestled in an elegant 18th-century building just off Main Street, The 1770 House offers a culinary journey steeped in historic charm and modern finesse. This family-owned gem has been serving East Hampton with upscale American classics since 1977, perfect for date nights, small celebrations, or cozy gatherings.

What to Eat

• Starters & Small Plates: Begin with crisp Lamb Lollipops or Mini Crab Cakes, then sample the creamy Broccoli–Cheddar Soufflé—a local signature.

• Entrées: Their grilled Prime Rib is tender and rich, while the Sea Scallops feature plump, caramelized scallops served over seasonal risotto. For poultry lovers, the Roast Duck Breast with cherry gastrique strikes a balance between savory and sweet.

• Pasta & Lighter Fare: The Butternut Squash Ravioli is both comforting and elegant, often paired with sage brown butter. The Spinach & Goat Cheese Salad, brightened with toasted almonds and vinaigrette, is great for a lighter meal.

• Desserts: Don’t miss the homemade Dark Chocolate Espresso Torte or a classic Apple Crisp à la Mode, warm and indulgent endnotes to a well-rounded meal.

Drinks & Ambiance

Elegant yet relaxed, the dining rooms feature fireplaces, exposed beams, and antique furnishings—creating a polished, heritage-rich atmosphere.

Nightlife Vibe
The 1770 House is quietly vibrant after dusk. Soft candlelight and mellow background music create a calm, intimate ambiance rather than a loud or flashy environment. It's ideal for lingering over dessert and digestifs, or enjoying conversation by the fire after a late dinner.
