Sag Harbor, NY

B. Smith's Restaurant
DESCRIPTION: In keeping with most traffic in Sag Harbor, the restaurant is only open between May and October;given its harbor and fishing village heritage of the region, there is a larger emphasis on seafood compared to its sister restaurants in New York City and Washington, DC; thankfully, the chef ensures that your taste buds are rewarded; the decor is very tasteful, light and airy - well suited to its martime environment
