Fresno — Restaurant in Town of East Hampton

The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful and the hostess was kind and friendly when we entered. Another positive piece of feedback I have is that the duck spring rolls were delicious and a generous portion.

However, after that things went downhill. Our waitress seemed distracted and like she was irritated with us and trying not to appear so. It just kind of felt like she wanted to go home and we were keeping her from doing that. We had to send back my partner's pork chop that was raw. It was cold and red on the first cut piece. When we showed the waitress the raw meat, she seemed annoyed (not apologetic whatsoever ) And said with an irritated tone in her voice, "Well, how do you want it cooked?"

To be clear, we eat medium rare pork with no issue, but this was completely undercooked. No big deal I guess, mistakes happen.

We then ordered two glasses of red wine to have with our main dishes, (one of which we were waiting on since it was undercooked) but the wine never arrived which was a little confusing because the restaurant was pretty quiet since we took a late reservation. The salmon I ordered was okay at best, but felt under seasoned and uninspired. Our seasonal peach salad had peaches that were not ripe which was disappointing as the focal point of the dish.

I was quite surprised that after getting an undercooked main dish and forgetting our wine, no apology was offered for our unpleasant experience. I just can't fathom how at those price points I would ever go back....

It may be the end of the Summer season but Fresno is a year round gem. It is not a pop-up and has no gimmicks but what it does have is great food and atmosphere. It is not inexpensive but I never feel like I have been over charged because the food is just so good. I am writing this review because we were 4 people celebrating 2 birthdays on Aug 29th and we hit the server JACKPOT. His name is Jack and he made our night so special and that's not the norm at many Hampton's restaurants. His humility, knowledge of the menu and the wines was exceptional. We learned a little bit about him and what an interesting man. Educated, travelled, a local, a teacher and an all around gentleman. Hey Fresno, thanks for our luck in having Jack take care of our table. And to Jack, all the best to you and your students and to your family. Fresno year...

We sat at the bar because all tables were booked. The bartender is nice and knowledgeable. We had 2 appetizers; Fei mussels and green hummus, both were delicious( order bread if your having the mussels) For entre I had the NY strip with potatoes and asparagus; everything was perfectly cooked, to my personal taste the meat had a little bit too much salt.

My husband had the duck breast with couscous, onions and carrots. The duck had a soft sweet taste, everything else was well cooked. And for dessert we ordered the peach Melba to share; it wasn’t a real peach Melba, it was 2 halves of peach with ice cream and almonds. A couple cocktails and wine and they...
