Beacon — Restaurant in Town of Southampton

What is going on in Sag Harbor? Have the customers been difficult this past season? Are customs different there than other places west of the Hamptons? It's my first meal ever in a Sag Harbor restaurant, and I'm still confused about why exactly certain staff was so combative. I ordered a simple appetizer bowl of muscles cooked with only garlic and white wine. The bowl came with tomatoes added. I cannot eat tomatoes, since I'm allergic to them. I was graciously given another bowl. Unfortunately, all of the six muscles I ate from the bowl were bad, they had turned, were not fresh enough to continue eating. I was graciously given a plate of plain tuna tartar, the only other item in the restaurant that compliments my organic and low carb diet. It was very fresh, thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beacon is a Sag Harbor favorite for a reason—elevated dining, exceptional service, and one of the most stunning sunset views on the East End. The menu is always fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with a laid-back elegance that perfectly captures the Hamptons spirit.

A true gem that blends coastal sophistication with warm hospitality.
