PAWPAW — Restaurant in Town of Southold

I would give less atars if I could. I went to this 4 years ago and than agreed with the 5 star but not now. I decided to suprise my BF with what I recalled was a great guided culinary experience with local ingrients prepared in unique ways. What we got was the complete opposite. First the location is a rundown B&B that I do nto knowif its even open or under reno. Walked in to a dark dank building, no one greeted us. As we stood around a waiter finally asked our name adn told us to sit at any 2 seat table we wanted. From there is was down hill in a race car. The chef never introduced himself or talked about any dish. We got vague explaination from the server. First course was a luke warm tea over flowers the nextr course which was the only one edible wasn't even cooked by him but a local bakery bread and butter. 3rd was overcooked almost burnt sunchocks with a tasteless cream sauce and a pay on ketchup made out of carrots - cute but the burnt taste overwhlemed everything The next was a bowl of mushy grey and I mean grey starchy undercooked dumplings. The fish was so overcooked and covered in an oily sauce side dish in a soy carmel that tasted like bad fish - Duck was tough and the side was an overcooked sweet potato topped very tart dried cherries that blew your palate Last I do not even recall what is what suppose to be but it was a cake that was so raw that I actually has to spit it out in my napkin. To top it all - I went to use the bathroom - wondering around a very dark abandoned building but the few dinner guest. No signage for restroom and no one to help - Finally located it. As I shut the door the handle fell off....I spent 10min trying to fix so I could get out. We left immediately *both of us were sick all night This is no culinary experience - It is an overpriced rip off If you want to service unique dishes showcasing local ingredients at the very least come out to explain each dish and for the love of good food - cook it properly so others...

Omg. I would give 10 stars to this place. From booking to arriving and getting to speak to.Scott Who is our server and bartender. What a gentleman. He was kind, he was professional, and he was an absolute joy to talk to. The other young lady that was working there I just forgot her name. I’m sorry, but she was so sweet and they describe each and every dish that they bring out to you. At the end of the night the chef said Hello to everybody. He was 37 year-old Taylor Knapp. He is extremely talented. Before I forget going back to SCOTT The drinks he made were superb. Definitely knew what he was doing The food was over the top. The tastes that were in our mouth were just simply amazing and we can’t...

SOOOO GOOOOD!! such a FUN EXPERIENCE 🎉🎉🎉 trying the most AMAZZZZING FOODS you won’t find your typical run of the mill items on this tasting menu! Each dish is curated with the most unique ingredient pairings things you would never think to put together but are SOOOO GOOD!! Plus top it off with some wine OR you can bring your own for a corkage fee! DEF RECOMMEND!! PS our menu started out with baked sourdough bread of course even though I prefer an Atkins lifestyle 😂, it looked soooo good I had to eat it but don’t get toooo full to fast! Meaning don’t get full on the bread because the next dishes to come are more than enough to get full so pace yourself...
