DOPO La Spiaggia
this was truly one of the strangest dining experiences i’ve ever had. you can tell the place is going through transition and it impacted the entire dining experience.
the hosts initially sat us outside adjacent to the host stand… facing the parking lot? we asked to be moved inside and got a new server who made us feel so rushed! we had just sat and were talking when she walked over to us mid sentence, cuts us off and says “sorry to interrupt can i get you started with anything” we then ordered a starter (spicy tuna tartare and then both ordered the steak)
our tuna tartare arrived with no crackers.. we were supposed to just eat it with our forks? we had gotten bread that was hard and stale and i looked over and saw a basket of bread, uncovered, sitting out that they were slicing and putting on tables. there were flies crawling over our bread so imagine how many were crawling over the basket?!
when the steak arrived my friend and i were shocked!!! we honestly were starving and didn’t want to be those people that sent back steaks but genuinely have never eaten a worse steak. it was described as Painted Hills Strip, creamy tellicherry pepper sauce, crushed potatoes what we got was a grey steak, cut SO thick, with a gelatinous sauce (pls refer to pics to laugh bc how could that be described as CREAMY) and whole unsalted bland potatoes described as “crushed” one potato had an entire chunk missing. it also had capers on it?? for $52 i’ve had better steaks at chilis. at one point i said, im so hungry but i cannot finish this.
we also felt incredibly rushed despite the place being fairly empty.
the hamptons is expensive but pls spend your money somewhere where it doesn’t feel like you just threw $200 in the trash

cool gallery with your typical aloof and uninterested front desk art gallery girl, spacious but quick to get through and not as packed as other galleries in the city.
