MUSE Restaurant & Aquatic Lounge, offering “New World Cuisine,” is an inspiration for the senses. The restaurant boasts a 100-gallon salt-water fish tank bar top, a water wall, antique Argentine windows, a candle-lit chandelier and a Casablanca-inspired ceiling fan. Newsday raves, “It’s one of the best new restaurants in the Hamptons” in 2007 and later commended chef-owner Matthew Guiffrida saying, his “stellar spot serves full-flavored fare seasoned with imagination and whimsy. It’s always fun, invariable very good or better.”
Signature dishes to try are “Los Dos Tuna” described as (UNO) ahi tuna poke (Hawaiian style tartar) atop Morroccan vegetable tabouli spiked with wonton crouton and (DOS) jerked tuna lollipop on whipped avocado; Horseradish and gorgonzola crusted prime New York strip served atop Tuscan white beans, beef jerky and pommes frites hash with tawny port demi glace; Blackened sashimi style ahi tuna “tile” on whipped gingered carrots and baby arugula with avocado mousse and all the sushi fixins; and “Are You Ready For Smore” with dark chocolate mousse, Graham cracker French toast, and torched homemade marshmallow.

“This is THE most beautiful bar in the Hamptons. The reef tanks are amazing, the mood is great and the food is spectacular. Chef Matthew dazzles with his unique dishes, all expertly prepared. No wonder the New York Times rated this gem a Very Good! Tough to find in Water Mill but worth seeking out. If you eat out one time this summer, go to Muse!”
