Wow! Went there last weekend for a pig roast with 10 friends. We had the best time! The suckling pig was incredible. Chef Ari had the coal fired spit going all afternoon. Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff is so friendly, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this place enough. The level of detail and execution that goes into every plate is beyond belief.

Absolutely incredible dishes, and so very sweet and patient with dogs. Our pup got to enjoy the doggy menu over the weekend, and the staff was so accommodating. Highly recommend

Bistro Ete is our absolute favorite restaurant. We love the super cozy, welcoming atmosphere that always manages to feel like a meal at home. The food is wonderful and there are enough changing seasonal specials to keep you on your toes, but also a great menu of fresh and comforting staples to go back to. The simple mixed greens is a life changing salad. Get. It. The staff, Liz and Ari – I cannot say enough nice things about the whole crew, but they are a large part of what keeps us coming back week after week. They are all just the best and their warmth and genuine hospitality make every visit special.

Absolutely amazing! Every dish I have ever ordered has been outstanding. From the duck wings to the fried olives to the halibut with champagne truffle sauce to name just a few. The service is impeccable as their staff is family. The drinks especially the margaritas are delightful. The relaxed family style and welcoming atmosphere are unique to the Hamptons. Cannot recommend it enough.

Sat outside on a beautiful Saturday evening. Brought both dogs and had amazing experience. It’s not a place I’d frequent (the drive is almost an hour and a half from where we live), but as a once or twice a year event, would absolutely come back.
The food prepared for our dogs was something I was actually interested in eating so you can expect some extremely upscale dining options.
The stand out was our server though. Kat was fantastic, going above and beyond, telling us the truth about food choices as it relates to our appetite, allergies, and taste preferences. We stuck with her suggestions through most of the meal and were not disappointed at any point.
The owner was super kind and our truffle cup run over. She even came over with truffle to ensure dogs got truffle on their food!
Some folks complained in these reviews about the stuffed animals inside but we were delighted to see a large plush of Remy the rat from the film Ratatouille sitting at a table just inside the front door. Warmed my heart, so I say keep em!
Also, if they have the truffle grilled cheese, you need it in your life. You just do. Get it. Now.

Such a great experience. The owner is charismatic and I believe stopped at every table. I lived in Alaska for 7 years and I’ve eaten a lot over Halibut. The special was Halibut w/ a champagne caviar sauce and it was in the top two I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy in the lower 48. The Truffle grilled cheese was awesome. The duck was cooked perfectly. The steak fritz was on point. The soup dujour was cream of cauliflower and was just perfect on the pallet. We will definitely be back for the aged steaks and more.

Wonderful dinner, we had a terrific dinner. Food was prompt, service excellent, great menu, and our dinner was fantastic. Chef/wife combo works, and 10yrs in business is NOT easy in restaurant space. I can’t wait to return.

A true gem! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. The genuine hospitality of Ari and Liz shines through in every detail. The food is simply exceptional and the drinks are amazing. We eat there quite often and every dish we’ve tried has always been perfectly prepared and presented. The waitstaff are all fabulous…attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance is warm and inviting. We always leave looking forward to coming back.

Bistro Ete is one of the best restaurants in the Hamptons!!! First & most important… the food is delicious !!!! It is clear that Ari (chef/owner) loves what he does & you can tell by the passion that goes into each item served ! Every detail is perfect from the beautiful infused ice cubes, to the speciality drinks & home made ice cream .. all are impressive !! Some of my favorite entrees include Ari’s special dry aged steak & the Friday night rotisserie chicken .. My husband loves the Cacio e Pepe!!! This the perfect restaurant for any occasion, a bday celebration or an intimate dinner with friends. The first time I went I was blown away at the attention to detail & chef Ari’s showmanship!!! I have been a fan ever since!! The staff are friendly, attentive & are very accommodating to certain dietary restrictions. Bistro Ete has a cozy & lively vibe and it never disappoints!!

Went in cautious from the various one stars but I think they maybe a bit exaggerated. Went on a Sunday night and was treated with great care and respect. The food was typical to the profile of French cuisine and the flavors were robust. I greatly enjoyed the braised beef pappardelle but regretted not trying the escargot because that table next to use seemed to really enjoy them.
