Highly recommended – a little Spanish gem in the Hamptons ✨
My husband and I came for a date night and absolutely loved it. Chef Alex welcomed us himself – incredibly warm and genuine. As a Spaniard, I can say the Spanish influence here is truly authentic. The dishes are made with passion and respect for real Spanish flavors, and you feel it in every bite.
The croquetas (almost melted in our mouths) and the lamb were unforgettable – easily standouts of the night. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were even better
A memorable dinner, I’m already counting the days to come back and try the paella with autentic socarrat

R.AIRE at The Hampton Maid is fantastic! The ambiance is amazing, very clean, well lit and sexy! Such a great vibe for a top meal! Chef Alex is truly a master of his craft
My husband and I enjoyed an evening at The Hampton Maid (check their ratings for my review!) and used the dinner addition to our stay. We enjoyed some drinks at the bar and the staff was superb!
Once seated for a late dinner we started with Lobster Bisque and Calamari a la Romana as starters, then a delicious salmon and lamb shank with a fabulous Basque cheesecake! Our waiter was attentive and everything was cooked to perfection!
I encourage anyone who appreciates a delicious meal in a great ambiance to try it! You won’t regret it!

I went with my husband and tried the LI Restaurant Week menu. Variety of options which was a plus but we both left quite disappointed.
For appetizers we ordered Crispy Calamari & meatballs. Calamari was lightly breaded and it came with a delicious sauce, meatballs were good but definitely tasted better ones.
For Main Course we got the Filet Mignon that was served with green beans & fries as well as Seafood Paella. The meat in my opinion tasted a little burnt on the outside but for my husband it was good! Green beans were good and fries excellent! Regarding the paella, it was a huge disappointment. First because they come and show you the paella in the skillet and then they bring it to you on a plate with the rice and calamari on one side and the rest of the seafood on the other. The rice tasted fishy and it was not up to standards, the rest of the seafood was quite plain. I was expecting a real paella like the ones in Spain so it was disappointing in every aspect.
Finally for dessert we got 2 slices of cake. ”Tarta de Santiago” said it was almond cake with fresh berries. The slice came with only one strawberry. Cake was okay. The second slice was the chocolate hazelnut which was absolutely delicious and extremely soft.
The service was good, but nothing exceptional. I was expecting more from my waiter. She did not pay too much attention to our table and she will start talking or saying something to us while she was walking away. Not the service that we had imagined.
Will come back for brunch as it is delicious and has big portions but unfortunately not for dinner anytime soon.

My dining experience at Hampton Maid’s R.AIRE restaurant last Saturday was nothing short of exceptional. Under the culinary expertise of executive chef Alex Bujoreanu, each dish presented a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate.
Starting with the razer clams, I was transported by the freshness and delicate balance of flavors. The Spanish sardines followed suit, showcasing the chef’s skill in transforming simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces.
For dessert, the selection of mixed gelato was the perfect sweet ending to the meal, offering a variety of flavors that tantalized the taste buds.
The cocktails and wine pairings curated by the staff were impeccable, elevating the dining experience to new heights. Each sip complemented the dishes perfectly, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal.
I must commend the chef for his recommendations, which undoubtedly made a significant difference in the dining experience. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of the meal.
Furthermore, the atmosphere of the restaurant was serene, providing the ideal backdrop for a memorable evening. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and tranquil ambiance truly made for an unforgettable dining experience at Hampton Maid’s R.AIRE restaurant.
I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary journey. From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll be greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

We were visiting friends locally and we decided to stay at the Hampton Maid and have the New Year’s Eve dinner at the R.Aire.
It turned out to be an absolutely lovely evening and the dinner was excellent, in my opinion.
We arrived a bit late, but the host seated us immediately.
The restaurant has an air of modern with just the right hint of home details to make it perfect for a family dinner.
We started with some drinks: martini and an old fashioned. Both were tasty and had just the right combination of spices and alcohol.
Being New Year’s Eve, the restaurant had a 3 course menu with some options.
We were served with a glass of champagne and a smoked oyster on a half shell with a lemon foam. These were complimentary, on the house and designed to clean the palate and allow for a better tasting of the rest of the course.
I chose to start with the scallops crudo which were served in a carved rock style dish and featured a mignonette sauce and fresh radishes. The scallops were smooth and sweet and the sauce was slightly hot and salty just enough to complement the shellfish.
Second, I have selected the crispy duck breast with polenta. The duck was offered medium cooked, just as I like it, and was complemented by the crispy skin left on one side. The meat was tender and moist, the sauce complementing it with just a tad of sharpness. The crispy skin was just crunchy enough and had the added salt to balance the entire meal. The polenta was baked and a bit on the hard side, but I guess I am so used eating the southern style, creamy polenta, that I am a bit biased towards my wife’s cooking style.
I finished the meal with the Chocolate Hazelnut Cake which really shined in my opinion. It was not very sweet and the hazelnuts enhanced the taste and offered a pleasant addition to the rich and velvety body of the cake.
We enjoyed a bottle of Petit Pissarres from 2020 which turned out to be an exciting find.
My wife had the pomegranate baby kale and goat cheese salad, the Wagyu charred filet mignon and the same cake, while my daughter had the mini lamb filet with greens, the Wagyu charred filet and the cake.
I have never seen my daughter finish a 3 course meal EVER! She loved both the lamb and the Wagyu filet and had half of my cake as well. She even cleaned up the string beens accompanying the Wagyu filet! My wife, who usually goes for more fatty cuts of meat, raved about her steak as well.
I asked the chef about the way he managed to char the filet so well while maintaining its moisture inside and he allowed me in his little secret: the meat was cooked over hight temperature coals in an authentic Japanese hand made grill. I must have one of those for myself!
The service was extremely quick and attentive to our needs, the drinks were refilled promptly and we were checked on frequently to make sure we had everything we desired.
Overall, I had a wonderful evening at the R.Aire and were truly impressed with the quality of the food and service.
We will definitely return when in the area.

This place is a hidden gem located in a historic and famous bed and breakfast place in Hamptons.
They seem to use mostly organic ingredients ,they also have a greenhouse where they cultivate their own veggies and herbs .
Food is very sophisticated, and presented like a Michelin star restaurant.
Some of my favorite tapas here are organic artichoke hearts , chorizo, octopus,meatballs, patatas bravas and gamba.
For main course I highly recommend their paellas as well as wild caught salmon and their wagyu filet mignon…
If you are a wine drinker ,they have an extensive list of wines from all around the world as well as alot of quality Spanish wines
Their Basque style cheesecake, almond cake and crema Catalana is also a must try …
The set up is also very high-end and it has beautiful view of the ocean

I started with a cocktail, Summer Cindy which was very refreshing, loved it.
For food I had the Crispy Artichokes, delicious. After I had the Burger. I really like the combination of wagyu and chorizo. For dessert I the their special, Banda de Frutas. It was good, but I would have preferred the pastry to be warm.
Overall I really enjoyed, food was great, atmosphere was great and Audrey was attentive, kind and explained the dishes. Beautiful place to dine in.
