    Burrata salad
    Maria P.

    Fabulous service! Delicious food and drinks, perfect stop before you hit the ferry Or just because you are in town. Great experience we will be back!

    I stopped here for dinner on a Saturday and was able to be seated right away. We ordered a cesear salad, buffalo wings, clam chowder and the salmon. We weren't a fan of the cesear salad as it was full pieces of lettuce. We enjoyed the rest of the meal. The buffalo wings had a generous amount of sauce and weren't dry at all. Beware that the tables are extremely close together so it can feel like you're eating with strangers. I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a spot to eat in Greenport.

    Oysters

    First & South is a great dog-friendly spot, we brought our pooch and felt right at home. Started with wine and local oysters, which were excellent. The salmon was very good, and the tuna burger stood out with an Asian twist, sesame oil and a hint of wasabi. I went with a side salad, but honestly you can't go wrong with the menu. Fur desert we had ice scream n sprinkles are free! Service was friendly and attentive. I'll be back to try more.

    We had a great dining experience at First and South. Even without a reservation on a Saturday evening, we were seated right away. Hostess was great and very personable. The space is cozy and comfortable, which made for a really relaxed meal. We started with the wedge salad and the chicken tortilla soup special of the day--both were excellent. For our entrées, we ordered the shrimp pasta and the steak, and everything was delicious. The bartender also made a great espresso martini, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a wonderful visit! We'd definitely come back.

    Farm fresh salad

    Great food, had the extremely satisfying oysters and a garden fresh salad. Unbelievably satisfying. Quaint north end ambience and nice servers.

    We enjoyed a really nice dinner at First and South this past week! Erin was our server and she really took care of us throughout the meal. The restaurant is charming and we had such a nice, private table in the corner as I requested on RESY. They even had live music playing outside that we heard through the open window next to us. Cool for a Tuesday night. Love that First and South is so farm-to-table. Everything was fresh and locally sourced, especially the North Fork wine! I had the chicken dish which came with some very delicious mushrooms along with croutons that sucked up all the amazing juices and flavors. The chicken could have been a little more moist, but it was very good. My husband enjoyed his miso salmon on a bed of greens ... everything was so good. I wish we had room for dessert as the options looked so good. We will have to save room for next time !

    Tuna burger
    Matt Z.

    Super cool location! Prices were as expected for the location and time of year actually kind of fair to be honest. Now the food was great. The wings were good and the fries were awesome. Tuna burger was good but that brownie sundae... Unbelievable!! One of the best Sundaes I have had in a long time. I'd come back just for that. Service was good as well. It was very busy inside, but they were on top of it.

    Everything about this place is so amazing. I can't wait to go back. The upscale but still chill atmosphere is notable. The service was good, too. What we got: Burrata with confit tomato's, (nut free) basil pesto with a side of crostini - 10/10. The burrata was creamy and delicious. The pesto was vibrant. The confit was sweet but savory adding a lovely touch. A Really Good Burger - it really was a really good burger. The patty was hearty and cooked to perfections. I added cheese and bacon. The bacon was THICK and delicious, definitely worth the extra money. First Fries - incredible skin on 3 times blanched fries. You're able to add on sauces for dipping which is such a nice touch. We got the garlic aioli which was really acidic forward, truffle aioli which was divine with the right about of truffle, and the scallion remoulade which quickly became my fave dip after dip. Lemonade - it has the perfect balance of sweet but tartness. I could imagine having it on a hot day as a refreshing beverage. Overall, I highly recommend!!

    Burger w Cheddar and "First Fries"
    John C.

    What a wonderful Christmas vibe in Greenport. This place is great all year 'round but it's magical at Christmas time with a great "small town" atmosphere. Off season most of us here live locally but there's no discrimination against the straggling visitors. Food is outstanding with many, rotating, local options. Solid cocktail menu and a nice, simple wine list. The Chowder just may be the best around. The fries definitely are!

    Saffron mussels with cream, lemongrass, shallots
    Felice L.

    Great lunch! Also nice brunch menu. Sat on the porch with our doggo today. Service was friendly, helpful and prompt. I had the saffron mussels and an order of fries with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc; hubby had the ahi tuna burger. The pièce de résistance was the gluten-free brownie sundae - wow, what an amazing and delectable treat! Definitely a relaxing and satiating meal. Highly recommend sitting outdoors. Live music today was an added bonus to enhance the dining experience! We will be back!

    We really enjoyed our lunch at First and South! The staff was super friendly and loved that we had our dog. We were able to sit out on the covered patio with him and the waitress was really sweet with him. She kept our drinks filled and was very fast with everything. We got our oysters in no time and our main dishes didn't take too long. I tried the chicken sandwich that came with a Thai sauce. It had an amazing flavor and I would definitely order it again if we came back. We really liked First and South with its screened-in patio and cute inside. It is a really good option for lunch in Greenport especially if you can't have gluten like my family.

    clam chowder
    Nicole N.

    My partner and I were visiting Greenport area and stopped by First and South for a quick lunch! It was super busy on a weekend so it took a while for us to get seated, but afterwards food came quick and servers were attentive. Started off with their clam chowder which was well seasoned and tasty! While I liked the salty bacon flavors, I felt like it overpowdered the clams a little, or perhaps the ratio can be adjusted? Enjoyed how creamy the soup was as well as the amount of additional vegetables. For mains, the lobster and shrimp sliders were better than expected. The seafood pieces were fresh and the mayo wasn't too much. The ratio of meat to veggies were good. Fries were pretty standard. The fried chicken sandwich was pretty decent! Liked how they used two thin tender pieces of fried chicken breast instead of one. Only wish they put their wet ingredients on top so the burger could stay more intact. Overall, a decent meal but nothing crazy to write home. Would be interested in seeing what other seasonal items they offer next time!

    My wife and I came here for lunch and had an outstanding experience. I ordered the New England clam chowder, and it was easily one of the best I've had--loaded with clams and perfectly balanced without being overly creamy. My wife had the shrimp and lobster sliders, which were fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with her Bloody Mary. But the real standout? The hand-cut fries--crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious! Despite the place being busy, the service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

    Clam chowder - delicious!

    Why have I been walking past Alpina everytime I'm in Greenport?…read more Was it the dark atmosphere? Did I think I was getting just another American-German influenced restaurant with only brats and potato pancakes? Did I expect polka? The experience was actually slow and refined, without the white tablecloths. Alpina has German, Swiss, and slightly Northern Italian influenced cuisine, along with a selection of alcohols I was completely unfamiliar with... which made the experience feel full of new things. The most memorable food was actually one of the simplest. The chef prepared incredibly creamy, caramelized onions with a slight sauerkraut tang that was amazeballs. I told our waiter that I'd write him a love letter over it, and here I am! The pappardelle had shredded duck, cheese, and big, fun, chewy noodles that were satisfying to slurp. It just needed a dash of pepper to elevate it. The meat and cheese board included a few things I'd never tried before, and it was so good I was searching for a meat shop in Manhattan so we could buy them again. Portion sizes aren't huge for the price, but it was worth it to us. Don't be afraid of the dark entrance, the ligonberry on the menu, and ask the bartender about the connection between the giant copper gnome and penguin shaker gone rouge.

We can officially stop searching--Lucharitos Greenport is it. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun, relaxed, and welcoming. We started with the Carne Asada Lucha Fries, and honestly, they were worth the trip alone. Crispy fries piled high with perfectly seasoned steak and all the toppings... absolutely incredible. Then came the Mango Margaritas with a little Tajín on the rim. If you haven't tried them that way, do yourself a favor. The sweet mango with the spicy, tangy kick from the Tajín is a game changer. The portions are huge, the prices are more than fair (especially for the amount of food you get), and everything tasted fresh and made with care. It's become one of our favorite date night spots because you can have an amazing meal, a couple of drinks, and leave happy without feeling like you emptied your wallet. If you're looking for outstanding Tex-Mex, fantastic margaritas, stellar service and a fun atmosphere, Lucharitos Greenport absolutely delivers. We can't wait to come back!

We stopped in on a whim and luckily they had plenty of space for our impromptu lunch on the rooftop. It was the perfect space! We got two seats on the bar overlooking the water. Your view is mostly parking lot below, but the beautiful covered roof behind you is enough to transport you to an Italian seaside in your head. It was an intentionally small lunch for us, as we knew we'd be having a big meal not too long after, so we decided to share the fish tacos, along with a side of grilled asparagus and then we also impulse ordered a few pieces of the sushi. Everything was delicious! The fish tacos ended up being the perfect thing for two people to share. The order came with two bigggg boys, so no fighting over a rogue 3rd taco. Sushi was fresh and so tasty, and the asparagus was perfectly grilled and a nice side. I can see this place getting vibey at night, especially on the rooftop with the bar right there.
