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.

Burrata salad

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.

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.

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 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 !

Farm fresh salad

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

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!

I'll try to keep this relevant- we found this place out of pure coincidence, as I was craving a…read moreburger, they had burgers on the menu, and it was literally on our way. So we stopped for an early diner. Ambiance was nice, servers were as well, got the food served- I had their "special "burger- forgot what they call it , and my wife some chicken soulvaki. Her chicken was a bit dry, but not a big deal. My beef patty was a bit unusual, in a sense that if tasted more like some sort of a meatball rather than a burger patty, but again, not such a big deal. Would I get it again? Probably not, was different and not necessarily the best choice to put it in a bun and call it a burger. The fries were nice and crispy, and the coleslaw unfortunately had no taste. We finished the dinner, got home and about half an hour later my stomach started to rumble. Became very bloated and will spare you guys the details, but it was a horrible night, with chills, the runs, etc. That was actually the reason that compelled me to write a review for this place, otherwise I would have put it into the average and somewhat a bit pricy type of places. But they added the little extra on top. Hope I'm just an isolated case.

This place never disappoints. The attention to detail from the kitchen puts Hellenic a cut above…read moreother restaurants in the area. The food is always on point. I had the lamb shoulder this afternoon and it was perfection. Simple sides of roasted potatoes and cippolini onions are genius. Selection of local wines is outstanding. Great selection and its nice to see support for our local producers. As good as the wine is, be sure to have a homemade Arnold Palmer. The absolutebest.
