Anything on the menu, from steak to seafood, can be ordered at the bar, but I highly recommend the Rowdy Burger.

Founded by a guy that can be described as the Hamptons' original piano man (sorry Billy Joel), actor and musician Bobby Van opened the doors of his eponymous restaurant in 1969 and it immediately became the favorite watering hole for a hoard of Hamptons writers, actors, artists and musicians.

The Chefs seemed to glow in the admiration of the epicureans that crowded the tent and the epicureans certainly glowed in the satiation of the chefs' culinary delights.

That alone should give The Restaurant at The Inn an honorary inclusion in the Oak Bar Series, but it does actually possess, in its own right, some of the best aspects of a true Oak Bar.
