Southold Restaurants You Have to Visit 🍲
North Fork Table & Inn
Located in the midst of the North Fork’s farms, vineyards and waterways, North Fork Table & Inn finds its home in a carefully preserved, historic countryside home in Southold. Whether you find yourself staying at the Inn or stumble in on your way across the East End, North Fork Table & Inn is a must-try Southold location.
The restaurant prides itself on its revitalization of the historic property, and of course, in its eclectic, carefully selected menu. Restaurateur & Michelin-starred Chef John Fraser and his team have worked diligently to emphasize the historic nature of the property, as well as a farm-to-table philosophy.
The dinner menu boasts an array of snacks, appetizers, entrees, and selections from their wood burning hearth. Brunch presents the same caliber of menu items, with snacks, breakfast items and lunch items. Its “The Farmer, The Fisherman, The Winemaker” section of the brunch menu offers a confit duck hash, a lobster scramble, and a Blue Duck bagel, charcuterie and cheese respectively. Its wine and dessert menus provide the perfect pairing or ending to your meal.

Wednesday's Table
Wednesday’s Table gets its name from a sentimental story. Owners Linh and Lena recall their father, who immigrated to the U.S. in the 70s, working hard all week, and spending his one day off-- on Wednesdays-- making meals for his six daughters. Linh and Lena hope to translate the feeling of that memory to their customers with their specially chosen menu items.
Visit Wednesday’s Table for lunch and choose from a variety of hot sandwiches like the Miso Marinated Steak, Pork Bahn Mi, and a Mushroom Truffle Grilled cheese. Also available are a selection of cold sandwiches, salads, and sides.
Wednesday’s Table is open Thursday through Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and closed on Wednesdays.
