Backyard at Solé East Resort
Solé East
90 Second House Road
Montauk, NY 11954
"The original restaurant lost our reservation" and "Sure, it is Friday, but we can seat your party of nine tonight without a problem" are typically not promising starts to a dinner get together. It is a good thing we did not let those setbacks dissuade our enthusiasm.
Notes
Amy and I have been here before. Once for cocktails and outdoor movies. Once with Irene for dinner.
The exterior hides the gem of the Backyard.
