There’s no question, our favorite new restaurant this season is Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton. Built in 1842 for its namesake, Judge Abraham Topping Rose and his family, the gorgeous Greek Revival style mansion – one of the few remaining in the area – has been carefully restored to honor its antique elements while creating a modern space which caters to retreats, weddings, private parties, or a romantic dinner date night at ubër chef Tom Colicchio’s restaurant!

Doc and I stopped in this weekend for dessert and got some seasonal scoop from Landy F. Labadie [Director of Food & Beverage] on the hot happenings at Topping Rose House below:
