Dockers in East Quogue (the only "Hamptons" that seems cool anymore) is Mark and Lynn's new favorite restaurant. As with many perfect dining experiences, it defies easy description, but I will try. The setting overlooking the water is the outstanding physical feature of the place. The waitstaff is efficient, attractive with good instincts (they handled my mother-in-laws request to order fried flounder, an item not on the menu, with good humor and poise). The drinks are imaginative and interesting (the Oystertini; a traditional martini with a single Oyster and tobasco is my new favorite drink).
The food is sublime, my father in law enjoyed his stuffed sole more than anything I have ever seen him eat in a restaurant and my tuna tartar was perfect and beautiful. The atmosphere is a rarity on Long Island; chic, but laid back. This place is it...
