Though it's anyone’s guess how many amidst the flesh-baring Hamptons throngs would even dare risk a flab hangover by gorging on the tasty slabs of Wagyu beef that Kobe Club is famous for, it’s hard to imagine a more scorching scene this summer. Restaurant master-of-the-universe Jeffrey Chodorow brings his quasi-samurai-themed temple of excess to Kobe Beach Club in the former Flirt space, which is now white-tiled, dramatically sky-lit, and complete with those signature hanging swords that so exhilaratingly threaten to drop down to slice and dice a host of ephemeral celebs. The restaurant shares terra firma and a, um, helicopter pad with glammy nightclub Lily Pond, so the fabulosity with hover incessantly at near lethal levels. Meaty!

Was there over the weekend...skip the food and head for Lilly Pond...exorbitantly expensive, even by Hamptons standards, and over cooked food. The oysters were sub par, the sides were over cooked, and the steak, supposed to be the main attraction, was over cooked. Servers were fantastic, as was the manager, but for the price, the food should follow suite.
