The Backyard

Out of the way and away from the scene. Restaurant and lounge behind Solé East offers some sort of alternate-reality boho-chic Montauk: A roadside inn, where the the bubbly spills. Besides cushy oversize patio chairs to lay out on, a pool to cool off, and a DJ, the food's not bad either. Touches like grill items (seafood and steak) that can be custom mixed and matched with an intriguing array of sauces (from simple gremolata to grilled pinapple coulis) tempt. Of late, though, the party's the thing, with the social-set traipsing through and mixing with the weekend retreat cless. And if you're really smitten, get a room.
