Three Dining Experiences... One Culinary Vision.
private dining & events
Host your next celebration at FĒNIKS and captivate your guests with one of the most distinctive dining experiences in the Hamptons.
More than just a restaurant, FĒNIKS offers a fully immersive dining and lounge experience. A soaring dining room anchors the space, while the intimate Chef's Counter provides a direct connection to the heart of the kitchen. Sitting above it all, the "floating" lounge offers a luxurious perch to prepare for the evening, share cocktails and small bites, or wind down at the end of your night!
Perhaps the most expressive and “thorough” of the FĒNIKS experiences, the six-seat Chef’s Counter represents not only Chef Gulija’s culinary artistry, but the variety and expansiveness of his talents. Prepare for an eight-course, prix fixe tasting menu to give you an eight-chapter glimpse inside the novel that is his mind. At the Counter, you are face-to-face with the chef himself… literally an arm’s length away! It’s a unique experience that allows you to watch the Chef at work while you peer straight into the elegant open kitchen and the controlled mayhem. Wine/beverage pairings also available to complement the culinary roller coaster ride!
dining room
The FĒNIKS Dining Room is small enough to be quite intimate, but also part of the more expansive space in general with not only views into the open kitchen but also peeks through the open ceiling to the Lounge space above! Featuring an à la carte menu, Chef Gulija’s commitment to local products, seasonality, eclectic finds and unique combinations continues here. Pulling inspirations from the Chef’s Counter menu, some of his classic dishes from The Plaza Café, and a slew of new ideas and constructions that run through the Chef’s head every day, the Dining Room is ideal for date night, meeting up with friends, or just a perfect end to your evening!
Come visit us anytime after 5 pm (closed Tuesday's)
No reservations necessary.
SKIP’S Lounge is the upstairs lounge at FĒNIKS. If a members’ club, a speakeasy and your own living room all had a baby together, that is the lounge. Hand-crafted cocktails unique to FĒNIKS are inventive, complexly simple, and bold with a twist of sarcasm! Our in-house mixologist has not only created teasers of the taste buds, but also fun, creative presentations and pairings. (The bar can also make a mean martini if you’re in the mood for something more traditional, or an original and unexpectedly delicious zero-proof cocktail!). On the food menu, Chef’s Gulija’s small plates are part upscale and playful versions of some of your pub and food truck faves, and part new and clever creations for classy nibbles. Whatever you're up for, they're perfect for sharing, “Five o’clock Somewhere”, Pre-dinner or late nights!
