256 Elm Street

Southampton, NY

The East End hotspot, an A-list celebrity and socialite favorite, has made its debut back into the social and dining scene that the Hamptons is known for. Owners Ian Duke, of Prohibition fame (Upper West Side, NYC) and David Hilty revitalized the space and created something bigger, better and new.

REDEUX means remix, and that is just what the new Hamptons eatery is about. With new owners, a new menu, new chef Frank Coe, and a new décor, the nighttime haunt is creating quite a stir and taking the East End scene by storm. The chicly decorated restaurant will serve up Asian Fusion fare, complimented by a sultry environment comprised of Chinese lanterns, dark mahogany hardwood floors and cozy banquettes. The bars (one inside bar and two outside) are a sexy setting for sipping summertime cocktails.

Foodies will indulge in a creative menu that blends Asian cuisine with modern flair (sure-to-be-signature-favorites include, Tuna Ching Chong Chew, Szechuan Seared Rib Eye Steak and Tamarind Glazed Spare Ribs) and an exclusive cocktail list of infused spirits and fresh fruits like the Madame’s Frozen Cosmo, Coconut Caprioska and the Pink Orchid.
