"Glad to see the Old Stove back in the game. Highs: Good beef, properly cooked to order; Excellent, attentive and accurate service; reasonable prices (especially for the Hamptons); good brussel sprouts. A matter of taste: the live music. The volume was energetic , but not so loud that it made conversation impossible. The performers were good. Lows: the recorded music, which followed the live performance, was a couple of mediocre covers (My Way, Careless Whispers, an Adele song but not sung by Adele) on what seemed to be endless loop, so we heard the same covers of already overplayed songs over and over. The Greek salad was just okay, not close to the level of the beef. The french fries were meh, at best. The oysters were very inexpensive, but also just okay much better oysters are a regular feature at East End restaurants, albeit at higher prices The OSP has the benefit of a legacy, but it also carries the burden of that legacy. The steaks at the Old Stove in the old days (1990s, say) were spectacular the best in the Hamptons by far and the handful of other dishes were terrific. They didn 't do many things, but they did what they did at an extremely high level and very consistently. And, of course, there was Coula. Overall, I 'd give the new iteration of the Old Stove a 4.2 or so. I 'm glad to have them back, I think they can raise their game and I look forward to returning."
