Rowdy Hall
10 Main Street East Hampton, New York
The Citarella branch in East Hampton closes at 7:00pm, and we had missed this deadline for buying dinner by 15 minutes. Always wanted to try this restaurant tucked away in the alley near the movie house, and now we had our chance. It was surprisingly crowded for this Friday night in early March, but we managed to get seated immediately. The crowd was local and lacked the summer East Hampton vibe. Rowdy Hall is a restaurant trying to be a pub. The lighting is a shade too bright, and although this would never be a romantic getaway, Rowdy Hall could dabble in the 'cozy' world by just lowering the dimmer.
To start, Ed had a 'black and blue' beer which is a layered concoction of a dark Guinness on the top and a light Belgian lemon-flavored beer below it. I always encourage Ed to order fish & chips when it is on the menu since I can try the fries and not have to order an entire portion that I could not resist. This scrumptious super size entree was presented in a newspaper that was shaped like a boat and designed to sop up the extra oil from the fish and chips. My interesting and tasty vegetarian entree of grilled acorn squash and spinach was covered with crumbly feta cheese and toasted pine nuts. Rowdy Hall's big surprise was near perfect warm rolls. Rowdy Hall is a casual, well priced option that is worth a another look. However, Rowdy Hall might consider adding more entree salads and increasing the selection of burgers which seems to be the go-to favorite here.
