No such thing as Red Lobster in Southampton

We are far too snobby to eat at chain establishments!!

J & C were finally reunited this past week, and one of the first snobby meals of course had to be at the #1 rated restaurant in Southampton on tripadvisor.com, which ended up having outrageously expensive things on their menu such as a $38 lobster roll for lunch. However, since we drove allll the way out to  Southampton, we figured we needed to go all out or else we would regret it for the rest of our lives. So that's exactly what we decided to do.

First off, Silver's is located on the main street of Southampton filled with chic shops and delis (you don't see Gap here! Only the obligatory Ralph Lauren and Vineyard Vines retail stores of course)

Thy offered us the best seat in the house facing the window, because we are kind of a big deal :)

Yelp and tripadvisor reviews are never wrong, and everyone said to order the lobster bisque, so J got it for us to share and mopped up the bowl with our complimentary basket of crusty baguette drenched in a pool of olive oil (the bread was surprisingly delicious, at least for the first few bites). We asked for a second basket of plain, un-oiled bread to go with the soup, and J was in carb heaven after that. The lobster bisque had healthy chunks of lobster meat in a creamy base with a very well-rounded and deep / hearty flavor, but was on the salty side in my opinion. 3.5/5 for this one.

Next up was my lobster roll, which was nothing short of amazing. It was stuffed and overflowing with huge, fresh chunks of lobster, lightly dressed in a dab of dressing and sprinkled with a few herbs here and there, letting the true lobster flavor shine through. Absolutely outstanding and worth every $38. The only thing i'd improve on would maybe be a softer or more flavorful bun which kind of paled in comparison to what it was holding. 4.5/5 for the lobster roll and i would possibly consider rounding to 5.

J got the roman sandwich which was grilled tomato, mozzarella and prosciutto in between two crusty pieces of white bread. J seemed to enjoy every last bite and the portion of the ingredients looked extremely generous. Carb heaven once again!

Overall this was one of my favorite meals in the Hamptons! I'm sure we would have bumped into many more people far snobbier than us, but it was still quiet season. J, your turn to post the next meal!
