There are only a handful of places to dock and dine on the East End, and the former Le Fin space on the water is one of them. Dane Sayles and Piero Zangarini are at it again here with an emphasis on daytime dining, though they will serve until 11 p.m. Among the dishes are Dungeness crab ravioli with Romagna sausage ragu and a daily selection of simply grilled local whole fish.

John Fraser began this venture in Boston and decided to roll it out, starting with a pop-up truck for the season, in the picnic area of the North Fork Table and Inn, where he has his restaurant. The burger will have onions melted in beef tallow, with American cheese and tomato on a toasted potato bun, as well as a pepper bacon option. There will also be hot and cold lobster rolls.“The plan is to scale the brand and there will likely be pop-ups inside our restaurants in New York City, as well as a standalone,’’ says Fraser.

Kyle Sanderson, who owns Sag Harbor’s Grindstone Coffee and happens to be Michael Symon’s stepson, unveils a spot next door with simple beef sliders, White-Castle style. “There will be no vegan options,’’ he insists, but there will be fries and shakes.

The famed pub bistro, owned by the Nick and Toni’s group called Honest Man, is not gone, just relocated to Amagansett. Ir will still serve such favorites as the Rowdy burger, fish and chips, and French onion soup, along with new dishes including charcuterie boards and a raw bar.

Rowdy Hall.

Former Wall Street exec Adam Goldberg is bringing his doughy juggernaut to Amagansett this summer, turning out the fresh-from-the-oven, small-batch treats that draw lines in locations around the city. All baked on site, they have a crispy crust and airy center, and come in plain, sesame, salt, poppy, and everything. Of course, small batches come with a downside. “We open ordering at noon on Sundays for the following weekend, and sell out within a couple of minutes,’’ says Goldberg.

John Meadow has taken over the sweet, historic hotel that sits across from East Hampton’s pond, and starting mid-June, he is bringing to its restaurant, La Dolce Vita, an Italian concept, similar to his Scarpetta Beach at Gurney’s.

Spicy rigatoni alla vodka; creamy burrata with farm stand tomatoes; lobster pomodoro over paccheri with fresh cherry tomatoes; and chicken Parm make the trip east, and he plans to keep the bar open until late night, with plenty of his signature limoncello spritz to go around.
