There’s a quiet luxury to dining by the water. The kind of setting where the food tastes better, the drinks go down easier, and the conversation lingers just a little longer. That’s the ethos behind The Whale’s Tale, now anchoring itself firmly in the Hamptons.
After earning cult status in Northport for its unpretentious charm and flavor-forward menu, The Whale’s Tale has expanded east, unveiling a polished-yet-playful seaside escape that redefines casual coastal dining. Helmed by industry tastemaker Sosh Andriano and TV personality Brian Autz, this new location blends polished hospitality with barefoot ease, just steps from the marina and a stone’s throw from the beach.
Designed to flow seamlessly from daytime bites to nighttime cocktails, the space features a modern indoor dining room, a sun-washed outdoor deck, and a beach shack that delivers craft beer and small-batch ice cream straight into sandy hands.
The menu is a masterclass in balance celebrating Andriano’s Hawaiian roots while honoring East End seafood traditions. Think vibrant acai bowls, loaded lobster rolls, freshly shucked oysters, and grilled fish tacos with a squeeze of lime. The vibe? Equal parts beach bar and boutique restaurant, where firepits crackle at sunset and the playlist never misses.
This marks Andriano’s seventh culinary concept and further cements his reputation as a hospitality visionary. A driving force during the pandemic’s outdoor dining evolution, he’s built a legacy on spaces that invite people to slow down, savor, and stay awhile.
From Summer House cameos to curated events and podcast tapings, The Whale’s Tale Hamptons is more than a restaurant, it’s a new chapter in the East End’s social calendar.
“We wanted to create a space that feels like a vacation, even for locals,” says Andriano. “It’s not just about the food—it’s about the feeling you leave with.”
