A number of East End eateries are offering prix fixe deals this week as part of Long Island Restaurant Week, which continues through Sunday. On the South Fork, participating restaurants include Page at 63 Main, Wolffer Kitchen, and Lulu Kitchen and Bar in Sag Harbor, Le Charlot in Southampton, and Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton. They are offering a $28.95 three-course meal, with supplemental charges for certain dishes, all night tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday and until 6:30 on Saturday. 

Those willing to venture farther afield for the deal will find it at restaurants in Riverhead, Hampton Bays, and on the North Fork, including such spots as the well-reviewed North Fork Table and Inn in Southold and the Halyard at the Sound View motel in Greenport, overlooking the Long Island Sound. Reservations are a must and can be made directly through the restaurants or at opentable.com. 

 

Far East Flavors

The Asian specialty menu returns to the Highway Restaurant and Bar in East Hampton tonight. The three-course prix fixe menu is $39 per person and features a green mango and papaya salad, a chicken and cashew nuts entree, and coconut sorbet for dessert. A la carte options include a main course of beef short rib with house-made kimchi and shareable dishes like crispy Long Island duck with hoisin sauce and moo shu pancakes.

 

Super Bowl Celebrations

Now that the teams are set for the Super Bowl on Feb. 4, Sam’s Beverage Place in East Hampton is taking 25 percent off all football-theme party accessories such as napkins, cups, and plates. 

Indian Wells Tavern in Amagansett will be serving up a complimentary buffet during Super Bowl halftime. Drink specials will include $5 pints of tap beer and $6 well cocktails. The restaurant will also be offering giveaways with a chance to win a flat-screen TV, beach chairs, T-shirts, and $50 gift certificates to Indian Wells Tavern, Bostwick’s Chowder House, and Fierro’s Pizzeria. The event begins at 6 p.m. and the first 50 people through the door will receive a goody bag.  

Also on Super Bowl Sunday, diners at the Springs Tavern on Fort Pond Boulevard will receive a raffle ticket for each food or drink item purchased — prizes will be awarded at the end of each quarter. The restaurant will offer discounts on food and drinks.

 

O’Murphy’s Specials

O’Murphy’s Restaurant and Pub in Montauk is offering $24.95 dinner specials Sundays through Thursdays (the restaurant is closed Tuesdays). The price includes the soup of the day, a salad, and an entree, plus coffee and dessert.  

 

Draw and Dine

The latest A Night Out With event — a partnership between the Golden Eagle Studio and Nick and Toni’s restaurant in East Hampton — will take place on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with a two-hour drawing class (working with a live, fully-clothed model) led by Linda Capello, a figurative artist. The workshop will be followed by a two-course dinner at the restaurant, which is next door. The price is $75 and includes the class, any necessary supplies, plus dinner, tax, and tip. 

 

Valentine’s Day

The 1770 House in East Hampton will offer a four-course prix-fixe tasting menu on Valentine’s Day. The dinner — featuring entree options such as sea scallops with mushroom and truffle broth and roasted rack of lamb — is priced at $85 per person, excluding beverages, tax, and gratuity. Service will began at 5:30 p.m.
