Calissa Hamptons

Calissa Hamptons channels the breezy glamour of Mykonos with a Hamptons twist, drawing a summer crowd that’s equal parts local and city escapee. The atmosphere is a study in contrasts—whitewashed walls and rustic wood set the stage for lively weekend nights, when the air hums with the sound of live Greek music and laughter spills out onto the patio. The wine list is famously deep, especially if you’re partial to rosé, and the bar has a knack for Mediterranean-inspired cocktails that hit just right after a long beach day. The kitchen leans into seafood—think salt-baked branzino and mezze platters layered with flavors that evoke sun-drenched coastlines. At its best, Calissa is a place for gathering: big family tables spill over with shared plates, while friends toast birthdays in the flicker of candlelight. Some find the Hamptons price tags steep and the service uneven during peak times, but there’s no denying the communal energy when the room is in full swing. Here, Greek hospitality meets East End style—it’s where you go when you want to feel transported, without ever leaving Water Mill.
