I love it when worlds collide. There was a chef in Barcelona that we missed, he's now got a new venture in NYC. But another Spanish chef that trained under this three-Michelin starred chef in Barcelona now has a spot at The Hampton Maid in Hampton Bays.

With a noteworthy tasting menu that was mentioned in Gotham Magazine, I made a booking and was at the restaurant and introducing myself to Chef Alex Bujoreanu within two weeks of learning of the existence of this restaurant.

Let's just say this place is special and we will be returning. The chef came around to our table twice while we were dining, he bid his patrons adieu at the end of the evening, and made sure every guest's individual desires were respected.

They also carried a wonderful bottle of Galician Albarino, a crisp white wine from Northern Spain.

A gem of a restaurant. And I'm sure the hotel is just as special, for those looking for an easy getaway from the city.
