The Driver's Seat

I stopped by The Driver's Seat last week during a day trip to the Hamptons - which was sadly rained out. Damn. My lunch was a definite highlight of the trip, though.

I had Irma's Fajitas, which were flavorful, with large portions and delicious seasonings. I would say the meal is big enough for two, even three (if you have a tiny but highly expandable human stomach like mine!) to share.

And oh god, the carrot cake. Don't even get me started. Wellll, since you asked...amazing cream cheese frosting, little chunks of walnut & carrot...I have dreams about that freakin' carrot cake. I would go to Southampton again just for that square of dessert goodness.

Minus one star for the slowish service.

I was visiting Southampton from out of state with a relative. We only ordered drinks, the frozen coconut mojito which was excellent. I can't speak for the food but we were promptly serviced by the sweet bartendress (R.R. - thank you!) and we stayed a lot longer than originally planned. The ambiance was relaxed and the place kept clean. The location is prime, a few steps away from Main St. I will go back next time I'm in the area.

Ugh. The food was bland and overpriced. I had the French bean salad and for $18, I literally had a pile of beans with a few artichokes and hearts of palm. Fellow vegetarian and dining companion had some pasta primavera dish for $14 and it too was not worth it. Exceedingly slow service as well.

Should not have have wasted my time or money here.
