Goodbye, Highway

East Hampton’s Highway restaurant and bar will close following dinner service on Sept. 7, after more than 10 years at 290 Montauk Highway. Until then it will serve dinner Wednesday through Monday, starting at 5.

The property has been for sale for several years and no lease extension was offered, according to Highway’s public relations firm, WordHampton. “The team had hoped to continue welcoming guests at the location for years to come and has made significant investments in the care and improvement of the property throughout its tenancy,” according to the WordHampton announcement.

“While this chapter at 290 Montauk Highway is coming to a close, it is not the end for Highway Restaurant. Stay tuned for what comes next,” the management team said in the release.
