DUGGAN'S REEF
Reef Beach, Route 82, East End

Moderate-expensive
Duggan's has an informal setting on Reef Beach, but its
menu is eclectic and, at dinner, quite upscale. The open-air
terrace restaurant, which overlooks Buck Island, serves
soups, salads and sandwiches, plus quiche and crêpes at
lunch. Dinner is more formal (attire is casual but chic), with
such openers as conch tempura, beef teriyaki on a skewer
and ceviche, which is raw conch, local fish and squid
“cooked” in lime juice (delicious). Main courses include the
catch of the day (if there is one) prepared in five different
ways, rack of lamb, pastas and curries.
