Lion’s Nook To Host Hamptons International Film Festival Morning Talks

Lion's Nook Bar & Grill is now open in the heart of East Hampton Village, welcoming guests to its beautifully reimagined space at 10 Main Street in the Parrish Mews. The newest venture from Parioli Hospitality, the team behind the beloved Springs Tavern & Grill, offers a refined yet approachable dining experience rooted in exceptional hospitality, seasonal American cuisine, and a warm neighborhood atmosphere.Paying tribute to Lion Gardiner, one of East Hampton's earliest English settlers, Lion's Nook also honors the rich history of the location, formerly home to O'Malley's and Rowdy Hall. The thoughtfully renovated restaurant blends the timeless charm of a classic English pub with a fresh, sophisticated aesthetic, creating a welcoming gathering place for both locals and visitors.The restaurant is led by Alex Rossi, founder of Springs Tavern & Grill and son of acclaimed restaurateur Rubrio Rossi, in partnership with Gary Fuhrman, a longtime East Hampton Village resident and entrepreneur. The leadership team also includes General Manager Raul Rodas and Executive Chef Fabian Rodas, both of whom helped establish Springs Tavern & Grill as a favorite East End destination."Over the past four years, we've been incredibly well received by the Springs community and beyond," said Rossi. "Gary and I felt it was the right time to bring something new to the Village. We wanted to create a place where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals, thoughtful service, and an inviting atmosphere while honoring the history of this iconic location. Our goal is for Lion's Nook to become a place people return to again and again."Lion's Nook's menu showcases elevated American cuisine featuring locally sourced seafood, premium meats, and seasonal produce, alongside beloved tavern classics including its signature burger.
