Restaurant Week is making its spring debut in the always enjoyable East End. From April 8 to April 15, participating restaurants are offering $28.95 three-course prix fixe menus that are too good to pass up. Between seafood, steak and Caribbean fare, the scenic ride is only half the fun.

Nestled on the North Fork, this barn-wood walled chowder house and “oysteria” has a restaurant week seafood spread fit for a king. Appetizers range from Manhattan clam chowder to P.E.I. mussels with Thai red curry, coconut and lime. Entrees are on the hearty side with options like shrimp penne, fish and chips and horseradish crusted cod. For the land lovers: grilled flat iron steak, pan roasted chicken breast and a burger with smoked mozzarella and bacon onion marmalade. And with swimsuit season still a month or two away, diners can splurge on one of the three desserts with ease. Phone: 631-876-5300 | Address: 62300 Main Rd Click to go

CowFish’s sister restaurant, Rumba is all about bringing Caribbean vibes to Long Island. Take the wooden-and-teal decor or the colorful cocktails that locals can’t stop raving about.

The Caribbean blackened mahi is fresh, the island ribeye is tender and the key lime pie—award-winning! Phone: 631-594-3544 | Address: 43 Canoe Place Rd Click to go
