Silver's - Southampton

After we were ignored for 10 minutes while standing by the door, a waitress finally gestured towards a small table nestled between two others and told us to sit there. My $28 burger arrived burnt and dry on the outside, cold and raw in the middle. When I mentioned this to the waiter, I was rudely informed that this was how I had ordered it. After a heated argument with the waiter, he angrily snatched my plate and sarcastically remarked, "I hope the next one will be good enough for you." The replacement burger that came back was even more burnt, almost to a crisp. It seemed like they had just cooked the same burger for an additional 10 minutes. This was hands down the worst burger I have ever had. To add insult to injury, they charged an additional $5 for a slice of cheese, making my inedible burnt creation cost $32. It was so overcooked that I couldn't even eat it. However, the worst part was the disrespectful attitude we received throughout our $93 lunch (burger, soup, and two glasses of wine). Overall, extremely disappointing! My advice: steer clear of this place at all costs!

I have been dining at Silver's since I was 18 years old, back when I was a student at Southampton College. Now, at 49 years old, I still frequent this restaurant. Back then, Garrett's grandfather was in charge and the place looked completely different. Gone are the days of cigars and magazine racks in the entrance. My friends and I used to visit just for their famous clam chowder, which had a hint of tarragon that I had grown to love. Despite the occasional sand grains, it was a delightful experience that we would save up for by working at nearby restaurants like Driver's Seat or Lobster Inn. Silver's was a place of flavored sodas, salads, soups, and an atmosphere filled with beautiful people. I remember they used to showcase famous diners on the wall, like Truman Capote or Woody Allen. Although those days may be long gone, I still rate Silver's an 11 out of 10. What really impresses me is when Chef Garrett, the grandson of the original owner, personally brings out the lobster bisque to my table. Even dining alone now, it feels like he may still remember me from all those years ago. It's a nostalgic and special experience that I cherish.
