Dining on the waterfront: 3 picks

A water view highlights dining out at many Long Island restaurants. Here are three where you'll find it -- and eat well too.

Three Mile Harbor glistens at sunset and sometimes all day. East Hampton Point provides the perch, plus tuna crudo, a local seafood stew, day-boat halibut, and strip steak with heirloom tomatoes.

Look onto Great South Bay while relishing the lobster roll, lobster macaroni-and-cheese, linguine with white or red clam sauce, fish-and-chips, fried calamari and the raw bar.

You're across the street from the beach at La Plage, where the cuisine takes in English pea-and-mint ravioli, duck confit with chive risotto, achiote-grilled swordfish, and crème brûlée with berries.
