You won’t find better restaurants on Long Island than on the East End. There’s something for every palate, every preference and every style.

The only problem: Everybody knows about the amazing restaurants, and after Memorial Day, they’re going to be packed! Now is the perfect time to go out for a great meal and not have to worry about whether or not you’re going to have to wait six hours for a table.

Not sure where you want to go? That’s what we’re here for! Dan’s Papers’ Best of the Best competition lets the community choose their favorite restaurants (and much, much more). Here are a few Platinum winners from 2015 we think you might like. Bon appetit!
