New Owners, Menu and Decor at Springs Tavern and Grill

Springs Tavern and Grill (15 Fort Pond Blvd, East Hampton, NY 11937, 631-604-6944, www.springstavernandgrill.com) has a new name, new ownership, and a new life and will open for the season on Friday, July 1. The new regime is spearheaded by Alex Rossi who resides in Springs with his family and grew up in the restaurant business in New York City – his father Rubrio Rossi owned the highly acclaimed Parioli Romanissimo on the Upper East Side. Rossi envisions a year-round eatery with affordable prices and a welcoming atmosphere. Look for a revamped ambience in the completely renovated interior and a beachy and inviting upgraded outdoor dining area and lounge. Rossi has partnered with Raul Rodas, a veteran professional of such East End restaurants as Indian Wells Tavern, 1770 House and Coche Comedor, who will manage the day-to-day operations. Chef Fabian Rodas will be the helm. The menu will feature starters, salads, mains and Tavern favorites, along with a delicious grilled selection where diners can pick a protein a side to enjoy.  As a treat, Springs Tavern and Grill will also have some classic Parioli dishes for diners to savor.
