Hamptons@Manhattan Beach ★★★

Delicious Seafood by the Beach Area. Went here w/ a Groupon. The beer flight is such a steal, you can to taste 4 beers for only $8. I had the waitress pick some nice & sweet ones for me. They turned out really good. For the Amagansett Lobster Roll, you get to pick to have it served hot (butter) or cold (mayo). I had it cold, but I think served hot will be much better than cold. Well, next time!
