Black-Eyed Susan’s

There’s still no easy way of getting into this island favorite—reservations are accepted only for the 6 p.m. dinner seating—but locals and longtime visitors have accepted the fact that lining up in front of the unassuming restaurant is part of the experience. Opened in 1992 by chef Jeff Worster and Susan Handy, the restaurant has a small dining room with white-washed walls and green copper chandeliers. The hearty breakfast, served until 1 p.m., is popular; arrive early and be prepared to wait.

Le Languedoc

The last time I visited this French staple was the week before Memorial Day, but it was already packed with locals and summer visitors who were warmly greeted by the staff and who were catching up on island gossip. There’s a formal dining room upstairs, but follow the locals’ lead and go for a table at the bistro downstairs. (You can call after 10 a.m. the day you want to dine there and reserve for either 5:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m.; for a late Gallic seating, you cannot make an advance booking.) There are just seven tables, covered in blue-and-white-checked tablecloths, and the menu includes such haute-brasserie favorites as sweetbreads, filet of sole, rib eye and lobster. Those waiting for a table can have a glass of wine at the zinc-clad bar.
