A press release was referred to in a recent The Suffolk Times northforker column that I have re-assembled.
Former Southold General pastry chef Francois Payard is opening the former Caci North Fork building in Southold a new bistro at the site named Southold Social in collaboration with Adam Lovett, the owner/operator of A Lure in Southold and A Mano in Mattituck. The restaurant space, which has been vacant since Caci closed abruptly in 2018, has been recently renovated. Southold General, which is also affiliated with North Fork Table & Inn, used the building for holiday orders last year. The announcement says the new bistro will use local ingredients and embrace the North Fork’s maritime culture and its status as a wine region. The menu will feature housemade pasta (cavatelli with veal ragu), locally sourced meats (brine-cured pork chop, burger au poivre) and seafood (Montauk black sea bass, lobster roll with piment d’espelette, crudo), according to the press release. The beverage program will include local and Old-World wines and will be overseen by Francois Latapie of Little Frog in New York City. The new restaurant will have four dining spaces, according to the press release: a classic dining room; a bar area; a tented outdoor patio and a top floor 38-seat private dining space. They also announced plans to unveil a fire pit in the outdoor patio area this summer.
