The Best Coastal Steakhouse Experience
What began as a boutique butcher shop for locals seeking exceptional cuts and chef-driven prepared foods soon evolved into NICHOLSON MUIR—a high-end yet unassuming steakhouse that holds the distinction of a MICHELIN Guide 2025 Recommended restaurant.
Founded by Chef James Muir, a meat and asado specialist with more than a decade catering Argentine open-fire feasts across the Hamptons and New York City, the restaurant blends Mediterranean influence, American seasonality and Argentine technique.
Guests may dine à la carte or explore two tasting journeys: the immersive 15-course Omakase or the nine-course “Not-So-Petit” experience. USDA Prime, Mishima American Wagyu, dry-aged selections, handmade pasta, raw preparations and small thoughtful plates shape a menu appealing to discerning surf and turf connoisseurs alike. Chef James curates his meat selections from various purveyors, sampling their quality with his own offerings’ high standards. “I personally conduct my own taste tests daily for lunch, consuming over a pound of beef to find those worthy of our menu,” he boasts.
Nicholson Muir offers a 4–5 p.m. Prix Fixe, a three-course dinner priced at $45 with an optional $15 wine supplement, providing options for an earlier, elegant “Pre-Theater” meal.
The menu constantly evolves, bringing back guest favorites and new ingredients.
The bar features 007-inspired Author Cocktails and a wine program emphasizing Argentine producers, European classics and limited-allocation bottlings.
Whether dining on the breezy terrace, indoors surrounded by towering windows with a view, or lounging with cocktails around the wood-burning fireplace, an evening spent at Nicholson Muir promises to be extraordinary.
