Painters’ Restaurant occupies a large space located outside the village of Bellport. The name comes from its collaboration with artists whose work lines the walls. Everyone is encouraged to create art here, as each table is covered in paper and crayons are provided, and frequent theme nights like open mic allow even more artistic participation. Start with the calamari, which comes with a delightfully spicy chipotle sauce, then move on to one of the organic mains, like slow-cooked pulled pork, served with sweet potato fries. Meanwhile, burgers are made from house-ground organic beef. The presentation isn't always congruent with the restaurant’s dedication to aesthetics, but the taste compensates. The dessert menu provides many good options, from the deluxe "Brownie Bomber" to warm apple crumb pie. Be sure to try the banana caramel chocolate chimichanga with its crisp tortilla showcasing the soft, warm filling. Though pricey, Painters’ provides an all-around quirky experience that can’t be found elsewhere in the area.
