Greenport’s Summer Table Is Set: ZErdem Opens for the Season

A Mediterranean Dining Destination Arrives in the Heart of Greenport

ZErdem, the Mediterranean restaurant from the team behind ZEY Hotel, is now open for the summer season, bringing fresh coastal flavor to Greenport just as East End weekends, ferry-hopping itineraries and long North Fork evenings by the water begin.

Located in the heart of one of the East End’s most atmospheric port towns, ZErdem offers a stylish and relaxed dining experience rooted in Mediterranean flavor. With fresh seafood, kebabs, spreads, salads and summer-ready entrées, the restaurant is positioned as a natural destination for hotel guests, day-trippers and North Fork regulars looking for a memorable seasonal meal.

A Prime Setting in One of the East End’s Most Charming Port Towns

Greenport has become one of the East End’s most appealing escapes, known for its walkable Main Street, maritime character, nearby wineries and easy ferry connections to Shelter Island and the Hamptons. Against this backdrop, ZErdem sits at the intersection of location and timing, offering guests a place to gather, dine and enjoy the rhythm of summer on the North Fork.

For guests staying at ZEY Hotel, visitors arriving from the South Fork or locals seeking a new dinner destination, ZErdem brings together the ease of boutique hospitality with the energy of a lively village restaurant.

Mediterranean Flavors Made for Sharing

The menu is rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, with a wide selection of shareable spreads including hummus, muhammara, tzatziki, Pink Sultan, carrot tarator and eggplant with tomato sauce. Appetizers continue the coastal theme with beef carpaccio, salmon ceviche, grilled Spanish octopus, fried calamari, and zucchini and eggplant chips.

Salads offer lighter summer options, including the ZErdem chopped salad, Mediterranean salad, summer salad, traditional Greek salad and classic romaine Caesar. Together, the starters and salads create a menu designed for relaxed, social dining, whether guests are stopping in for a leisurely lunch, a pre-ferry bite or a full summer dinner.

Fresh Seafood, Kebabs and Summer Entrées

Main courses continue ZErdem’s Mediterranean focus with dishes such as swordfish kebabs, beef fillet shish, chicken shish kebab, beef shashlik kebab, Turkish lamb chops, pistachio-crusted Pacific halibut, grilled branzino, grilled salmon with honey and pomegranate glaze, and spicy shrimp scampi linguine.

The menu also includes Stanley Tucci’s spaghetti alla Nerano, steak, short ribs, rigatoni alla vodka and the ZErdem prime burger. This balance of destination dining and familiar summer favorites makes the restaurant accessible for a wide range of guests, from seafood lovers to those seeking a classic entrée in a polished setting.

Built for the Season

ZErdem’s return gives Greenport a restaurant that feels perfectly suited to summer. Its Mediterranean flavors, village setting and connection to ZEY Hotel’s boutique hospitality world make it a natural gathering place for travelers and locals alike.

The restaurant is open for dinner and also offers what may be one of the best breakfast experiences on the North Fork. Breakfast and lunch are available Thursday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., giving guests the option to enjoy ZErdem throughout the day.

A Broader Greenport Hospitality Experience

For the team behind ZEY Hotel, ZErdem is more than a hotel restaurant. It is part of a broader Greenport hospitality experience designed for guests who want the ease of a boutique stay, the charm of an East End port town and the pleasure of a summer meal that feels both transportive and right at home.

With its fresh seafood, Mediterranean classics, inviting setting and seasonal energy, ZErdem arrives as a timely addition to Greenport’s summer dining scene.
