Chef Douglas Gulija
For over 28 years, Chef Douglas Gulija led one of the most acclaimed kitchens in the Hamptons at the beloved Plaza Café. With FĒNIKS, he is penning a bold new chapter in his culinary story - one that brings his signature style to a seasonally inspired, modern menu. Rooted in local, sustainable sourcing and driven by innovation, Gulija's cuisine bridges timeless tradition with a fresh, forward-thinking approach to coastal dining.
THE DINING ROOM
A expression of refined dining, the Main Dining Room offers an intimate à la carte experience shaped by seasonality, precision, and graceful, attentive service. Each evening unfolds at a measured pace where conversation, flavor, and atmosphere move in harmony inviting guests to settle in and experience dining as both ritual and pleasure.
Reservations are encouraged to maintain the integrity of the experience.
CHEFS COUNTER
At the counter, the boundary between kitchen and guest dissolves. What follows is not simply a meal, but an eight-movement narrative composed of flavor, memory, and craft.
Each course reflects Chef Douglas Gulija's life translated into texture, temperature, and taste. Moments of fire and stillness unfold in sequence, like acts in a theatre, each dish reveals a fragment of a larger story.
Seated before the open kitchen, guests are drawn into the rhythm of creation itself: the choreography of hands, flame, and time.
A curated wine pairing may accompany the experience, echoing and elevating the journey.
Reservations are required and can be arranged by emailing xavier@feniks.com or calling 631-283-9323.
Skip's lounge
Skips Lounge offers a different tempo: lighter, more fluid, yet no less deliberate.
Here, the experience leans toward spontaneity. A collection of shareable plates, composed with the same care as our dining room, meets a menu of cocktails that are both expressive and precise.
It is a space for gathering and release where the formality softens, and the evening takes on a more playful rhythm.
No reservations are required; the door remains open to the moment.
