The story
Tweed's Restaurant & Buffalo Bar sits at the heart of downtown Riverhead on East Main Street, offering a combination of steakhouse and seafood dining that has earned it a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. That recognition speaks to a wine program curated with genuine care — the kind of list that complements both a well-marbled cut and the freshest catch from the surrounding waters of Long Island's East End.
The Buffalo Bar side of the house adds a distinct character to the space, giving Tweed's a dual identity that suits both a relaxed lunch and a more deliberate dinner. Whether you're settling in for a seafood plate or a classic steakhouse entrée, the atmosphere balances comfort with a sense of occasion — the sort of place where locals return regularly and visitors feel immediately at ease.
Long Island's position between the Sound and the Atlantic makes it natural territory for serious seafood, and Tweed's leans into that geography alongside its steakhouse roots. The Wine Spectator-recognized cellar ties the two together, offering bottles that hold their own against bold flavors from the grill or the delicate salinity of fresh seafood. For lunch or dinner in Riverhead, Tweed's delivers a reliable, well-rounded table.
