Le Bilboquet refuses to shelter people caught in 80mph storm because they don’t have reservations

During a violent thunderstorm in Sag Harbor on July 4, which brought 80 mph winds, the French bistro Le Bilboquet reportedly refused to shelter people without reservations. A source told Page Six that emergency alerts went off, and people were running and screaming, but the restaurant turned them away, asking if they had a reservation. Another source described umbrellas and dishes falling, injuring several people. The restaurant's owner, Philippe Delgrange, said they moved everyone from the deck indoors and managed the crowd as best they could. Meanwhile, at Calissa in Southampton, 100 people stayed to see Sam Ronson play despite the storm ripping apart fencing and felling a tree. Some New Yorkers cut their Hamptons trips short due to power outages and suspended train service.
