    Food Calamari - 7/10 ok so it was crispy and tasty but we got Mediterranean which they said was garlic Parmesan but it simply was plain calamari with banana peppers, honestly would've rated higher but we found a hair in it at the end Chicken sandiwch 6/10 meh no sauce kinda dry Fries SO GOOD 10/10 Hamburger - 6/10 bun was good cheese was good and burger was juicy but wasn't medium rare like ordered and lacked flavored straight ground beef no seasoning Wait staff- so sweet and very attentive!! Fill up water quick too Drinks Spicy marg- 6/10 a little too spicy and could've been stronger - appearance was pretty basic Ambiance is rlly what made it good because it's quiet everything else was so loud and we honestly just had a good time

    Run. Don't walk, to try whatever special The Albatross in Ocean Beach has to offer. My gf and I just had the pleasure of sitting with Jack at the bar. Between the food, the ambiance, and the attentive staff, we will be regulars from here on out. Can't wait to visit again!! (Remember, DONT SWING THE LIGHTS )

    Great food for reasonable prices! Kids loved their food and ate all of it after a long and fun beach day. Best part is that for $10 for the kids their meals came with ice cream. Clam chowder was spot on, and fish tacos were fantastic!

    Disgusting. Honestly.

    People probably love this place, I'm not one of them unfortunately. It takes a lot for me to be grossed out, a lot. I am willing to try anything food wise, if I don't like it, I'll check it off my list, no big deal. However the steamed clams we were served yesterday afternoon almost made me hurl, I've never been so disgusted by anything served to me in a restaurant. We were undecided about where to go for lunch, mostly because there really is not one solid, consistent, guaranteed always good restaurant in Fire Island. I had been to Albatross before years ago so when we saw shrimp cocktail on their specials board we decided this was the spot. It was around 1:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday and there were only two other tables occupied outside on their patio and some people enjoying Sunday Funday at the bar. Their patio is nice because you can people watch the town but you dont have a water view. It is also a nice spot to be at if you're waiting to catch the next Ferry as you're able to see the line start to form from right outside of the restaurant. They had a $10 shrimp cocktail special and a $15 steamed clams special. Our server was great, young girl who was attentive and friendly. We inquired about how many shrimp came with the shrimp cocktail and there were only 3 so we asked for 2 orders of shrimp cocktail, an order of steamed clams and I also added in a LARGE mixed greens salad. Large being capitalized with a purpose. The steamed clams came out and I wanted to hurl. They came out covered in dirty with the rubbery tails still attached. I do not have a queasy stomach, like I said earlier, I'll try anything but these were disgusting. Clearly being that they were a special, the people in the back weren't doing anything sanitary in regards to prep work. These clams were tossed in a bowl and served. I can't get the vision of the filthy rubber tails out of my mind. Shrimp cocktail came out shortly after. Three shrimp, nothing special about them, not bad, not great. Just standard shrimp with poop veins still in them, again, a special so no prep work done to make them more appealing for customers. Next came the larged mixed green salad, which was laughable. This was a side salad portion at best. I ate it in four bites. For $10, advertised as a large salad, it was definitely something I wish I hadn't ordered. Adding chicken or another protein would have jacked the price up to $18 and I'm telling you right now if that salad was brought to me with a 4 ounce portion of grilled chicken for $18 I would have said no way. The onion on top was slimy and past it's use by date. Sigh. We got two bud lights, two white claws, the only flavor they had was black cherry, two orders of shrimp cocktail, steamed clams and a mixed green salad. It was the fastest $86 I have ever spent and not worth the money at all. I would have much rather go to the deli next door and ordered sandwiches to bring with us on the ferry home for $20. I will skip this place next time, for sure.

    Clam Chowder

    Service was just OK, took a while to get our food and our appetizer was missed altogether and we got it after our entrees but the food was very yummy! The clam chowder alone was fantastic and then the fish tacos were awesome and had a great balance of flavor! Also don't skip the rocket fuel, it's a fire island staple and delicious if you love a good pina colada!

    Another phenomenal experience dining here!!! The portions are out of this world. Came here between…read morelunch and dinner and decided on the dinner menu. I had a caesar salad with lobster which was so delicious. The lobster was already shelled out so no need to worry about cracking lobster! Tasted so fresh and hit the spot. My husband got a burger and fries and no complaints there. Me and my daughter tried the fries and they were so good. My daughter inhaled her fried calamari either the cocktail sauce. Nice presentation too. I got an Arnold palmer and it was pinkish due to the pink lemonade. I am not a fan of their pink lemonade and feel regular lemonade would taste fresher and better. The service here was so on point again. Please give your Tinker Bell waitress a raise she was so great with us! I don't know her name but she was adorable and very accommodating to our table. Explained what they were out of and knew the dish well when I asked if the eggplant with the penne alla vodka was breaded. It was breaded by the way and eas delicious. It was nicely cut thin and came with this sourdough bread that was toasted and spiced so good. Not sure what the spice was but it was a warm toasty flavor. I noticed the waitress was doing a lot of work the restaurant was pretty full and she was the only waitress we saw there. Excellent job she does keeping up. If I could have left her a bigger tip I would have. I think the restaurant needs at least another waiter or waitress because of how crowded it can get. I would dine here again if I am on the island again. It's great for families and get togethers!

    Had cocktails here. The bartender 'Jonathan' was super polite and helpful. We went back for a meal…read moresince the menu looked amazing but they were out of a lot of the menu items. Food was okay but expected more. Maybe we caught an off time but would try again since it had a good vibe and location.
