    I was starving after hitting the Shoe-Inn end of year sale and realized I still hadn't had a single lobster roll this entire summer, so I headed to Bostwick's to change that asap. I walked in shortly after they opened on a weekday and the place was already packed out. It's a casual, no frills spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I was lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar and was taken care of pretty immediately. I kicked things off with some clams on the half shell, then opted for their warm lobster roll with coleslaw. The clams were huge and extremely fresh. The lobster roll was good, but for the price I feel like they could've packed in some more lobster. I took a new england clam chowder to go, because I was full but couldn't leave a chowder house without trying the chowder, you know? It was definitely flavorful, but I wish it had more clams in it!

    A popular seafood restaurant located just outside of Easthampton on the way to Montauk, Bostwick's is a perfect stop for lunch or dinner. Seating indoors or out, the ambiance is what you'd wish for and more. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the food is everything a seafood lover could wish for, as well as perfectly prepared. Your palate will appreciate what you feed it, for sure. Enjoy!

    Came for dinner and decided to go to this place since it was recommended by a friend. It was pretty crowded for a Thursday night, we waited for 30 mins to get seated. Food was great! Everything was tasty and fresh, yummy! Highly recommend the seafood pasta, great portion and can shared with friends if you want to try different dishes. Quick service, staffs were friendly, will come back again!

    Great, no frills, down home feel, which is hard to come by in the Hamptons these days. Great dining area, plenty of parking, staff were friendly, service was great, food was delicious. Came back several times because it was really good, and the vine was low key and friendly. Will definitely be back when in town again. Oh, and GET THE LOBSTER FRITTERS!! They are outrageously good.

    We walked in on a Friday afternoon for two, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. It's a half hour from the light house museum. They had a lunch special menu. I tried the fried soft shell crab po boy, and my fiancée had the lobster blt. Both were tasty. Fries were perfectly crispy, and the portion was filling. The clam chowder was good but a bit too watery. I prefer a heavier texture. The lily pond lemonade cocktail was also tasty. Our server was very nice and attentive. Service was efficient. I wish it was more sustainable with metal utensils and dishes instead of plastic.

    Bostwicks is a breathe of fresh air in the hamptons. The servers are friendly and down to earth, and the prices are reasonable. Besides the above and beyond service from the bartenders and waitstaff, the food is incredible. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but you should go there for the seafood. We got the oysters, buttered lobster roll, fish tacos, clam chowder, and peanut butter pie for dessert. I don't normally eat oysters, but Bostwicks stuck out to me for their freshness and cleanliness. The wait was over an hour (arrived around 7:20pm on a Saturday), but was well worth it. You can't also grab a drink at the bar or grab a drink and chill outside.

    Great lobster roll and my partner enjoyed his salad. Casual atmosphere ate outside in the warmer weather. Polite & fast service

    Everything was pretty good and flavorful. For a spot out in that area, price was pretty fair. The service was pretty great, no complaints. I did have to use the restroom and it was quite filthy.

    Amazing restaurant for a beach day. Casual vibe, indoor and outdoor seating. Servers were great and food was better.

    Lobster tacos

    Okay, there is a lot of things I really like about this place: a. The food has healthy portions of Lobster - like double to triple what you would expect b. The staff is lovely friendly, and super thoughtful c. Feels like neighborhood cook out vibe - very appropriate Why it didn't get 5 stars: - This place is always crazy packed, with not enough parking and 1 to 2 hour waits. Oh and they don't take reservations Good for: 1. Lobster lovers 2. Small group trips 3. People who don't mind waiting 1 to 2 hours for good food 4. Pretty good prices for Hamptons (still sticker shock) Bad for: 1. Break ups - you will be waiting a while 2. Kids 3. People who like fancy lobster

    Tuna Poke

    Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. So glad we did! Seated right away and service was super friendly. Cute inside - we sat at a high top table near the bar. Two of us got the hot lobster roll and one of us got the tuna poke bowl. Got lobster roll looked small at first but man, it was perfectly filling! Great portions. And the fries were delicious. I love when they are crispy and battered like that. But the tuna poke bowl really impressed me. Great flavors, I honestly may get that next time instead of the lobster. Looking forward to coming back.

    Seafood Pasta Fish and Chips

    Busy local hot spot we checked out while on vacation in montauk. -- and it was absolutely worth the wait! They don't take reservations, but the friendly host and attentive waitstaff made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We started with the lobster fritters, which were perfectly crisp and tasted incredibly fresh. For our main courses, we had the fish & chips made with locally sourced fish from Block Island, and the seafood pasta -- which was amazing. It was loaded with generous pieces of lobster, scallops, and shrimp throughout (not just sprinkled on top!). To finish, we shared the homemade chocolate peanut butter pie, the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal.

    Delicious lobster roll and tuna poke, super fresh. Our waitress was friendly and service was great even though they were packed. Overall ambiance was nice too, we were seated by the windows. Would come back if I'm in the area again.

    5/5 "Hidden Gem on the Way to Montauk!"…read more Every time we head out to Montauk, our first stop--without question--is always Tutto Caffè in East Hampton. It's one of those rare places that instantly feels like a part of your tradition, even after just one visit. Tucked away from the more obvious main spots, this café truly feels like a hidden gem that more people should know about (but selfishly, we almost want to keep it to ourselves). The ambiance is simple yet elegant--cozy, welcoming, with a laid-back Hamptons charm. You can tell there's thought behind everything, from the perfectly brewed coffee to the friendly and attentive staff. It's the kind of place where you can sit outside and relax in the morning sun, or tuck into a warm corner and recharge before continuing your journey. We usually come for breakfast, and this time we ordered the avocado toast and sunny side up eggs. Both were absolutely delicious--fresh, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. The only thing we noticed is that the portions are on the smaller side. Not a dealbreaker at all, especially considering the quality, but we do wish they were just a little more generous, especially after a long drive. One suggestion: it would be amazing to see an Eggs Benedict option on the menu one day. A classic like that would be a perfect fit here, and we'd be the first to order it! Overall, Tutto Caffè continues to be one of our favorite stops along the way to Montauk. Great coffee, great food, great people--and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommended!

    Very clean, loaded with ambiance. Coffee was a bit pricey and not the best I've ever had but it was…read morepassable and worth it for the outdoor seating and the opportunity to soak in the sun
