Cowfish is worth going for the lovely waterfront ambiance. The staff were friendly. We were accommodated with no problems. I ordered the jumbo Buffalo shrimps. They were jumbo indeed! It comes with three shrimps but I paid $3.50 for an extra shrimp, thinking that it would be too small of a deal. I was wrong! Those shrimps were jumbo. It was a bit too spicy for my tasting. The blackened mahi sandwich was okay. I didn't like the regular buns that came with it. It seemed like a regular sandwich to me. The cole slaw needed salt and black pepper. My friends ordered the market place salmon (worth it for $30 price), the rotisserie (huge portion, moist and delicious), and the mussels (she licked the plate (figuratively)). The drinks did look good. I was too dehydrated from drinking too much earlier, I didn't get to try their drinks. Overall, great vibe. read more

Had a wonderful experience tonite at Cowfish. Food and service cannot be beat. Shout out to my waiter Johnny, chef Dimitro, and manager Ryan. Chef Ryan accommodated my vegan daughter and daughter in law with delicious and inventive vegan dishes. Johnny was so attentive to us making sure he got us everything in the igloo. Manager Ryan was so hospitable. And chef Dimitro made the night with vegan dishes. read more

Total surprise by this place I didn't know anything about. My friend told me it's a good seafood place if I am in this area. I was on my way to Hampton from the city and stopped by. It exceeded my expectations. Not just the flavorful dishes, but the friendly service and the views are exceptional! We started with crispy Brussels & buffalo shrimp. They are excellent. Hard to pick which I liked better. Then we had cod & salmon. Finish with banana cream pie & pecan apple tart. I enjoyed every dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant. Make sure to make a reservation! read more

Bar area is cool with the outside corn hole area. Drinks are good, want to go back and try their food. The atmosphere is what made this place cool and enjoyable. Perfect for a first date or to just grab drinks. The rum boar was super neat too! Staff was nice and friendly read more

3.5 This was such a cute spot on the water for a big birthday dinner! It took a few minutes for our table for 11 to be set up, but we had a nice spot upstairs on the patio. We split some salads and the cornbread (absolutely delicious) as our appetizers, and we all got separate meals for our entree. I thought my salmon over spaghetti squash was cooked well but lacked a lot of flavor. We tried the ceviche, which was new on the menu, and we really did not like it. When we told the server, he was very kind about taking it off our menu and taking our feedback. One low point was that I think there was some miscommunication regarding part of our order, and one of the servers made a bit of a big deal about it, and we had to wait 20 mins for the lobster roll, which we still had to pay for. Overall, I think it was a good experience for the view and the vibe, but I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

Cowfish would've had a beautiful view of the harbor if Hampton Bays had not been completely socked in the night we dined there. After passing children playing on the pirate ship structure outside, we headed inside for our reservation. Service was friendly and swift. For dinner we shared a Skillet Cornbread (honey butter) before our entrees arrived: Danish Baby Back Ribs (house-made BBQ sauce, coleslaw, fries), and a Cowfish Burger (cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, bibb lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, fries). The burger was slightly rarer than requested, but was otherwise solid. The BBQ sauce was delicious, though the coleslaw could've used a bit more pep. The fries were terrific. Overall, seems like a nice spot and since we were there pre-season and the place was relatively full, I imagine it's jampacked during the season. read more

Last visit to cowfish: Went to cowfish for my anniversary dinner. My husband and I come every year and we always have a great experience, but this time was a little different. The dinner and drinks were excellent, but we were not happy with the waitress charging us for extras without our consent. My husband got the veal special which came with lettuce on the side. When my husband asked if he could change the side she said he could substitute it for something else. When we got the bill we saw that the chaged us and extra $12 for a baked potato side. Also, I ordered a steak and the waitress asked if I wanted my steak sauce on side. I had no idea it was $5 extra until I got the bill. Overall, we had a great experience but sadlyI do not think that we will be back. I think it is very dishonest to charge people for things without letting them know it is extra. read more

Best food and atmosphere in the Hamptons. Try the Brussels sprouts and the fish sandwich.

I've always heard nothing but great things about Cowfish, and last night I had the pleasure of witnessing it for my self. I started the evening with twenty rows cabernet and buffalo shrimp= the perfect starter. Followed by a warm delicious corn bread. For my entree I had the rotisserie chicken with Brussels sprout hashed ( phenomenal). For dessert we split the banana cream pie and the delicious sundae. I cannot wait to come back. Beautiful ambience and service. Truly perfection!!! read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. Although it was slightly hard to locate the restaurant off of the main road, the location is stunning both inside and out. The outdoor dining options seemed beautiful and they're family friendly with a small jungle-gym outside. As the group was taking pictures, the hostess held the table until they were done which was very kind. We had no issues with service the whole time. The food was good! Especially the end cookie that came as a part of the birthday celebration! We would gladly come again! read more

You do have to tolerate finding this place and parking valet, but codfish is simply a gem of a destination! The beer selection is a gem and the view is very relaxing (try to get a seat outside). Even amidst a labor shortage, there was a super friendly and caring staff. Oh and yes, the food was fantastic! Even the salad had some additional flair. Warning! Make reservations early, since this place is crazy popular. read more

I haven't been here since it was Indian Cove, a dozen years ago. It's always been a beautiful waterfront restaurant and I like what the owners of Cowfish have done to the place. It feels more upscale and there is a lovely new outdoor bar and lots of nooks for seating outdoors. The upstairs now has a patio overlooking the water. The entire place has a resort feel and good for anyone dining solo, couples and groups. The upstairs area had a private birthday party and everyone looked very happy. The ambience is five stars, waterfront with comfortable bar seating. The wait was 45 minutes for patio seating. They though of everything. The outdoor bar is covered in case of rain, there are hooks under the bar to keep your purse and they offer the same menu as the rest of the restaurant. They also had enjoyable 80s music playing outside. The prices/ value for what you get is very good, 4.5 out of five. My Caribbean rum punch was $15 and strong. My chicken Caesar salad offered fresh salad and rotisserie chicken for $20. I swapped the Caesar for their tasty homemade honey Dijon dressing. My food was a 4 and drink was 4.5. The bartender was charming and friendly providing five star service. This was a lovely experience and I look forward to my next visit. Overall read more

The views. The views. The views. Coming from NYC, I am used to a wait and for the first time in my life, I was upset we had a reservation. Walk-ins are able to take advantage of the waterfront views and Adirondack chairs as the sun sets. All jokes aside, the portions were huge and the salmon was incredibly fresh. read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in the Hampton Bays! Celebrated my birthday with my family here and had such a pleasant experience! We tried to make reservations for Sunday, and they seemed to be all booked through Resy. My mom called and luckily they were so sweet and accommodating and created the reservation on our behalf. Our waitress was so kind and was on it with the recommendations. I was bummed out that they had just sold out on their lobster rolls, so will definitely need to go back for one next time. I had a salmon with truffle mashed potatoes dish and it was incredible! The spinach artichoke dip appetizer was also delicious. The menu is definitely a bit on the pricey side, but for a special occasions, I think this restaurant is totally worth it. read more

Food is great! The vibe is so fun, and the service is fast and reliable. We love it even in the off season!

This was my second visit to Cowfish in Hampton Bays, and once again, it did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to have the same waitress as my first time--Gabby--who is just as friendly, attentive, and on point as I remembered. She made the whole experience even better. The food? Outstanding. I had the swordfish special, and it was perfectly cooked--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. I also tried a new cocktail called the Lavender Bee's Knees, and it was to die for. Light, floral, and refreshing--it might be my new favorite drink. The overall vibe of the restaurant is relaxing yet upscale, with an atmosphere that's definitely above par for the area. I also noticed the two managers, both expecting (congrats to them!), and a male maître d' in a sharp blazer who was super professional and welcoming. You can tell the staff here really cares about hospitality. Cowfish is officially a go-to spot for me now--great food, great drinks, great people, and a great setting. read more

And it came to pass that we made our annual journey out East -to the Hampton- to visit old friends who moved their home's out there. There were six of us, three old fashioned, traditional couples, each consisting of a male & a female. The meeting spot was Cowfish in Hampton Bays. The traffic on 27a-Montauk Hwy, was slow and tedious, so we were late. We valet parked. Our friends were at the bar. They gave us a table on floor two on the veranda, open to the outside, but covered. It was good, but it was noisy. A table of young (in their twenties) ladies was nearby. They sounded like a gaggle of geese. We ordered. It was typical casual restaurant menu. I ordered a burger with bacon & fries. Others ordered fish or veggie meals, I didn't really take note. Food came out pretty quickly. We scarfed and drank and chatted about nothing in particular. The bill came. We split three ways. It was painless. So there you have it: food OK, price OK, service OK. See you next year. read more

Returned early August. Got lucky and found an on-line reservation for 4 at 630 PM. Best to get a reservation as this is a popular spot. Got there early and enjoyed cocktails at the back bar outside. And it was a beautiful day, lots of boat traffic on the water, and an enjoyable spot for a cocktail before dinner. Continue to enjoy coming here as they have a great selection and I usually have one of their "fish" offerings and am always more than satisfied. Now that we are coming into the offseason, I look forward to more visits with less traffic traveling west and more reservation availability. Not sure how long the outside bar is open but a great space for autumn cocktails, spiced hot drinks and an open fire. Hear that Cowfish, can you keep bar open on weekend nights through October, weather permitting???? read more

If you find yourself in the Hampton Bays area, you MUST make plans to dine at Cowfish! Myself and two buddies were in town for the Ryder Cup and staying in Hampton Bays. We read the great reviews for Cowfish, and brother, we were not disappointed! Our server Jillian was absolutely wonderful, and the manager, Jason, made it a point to come and speak with us, knowing we were in town for the Ryder Cup, and made us feel so welcome. The food was outstanding....the wedge salad, clam chowder, salmon, scallop special, and banana crème pie...all phenomenal!! And you just can beat the view from the dining room. I would love to come back one more night before we leave, it was that good. read more

Place had great food and great atmosphere! Would highly recommend for a date or even a dinner with the family. Our waitress was great!

Amazing views from this restaurant! The food wasn't bad either- I got the fresh salmon of the day which came with rice and broccoli. It left me satisfied and my friend got the lobster roll and she said it was absolutely divine. Make sure you come here with reservations as this place gets packed pretty quickly. It's great for families or for boozy brunch! Highly recommend! Would try to come here to catch the sunset next time since it's along the water. read more

I finally was able to come here for date night! I made a reservation and I highly recommend making a reservation as it gets packed. It took about 10 minutes for us to be seated. The service was very good and everyone was attentive. For apps we decided to try the skillet cornbread and the crispy Brussels sprouts. I have to say the Brussels sprouts were delicious! They were nice and crunchy and not overly drenched in sauce. The only issue is that I did ask for no onions and it was served with a lot of onions. Everyone raves about the skillet cornbread, but I have to say it was not my favorite. It's baked with maybe jalapeños or something spicy and it is drizzled with honey. It was a little on the dry side so I wasn't a fan. The steak was cooked medium and the potato was good. The cauliflower steak was delicious! It was served with a butternut whipped feta which was probably my favorite part of the dish. They also have butternut whipped feta as an appetizer and I think next time I will definitely be getting is as it was so delicious! The iron cookie skillet was sooooo good, it was very sweet but it was perfect to end the night! read more

The nice view from the outdoor patio did not redeem the quality of the food. We ordered a variety of appetizers and mains to share including the oysters, cornbread, tuna poke and crab meat. Oysters did not taste or look great - overall mediocre which is disappointing given how good the LI oysters can be. The cornbread had chunks of jalapeño. I am a huge fan of spicy foods and I'll generally order anything with jalapeños in it but the chopped jalapeños in the cornbread was out of place. Probably the most disappointing was the tuna poke. It had mango, strawberries in it with a thick sweet and sour sauce that overpowered the entire dish so much that I couldn't even taste the tuna, which is supposed to be the star of the show in a poke dish. Overall disappointing. read more

Another great place in the Hamptons! I love the fact that you can dock your boat here or come by land. I've been here via both modes of transportation. I also love that the service is very good. Of course I've been here for the most important reason- the food! The food is exceptional. This past time we got the shrimp appetizer, lobster roll, and the steak for dinner. So much flavor! I can't wait to try other items on the menu! The lobster roll was only on the lunch menu but they made it for dinner as they had he necessary ingredients to make the dish- which was very nice of them. I'll be back. read more
