I've been to Cowfish a few times, but this visit was so good that I had to write about it. The property is gorgeous, located on the South Shore of Long Island in the Hampton Bays. The restaurant is huge and always busy. They have two levels, and while I prefer sitting upstairs, both spaces are great. This time, I tried their New England Clam Chowder for the first time, and it was phenomenal. There wasn't a grain of sand to be found, and it was absolutely loaded with meaty, perfectly cooked, tender clams. The flavor was unforgettable. It managed to be creamy without feeling heavy. You know when a chowder leaves a thick coating of cream in your mouth that lingers long after each bite? This wasn't like that at all, and it was perfect. I also enjoyed the Caesar salad. I've seen it presented this way before, and while it does put a little more work on the diner, it's really not a big deal to use a fork and knife. The lettuce was crisp and cold, the dressing tasted homemade, and the crouton crumble was a game changer. I decided to add the seared blackened scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. The upcharge was a little more than I would have liked for the amount, but it was worth it. After all, who doesn't love a scallop straight from Montauk? That scallop traveled less to get to my plate than I did to get to Hampton Bays. The drinks were festive, the wine was cold, and the atmosphere was lively. It's the perfect place to bring friends and family and have a great time.

Really tasty restaurant with great views. Both drink and food menu had lots of options. Cornbread was delicious and a large portion. The burger was super juicy and flavorful as well. Service was quick and prices were reasonable. A great visit for brunch or dinner!

Walked in in a Monday night. It was pretty busy. Got a nice table outside but covered. Cool vibe. Cocktails were real good. Got the artichoke dip which was good and the brussel sprouts which were ok. Main dish was the wedge salad with blackened shrimp. Pretty good. Prices are fair considering the location. Overall a good experience. And good service

Look, I'm just going to get to the point. This place over looks the harbor, is festive and what some might call loud, and has excellent food. The menu isn't huge which always is a good sign. Make reservations if you can, it was packed at 9pm. The whole staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I like to have a good time with staff if they're up to it. These folks all had a fun time with us. A must do if you're in the Hamptons.

The food here is INCREDIBLE!!! We had a kicka** salad and the ribs were falling off the bone! The tuna dish had a great rub on it and the baked potato was out of this world. We LOVED everything here and were so satisfied with the meal. Service was great and can't wait to come back when it's warm out!

The hot fudge sundae

The restaurant is located on the South Shore of Long Island in Hampton Bays. My brother had been here several times but I had never been so we decided to try it for dinner. It is on two levels and there are indoor and outdoor bars. They have comfortable acoustics so it is easy to make conversation. The restaurant is on the water so the view is spectacular. They do have a walk in policy [first come first served] but for large groups it is advisable to make a reservation since it gets very crowded in the summer. We were seated upstairs and our waitress came over and took our drink order. My brother got a Miller lite and I got the Sunset Spritz [bourbon, Aperol, Lemon juice and procecco] it was delicious. We asked for water as well. Our waitress was very informative [I didn't get her name, she is listed on the receipt as 300B,] She knew the menu inside out and was able to delineate the special that my brother ordered. She also came back to the table several times to see if we needed anything and if the food was to our liking. She took out entree order-my brother ordered the whitefish special and a side of truffle fries and I ordered the Block Island swordfish which came with couscous and grilled asparagus. Our food came in a short span of time during which my brother got another Miller Lite. My brother enjoyed the whitefish special and the swordfish that I ordered was flaky and tender. The asparagus were large and grilled to perfection. The squash that came with my brother's meal, [he doesn't care for them] which I ate were very tasty and delicious. After we finished our meal, we decided to look at the desert menu. I was interested in getting a double espresso but they only had french press coffee with an espresso blend which I declined. My brother decided the get the hot fudge sundae and I opted for the vanilla been cheesecake topped with a fruit compote. Both were delicious. The restroom was clean and they offer valet parking, Parking a van may be a little more problematic according to the staff. It is a pricey meal but this is to be expected given the quality of the food and the gorgeous setting. There is more than adequate help and everyone is accommodating. I would recommend.

Great staff, very good food, one of the nicest outside spaces on Long Island, but a few accessibility issues. Accessibility wise: no van parking, but the parking staff did make us one. The bathrooms are a little tight and the entrance has a short, steep ramp that my scooter got stuck on. Easy rolling otherwise. We really enjoyed our experience here.

Haven't been for a couple of years and as it was a gorgeous day and I felt like an outdoor libation out in the Hamptons . The bar outside is a huge rectangle bar right on the water . There's boats galore , tons of friendly people and terrific bartenders . Had some Buffalo shrimp ands perfectly made Martini and just had a chill afternoon . The restaurant is top notch and there is even a little ferry that can take you to Rumba their sister location . No Alec Baldwin or Jerry Seinfeld sightings but still .... Place is great all around . What are you waiting for ?? Let the stress melt away !!

When visiting the Hamptons, this is a must visit! From the astonishing views or delicious food, they truly deliver excellence. The clam chowder and ribs are to die for!

Swordfish and carrots

Had a great time here for my friend's birthday. Our waitress was friendly and even referred us to a bar for after dinner. All of the staff were on top of it for our big group of 16. The food was fresh and the drinks were smooth. The only negative I'd callout was the dessert. We got 2 cookie skillets which were a bit undercooked; granted the restaurant was closing and we were still seated.

Are reservations required?

Not required but recommended because they are very popular, especially during the Summer months.

What is the dress code?

I would say its totally casual but neat. I wouldn't wear cut off jeans, tank tops or a bathing suit - but shorts, jeans, khakis, button down shirts, sundresses all good. The place has a cool, upscale Hamptons vibe and is located on beautiful… 

Is there still a boat that takes you to the sister restaurant Rumba?

Im sorry, im not sure! It doesn't specify a specific time/day so it might be.

Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

The first time here and definitely not the last. Thank you Jacob for being an outstanding person…read moreand server! The food and rinks were in point! The views and availability made it so delightful to enjoy our brunch meal. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere, highly recommend.

Three of us had the monkfish. It was amazing. One of our group had chicken fricasee. He loved it. We finished with delicious Basque cheesecake and an affogato. This place is head and shoulders above anywhere else that I have eaten on the east end. It's a big splurge unless you go on a night when the prix fixe is offered. It's a perfect evening for a special occasion or when you want a compete dining experience.

Oops lol It was a quiet Friday evening and Plaza Café is conveniently located near my friend's house there in South Hampton. Being off season, there has been very little traffic and people on the streets. There were only 3 other parties in the restaurant when we walked in. This place is cute, private, has great good food, and service. Their menu is very small, but I was still having trouble deciding what I wanted to eat for dinner. Finally decided on the Tile fish....Yeah I know, I was like. Was told that they're like human beings because they eat just about anything in the sea. No idea if that's true or not, but I'll take it. The dish was light and full of flavor. Tried some of my friend's Salmon/Udon dish and I actually think his was the better choice. The salmon went very well with the udon. Noodles were kind of firm and juices full of flavor. Plenty of parking in their private lot. Looks like they may share it with businesses/hotel in the area. I'd eat here again. The décor and feel was okay, nothing amazing or memorable.
