Brought my girlfriend here for our anniversary. We both got a rum punch and they were ridiculously good. (They also use paper straws, so another thumbs up on helping the environment!) She ordered the Salmon and I ordered the seared ahi tuna. I don't even like salmon that much, but it was delicious. My tuna was out of this world! So fresh and so good! The price is a little high (was about $100 plus tip for 2 drinks and a meal each) but i'm not lying when i tell you it was well worth every penny. The scenery on the water is also phenomenal and even if i didn't like the food, i would go here for drinks and that awesome sunset they have to offer! Great location, great food....great time read more

Short memory... I guess the pandemic did nothing for a sense of humility at Cowfish... Ordered an online pickup meal. Waited for a very long time, gave my name to two different employees servicing the pickup crowd to no avail, finally had to go in and find out what was going on. They'd given my meal to someone else. Totally unapologetic, dismissive, rude, etc. Typical Hamptons attitude. I think I'll pass on ordering pickup from them when the second wave hits. I suggest you do the same. They apparently don't need the business. read more

This place is not what it was. I used to love it here and expect a great meal. The last two time the food has been frankly awful. I think I'm done sadly - still great for a cocktail by the water but I will never eat here again. read more

Simply an amazing dining experience at Cowfish last night. I went there with my fiancé to celebrate my birthday and it was exceptional. I had chosen this place primarily because of the beautiful location by the water as well as the great reviews I had read. Well it surpassed expectations on all levels. My fiancé had the ahi tuna, which was outstanding. Cooked perfectly and the flavors were fantastic. I chose the prix fixe three course dinner since it happened to be LI Restaurant week and each course was delicious. I started with the steak tips appetizer and the dish was excellent. The sauce was bursting with flavor and the meat was excellent too. For my main course I had the scallops with butternut squash and it was simply perfect! Finally, I shared the apple crumb dessert, which is served with walnuts and ice cream and it almost put me in a sugar coma -but in a good way! Overall, we loved the restaurant. The setting is simply gorgeous and it is a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in eastern Long Island. read more

Beautiful space with views of the water. We went back in June when outdoor seating opened up. The food was pretty good, I'd say skip the risotto though. Customer service was good overall but there was this 1 girl who was kinda clueless and rude. She kept trying taking our plates when we weren't done eating and actually took some plates that still had food left on it. That was not cool. She also spilled some water on my friend. read more

Came for dinner for my bachelorette party, so we had a large reservation. Drinks were good, no complaints there. I ordered the ribs, which fell off the bone. Quite literally, when i picked up my first one, the bone was the only thing that came off the plate. They were SO tender, and I was caught off guard by it. The sauce on it was a slightly spicy bbq in the best way. They got docked 2 stars for service. Two of our friends had to wait about 10 minutes after we all were served to get their food. That's not right to me. You wait until the entire party's dishes are ready. We actually had to tell the waitress that they hadn't been served yet, and by the look she gave us, you could tell she messed up. read more

Views were great, food was good but most of it was cold. Sushi was really nice and overall ambiance is casual but fun. Maybe because it was busy, some of our food was cold? Not sure. Overall cute restaurant with great views and nice ambiance, but not sure about the food (temperature wise). read more

We had an awful experience at Cowfish and will never go back. We'd heard good things about the food, so we went there one night at 5:45, hoping for an outdoor table. We were told there was a 45 minute wait to sit outside. Fair enough, we didn't have a reservation and we were walk-ins. So we made a 5:45 reservation for a few nights later, and when we showed up promptly that night, we were told there was (stop me if this sounds familiar) a 45 minute wait to sit outside. At Cowfish, having a reservation is no better than not having a reservation. "But you're welcome to sit outside and have some drinks," the hostess said. The clear bait-and-switch here is to sell you as much booze as possible until you're next in line for an open table. No thanks. read more

Didn't like the food or the prices.Burger was undercooked and 18$ for 3 shrimp thru Uber eats. There's better options for better prices that don't charge 6$ a shrimp read more

Fantastic views with phenomenal food. What else is there? The Sushi was incredible the Maui Wow-e roll was the best sushi roll I've ever had. The scallops were cooked perfectly... Perfect evening. Thank you Cowfish! read more

Would you like to pay $16 for Three Buffalo shrimp? Would you like to swat yellow jackets non stop? Would you like 3 of your 6 plates to come out wrong and one not at all? Would you like to ask three times before getting a rum punch? If so, this is the place for you! Go somewhere else; Anywhere else! read more

Ate outside on open air deck on warm sunny November afternoon. Service was excellent and food was very good. Had blackened Mahi-mahi sandwich. Would recommend. read more

a staple in the Hamptons that we're sure to visit anytime we're out East. Great food, and great service!

The atmosphere is noisy and even at 930 there was a half hour wait. You have to fight for service at the bar with the crowds, and one cocktail was undrinkable. The scallops were excellent and you must eat the Brussel sprouts. Skip the banana dream pie - the custard has no flavor (we found out later it is vanilla custard). Very average dining read more

A true locals spot in Hamptons Bay with beyond fantastic food. The seafood is as fresh as it comes and the masterfully crafted entrees are perfected versions of modern American classics. Highly worth the detour even if only for the ambiance. Must try. read more

Just went to go for dinner and so many people were not wearing masks that I had to leave. The staff didn't seem to care and never said anything to those not wearing masks until I pointed it out. Also - way too many people and they are certainly not adhering to the lower capacity requirements! I would not risk it CoronaCowfish Restaurant read more

Ordered take out for Mothers Day dinner and was expertly handled. They come to the car with gloves/masks- you don't have to move...super friendly and easy. Food is always delicious but this time I got the Brussel Sprouts, Gibbs burger and Ribs which were amazing!!! Best burger I ever had. As always I ordered the cornbread and it disappears immediately! My family loved their meals and we splurged on the decadent skillet cookie and Boston cream pie (what is in that crust??? YUM)...smiles all around. Love this place!! Thanks for making my day so special!! read more

Went here for brunch on the weekend and the food was incredible, not to mention the view of the bay. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and the service was great as well. Will be definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

I visited Cowfish for the first time while vacationing in Riverhead. I was thoroughly impressed by the communication and training of the staff from the minute we pulled into the parking lot. They move people through kindly and efficiently. The views are great and the food was excellent. It's definitely a spot we would visit again the next time we are out that way. read more

Beautiful location with spectacular views. food is excellent really enjoyed our visit. Derick, the gerneral manager, gave us a personal tour of the property absolutely worth a visit! read more

Had a really wonderful time here for my best friends birthday. To start it's a beautiful location, right on the water it's lit up so nicely. I was off to a rocky start when our reservation of 13 was only nine. At first we thought we'd have to be put back on a waitlist but the general manager was able to sit us! My party was moved to a smaller table in order to accommodate a large party and we were even given two free appetizers for our troubles. The staff is very nice and helpful they checked in on my party multiple times. I know it's easy to overlook a younger party but our waiter was excellent. Food was really good I suggest is the steak to anybody going! Would definitely come back again. read more

Came for lunch with my sister. We loved the mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a fish restaurant. But the service was below average and the chips were too terrible to finish. When we arrived at 1.40, we had to wait 20 minutes while they got our table ready. OK, so we didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was only half full. There was no reason to make us wait at all. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch before heading back to Philly. Mainly came here for the good reviews and views of Shinnecock Bay. What a beautiful day. The restaurant is located adjacent to a marina and parking had complimentary valet. I was not quite sure how the valet worked because the parking lot was right in front of the restaurant. but the employee noted insurance reasons (likely due to the marina being so close). The property is absolutely beautiful with great views of the bay. There is a front lawn area with lawn chairs to lounge and chill. The back of the building features an outdoor full bar that is covered. It is really convenient for boaters coming into dock to have a drink and chill. Inside, the dining area is rustic with tons of windows for natural light. We sat upstairs on the north side because the deck facing south was quite sunny. The place has many versatile rooms and settings which likely made for different private events. Our waiter, Mike, was very nice and cordial. We had a couple of beers (decent selection with a local flare). I ordered the softshell crab BLT (special) and my wife ordered the ahi tuna. I will say, the Ahi Tuna was a good bit better than my BLT, but I did enjoy the layered flavors of my crab BLT. The tuna was just seared to perfection and laid atop a bed of pineapple coconut fried rice. I would have exchanged my fries for the spanish rice or mushrooms if I had to do it over, but I cannot stay in regret!! I will certainly be back if I am ever in this area. Great experience overall. read more

Cowfish is a nice restaurant with an amazing view. The property is well kept with many nooks to hang out while you wait. You will wait btw. For the kids, there is a small wooden boat for them to climb and play which is nice. The staff are friendly and quick although they do not rush you. The food is pretty good. I had the filet with an add on of a lobster tail (extra $18). I would recommend this restaurant. read more

You will need to book a week+ in advance via Resy in the summer for prime dinner hours, so we did a late lunch instead. Lunch menu is a little simplified from the dinner offerings, but the favorites are all here. Food was cooked perfectly and delicious, service was practiced and professional, and the pacing of the meal was nicely managed to 1:45 with drinks and three courses. Worth a visit on your trip! read more

Beautiful spot and delicious food. Get the cornbread appetizer- one of the best around. Lobster roll is overflowing with lobster- worth the price. read more

Beautiful views! Cowfish did an amazing job seating 11 of us by following covid-19 guidelines but not keeping us too far apart. Drinks were really good and dessert were really good. I ordered the scallops they were good risotto a little bland but not too bad at all read more

So glad we came across Cowfish as last place to visit on our weekend gateway. The service and staff was amazing. We order some items from the brunch menu which included the steak with potatoes, benetic eggs with oysters and toast with guac and salmon. Simply delicious. The water view and restaurant in general was also very beautiful. We will certainly be coming back. read more

Had an early dinner here a few days ago. The location is wonderful right on the water. We were there during the late lunch hours and the restaurant was pretty quiet. We sat by the window and our waiter was over, very quickly. A little too quickly. But, we ordered drinks while looking over the menu. Our waiter again rushed over with drinks asking if we were ready to order. It was a little off putting, we felt a bit rushed, considering how empty it was. We ordered, our food was good. We had the spinach artichoke dip, then the cowfish burger and kale salad with chicken. The dip was good, the burger was cooked well, but was a premade patty, and the kale salad was also good. The food isn't anything exciting and the portions are quite large for lunch portions. Go for the views, the food is average. read more

Great view, excellent service. We ordered clam chowder and shrimp. Soup is creamy and tasty. The shrimp is excellent with Jasmine rice. read more

Came here for lunch and it was great the staff was attentive and they were very accommodating With the menu since I am a pescatarian, they were able to change a few dishes and made them pescatarian friendly. The view was nice though it was really cold that day I'm sure it's great in the summertime. read more

Very lovely setting, right on the bay. The buffalo shrimp appetizer was delicious, as was the Nola shrimp entree. The best part of all was the service. Our server was very friendly without being extra and super attentive without being overbearing. read more

Please be careful in this place. My wife ordered a Casamigos martini and we were charged $32 for it. When we asked the waitress what this was she sent the manager over and he tried to explain to us that it was a double even though we did not order a double. The argument made no sense. Terrible customer service and Cowfish should be embarrassed read more

Should just be named 'fish.' Not the best steak in hamptons as proclaimed. Great ambiance and outdoor dining situation. The buffalo shrimp was unique and delicious. My girlfriend said the tuna was the best tuna she's ever had. Our ribeye was OK, but should stick to a steakhouse if you want a $60 steak. Overall, a nice spot and would return, but would stick to fish. Also, the old fashioned's were 2/5. read more

Food was okay but major points for the beautiful scenery. I definitely recommend anyone visiting Hamptons. Good for families, dates, and just friends gathering. read more

Great food but the last three times I ordered delivery via Uber eats here they forget a meal and/send something completely wrong. It is quite frustrating they messed up three times in a row and the most recent time I waited so long to speak to a manager I just gave up. They need to train their take out staff to DOUBLE CHECK orders before sending them out. read more

It's good. A bit hyped up for sure. But the food is solid not amazing. It's a good place to sit outdoors and enjoy the scenery and being near the water. Kid friendly! read more

Everything is fresh, delicious and timely. Have been going here for years and never am let down. If you want a great night out with a beautiful view this is where to be ! read more

Great views. Good service. Good food. Needs more specials and add new items to menu. Needs more choices when dining there more than 2 times. With a view like they have, you need more than a great Happy Hour. Honest food cooked well with nice presentation. read more
