The outside bar is a win all around, beautiful location right on the water. Can get really busy on summer weekends so if you go during the week I think the experience is better. Food is always good, as you can imagine there's lots of seafood dishes and steaks. The brussell sprouts and stuffed mushroom apps are a must. read more

I had a mixed experience here, although there were several good things! The good: The food was very tasty. I ordered the salmon special (pictured here) and really enjoyed it. Everything was made well and presented nicely. The view here is gorgeous. A lovely spot to watch the boats come in or see the sunset if you have a table with a view. The not so good: The bathrooms were not as clean as they could have been (needed a wipe down and no paper towels were left.) I also waited 20 minutes after being seated for someone to come by the table and greet me or offer a drink. They seemed to not notice me for quite a while at first. After that, things got better and the service improved! read more

We went there Sunday for lunch. They were serving brunch too but we got lunch menu. We had Braised Pork Belly and Clam Chowder for appetizers and for entree, we had feature salmon of the day (served with string beans and white rice) garnished with cherry tomatoes, olives, parsley, and capers. It was pretty good but the garnish was a little salty for my taste. The blackened fish sandwich was also pretty good and the best part of it were the fries. The fries were SO GOOD and I don't know why. For appetizers, I highly recommend the braised pork belly. It just melted in my mouth. The clam chowder wasn't the best one I had, but it was still good. The view is perfect also!! read more

The ambiance is perfect, situated on the water. Great views, now it just needs better service and food. I keep going back in hopes that it will get better, but last time the server disappeared for ever and the food is just not that good. it makes me sad bc I love to eat at a restaurant on the water. read more

Excellent food, service and ambience. We had a delicious lunch on a crisp, clear and gorgeous October midweek day. Lyndsey, our server, provided excellent service and suggestions for local points of interest The corn bread skillet with home made honey butter is a must... as is the New England Clam chowder. The buffalo jumbo shrimp app did not disappoint. Lobster roll was perfect and ahi burger delicious .., and although we were stuffed, the banana crème pie was light and airy, but decadent at the same time. The views are stunning, a combo of serene and vibrant especially with the coolness of the fall season. Great drink and wine list.,, you won't be disappointed and you won't leave hungry! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Really nice setting on the water. Lots of good choices on the menu and I really enjoyed the fresh halibut special. Prices are typical for the area. It gets crowded so definitely make a reservation. Free boat or bus shuttle to sister bar Rumba is a cool touch too if you want to grab drinks before or after your meal. read more

Absolutely 5 stars! Great service and atmosphere. I recommend the outdoor upstairs request overlooking the water with a few. The baby back ribs are a must! Great experience, dog friendly and great food read more

So, real talk: I had a date NOT recommend this place. And in my everlasting pettiness, I came here on a whim to prove him wrong. I was seated promptly in a lovely open room overlooking the water and ordered a sangria. Refreshingly sweet and studded with sliced grapes. Due to a hilarious misunderstanding, I did end up waiting 40 mins just to place an order for food (I was dining alone and the poor waitress thought I was waiting for someone, nursing my drink). But everyone was super kind and complementary! I proceeded to order the NOLA shrimp. And I will say, that dish won me over. Big pieces of shrimp are covered in this very tasty and savory Worcestershire reduction. The rice was amazingly soft and the bread served alongside to soak up the sauce was so perfectly toasted and buttered, I could've finished an entire loaf. (But did not because I was in a classy neighborhood). Overall, its a scenic space with good food, good drinks, and good people. Would gladly come here again, especially now that I know I'm right! read more

What is not to love about this location! Great food! Great service! Great drinks! Beautiful views and greenery! Not too crowded.

Solid place and a lot of fun. Great views and set up. Nice live music on Fridays. Good cocktails. Food is only "good" not "great" which keeps it from five stars. The shrimp dishes are on better end of spectrum. We didn't like the chicken. read more

Such a cute restaurant right on the water! I was so excited to try this place out that I drove here from Nassau Country (about 1.5 hours) just for the food and scenery. We expected there to be a long wait since it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but we got right in. We ordered the cornbread and deviled eggs for appetizers, and I got the seared ahi tuna as a main dish. Everything came out so quickly and was delicious! After we ate, we spent some time walking around and enjoying the views. It's such a pretty area with some chairs and couches set up outside, so you can even just stop to grab a drink and relax by the water. read more

I have been here a few times now for cocktails, but I was excited to finally dine here. I've always heard good reviews from friends. The hostess asked if we wanted to sit outside which we did want to so I was very happy she gave us the option! We went upstairs only to stand around while about 5 different employees walked past us 3x. Another couple was up there waiting to be seated as well. I finally asked someone they said someone would be right with us. As another party of 4 came up the stairs the hostess came out of no where and took them before both of us who were already waiting (yes with reservations). Once we were seated without silverware and given lunch menus instead of dinner menus, our lovely waitress came over and corrected everything. We quickly ordered and the food came out very prompt which was nice! We ordered the lighthouse sushi roll which wasn't really good. It didn't come with wasabi or ginger either which was also disappointing. We also got the cornbread skillet which was very good! Only complaint was a little piece of it wasn't cooked, it was still cornmeal powder but was still enjoyable! We got a small wedge salad which was delicious as well. For entrees I got a filet mignon with truffle butter and green beans. The steak was cooked perfectly but was overly salty. The truffle butter was most definitely not truffle butter either, definitely a garlic butter of some sorts. The green beans were phenomenal! My boyfriend got the blackened fish sandwich which he enjoyed!!! We also got a run punch to drink and it tasted as if the orange juice was sour but oh well! Overall I was happy I finally got to dine here but I'm not sure if I will come back for dinner. read more

Finally made it to Cowfish! Located in Hampton Bays on the water, the ambience was the perfect summer vibe. The diverse menu had something for everyone in our party. Both the service and food were good. Definitely worth the trip. read more

Foods good and atmosphere is amazing. We pulled up the boat to the dock and grabbed drinks from the bar. Tables and people at the bar were well spread out for COVID. We were able to get a table outside and ate every bite of our delicious meal. Menu is a bit pricey but you are paying for the good vibes and great view! read more

Went for lunch last Saturday. As usual, the food was exceptional. The service, however, left a lot to be desired. Had to ask 3x for water. Several parties that were seated after us were eating BEFORE we were able to order! Had to as GM Michelle to check on our food. We'd waited way to long for a Ceasar salad & Feta plate. In all the years going there....this was the worst service! read more

We have eaten there at least 100 times through the years and it is consistently great. The fish, steaks, stuffed potato and puree feta are all treats. The view, perhaps the BEST in the Hamptons. Even on the busiest days, the staff is exceptional and makes you feel as if you are family. This an absolute must destination in the Hamptons!!!! read more

This restaurant with its impeccable Shinnecock Bay location is what every dockside restaurant wants to be. When it comes to ambience, the setting, the style, the grounds- it gets a solid 5. But the food is at a 1. Landscape is flawless. View is practically 360°- especially if you're dining outside. Outstanding service from my girl Carmen! My Halibut was pricy, overcooked in some parts, edible in others and a "crust" was added to replace the skin(?). According to hubs, his 1/2 rotisserie chicken tasted good but looked like it was sitting for hours and the "Spanish Rice" had Mexican flavors- people....please pick a country!!! Sit outside and relax on their Adirondack chairs after dinner and enjoy dusk. Sorry don't mean to offend- even the loud kids weren't annoying me. Expensive for unacceptable food. And again...food is a 1. read more

Just a perfect setting on the canal for lunch or dinner. The food is great as is the service. Get a table on the top porch.

Went for a wedding rehearsal dinner and loved it! The food was fresh, health y and local. We had kale salad, local whitefish panned fried, whole chicken and rice beyond my dreams. The setting is surrounded by water and a dock to use. read more

Had such a lovely lunch at Cowfish. It's right on the water so sitting upstairs on the deck was so perfect. The service was great as well. I shared the blackened fish sandwich and a salmon BLT sandwich that was a special. They were both so delicious and fresh. What a tasty take on a BLT! The vibes and food were great so I would definitely go back again. read more

Solid spot for drinks in Hampton Bays but their happy hour is just mediocre. Prefer the happy hour specials at Rumba but the view is better at CowFish. read more

We had a reservation for 16 for a birthday. We had to wait about 50 minutes for our table. The food was fabulous. Our waitress was amazing and literally did everything by herself without any help until we were almost done. It was a crowded Saturday night so we did expect to wait but not that long. It's summer in the Hamptons, so had it not been a birthday we would have waited till after Labor Day. I'm sure I'll be posting a five star review in November. read more

Came upon this great waterfront spot. Can't get in without a reservation. But we were lucky to get a spot at the bar offering a full menu. Lovely view and tentative staff. Cocktails and wine menu good selection. We tried the buffalo shrimp and spinach and artichoke dip and enjoyed them both. For our entrees we had the diver scallops with corn and bacon risotto. Excellent choice. Looking forward to coming back read more

Food and atmosphere was good. Service, left to be desired. Was there on Friday night and ordered the Green Curry cod, beautifully decorated plate. My friends both said it was delicious. I ordered the seared tuna dish. Very tasty, however the pineapple fried rice that accompanied the dish was very much like risotto.Goopy and clumpy, definitely not fried rice. Lobster sushi roll was ok, too big and messy in one bite. Overall I will return, as the dishes were delicious. read more

Sat on the upper roof deck for a late lunch and enjoyed the best view. Food was phenomenal, service was fast and very friendly, and prices were fair considering the area. The lemon aioli on the lobster roll was absolutely divine, so we asked for a side to dip our fries in and we basically licked the bowl dry lol. The salad was perfectly dressed and was a nice size portion. You won't be disappointed. We're still talking about our meal! read more

Can't beat the waterfront dining and drinks here. The Buffalo shrimp are amazing. I used have been here for my birthday dinner every year for the past 8 years and ordered the tuna entree. They recently changed it this year and unfortunately was disappointed by the size of tuna and sides accompanying it. Service can sometimes be slow at the bar but the rum punch is worth the wait! read more

Took another couple to Cowfish on Thursday for their $30 Prix Fixe Dinner. Was cold out and views of the Bay were beautiful. We went up the long winding ramp to the venue. Very quaint inside, not pretentious at all but warm and comfortable. We settled in to a nice corner table with views of the water and boats in their slips. We noted that the regular prices were on the high side but this dinner was worth trying as the food was delish. I had the Pan Fried Salmon and Bon had the sesame crusted Tuna...both fresh and outstanding. The Tuna was two slabs of beautiful sushi grade tuna with a slight sear on the outside and basically raw on the inside...perfect! Our server Melissa was warm and personable making the dinner even better...For desserts we had a couple of chocolate sundays and a couple of slices of Banana Creme Pie....outstanding! Dinner was so enjoyablee we cant wait to return!!! read more

10/10 for views and ambiance . 8/10 for food and service. They have everyone wait on you which is nice because it's pretty quick and easy but then you get some nice servers and some not so nice.

1- Noisy inside 2- Flies buzzing (not too many but enough to be noticeable. 3- food- sloppy presentation: Greek salad: slathered in a vey salty dressing, no whole olives, just canned , no variety Nola Shrimp: decent good sized shrimp In nice reduction. Rice was pasty and was dressed with corn. Why I dont know. Blackened Mahi: sub standard portion bearing grille marks and little or no pepper ( had to ask for the pepper mill - none on the table and none offered. Drinks: i had a Cosmo which I returned because it tasted as if it was from a different planet. Replaced with a margarita which was good, probably the best thing about this evening out. Staff: servers were cordial an efficient, no complaint. I' rate it 3 out of 5 read more

Always one of my favorite restaurants. Food is always top notch. A $48 lobster roll for lunch caught me off guard when there are no items on the menu even similarly close.
