After a beach day at Robert Moses Field 5, we walked over to Dive for dinner at Kismet, and you really can't beat the location. It's a quick, easy walk from the beach, and the views are worth it. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, and it had a fun, laid-back vibe. We started with a Rocket Fuel, which is a must have when anywhere on Fire Island, especially after a hot day! To start, we ordered the Yummy Balls from the sushi menu. They're three crispy rice balls topped with spicy tuna and crunchy bits. They definitely tasted better than they looked! The presentation wasn't anything special, but the flavor was on point. My friend built her own Dive Poke Bowl with tuna. It comes with edamame, avocado, crunch, and lettuce, and everything tasted really fresh. I stole a bite (obviously), and it was really good. I ordered the Blackened Mahi Tacos. They were fresh and the fish was cooked well, but I thought they were a little bland. Nothing a squeeze of lime or a little extra sauce couldn't fix though, I still enjoyed them. The service was quick and friendly. The views are great, the drinks were solid, and the menu has a little bit of everything. It's the perfect spot to end a beach day, whether you're just grabbing a cocktail or staying for dinner! read more

Service was good but the food was not. Why would a restaurant on an island in the Atlantic ocean be serving overcooked pollack as the fish special? Where is the bluefish and striped bass? Puls it was overcooked as was the chicken dish read more

Such great service! Waiter was kind, and food was severed quickly. Ambiance is the typical bar / outdoor restaurant. Great spot to grab a quick bite at the bar, or table service. Plenty of bike rack spots, or you can also walk from Robert Moses Field 5. I can see this being a popular spot for the Kismet vacationers, but also possible for the Robert Moses daycations. Definitely will be stopping back here again when we are biking through kismet! read more

Love their poke bowls! Delightful staff, happy vibe, and great patios. Thank you, Dive!

The portions were very small. I ordered tacos and only received two for $24. The chicken on my sandwich was undercooked, although they did replace it with another sandwich. Overall, I felt the restaurant was overpriced for the quality of the food. The waitress was great, and I have no complaints about the service. read more

There are not a lot of restaurants to choose from in Kismet, but I will say this is one of the better options. I'm a lobster roll aficionado; it's not summer for me if I don't have a good LR. I am saddened to report, I was not a fan of their lobster roll, in fact it was the worst one I tried this whole summer. Apps and drinks were perfection. Restaurant vibes are good too. I would absolutely come back, and try another entree. Calamari was on point ! They have events during the week that seem cool to check out. read more

Dive - I would not get this again. But the Greek salad was amazing! - New American Near Me - Kismet, New York

This is such a great place to hang out. It's casual and friendly and the food is great! I had the sushi which was absoutly delicious! Our server Christian was awesome! He was friendly, funny and so easy to talk to. He made a great experience even better, and we could all tell he loves what he does. This is definitely the place to check out for a nice casual lunch. Dinner is probably just as awesome, but we haven't tried it there yet. Maybe next year. read more

Sushi "in-crust" tasted like deep fried sea salt. Holes in outdoor tables allow food to spill through on your clothes. Waiter spilled soy sauce on my daughter's boyfriend- no manager addressed it. Opened up leftover boxes to find someone else's leftovers. I. Will. Never. Return. read more

Does what it needs to do. Good for a quick bite after being on the beach all day. Korean mussels were great. Only issue was entrees came out while we were still eating appetizers. read more

We had a great time here. We took the pedicab from Robert Moses and walked a few blocks. It's a beautiful neighborhood. We ordered a lobster roll that was 10/10 with fries ( crispy and flavorful) Drinks: Rocket fuel was phenomenal and margarita was ok( maybe my least favorite item). They had live music, we were sitting by the water on a beautiful day. Our server was attentive and nice. Can't wait to come back. read more

What a great experience at The Dive in Kismet. Eventhough the place was very busy, our waiter Christian provided prompt, courteous service and thought ahead about our needs. That's exceptional and shows he was there to make your meal stress free. His associate Jordan was exceptional too and we were incredibly impressed by both of them. Thank you Christian and Jordan. We enjoyed our food and exceptional service. In Asking for a manager to convey our appreciation we were introduced to Taylor and she is very interested in hearing of her team excelling at what they do. Taylor is also very entertaining and had us laughing at her insight!! Overall a great experience. The food was great with simply grilled cod tacos. The tacos were delicious. It's great to see people that genuinely care about your experience. Cheers The Dive!! We appreciate you!! read more

Food was good, view was good and our server was fantastic! She make our dinner a lot of fun. It was easy to book and they were thorough with confirming even asking where we wanted to sit and explained where the best view was. Will def go back read more

Finally got to fire island. Took the pedicab to Kismet for $10 a person. The pedicab runs all summer and on the weekends until November. Kismet is the closest town and you can also walk there from Robert Moses , a 2 mile walk (30 minutes). Walked around town and came upon A couple restaurants and market. Went into DIVE Restaurant. Great place with lots of seating options. You can sit indoors in air conditioning, in the covered porch on the side or up front outside. Has a good menu with vegetarian options. The tuna nachos were excellent as were the drinks . Service was just ok but adequate. Very enjoyable experience read more

On Fire Island the weekend after Labor Day, looking for dinner on a Saturday night. Made a quick reservation online, seated outside on the porch because inside was very loud. Had the Steak Noods, very nice portions of each ingredient; linguine with chorizo and clams which was pretty spicy. Nice atmosphere on the patio. read more

Made a reservation for a party of 6. Received a text that my table was ready 15 before the time. When I got to the Dive 5 mins before my reservation time the table was not ready and had to wait 10 mins for my table. Food came out for 4 of us sushi ( not complicated ) came out after some of us were already finished with our meal after asking our waiter twice ..... " oh yeah sorry I forgot" this wasn't a high school student summer job this was an older waiter. Horrible service. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, always have the best bands playing. Always a fantastic time. Despite this they have the most expensive and worst tasting zippys Fire Island have to offer. Bottom shelf alcohol (not even sure it it's rum). I've asked for them to make it with Bacardi, they gladly say yes and then still pour it out of a plastic bottle and hand you your 100 dollar bar tab with a smile. I get it fire islands a cash grab but don't insult us. read more

Went specifically for the live music & took the bartenders suggestion on the General Tso Califlower which was delish! read more

Surprisingly good for the price point. Sushi is good. But the New England Clam Chowder is the star of the show. The service is very good. Its a great place and fulfills fire island expectations read more

Visit Dates: July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2022 Over the July 4 weekend I kind of felt like I lived at the dive. My boyfriend played with The Ronald Reagans on July 3 and with his home band VHS on July 4. So for two days in a row along with doing a few other things in between I took ferries or did the Fire Island Lighthouse path to get back and forth from the Dive to Long Island. The food and drinks here are very good. I only ate the food one day because it was on the pricey side. If you are in a band they will comp you burgers or a chicken sandwich. I had the naan tacos and they comped them for me because I'm a vegetarian and because I was with the band as kind of a roadie. I also had the virgin mudslide since I don't drink alcohol and that was good too. The atmosphere here is so much fun. The night ends early so the band can get back to Long Island but people enjoy the music and dancing if they're into it. They have some games to play for the adults and for the kids if there are kids around. The atmosphere is relaxed and beachy. I may or may not be back here for the two other shows VHS booked but come check out the dive especially for a live music night. read more

Amazing food and drinks! Staff is fun and friendly! Always a great vibe at the Dive! We really enjoyed the Yummy balls and mussels apps but ALL the food was top notch! Rocket fuel is a classic drink choice! We brought our kids and they are super kid friendly as well! read more

Apps were good, $36 lobster roll was not worth it and other mains weren't great, Rocket fuel drink is great

We loved our little trip to fire island, so much we went like three times. I loved Dive, it's such a small little town and the only way to get in is either by foot, a pedicab or boat/ ferry. The food was an intricate variety of choices one could make. You had from sushi to pasta, to sea food to burgers and chicken wings, fries. And yes, we ordered all of it!!! We loved everything there, something about that island, next I want to come back and try something from their bar ! Till next time dive! read more

After spending a spendid few hours at the beach at Robert Moses, I unknowingly led my family to walk all the way to Dive. We were hangry, and tired and hot. But we were seated right away. My Tuna Nachos were refreshing! Perfect for a hot day after the beach! (Everything my family ordered was delicious.) The icing on the cake was our server. I didn't catch his name but he was so attentive and kind. Can't wait to come back here! read more

Nice outdoor spot in Kismet. We had Korean mussels, a generous portion of mostly plump mussels in a slightly spicy sauce great to sop up with the bread provided. Also had the bay walk salad greens and strawberries and chick peas and nuts. Montauk beer to wash it down with and good service as well. Am extra effort made to find a way for our large group to pay the check without just slopping us with one bill for eight people and asking us to figure it out. read more

The food and cocktails are so good, and the service is excellent. Among other things, get the Nood salad. It is perfect on a hot night.

Food was eh - I was a little disappointed to be honest. Not too many choices as far as restaurants to go to in Kismet but Dive seemed like a good option. The menu was pretty diverse for what they offered. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich but subbed the crispy chicken for grilled. I also subbed the fries for a side salad which was a good size. To me, the quality of chicken didn't seem good. It was pretty fatty and that usually turns me off to the whole meal. The salad pictured was heirloom tomatoes. It was really small and should be offered as an appetizer and not a main course dish. There's really no protein so it's not filling for the price of $15. Service was pretty good considering how busy it was but our waitress would hardly stop at the table to listen. I respect her working hard but I couldn't ask for what I needed because she wasn't taking the time to listen to the customers. Again, not many options to visit in the area but I'd try a different one next time. read more

Finally tried this new restaurant. The vibe is 70s. Small menu. They kept the sushi from the "out". My friend and I opted for the burger and a rocket fuel. The burger came with bacon, cheese and their sauce. I thought it was very tasty. Came with a decent size of fries. Brocket fuel was good. We were so hungry I forgot pics Price was high but it's FI. $15 typical for rocket fuel and $25 for the burger. The burger was high priced but it comes with the area etc. read more

We visited The Dive on Memorial Day weekend and our server, Kyle, went above and beyond assisting us! The short rib tacos were so delicious. Caesar Salad and the Greek salad were perfect portions. Four grilled shrimp on the Caesar were cooked perfectly. The Greek had delicious grilled chicken and an assortment of vegetables. We did try other salad dressings since we thought the Greek dressing was too thick. The Caesar was the best! It's the beach so it was a casual fun atmosphere. read more

This was the first place I came when I arrived to Kismet for the first time and I absolutely loved it! The rocket fuel drink is so yummy and refreshing - best one on the island! Kira, our waitress, was so friendly and accommodating. 10/10 recommend! read more

Fabulous! Salmon was outrageous! So good! Oysters on the small size. Great ambiance as well. Highly recommend!

First time at this spot. Everyone working was so so nice. The drinks were made strong and really good. We had rocket fuels and mud slides. We had a bunch of appetizers. The wings were full of sauce and very crispy. Cauliflower app was surprisingly addicting. Steak was made perfectly and really good. Fries were seasoned and everyone else enjoyed everything ordered. Bathrooms were clean and they had games outside set up. They even set up a TV for the game on the deck which was good. read more

Yesterday My daughter and I walked to Kismet from Robert Moses Field 5, spent afternoon there. We ate lunch at The Dive. My daughter had the Peach Salad which she said was very good. I had the Caesar Salad also very good. The service was good and we loved the ambiance of sitting outside across the street from the Boatel. Great little spot for lunch would go back again. read more

Only giving stars Because the bartenders were lovely. Ordered the Miri mountain--fake crab meat!!! What??? At the beach????? Truly gross. We miss the Kismet Out. Lost a long standing customer. read more

Dive - a plate of food with chopsticks and sauce - New American Near Me - Kismet, New York

Portions are small and not entirely the most delicious. I had oysters and a fish sandwich. The prices are too high for what's being delivered. Oysters were small and not plump. Fish sandwich, I mean a fish sandwich should be a nice filet, but what I got was a sad little thing. It was closer to a slider than a sandwich. Service was good and the atmosphere is fun which are both positives but I wouldn't go back except to the bar as the drinks were good. read more

Beautiful spot in Kismet. However, disappointed with the food. The calamari was fresh and delicious. I ordered the short rib tacos and it was three corn tortillas with melted cheddar cheese and short ribs and it was very bland and the sauce on the side tasted like greasy meat juice, and then a chimichurri sauce. Meh. I actually took a few bites and sent it back. My husband got a dive burger and it tasted like chop meat, it wasn't seasoned and had no flavor. The fries are good though! The server was either really busy short tempered, not my fave. We might go back to have some drinks or enjoy the ambiance and appetizers but for the premium Fire Island pricing I'd expect better food than what I cook at home! read more

Food excellent Try the lobster tacos Service excellent Very very accommodating (they let us switch table TWICE) and took it all in stride. Lilly and Fredy are amazing! Rocket Fuel is perfection! read more
