How does this place get bad reviews when it's absolutely stunning? They have a DJ and nice food and drinks right on the beach and the beach club. This review is for the beach club, I will leave another for the restaurant. I'll say this though - both are great and I definitely look forward to returning. The beach club has awesome views of the water and incoming boats. It's also fun for people watching and taking pictures. Everyone that works here is also very friendly. I come every time I'm in Greenport for drinks and oysters! read more

Duryea's is such a special spot. Tucked away on the Orient Sound, it feels like a mini beach vacation from the second you walk in. The vibe is chill but elevated, with great music playing and a beautiful waterfront view that makes the whole place feel like a getaway. The service is seriously amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really well taken care of. That kind of service is hard to come by and definitely stood out. The food is delicious. Every dish we tried was fresh and full of flavor. It is on the pricey side, and we did notice the lobster rolls have gone up in price and are a bit smaller than we remember, but they were still incredibly tasty. You're definitely paying for the full experience, and it's worth it. The space is clean, the bathrooms are spotless, and the whole place just has a great energy. Whether you're visiting the area or live nearby, Duryea's is one of those places you'll want to come back to. Highly recommend it. We'll definitely be returning. read more

I heard about Duryea's beach area in Orient Point via a social media post and immediately booked a reservation. I am so glad I did! This venue offers stunning views and treats us like royalty during our stay. Each reservation gets you a two-hour sitting, with a minimum purchase of $60 per person required. The concept is light fare/tapas, but you will leave full if you order appropriately. What we ordered to share: lobster roll sliders, watermelon feta salad, lemon pepper chicken skewers, oysters on the half shell and shrimp cocktail. THE GROWS: Securing parking can be challenging during high-volume times, so check with them before you arrive to inquire about alternative parking spots. Obviously, weather plays a role in your experience, so make a reservation and cross your fingers that the weather gods will err in your favor. It's a pricey visit, but the experience outweighs the cost. Just keep it in mind when you book. THE GLOWS: Visiting here makes you feel like you are on vacation on a tropical island. Seating is arranged for parties of 2, 4, and 4+. We were lucky and were seated in the front row, under a palapa, a happy party of two. We ordered rose and a sparkling seltzer to start. Glasses and a bottle of water were presented as well. The watermelon feta salad also came with melon and chives--so light and refreshing. The lobster roll sliders came as a party of 3 with drawn butter to dip in on the side. The hot sauce and cocktail sauce with the oysters and shrimp tasted homemade. If you are looking for a day trip on a beautiful summer day, I highly recommend stopping here! read more

Not really sure what to write about Duryea's - seems like it doesn't know what it wants to be - it's confused. To begin, I made a reservation using the Resy app. I read the cancelation policy that I would be charged $50 per person if I did not show, and understood that I could manage my reservation through the app, but when my plans changed - I could not change the time of my reservation through the app. I tried calling, but only listened to a recording that referred me back to the app - there was no way to talk to a person. I emailed Duryea's and received an auto-reply with no response to my request to move up my reservation time. I felt locked-in! How is this considered good customer service? Well it's not! Terrible first impression. So, rather than lose $100, and try a different restaurant, we decided to go an hour early. When we arrived, I explained that I had a reservation, along with all my attempts to contact them. A young lady replied, "Well, we don't have a phone number." I said, "You do - there's just no way to speak to someone who works here!" Bad second impression. As we entered the dining room, we were struck by how simple and elegant it was - I wish I took a photo - and our server was most gracious, and greeted us in a warm welcoming style , and explained the ordering system. Duryea's is cafeteria style! What? Patrons order from the menu onto a list, walk from their table and present it to the cashier, then pay - including the tip - return to their seats, and wait for the server to bring the food to your table. This aspect really degraded the experience. Apart from being a food-runner, servers pour your water - that's it! This is not how a high-end restaurant operates, nor what good service looks like. The food was astronomically expensive and just alright - not worth writing about. The only good thing about paying in advance was we did not have to wait for a check - we could leave when finished eating. So we did! We returned home 2.5 hours later wishing we do not even give Duryea's a try. It would have been better if we did not honor the reservation and taken a $100 loss! read more

Here's the deal, you're not coming here for food that has prices that make sense. I'm talking $24 scallop crudo with paper thin sliced scallop (hysterical!), $100 lobster Cobb salad (fine can share between 2-3), and drinks that you have to get in pitchers for also $95. You do have to fill out the menu like an SAT test and hand deliver it when you're ready to order, but now, the vibes. You're coming for the vibes baby. I'd imagine most people around us were millionaires from foreign countries pulling up on their fancy yachts, so safe to say we fit right in with our jeans and tj maxx tanks. Overall, probably wouldn't come back but good experience, for the Hamptons culture. read more

I'm surprised seeing so many negative reviews , I've been here several times and always have a good experience. We always stop here before we take the ferry out of orient point. Cool atmosphere with a nice beach lounge area. The food is very good , no question. Oysters are fresh and a great selection. The lobster salad is excellent, it's what they're famous for and is great. Swordfish steaks are excellent as was the corn on the cob. Very expensive but for a rare treat on occasion it's worth it. This location isn't as pretentious as the Montauk spot which is filled with " tools" from all over NY. read more

Nice vibe and ambiance, but would not recommend for just two people due to the large shareable sizes and pitchers of drinks vs the option of single cocktails, it would have been much more ideal for us to have gone with a group vs date night. We were sat within seconds of arriving. Upon sitting at our table, we were given a piece of paper and a pencil to check off what we wanted. We had checked off a couple of different items that we wanted to try. We had ordered the lobster salad for $97, which I personally don't think was worth $97, it should be more around $60, and on that note, we felt it was a bit overpriced. Regarding drinks, we had each gotten a glass of wine - cocktails such as margaritas had only came in pictures for around $97. We had also ordered oysters, which I thought we were very good, and the tuna tartare. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I do not think that we would return unless we were going with a group! read more

Great venue, food was also good but its a total rip off for what you get. My wife had fun so I guess that's a plus but the system is not what you would expect when you pay 120 for a lobster cob salad. Sit down, get menu, get up and go to a window, pay (and tip before you even see if there is acceptable service). Its the vibe and view you pay for, enjoyable lunch with friends. They can do more for you for this price point for sure. read more

We are at the restaurant and split the lobster salad 3 ways. Salad was great with a ton of lobster. We also got the warm lobster roll and it was not very good. Stick to the salad and other seafood items. We also went and sat at the beach club after to drink some wine. Great vibes and loved that they had a DJ at both the restaurant and beach area. I don't know why this place has bad reviews. We loved it. read more

Ambiance = 5 STARS Food = 4 STARS SERVICE = 3 STARS Have you gone to one of those seafood restaurants in a vacation location where you have to go to a window and place your order and then someone bring your order to the table? Hence the 3 STARS. I don't want to go to a restaurant where I'm being charged a service fee but I'm not being served. The best part about this restaurant on my last visit. was the DJ, the location, and watching boats coming in for an early dinner. Will I go again? Yes. Is it worth the $? Perhaps not the $ but the experience. read more

Duryea's Orient Point - View from the dining room. - Seafood Near Me - Orient, New York

Food was beautifully plated and delish, expensive but worth it. I definitely take issue with their ordering method - fill out your own order, take to counter, pay and tip and wait to be served. Repeat if you want to order additional pita or drinks. For an upscale, pricey restaurant I expect decent service. Lobster Cobb easily enough for 3 or 4. The Mediterranean Hummus was excellent - but you'll have to order more pita. Beachy decor, open air dining with water views. Make a Resy. Closes after the season. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. read more

I knew the food was overpriced, but I was so looking forward to the meal and atmosphere with my kids and elderly parents. Unfortunately, it rained--but they have NO NUMBER to call. I tried to text and did not hear back until a few minutes after we arrived. They told us we could wait until 8:30 for our 6pm reservation. And, they were pretty rude about it. We ended up buying soft shell crabs and making them at home. Never going back read more

Complete non-sense, overpriced, under serviced, mediocre food, with zero personality.

Meh. Table for 6 to celebrate the grandparents' 44th wedding anniversary. Dropped almost $600 for a meal that was just fine. Oysters were good - a nice selection and flavorful. Kids shared chicken tender platter with a whopping 3 chicken tenders under about 2lb of fries for $19. Lobster Cobb Salad that I remember so fondly from the Montauk location had increased in price to $97. It is an ENORMOUS bowl of lettuce, with a few toppings and a so-so amount of lobster meat. We ate the top layer of lettuce with the toppings and left the bowl filled with lettuce. Grilled veggies were pretty good, corn was fine. Lobster rolls were pricey but had a good amount of meat. Service was friendly but you order yourself at a window, pay and tip, and return to your table then the food is brought out to you when ready. The location in Montauk is much more "impressive." I wouldn't return as there are plenty of other good options in the area. read more

This place was super pretty but Unfortunely the food didn't cut it. Not good at all... ended up spending way more money than I should have because of the minimum per person spending limit. I was still starving when I left the place.. had to get a SECOND dinner. Deff go for drinks and ambiance not for the food!!! read more

Ryan, the manager of the beach, is one of the most disrespectful managers I've ever met. He refused to give more than 4 of the 6 people in our parties chairs. I accepted this at the start, but when I saw him giving chairs to other people he was incredibly rude and stubborn. Here is a picture of all the available seats, instead he put my entire family on these miniature bean bags. Won't be coming back, and I'd suggest you steer clear of the beach. This place has gone downhill. read more

We went for July 4th and was pleasantly surprised by the stunning water views of the islands and local oysters at the Beach Club. We were seated along the water and felt like we were in Miami. The vibe was very mellow, but with a great mix of house and Latin dance music to give a nice cool ambiance. Finally, a place on the North Fork that can rival the Hamptons for being chic, fun, good food, stunning views and great people watching! I wouldn't be surprised if people start venturing to Orient because of this place, since Greenport is getting too crowded. If you're looking for a great view and vibe, go to the Beach Club, but be aware, this is not your typical Orient place. It is pricey and I think locals may think it's too expensive, but it seems the management is trying to primarily attract customers looking for something off the beaten trail and doesn't mind the high prices that you may normally find in the Hamptons or a place like Gurney's in Montauk. Just one tip to the management, the only reason we didn't give it 5 stars in the rating, was due to the website, which is poor customer communication. The website is not great and people cannot contact the restaurant, except for email. We wanted to make a last minute change to the reservation, but the phone number listed, goes straight to voicemail. Otherwise, everyone who worked at the Beach Club was great, especially our server Sarah. read more

Way overpriced subpar and mediocre food. Served in a snotty atmosphere with an attitude. Parking lot was pretty much empty when I went. The only customers there were the bling set from the Hamptons who came in their expensive little mini yachts. On top of that, they charge you $8 dollars for tap water! The cheapest glass of wine is $18! This is not the Hamptons and is NOT what the Nortfork needs. This restaurant is completely out of place and out of tune to what this community represents. It completely ruins what makes the Northfork different (and more genuine) from the Hamptons. Bear in mind, this restaurant is owned by a Wall Street Southamptonite. If you like throwing out your hard earned money and enriching the 1 percent even more, then go at it. read more

CHICKEN GATE First off nobody should ever eat here. Worst service I've ever seen in my entire life. The food was bad and the service was even worse. We ordered a gyro (you pay up front) and they brought everything out so late that most people in our party had finished eating the sub par food. They waited until after all of that mediocracy to say that there were no more gyros and asked for a replacement entree. We had an almost $500 bill so we were expecting the chicken to be free but they charged it. We talked to the manager and she preceded to snatch the chicken from the table after they put it down when we tried to protest the charge. The manager got snippy with us and needless to say we will never step foot in this establishment again. Horrible service and they should be ashamed read more

CHICKEN SNATCHED. I kid you not I waited 30+ minutes to receive my meal. All of my friends had already finished eating- and at the last second they told me they were all out of falafel gyros. I figured when they asked me for my meal replacement that it would be complimentary. I was horribly wrong. They charged me for the full replacement meal, and when I told the manager that I figured this would be complimentary due to the horrendous amount of waiting and lack of communication- that I may get the chicken for free. I proceeded to tell her I didn't want the $85 dollar chicken if I was going to be charged. THE MANAGER SENT A WAITER OVER AND THEY SNATCHED MY CHICKEN AWAY. I WAS LEFT WITH NO DINNER. THEY THREW OUT A ENTIRE ROAST CHICKEN. read more

The ambiance, service and food was amazing. At north east tip of Long Island this hidden gem was a great find. It has the Greece vibe and great music. It is pricey but worth it. Service was also great. We had to go to the register to place the order and pay upfront but they will bring the food and drinks to the table. Once you are done they have another beach lounge area with drinks and more food with great views. Highly recommended. read more

Duryea's in Orient Point is a very interesting place to visit. Riding the coattails of their extremely popular Montauk establishment, this restaurant opened mid-pandemic when people were aching to be out and about. Knowing that my previous experiences at Duryea's (MTK) were fun, I was excited to try this new location. Sadly, I felt that it was a massive letdown.... If you're planning on coming to Duryea's .. you already know you're paying a massive premium just to be amongst the "cool" crew with DJ beats banging in your ears.. whether you like it or not! Some thoughts: - 12 raw oysters :: must say, they were extremely fresh and nicely shucked.. - Warm Lobster Rolls :: warm is apparently a loose term... the roll I received had a layer of "tough" lobster meat on top with the lower half of the sandwich having a meager amount of "warmed" up lobster meat. Furthermore, it lacked that buttery mix of meat and dressing that makes these dishes most desirable. An absolute letdown, especially with the price... Service-wise, I wouldn't really call what we experienced service. Similar with their original location, you pretty much place the order yourself and the services are really just there to pour expensive soda water at your table or refresh your cocktails. They also charge per person for still or sparkling which I don't mind (as long as they're actually giving a portion of that to charity), but nonetheless something to keep in mind if you choose to dine here. Oh yea, they're also about to open up a "Beach Club" just in time for Summer 2023 to kick into full gear. I am sure it'll become a "hot spot" in no time read more

TLDR Pretty but bad service. You will be ignored It should be busier for a nice place on the water w not much else around. It's next door to a state park in summer and instead it's empty w a few families who came in for lunch after they docked their boats It's a beautifully done restaurant and there is a beach club on water's edge only open on weekends. It's very greek island vibes w lots of gorgeous details but it's trying so hard to be like a Hamptons hang out and the bad service to match 2 snobby hosts and the place is empty Sit at the bar for drinks even tho lots and lots of empty tables Lots of staff and they are just standing around scrolling their phones or chatting w each other acting like they are not at work Bartender stood over us and watched us pay bill - so awkward The host is fake friendly and when i asked to go to bathroom after we paid and took a walk to the beach bar he directed me to the shack outside instead of letting me go back into the restaurant. The bathrooms outside I guess for the Beach club and are clean and fine but it was rude I'm so glad I didn't eat here. And I tried. We sat at the bar. Ordered drinks and fries. Our waiter served me a flat Diet Coke and a beer - neither was filled to the top and threw a back pack on his shoulders and left us w no service and didn't say a word. We were at the bar surrounded by staff and could not get anyone to look at us to help us for 30 min. No joke I replaced the flat Diet Coke w coke - little better but still kinda flat FYI they don't have a full bar. Only wine and beer The fries never came. He just didn't put the order in ‍ $14 fries for 1 and $18 fries for a family - saw someone get a big basket of them The lobster cob looked nice served in a giant wood bowl. I guess it's a popular dish cuz a lot of people ordered it. Honestly it could be the worlds most delicious salad and I wouldn't come back cuz the service was just so so bad read more

Wonderful spot for delicious food, perfectly prepared (almost) in a lovely atmosphere. Is it expensive? it is, but the ample portions and excellent service explain what you are paying for. We had a tasty small plate of squid and clams in an addictive sauce, a trio of hummus's with pita - ask for extra pita, you are going to need it. Finally we had a delicious fried red snapper encircling a tasty salad. The snapper came with a slightly unsuccessful dressing, but it was still delicious read more

I wish I could leave zero stars, because this resturant deserves none. We came in as a group of 8, excited to try the food after receiving multiple recommendations of friends and family to come here. We ordered and the food did not all come together. Plates of foods came in every other 10 minutes. Finally everyone's food came in and my friend was still waiting for her food. At this point, everyone else at the table had already FINISHED their plate. She asked where her Falafel Gyro plate was only for them to tell her they did not have it anymore. From the very start, when we ordered, they failed to let us know about this leading my friend to order another dish. Her plate of chicken came and you would think because of the inconvenience it would be complementary, but was not. No apologies, nothing. My friend goes up to the manager to complain and receive an explanation. The manager was so rude, uncommunicative and decided to snatch the plate off the table. I have never seen this level of unprofessionalism and wasteful behavior. Food that was already prepared and cooked to be thrown in the trash. On top of that, everyone around us was getting great service but my table. We spent good money here and deserved better. Do better and DO NOT go here. read more

Went to their Beach Club- my first time here and was hesitant to even come here because of the low reviews but they definitely surpassed my expectations. Definitely great and responsive service! And the food and drink are great. Gotta get the calamari and octopus skewers.

Delicious food with beautiful water views of the bay. This place is NOT cheap. But, we live once. Right? Luncher's check off what they want off a menu sheet. You leave your seat and take your paper and your choices, and pay at a separate window. Your waiter is reduced to a food server. If you want another round you'll need to start over. I find the process ridiculous, time consuming and a pain in the ass. read more

Everything about this place was great. View was gorgeous, food was good, servers were friendly and helpful. I just can't help but feel like we're missing an opportunity here. If you've spent time in Europe and gone to their beach clubs it's just.... So awesome. This place is totally cultivating the vibe of scorpios in Mykonos but just hasn't gone full send. Scrap the restaurant aesthetic, Charge me $200 entry, and let's go full beach beds + outdoor shower or some other way to cool off. I'll spend the whole day here and pretend I'm in the south of France. Overall, they got like 60% of the way to my euro dream club (props on the vibey DJ) and I had a great lunch, but I'm desperate for a Long Island Nikki beach. You guys can be it! I'll give you all my money! PS if you're reading this, think it's a good idea, and have a food and beverage background message me. Let's start the Long Island beach club we all need. read more

I was placed in an extremely embarrassing and disappointing position by this establishment. It was my birthday and my boyfriend and I decided to travel to Long Island from Boston to celebrate. We booked a reservation 30 days prior and we were so excited to try the lobster Cobb salad while enjoying some drinks on the waterfront. We showed up on time to our reservation and once we approached the hostess she told us she could not seat us on the "beach area" because of my a service animal. I have a 15 lb hypoallergenic licensed service animal due to my seizure disorder. I then explained to the hostess the ADA rules and regulations and provided my service dog ID card. She did not take a peak at the card and continued to embarrass me in front of the other customers waiting to be seated. She told us to head to the restaurant hostess as they could seat us there instead. Once we got to that hostess she then told us we could not be seated inside the restaurant or deck area due to having an animal and they could seat us in the waiting area near the parking lot where other customers were waiting for their tables to be ready. It was an extremely embarrassing and awkward situation. They made me feel ashamed for having a disability that I have no control over and I just wanted to go enjoy the restaurant how everyone else could, not be seated on a bench in the parking lot. When I asked to speak to the manager they told me to sit over by the parking lot and after 25 minutes of waiting I just felt like my birthday was unfortunately ruined. Having a service dog draws attention and but sitting there for almost 30 minutes I felt like everyone was staring/whispering about the outcast shoved away to the outskirts of the restaurant. We then went on to go to Claudio's down the road and had a delicious meal and drink on the water, with our service dog and no questions asked. If you have a disability don't bother coming here. They will make you feel ashamed and unwanted. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews... I love ordering on the menu and walking up my order, some restaurants in Manhattan have also started doing this. If you are from the city (second home owner) or coming from the Hamptons, you know the deal, this place is amazing, upscale, beautifully decorated, beautiful people. The food, the ambience are fantastic. I'm thrilled they opened on the North Fork. My husband and I ordered the lobster cob salad for two. It was delicious, so large we couldn't finish it. We ordered a pitcher of margherita. There was such a nice breeze , the DJ was great (lounge music, not crazy club), the decor is beautiful and relaxing. The wait staff are nice and professional. I love the pitcher and the bottle of sparking water at the table , very European to do this, I absolutely hate when waitstaff interrupt my convo to pour water or wine, (leave me alone I can do it myself, thank you Duryeas). You are not rushed out or pestered by wait staff, perfectly relaxing and beautiful view of the bay and boats pulling into the marina. read more

Walking up to Dureya's you are instantly transported on vacation. Even the harshest of critics could all agree that this restaurant is stunning. Seated at a corner table, we felt relaxed and comfortbale yet the energy of the restaurant makes you feel special. Throughout our dinner the staff was friendly, accommodating, and checked on our table the right amount of times. We were never with an empty glass. We went to celebrate a birthday with a group of six so we were lucky to try many of the dishes. We started with a seafood tower and everything was perfect and delicious down to the dips for the jumbo shrimp and crab. Actually, speaking of dips.. any and all of their dips, dressings, and sauces on each of their dishes could be bottled and sold - they are truly that good. We tried the crab falafel croquettes, rock salt baked shrimp (my fav), and greek melon salad to start. Each dish that came to our table was plated for a photography shoot but so appetizing and flavorful that you had to dig in quickly and go back for seconds (and thirds). For mains we split the grilled lobster pasta and the lemon pepper chicken which had some of the best grilled vegetables I've ever had and that I continue to rave about (That grilled lettuce and crushed potatoes.....yum). If you are looking at this review, do yourself a favor and go and celebrate with your friends and family with a meal that will make you feel special on any night of the week. read more
