I enjoyed dinner here! The ambiance is stunning with beautiful decor. The outdoor patio offered amazing pool, cabana and lawn views. It was a quiet Tuesday evening enabling me to take it all in. The drinks and food were great, well seasoned and flavorful. The bar area is especially beautiful and I'd certainly come back for a cocktail! read more

Seasalt is the most unprofessional place - the food might be fantastic, but I wouldn't know because 3 hours before my reservation (on a busy summer weekend) they TEXTED me to cancel my 6pm reservation. Didnt even bother to pick a phone up. Apparently they had a "last minute party" (which they screwed over their existing reservations for) and wanted to push me to a dinner reservation at 7:45. I'm old. I don't eat at 8pm. if maybe they picked up a phone to apologize or speak to me, I wouldn't be as annoyed as I was, but apparently human communication is beyond their reach. So no- I don't think Seasalt is a place I would recommend. Plenty of other places in Montauk that value the people who take the time to make a reservation. read more

Watch out for Seasalt and SoleEast in Montauk, the restaurant engages in absolute deception. They lie about the price of the prix fixe dinners, and the fish portions are not only very small, but tasteless as well. read more

We came out for Saylor Movie Night on Sunday, and it was such a great experience. The servers came around throughout the movie taking food and drink orders, which made it easy to just sit back and enjoy the night. Watching Jaws out on the water was the perfect setting and made the movie even more fun. At the end of the night, everyone got to vote on which film they'd screen next, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it was an awesome way to spend a Sunday evening, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Another great dinner last night with my family. All 6 of us enjoyed our meals. As usual the service was great. I also find the prices to be reasonable. read more

Ambiance was great at this place the menu was very limited and "light" with mostly seafood which isn't bad but more variety would have been great. The hotel they located in was cool and ambience was top notch read more

DON'T EAT HERE Although our waiter was kind and fun, the overall service was extremely poor. We had to repeatedly ask for water and utensils, and the menu I confirmed in writing (for my large party) was not executed correctly. I understood and accepted the high cost going into this, but the value did not match the experience we received. The food was fine but extremely overpriced for what it was. And honestly, not that good. The Mediterranean plate was not good at all and the meat was chewy. For what we paid, the level of service and accuracy should have been much higher, especially for a special occasion. I never received a response to the email I sent to the manager explaining my concerns. Unfortunately, the silence solidified my feelings about the overall experience and that the service did not reflect the cost or the expectations we had based on prior communication. Overall the ambiance was fine but not worth the money. Would not recommend to anyone! I would rate a 0 if possible. read more

it is a hopping place. Great vibes. live music delicious food great friendly service great menu. had grilled octopus, monk fish fritto mistro and braised ribs. All came out piping hot. Great place for just a drink at the bar or an enjoyable dinner. read more

So I honestly didn't know how this was all going to pan out. I can here a bit trepidatiously as the reviews weren't that great, but it came highly recommend from a friend of mine who is a local of Montauk. I took my friend's reco and went and honestly, we had a great experience. The only reason why I'm not 5 stars all in here, the backyard piece of this place is the winner - the area out by the pool is magically lit and really quite beautiful, but it was far too cold and we had to dine inside instead and I wouldn't call the inside as equally of a beautiful ambiance and that was the let down for me. So if you can be outside that's where it really feels special. Overall, the food was very good. Tasty clam chowder that warmed me up on a cool night. The tuna was expertly seared and so delicious. Everyone was extremely happy with their meals. Would definitely come back, but make sure I'm outside :) read more

I'm glad I didn't go by the mediocre reviews. We had an excellent dinner here. It's a lovely outdoor space and all the servers were attentive. The roasted chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the creamy polenta was outrageously good. They also had a kid menu featuring steak & fries for $15 which was awesome for our little guy. read more

First time here and I think might have been the last day before closing. I was delighted to be able to bring my dog. I ordered the Hangover, which was short rib on a bed of potatoes, fried eggs and a spicy avocado tomatillo sauce. It was super delicious. My husband had the burger and he said it was delicious also, cooked perfectly medium rare. I stole some of his fries and they were perfectly salted hand cut fries. The service was interesting. Our waiter was attentive and funny. My impression was that he was pinch hitting for the regular wait staff but he did a fine job and he kept us laughing. Ambiance is nice. I noticed some people commented about the pool. Because we were here late in the season, there wasn't anyone in the pool. I don't think I would have minded. The main thing is that the food was very delicious. I hope it's as good the next time I'm back. read more

This restaurant is located in a hotel. We were seated for our reservation. Our server, Cooper was amazing. He was running crazy. There was a wedding going on prior to us getting there. So he was so kind to tell us that we couldn't place our food orders till 7:30. Which was fine. Then he came around and notified us that the kitchen was backed up. Which I thought was really professional. We were fine with waiting. We were talking to the table next to us. Our food came out in a normal amount of time. No delay. We had the hummus plate. Then my husband had the Monk fish I had tuna tartare and a side order of polenta. The food, the atmosphere were great. We will most definitely return Here, the next time we come out to Montauk! Cooper was very attentive to us. read more

We showed up with a large group and I was excited as it looked like a beautiful place. I won't lie-it was a little weird eating an expensive meal next to a pool full of people and people in sun beds next to me. It started off rough: with such a large group, only a few pieces of bread were brought out. When we asked for enough bread for everyone to have at least one piece-it took SO long and several reminders for bread to come out. Our water pitchers were empty most of the meal. We asked them to be refilled and then they were empty again and left empty. One item wasn't available from the menu-but we didn't find out until all the other meals came out. They did comp the new meal that was ordered, but the second choice didn't come out great either. I ordered a simple side instead of a full meal and it never came. But after watching how the rest of the meal was going, I never even said anything because I was done with the night. They may have been short staffed...who knows. But for a table that ordered seven steak dinners plus several other entrees and a very hefty bill...I was expecting much more. read more

Loved the ambiance and music. Great date night Place. Was in Montauk for July 4th weekend and this was a recommendation from a friend. Food was great but wished there was a bit more in serving. Had the Cavatelli Pasta and grilled octopus. The pasta had lobster meat, shrimp, Oyster mushrooms && it was phenomenal!!! The sauce was just right, too!! Grilled Octupus can be a miss or hit - sometimes tooo chewy, over grilled or that "fishhhy" taste....but this this was . Would 100% go back. read more

We had a great meal here in Columbus Day weekend!! Dirty martinis were perfection. Started with the artichoke Parmesan flat bread which was delish. We had the lamb ragú gnocchi. The gnocchi was light as air and perfection. The lamb was melt in your mouth! The capelini was rich, creamy and outstanding. A glass of wine while relaxing outside by the pool and fire pit was fun! The service was outstanding. It is the end of the season and it was fabulous! read more

I don't understand all of the negative reviews. Is it anything mind-blowing? No, but I think it's a very nice option for the area and is quite reasonably priced. We were a very large group (over 15) and were able to get a same day reservation over fourth of July weekend and were seated right away. We sat in the garden outside by the pool and the ambience was 10/10. Beautiful lighting, serene and peaceful. The servers were very attentive and nice, though some should learn a bit more about the menu (what is or isn't gluten free, etc.). We ordered a couple of bottles of wine, and other people were ordering cocktails. We shared a bunch of appetizers for the table, and people also ordered mains for themselves. The burrata was my favorite appetizer and I shared the steak with my friend as our main. The steak was pretty good (the potatoes and green sauce that came with it were very tasty) and was a fairly large portion, very shareable with the appetizers we ordered. We did not order any dessert as we were all full. Overall, for a large group, the location, scenery, and prices are on point. read more

Once the server finally attended to us, he did quite well. Maybe they were short staffed. We got the oysters again. There's dirt at the bottom of the ice buckets they give out that you can bring back to your room. read more

By far the worst service I have experienced in Montauk. We ordered a Chardonnay and a club soda. However, the waitress Sarah Q never brought it to us. Her demeanor was dismissive and rude. The swordfish was under cooked and had to be sent back. Had the restaurant been busy I would understand being checked up on less frequently, however, that was far from the case. Additionally, we were just offered the check, and not offered coffee or dessert, which I had to inform Sarah I would like an espresso. When the espresso was brought out she ran off without having a chance to ask for sugar. I asked one of the other employees if I could have sugar, but that was of no avail. I waited about 15 minutes until I was able to get a manager's attention to ask for sugar. By the time it was brought out the espresso was lukewarm. Extremely disappointing in the quality and service we received. I will not recommend this restaurant. read more

Went on Memorial Day since it was the only place we could get reservations. Wouldn't have gone out but it was my dad's birthday. Music was crazy loud at 6pm and took 3 people requesting to turn it down. Waitress was trying but was on 3rd day of job and had no idea what was going on. Food took forever to arrive, and was very mediocre. I thought they made a mistake cooking my tuna through all the way but then realized I waitress never asked me how I wanted it. All this is forgivable and sort of par for the course for MTK, but then a family next to use brought a dog inside. Which was fine, until the dog sat on a chair and ate at the table. The dog also climbed on top of the table several times and barked a few times as well, so there's no way the staff didn't notice. read more

Atmosphere is great but the food came out very wrong. We asked for the tuna rare and 3/4 of the tuna dishes came out well done. The service was mediocre at best read more

I came to Montauk a few weekends ago for my bachelorette party. My friend made a reservation here for 10 people. We had to wait 20 minutes for our table, despite making the reservation. We were then seated at a table for 8, when we had 10 people. We waited for about 20 minutes until the hostess addressed the issues and brought us more chairs. It then took awhile for a waiter to come to our table. The service was atrocious (both from the hostess/waiter). The food was good. The burrata appetizer, polenta side and truffle fries were delicious. I also enjoyed the rose' sangria. I would not come back here due to the atrocious service, despite the food being good! read more

Listen up: Im absolutely baffled by the bad reviews here. This is a wonderful restaurant - great food, excellent wine, great place to hang out. Never disappoints. We dine here regularly, and my wife is particular about her food and even more particular about her wine. And for the person who complained they didn't get enough bread - just ask for more. read more

Went at Si Si for 4th of July weekend and these guys are really doing it right. The hamptons aren't an easy location to deal when is that busy. When we arrived the valet greeted us with a smile guiding us through the main gate decored with flowers... Our server was Philip from Ireland and he was nothing but amazing suggesting the right items to pair with our wine!! The entire staff is engaging and hard working. What a View!...with sunset and luxury yatchs! We'll definitely come back next weekend or whenever we will have the chance! Bravo Si Si!! read more

My wife and I had dinner reservations here on a recent Friday evening as part of our honeymoon in Montauk. We arrived on time, were told they were clearing our table, and directed to the back bar to get a drink while we waited. It took about 15 minutes to get drinks (to be fair, it was a Friday night). We both had cocktails and they were good. When we checked back in, our table was ready. As we were seated, we were taken in by the relaxing and charming scenery. We also noted that all the staff were wearing masks and tables were properly situated. The rest of our experience was somewhat mixed. First, our server didn't seem particularly interested in us. He told us the specials then disappeared. When he was taking our order, he started to walk away from the table before we could finish (we wanted a fresh round of drinks). This could have been an issue with our particular server, or perhaps he was tasked with taking care of too many tables. It was just a bit odd, particularly in an intimate setting, to have a server not pay us much attention. As for food, I started with a salad and my wife the chowder, both of which were very good. For our mains. I ordered the special fish (it may have been black cod, I can't recall), which was solid but uninspiring. My wife had the roasted chicken which was similarly good but not great. The best part of the meal was undoubtedly the polenta served with my dish. My understanding is they do not offer dessert or apertifs as we were not offered any. The visuals and atmosphere of the Backyard are quite charming. However, the service and food don't quite match. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could and I'd consider returning depending on the circumstances. read more

This place really shouldn't label themselves as a restaurant as it's more a food / drinks option by the pool. Unless I was staying at the hotel, I wouldn't trouble yourself. Service wasn't awful but wasn't great either by any stretch of the imagination. Lunch menu was very limited and overpriced. Ambiance seemed like it was trying to replicate a pool party in Las Vegas with loud house music and horrible acoustics. Energy wasn't great either as the vibe was very jumbled (college scene combined with an older crowd). Lastly, the decor was non-existent as it looked like they gathered a few leftover seats to complete a table setting; place had ZERO charm. read more

Lots of fun & good food, not bad pricing for Montauk. Backyard seating area is beautiful

Felt compelled to write a review because I noticed the previous reviews haven't been great. I went here on Friday night with my boyfriend after a recommendation from our friends (locals who come often). First off, I really enjoyed the ambiance, both inside and outside. The outside is definitely the highlight, but the inside is super cozy and inviting as well. We didn't have to wait at all. Right when we got there, we were unhappy with where we were sitting since it was next to the bathroom and requested a change. The host was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made sure that we were taken care of. While waiting for a new table, we sat at the bar and chatted with the extremely friendly bartender who made us great drinks and had good recommendations. It made the wait that much more enjoyable. When we were finally sitting at our new table (in a great location in the back), our waiter was upbeat and excited to serve us. Food wasn't brought out too fast so we had time to sit and enjoy. I knocked off a star because of the food. It wasn't bad food, my tuna was tasty. It just, in my opinion, wasn't quite worth the price. Entrees were over $40 so I expected them to be incredible. I know everything around there is expensive, but the price should still be justifiable. While the food might not have been the absolute best in town, I'd come back for the ambiance and service. I'd especially come back just to sit at the bar and drink a bit. read more

One of the last real diners in this area. Amazing food and service. Chicken quesadilla with house Tzatziki (interesting combo) never disappoints. Fries are always great too. There's a lot to be said for a family run business like this and it satisfies Morning, Noon, and Night. read more

The staff were exceptional! The food was "family style," 4 of us and $800 later, the chicken would have been better at KFC and the tuna was overcooked. I would NOT recommend this restaurant read more

Right off the bat, I have to give huge props to the hostess on duty the evening we went. When our original reservation fell through at another restaurant, we gave them a call and they were able to accommodate our large party of 9 on a rainy Saturday night. As for the food, the best part was the warm french bread that took forever to come to the table. Everything else was just a little above average and the red wine we ordered was terrible (we asked for their best bottle). We were seated in the patio to get away from the DJ and blaring music inside. Even with the doors closed and the speaker turned off, it was super loud. And what seemed like every few minutes someone was coming in and out and slamming the door open and shut. Our server also referred to many of the women in our party as "love" or "sweetie" and that was a major turnoff. read more

Understood this is a particularly unique time to be enjoying a meal, or serving at a restaurant. I give the wait staff a lot of credit. However, I am giving this establishment a 2-star solely for the fact that lunchtime here is not as serene as promised by the positive reviews - especially on Open Table. I had zero intention of hearing loud club music, and to be surrounded by people at the pool doing whatever they please (no social distancing, how can you?). There was no separation of restaurant patron versus pool guest. For what you can get at this here, and the lack of decor, I would take your money elsewhere. I'm shocked that the reviews are so positive. Perhaps they all enjoyed the dinner ambiance. I was certainly underwhelmed. read more

Very reliable spot. Food is always good and the service is friendly. Very chill and not a scene.

1st night after a long drive to get to Sole East Resort ...we decided to dine at the restaurant "The Back Yard" on the premises. We ordered: Mediterranean Plate Wild Tuna Tartar Burrata Montauk Oysters All of which were incredibly tiny portions. The drinks were $13 ea. and sub-par at best. DRUNKS from the bar area were standing in the dining room at full volume while we tried to eat our $170 dollar meal! Wait staff was totally disinterested. Sad, because we were staying there for the week & would have been nice to have ENJOYED a few meals there. We will NOT be back again or recommend this establishment. read more

I went to this restaurant and the food was pretty good. What stood out to me, however, was the service. Every table was bussed so quickly it was mind boggling, done by an unassuming little girl. She was bussing, the food was bussin, and the experience slapped. 6/5 stars! read more

Food and service were great Paulie was the best i highly recommend patronizing, food was excellent!

Had a great meal on a Monday night at Backyard. Hadn't been in a while and didn't know what to expect. Wow! Great meal, ambiance (tables outside and around the pool) and service. For appetizers we had gazpacho soup with crab, mediterranean platter and arugula salad with goat cheese and cantaloupe. Yum! Entrees were just as good. Scallops seared to perfection, Rigatoni alla nonna (eggplant) and oven roasted chicken (really good). The restaurant was very accommodating for one of our party who has a dairy allergy. Service provider/waitress (Josette?) was great. All around fantastic experience. Don't know what it would be like on the weekends but for an weeknight it was awesome. read more
