Beautiful location with stunning views, be sure to call and reserve a table for two on the front deck. Lovely menu with a variety of choices. The drinks were great and not watered down and were full of flavor. All of the dishes that we ordered were made exceptionally well and perfectly balanced. Will return! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Montauk over many years of visits. Delicious food, strong inventive cocktails, lovely service, beautiful landscaping and killer views overlooking the ocean. For our latest dinner we chose daily specials (lamb chops/mashed potatoes/asparagus; and scallops/risotto), both dishes were amazingly good. Lamb chops were thick, nicely charred and not the least bit gamy as is sometimes the case. Service is always fun and friendly. We were thrilled to learn that they're open 7 days a week now! Reserve by analog phone and enjoy the old school vibes. read more

Waiter was great his name is Rodger. The tuna special was terrible. It was dry with no taste. My wife said I should return it but did not want to get Rodger in trouble. The sweet potato fries were delicious. And the water with lemon was excellent. But No I will not go back. read more

Went with a reservation. Service was excellent! Drinks were good. The toasted marshmallow martini was really good. The watermelon one was ok. Bread was good! Baked clams were good. Nice and juicy under neath! I had the lobster which was good. My husband had the Tuna. Everything was excellent! Nice views! read more

What a great dinner experience we had. Excellent friendly service. Very good diverse menu. Prices are as expected for this area... "if you have to ask" The sunset dinner on the deck is fantastic with great a distant wide view of the Atlantic Ocean. Whales, seals, and dolphins are a possibility! Very quaint place and awesome for adults looking for a very nice dinner with good food. Everything prepared perfectly to request and excellent drinks too. Would come back for sure! read more

Very good food with good service. Trevor was our server this time. (He wasn't born in Jamaica). Ambiance is great and there's also a great view of the ocean. read more

This is the best restaurant in Montauk. I am a local and always recommend this as the only restaurant to go to for a varied menu with many delicious choices, beautiful ocean view with dolphins and an occasional whale spotted, excellent, warm wait staff and bartender, elegant dining room and porch with cozy fireplace area near the bar and sweet owners watching over and providing a joke or a story to make you smile. Prices are moderate for Montauk and for the truly enjoyable food and friendly atmosphere !!! My only go to place in Montauk. read more

Excellent dinner. I had the ribs and my wife ordered lamb chops special. It was excellent!

Love this place! Drove past it for seven years that was a mistake - view is great as well as yummy drinks

Food delicious Service outstanding Decor and overall ambiance is timeless, understated and just what we come to montauk looking for. A little peace and quiet. The boneless 1/2 Long Island duck was perfectly cooked. The lobster cake was excellent. We will return for more. read more

Excellent food and a very professional and attentive wait staff highlight this ocean front hidden gem. The downside, like many other places in Montauk is that they are pricing themselves out of the market. $20+ salads and $60+ entries are the norm. It makes this place a once a summer spot. read more

Wonderful menu. Lots of interesting choices. The wait staff was attentive. I loved the Long Island duck. Don't miss the mud pie for dessert. read more

Great Find! We ate there twice! We originally had a reservation for only last Thursday, but because we could not get into the Inlet Restaurant at 7PM last Tuesday we decided to take a chance to see if we could get a last minute reservation that same day. We lucked out and they were able to accomodate us at 8:15 pm. I ordered the duck with orange marniere sauce and my husband ordered a cranberry pecan salad. It was the best duck and orange sauce that I have ever eaten! Devon was our waiter. He was outstanding! On Thursday we had a reservation at 6:30. Since we had eaten a late lunch we called and asked if our reservation could be moved to a later time. They were again accommodating and gave us a 7:30 reservation. I decided to order the duck again since it was so delicious and my husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs. For dessert, my husband ordered vanilla bean icecream and I ordered the creme brulee. I highly recommend this restaurant and will go back on my next visit to Montauk. read more

You need reservations, the locals fill in quickly around 7. I love food served properly seasoned so you don't need to add salt or pepper and cocktails are perfectly prepared. Wait staff is friendly and Devon the waiter is quite the character. chef has a great hand with the fish dishes and prices are as expected for Montauk. We got in on their last seating for the 2022 season, they're closed Columbus Day until spring. See you next season. read more

One of the best restaurants in Montauk hiding in plain sight on Old Montauk Highway. Surfside is an Inn and a restaurant. This review is for the restaurant although the reviews for the Inn are also excellent. Montauk in the summer and it is difficult to get a reservation and forget about walking in anywhere and expecting to be seated. We were staying at Hartman's and asked about the possibility of having dinner nest door a Surfside. They said should be no problem give them a call. Of course that raises doubts so we give Surfside a call and they said no problem 7:30 dinner. Now I'm really figuring this place must be a dive or a ptomaine palace. Foolish doubting Dan the place is spectacular in every way just not "discovered" yet. Light and bright with seating inside or out. The outside seating has a view of the ocean across the street. We were seated promptly inside water, drinks, menus and smiling faces. Food was excellent Asian vegetable dumplings, Maple roasted pecan salad and both surf and turf on the menu. We had Ahi tuna and an order of Savanna style shrimp which is shrimp and Andouille sausage sautéed with peppers and other goodies. Go, enjoy, before it gets overrun. read more

Shhhh. Best kept secret in MTK. Have been here twice - once for dinner and once for brunch/breakfast. The owner welcomed us when we arrived. He does have a sarcastic sense of humor, and we found him funny. They allowed us to brings our own wine. (Love this!) Service was good. However if you are in a rush, this is not the place to go. The view is just spectacular! Seriously spectacular! There is valet parking. In side and outside seating options available. Food was perfectly cooked! Fair warning: MTK prices (though not as bad as some) The rolls are as good as one reviewer posted. For dinner our group had: Mozzarella and tomato salad - HUGE stack of cheese and tomatoes, tender greens in the side, balsamic glaze BLT salad - we shared it. The salads are def big enough for two! Yum! NE Clam Chowder - very good. Not too thick. Had good flavor. Scallops - cooked perfectly Pasta bologna - rich and thick sauce Lamb chops -thin lollipop, homemade mint sauce, tender spring beans. They brought us dessert - tartufo/ice cream and key lime pie. Great evening. Breakfast is just as good. Can't go wrong any choices! read more

The best restaurant in Montauk. Anything you order is sooo delicious along with a good service. Owners are very lovely people. 1000000/10

My daughter and i enjoyed a delightfully peaceful meal here. While they don't have many vegan-friendly options on the menu, our lovely waitress Helen was helpful with talking with the chef and ensuring a nice meal for my daughter of Asian Vegetable Dumplings and vegetables. Meanwhile, i had a beautifully cooked Roasted boneless 1/2 Duck with Grand Marnier Sauce, Wild Rice & beautifully cooked asparagus. The wine list was just adequate but the inspiring view, attentive service and tasty food won our hearts. read more

Delicious food and cocktails. Was seated right away. Great, friendly service! Was not rushed thru. Music in lounge area, outdoor and indoor seating with a great beach view and ocean breeze. . Cozy well decorated large area. Great dinner and sunday brunch menu- this chef is a gem! The staff was so accommodating and service with a smile. Our 3rd visit back was as good as our 1st. - will definitely return on next trip next month. Tom and his wife are great hosts! read more

If it wasn't for the spotty service, this place would surely get 5 stars for the ambiance and most importantly the food! The waitress dropped used cutlery and managed to spill over my friend's shirt! She apologized but didn't offer to bring extra napkins or club soda to remove the stain. We had to ask multiple times for more water as well which was annoying as well. The bread they bring out is OUT OF THIS WORLD! It's crusty on the outside and doughy on the inside with a nice yeasty taste (does that make sense? Lol) I managed to control myself enough to enjoy the mussels, baby back ribs, and a bite of my chicken pillard. Everything was delicious! The rib sauce was so good I kept stealing some from my fiancé's plate and dipping fries into it lol. Definitely a great meal! read more

What a great experience. The meal was amazing. I had the haddock special and my wife had the lobster roll. Devon our server's who's worked here for 10 years was great. The prices are high and the speed is relaxed, but we're on vacation. No doubt we'll be back during our trip. read more

Local. But Saturday in Montauk is a new experience. Arrived at opening, 5pm with a mandatory valet parking. Walked into the restaurant to a gruff "wha you want?" Dinner if possible I responded. "Do you have a reservation". I look around empty no I'm wrong - 1 table out of possible 20 inside at least 10 outside. Uhh "no". "Wait a second". A moment latter my party of three was sitting at a two topper. Place is empty. It's now 45 later and there is 3 more tables occupied. Another couple enters and is shown a 2. topper they complain and given a different table. Maybe I should have complained. Haven't received food yet so can't comment on it. Place is lovely. I guess I'm thankful to be seated. read more

Couldn't really be more disappointed. I'm really very into a great vibe and the owner couldn't have been nastier. Food is good, prices are consistent with Montauk and service was good. Still won't come back because of the horrible attitude from the owner. What a shame. read more

Dined here mid summer. Arrived close to closing and was treated very well and not rushed. No complaints about the food. Tasty, fresh and well prepared. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended, especially if staying next door. read more

We just came back from a week in Montauk and last night was the best dinner for me. Halibut spinach mashed potatoes and asparagus was a special. It was excellent especially the little pieces of watermelon sprinkled on top. Beautiful view, sat outside on porch, service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

When the owner sits at the bar and degrades her staff while watching television, shouting at the staff loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear, "serve that table fast because I don't want to be sitting here all night for just one table". Well, that is just a disgusting display of customer service at best. It's truly sad when I see restaurant owners bust their buts night after night and bend over backward just to get customers in their restaurants, and than to witness such arrogance and disrespect by this owner is sickening. I can honestly say I have never been treated this rude ever, let alone in a restaurant where customer service should be the price of admission. Too bad because the staff was very professional and apologized for her behavior several times. I can only guess she doesn't need the business, which is fine because she will never get mine again!! I can only say that as I write this I am still just completely stunned by the experience. Never again!! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. My husband was brought the wrong dish. They apologized and took it away. They took mine away also. I assumed that they would prepare my dish fresh as is was halibut which does not sit well. When they brought the correct dish back for him ( 10 minutes later)they also brought me my same exact dish. They didn't even bother to reheat it! Needless to say it was cold and nowhere near the quality for which we paid. For the price ( which was outrageous) I was extremely disappointed. The owners give the impression that they don't really care about their business. My advice would be to let someone who wants to open a quality restaurant take over. The view is very pretty but does not compensate for the lack of quality control. There are many great restaurants in Montauk. This is just not one of them. read more

this was the most polite service ever. the food was absolutely delicious! they had a very clean enterior. i enjoyed this experience with great service. read more
