All around amazing! Food was delish but the service was on point. The live music was a bonus.

My husband and I went for a date night last night and we were both so happy. The service, the beautiful ambiance on the water and the food was delicious! read more

Besides the amazing view, saying Chris was amazing server us an understatement!!! He checked on us frequently, was knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended a lovely after dinner wine! He was friendly, smiled and just genuinely cared and was awesome. If you go, ask for him as your waiter, you won't be disappointed! The food was also fresh, came out in a timely fashion, as well as the cocktails were delicious. Definitely run to this spot! read more

Our experience at the View was absolute perfection from start to finish. We went with the wedding package they offer, and every vendor was a pleasure to work with. The extended cocktail hour was delicious, plentiful and our guests are still raving about it. The service was outstanding from the bartenders, maître d, and waitstaff. Weddings can be stressful, but I did not have to worry about a thing the day of because they are so coordinated and organized. The views are also breathtaking right on the water on the south shore. I highly recommend the View as a wedding venue. read more

Had a lovely evening on Long Island, service was spectacular, professional and friendly. Food was delicious, simple old world seafood tower stated us off, followed by bisque and perfect entrees. Dessert too was delicious. But being Long Island was not inexpensive to say the least. Dinner for (2) was $380 but we enjoyed every second, and yes we had Prosecco and gin cocktails.... read more

Visiting Long Island for a wedding, found this spot on open table. The food and service were fabulous. I had the stuffed clams for a starter and the blackened tuna over black rice for my main. Both were very flavorful, maybe a bit salty on the tuna, but overall great. The wine list was serviceable. The actual view lived up to the restaurants name, a great evening on the water. My one caution: we went on a Friday night, if loud music isn't your thing, call ahead to see if they have a band playing. The band was really good, but we weren't looking for that type of vibe. read more

The only good thing about this restaurant is the view. Went on a Saturday and was told they only had the bar menu available. The dinner menu started at 6pm. The bar menu had only 6 items which we thought how bad can it be? There's a burger, baked clams and penne alla vodka. Very mistaken the burger was nothing to rave about. The penne alla vodka had no flavor what so ever. It was definitely not worth $26. Even though, the place was not busy the service was not good. Took forever to get our drinks and food. Would never go back, not worth the money for bad service and flavorless food! read more

The View, besides its name, it offers the best views the Oakdale marina has to offer! Last week, me and my dad were invited to a birthday dinner party. The ambiance, decor and food service were outstanding. The staff catered to all our needs. I was impressed by the simplicity of the food and drinks menu. We started with the cheesy toast, along with the best garlic herb butter I've ever had. People kept asking for more! Then I tasted the fried calamari with the sweet and spicy chili sauce. It was crispy and delicious all at once. The sweet heat kept everyone asking for more! I also enjoyed a glass of white wine. For the main course, I had the Chicken Florentine with a scalloped potato (yummy!) and creamy, cheesy spinach. My dad really enjoyed his Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon dish. A good number of people at the dinner party also had Filet Mignon. From beginning to end, everything that was served tasted incredible. The vanilla ice was excellent. Once again, I was very impressed by the simplicity and elegance of View restaurant. We will definitely come back for more. read more

Had a baby shower at the View and couldn't have been happier. The service and food was awesome. When the party was over they did not rush us out like some places do. read more

Came here for my first anniversary with my wife last night and the service was amazing. From the waitress to the bartenders, all the way to the manager Jon. Everybody was great and the food was spectacular. The name says it all. We had an amazing view from the dock and couldn't have asked for any better. Thanks again to the manager Jon. This is an anniversary I'll never forget. read more

Food was very yummy. I had the lobster pasta, we had calamari for appetizer which was also very good. Service was great, one thing was a bit off putting the, the chef requires both appetizers and entrees to be ordered at the same time. As someone who always struggles with deciding what to have that kinda sucked to have to rush. But the choice I made was great. Ambiance beautiful date night atmosphere also great for a larger party like a baby/wedding shower or anniversary. The place is right on the water! read more

Awesome location and view of the water. Service was good and so was the food! Had the lobster bisque and seared scallops with lobster truffle risotto. Wanted to lick the plate clean! read more

In full disclosure, my wife and I married at View in 2002, and have dined there frequently especially on/ near our anniversary. Tonight we enjoyed a particularly delicious dinner, enhanced by the delightful service by Jessie. She took care of us with an undiminishing smile and upbeat spirit. We enjoyed one of our favorite starter dishes, the Thai chili sauced fried calamari. Our mains were the Shrimp Cobb salad for my wife, and a new dish to me, Scallop and Shrimp pasta with garganelli pasta in a cream and cognac sauce. This was very good, with bacon, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes; similar to a carbonara preparation but not so rich, and it was very tasty. We continue to enjoy View's location on the Great South Bay, the superb staff across the house, and the talented and consistent kitchen teams. read more

The View has amazing food, service & outdoor seating! Sunset Sunday is a must! I highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time. Great cocktails. Great apps. Calimari was amazing. Great shrimp. Lobster role was delicious and so was the desert. All 4 of us loved it. Service was fantastic and attentive. Still hate the "order all at one time" but we actually stayed around for 2.5 hours and weren't rushed at all so they did it well. The place is beautiful and the patio is gorgeous. All things considered, I think it was very fair value for the vibe view and decor. This place is high end and we walked out at 200$ a couple which was super fair!! read more

Had dinner there on a recent Saturday night. Pretty setting but extremely overpriced for the quality of the food and for the amateurish service. The smallest piece of Halibut I've ever been served at a restaurant ($42). Asked for French fries instead of the included vegetable. Not possible, no substitutions. Ordered the fries anyway ($9) and they tasted as if they just came from the freezer. Five people at our table and all thought the setting was great but the food was meh... read more

We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jon Barrios and Jimmy Hahn! They nailed all of our visions. There is not one thing we would change about our wedding day. We enjoyed every single moment from start to finish. Jon goes above and beyond to make sure that there is not a stress or a worry for the couple. The staff truly makes you feel like you're royalty and that they genuinely care about your happiness. The day was filled with gorgeous views, delicious food and drinks, and so much love and fun! I am forever grateful to the staff at View for making our day picture perfect. read more

The name accurately describes the place They list me at $6 for a basket of 4 microwaved rolls. Eh at best.

Love this restaurant! Go every time I'm on Long Island! Highly recommend sitting at the bar and trying their happy hour apps! read more

View is located on the Marina and commands a great view of the channel. My work group went here for lunch and had a great time. We didn't have a reservation but they accommodated us without much problem, moving tables to fit us in the covered deck section of the restaurant. Though it was a cold afternoon we were very warm with the heaters. Staff here were very nice and attentive, approaching problems very practically. The food was fairly good. I'm not sure the price was justified but everyone enjoyed what they had and the portion sizes were good. I got the View bowl with shrimp which was already relatively expensive at $21 plus and it only came with 3 prawns. Granted the bowl tasted good and the shrimp was well cooked, they definitely leaned on the sushi rice to fill you up instead of a decent protein portion. Definitely will avoid this meal next time and try the Cuban, it looked great. Good place to host a large group and great staff, definitely worth a visit. read more

Staff, service, food, and greeting when we arrived by sea...all amazing! We hadn't been here for quite awhile and were wowed...beautiful spots like this tend to rest on the view but this View didn't disappoint in any category. Thanks especially to Jesse! read more

Not the type to write a Yelp review and would normally praise this restaurant up & down. My family loves coming here for Sunday brunch when I am visiting town. Their food is fantastic. The scenic views are great. - However, with my favoritism of the View, I was very surprised and disappointed with the outcome of a "giveaway" they held. Back in the Summer (2021), they had posted a giveaway on their Instagram - And I won! (Or so I thought). They reached out to me via instagram, where I provided them with my parents home address to send the giftcard, but it was never received. Followed up about 2 months later and was told they would look into it. I never heard anything since! Not quite sure if this was a mishap on their part, or if the giveaway was just a Social Media marketing ploy. FYI. read more

I had the swordfish my husband had filet mignon. Neither had any taste, including the side dishes that came with it. They couldn't even cook my husband's steak properly. The views are beautiful, but not worth the price when you're getting tasteless food. We will never go back there again. read more

Garbage food and service. Terrible sandwich and lobster rolls, son said burger was good. Way overpriced, many better waterfront restaurants. Will never go back. read more

Food is always 10/10 no matter what you order on the menu. And Jonathan, one of the managers is an absolute pleasure each time we see him as he goes above and beyond when it comes to service & hospitality!! read more

We went to the Sunday Brunch today and was totally disappointed. We were at the 12:30 seating. Aside from feeling like all that was on the buffet were almost empty trays of food, everything was not really hot, and most of the dishes had very little taste. We also felt like we were being rushed to leave, with the hostess constantly looking over at our table to see if we were done. I would not recommend this over priced mess of leftover food. Unfortunately this is not what we remembered from the past. read more

I've been here for dinner and it was delicious. I would give that dinner experience 4 stars. Today, I came for brunch and it was just okay. The food was rather bland and they did not provide as much of a variety as some other buffet brunch places. The sushi was extremely salty and the crab legs were small and rubbery. However, the restaurant is on the water and provides a beautiful view. Since it was rainy and chilly, we did not sit outside, but it must be very nice in the summer. Valet parking is provided, but not mandatory. read more

Beautiful place with stunning views (especially during sunset) and delicious food! Highly recommend!

The service, Ambiance and Food are amazing. Staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating.

Amazing food and experience. Highly recommend!!! Brunch is exceptional but apps and drinks outside with music makes for a great sunday.

I don't even know where to start. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! The view is awesome, no doubt about that. But for the money I paid I expected a great meal. Our two main dishes were terrible. The Atlantic Halibut was very thick and totally over cooked. So dry it was hard to swallow. I am pretty sure it was frozen fish. Add to that the fact that there was no seasoning. No taste. The Montauk Swordfish was juicy but again literally had no taste. I don't want to eat at a restaurant where I have to grab the salt and pepper shakers to try to make the food edible. The side lobster risotto was pitiful. There were two pieces of lobster that measured 1/8 of an inch at best. Told the waitress we were disappointed in the food. All we got was sorry . Overheard a conversation at the table next to us. They were eating the crème brûlée and they said it was just ok, not that good read more

a nice balanced menu. food was excellent and good value for the dollar. service was top notch and it was quite clear that the staff was well trained and enjoyed doing what they do. we are avid diners and the view will now be listed as one of our favorites, and will go back again soon. big fan!!! read more

Happy hour and dinner was awesome! Band was great!! The bartenders and Tara did a great job.

This post is 2 weeks overdue for The View in Oakdale - OUTSTANDING !!! On a Saturday evening, 6 pm (busy time), I called to see if they might be able to squeeze in 2 people. Speaking with Jessie, letting him know we'd be there in 15 min - he said he'll fit us in. We arrive, ask for outside, and oops that might be difficult. But no, Jessie fit us in at the perfect table outside (with our very own palm tree) and we enjoyed an extremely delicious meal with a fabulous view. It was not our first visit to The View, but it was our first time to meet General Manager Jessie and he truly cares about his customers. Can't wait to go back !!! Please give them a try, I'm certain that you won't be disappointed!!! Ohhh, ok, food review - Would get all of these again for sure ... * Lobster Bisque - in my top 3 * Seafood platter - perfect amount for the hubby, fresh, cold, just the way it should be * baked clams - chopped, seasoned just right, 3 was a good portion (but I might order two next time) * chopped salad, added grilled shrimp (I might add grilled shrimp two times also). Go ... enjoy ... and have a happy summer !! Sincerely, Eileen PS - my first yelp review. I hope I attached the correct photo read more
