Surfside Inn

Best Restaurant in Montauk by far. From the chef in the back to the staff in the front. We stayed in Montauk for 3 weeks and this is the only place (besides Shagwong) where we went 3 times. Food was fantastic from the Duck, to the German Night Sauerbraten, to the BEST clam chowder around. Thanks for great food and service...

Surfside is the best restaurant in Montauk. Not only is the menu more extensive ,with many more excellent choices than the other restaurants ,but the food is delishous as well. The view of the ocean from the outdoor or indoor seating is spectacular with a high chance of seeing dolphins or whales jumping out of the water. The service is warm and friendly and the gracious and friendly owners are on site to be sure you are enjoying their place as well as telling a joke or making you smile with a story or two. The dining room is beautifully appointed and the fireplace area by the bar is whimsical and comfortable. I am a local and cannot say enough about how much I love this restaurant. The bartender is the best and if you go solo,as I do, he is always willing to get to know you and chat.

We just dined at the restaurant and it was OUTSTANDING! Not only was the food and drink highlights, the Head Waiter, Devon, made our dinner meal the BEST! He has such a wonderful personality and engages each guest as if they are the most important ones there! His signature cocktail of watermelon vodka martini and coconut martini were a delicious way to start off the meal. Don’t miss the mussels, dumplings or burrata salad. Had the lobster ravioli and it was to die for! A wonderful setting with Devon as a waiter and the delicious food combined for a really memorable evening! Thank you Devon!

We come back to this place every time we visit Montauk! The view is spectacular, but it's the food and drinks that keep us coming back. Lobster ravioli, Halibut, Steaks, the fabulous chocolate cake were all favorites. The spicy margarita and the espresso martini were both awesome. The marg might be my number one ever. Thanks for the exceptional service too.

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby and happened upon this place for a fantastic early dinner. We were sat at a lovely table out front with a beautiful ocean view despite not having a reservation. Drinks were spot on. Our server Spencer was quick and attentive. We ordered a lobster cake appetizer special, linguini and clams, and a fried scallop “basket” special. Everything was perfectly prepared and fresh. It was clear that the staff at this restaurant go above and beyond. There was just a good energy amongst them and it definitely could be felt.
