I went with a large group. Was easy enough to get a table on a Saturday morning in mid September. I had already eaten breakfast because you never know how long it’s gonna take to get a big hungover group to breakfast. The girls did not like their egg sandwiches ! I ordered a Bloody Mary which advertised bacon on it, I did not need the bacon but they did not include it so I asked for it because it was advertised. I had the cocojune yogurt

I’ve been waiting to try this place for so long and I’m happy I did! Vibes here are amazing. Staff is super friendly. The lattes were 10/10! Food was great too. Burger was cooked to perfection.

A favorite spot for decades. Last time we visited the wait was about 30 mins but we grabbed a counter spot by the bar right away. The vibe was fun for a Saturday afternoon. Everyone having a great time at the bar talking to each other. I noticed how they were cool with allowing dogs. That’s a note worthy plus. I recommend the Bloody Mary. Very yummy, strong too! Hit just right. The breakfast sandwich and pancakes were delicious too!

My previous review holds! Last night was just as good as the first one our annual trip. The scallops were outstanding. Our server Michael was great. Last year I wrote: Hands down one of the best dinners I’ve had in Montauk. Don’t miss the crab cakes or the short ribs. Their take on a kale Caesar is delicious. Coconut bread pudding is to die for. Plus outstanding cocktails and great atmosphere with good live music. Highly recommend

I ate here 3 times during my Montauk stay. And it was yummy all 3 times. Twice for breakfast. You’ve got to try the French toast latte, egg sandwich and pancakes! Dinner I literally got a burger but I’m a burger lover so it really hit the spot. I will continue to visit this restaurant when I visit Montauk. More videos and photo reviews on my insta @melissaetn

Delicious food and drinks in a lovely setting. A la carte but with specials too. The team was so fun and welcoming, special shout out to Virgil, Michelle, Alex, Leo and Molly - almost too hospitable. We enjoyed it so much we returned the next night (the trivia night is good fun if you get a chance to join).

Amazing food and bartender! We had lunch here and went back for happy hour. The crab cakes were fabulous and the salad was fresh with a perfect dressing. The bartender is a gem - expertly mixing cocktails with freshly squeezed juices. Don’t miss this next time you’re in Montauk.

Christmas highlight!! We dined here as were staying over the road at Daunts Albatross and it was an absolute highlight. The menu was a temporary Xmas pop up : Japanese-French-fusion, and was absolutely delicious! We highly recommend the edamame which had so much flavor, the stracciatella and the crudo. If you love a rich dish - the wagyu steak sandwich was great! The festive cocktails are also hard to beat - the Getting Figgy With It and Son of Blitzen were super sweet, flavorful and strong Will be coming back before we leave Montauk to try out the other dishes!
