Know that there is picnic table seating outdoors on nice days or a pretty big parking lot to enjoy your meal. I'm sure it gets packed during peak summer hours. The portions are huge! For 3 people we ordered lobster bisque, tuna bites, lobster Mac and cheese, a tuna poke bowl, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. Everything is made fresh to order and it was delicious! Literally the best lobster bisque I ever had. And the tuna bites were so unique - fresh tuna, breaded and deep fried. We aren't local but we will be back every time we are on the east end. The owner was also really nice and we wound up talking about camping in the area and things to do during the summer. Super friendly and welcoming!

That said, the food here is really fresh and the staff are incredibly nice. We kicked things off with New England Clam Chowder, Kickin Crab Corn Chowder and Lobster Bisque. The New England Clam Chowder was really delicious, one of the best I've had out here. Lobster Bisque was just okay for me, the Kickin Crab Corn Chowder was true to its name with a nice kick. We also had steamers which were fresh and delicious, and a softshell crab sandwich that was fried to perfection. Pricey but hey, it's Montauk. I wish I'd been hungrier because their tomato lobster special sounded out of this world. Everything was really solid. I'd come back.

Truly, the cocktails and menu at this restaurant are so inventive and flavor packed it feels as if there has to be something supernatural happening in the kitchen and behind the bar. We came here in early May and sat at the bar. Dillon took great care of us, walked us through the menu and made stellar recommendations all around. After having my mind blown by the Everything Bagel Martini, we moved on to share the charred octopus and Leggy's Thighs. The charred octopus was tender, and paired so well with the citrus fruits on this plate, plus the bite of pistachios?! So well put together. Leggy's thighs (RIP Leggy) were literally the best chicken I'd ever had, fall off the bone tender and topped off with flavorful furikake and hot pickled fresno chilis. We also split the Wagyu sando which I'm literally still thinking about. Wagyu on milkbread?! What an excellent idea. Live acoustic music was going on the night we were here which really added to the cozy ambiance. They also have trivia here on Thursdays (Dillon, if you're reading this, we hope your team wins the championship). 10/10 no notes. Come here if you can get a table.

The waitress was rude and we felt as if we were bothering her by asking for a cup of coffee. At the end I asked for a plastic bag and the hostess was exteremly rude. She said No, we only have paper, and didn't get it for me until I asked again her for a paper bag. She then walked into the back, I followed, and talked about me as if I couldn't hear her, to her staff. It was so disrespectful, will NEVER go back. Good luck to them and their new way of doing things. Terrible service.

Service - 3/5 - fine service, nothing remarkable. Ambiance - 4/5 - chill vibe with live music. Overall - 4/5 - place turned out to be much better than anticipated. Food was incredibly tasty, good variety, and fine portions. Smashed potatoes and lamb sliders were awesome. Service was fine, fast but nothing beyond that. Ambiance was nice with the live music. Although could've been some breaks here or there with it, it created a nice spot. Would definitely return. Best Dish - Smashed potatoes and lamb sliders Would Return - Definitely

Super Fantastic food!…read more From the outside kind of looks like laid back casual taco spot! Inside very causal yet cool surfer vibe. Service and margaritas were great. Not fancy! Laid back, casual! The menu and what came out of the kitchen was exceptional and "5" worthy alone. We had some sushi grade tuna tacos with crispy wonton style shells. The tacos were dressed with all the right flavors and additions you would expect from a top sushi joint. Excellent! We also had Moroccan spiced lamb sliders! Wow good! Perfect! Go to the Gig Shack just to get this! 100% worthy the trip. Id say the menu is somewhat surfer-fusion with California taco influence. There are lots of options. We are glad we tried Gig Shack and will return. Highly recommended casual, cool vibe location, with fantastic food!

Once we were seated at our table, we net our incredible waitress, I believe her name was Amelia. She was beyond helpful in letting me know exactly what I could eat and truly went above and beyond. We got the mezze platter with a crudite (the pita isn't vegan). I ordered a yummy vegan pasta and they even brought out a vegan sorbet with a bday candle. My non-vegan friends all loved their food as well! She was so kind and even gave us tips on where to go out for my birthday after dinner. Service is so hit or miss these days and we all really appreciated how well we were taken care of. Can't wait to come back!

The lawn area has lots of seating and areas to talk/hang with your people! Now for the food, it was very good. The fried mozzarella was not like mozzarella sticks, it was literally a fried block of mozzarella. The marinara sauce it was in was to die for. I would def order this again. For entrees, my friends got the mussels and the seafood pasta - both received high remarks. As a vegetarian, I got the butternut squash salad, which was very tasty and a side of mashed potatoes. Overall, the food was very good. Definitely a vibe spot, I would come back again for sure!

If you're looking for good food in Montauk keep looking…read more My girlfriend and I recently decided to take advantage of a deal for a hotel in the offseason in Montauk. We were looking for dinner Saturday night and of the limited options this place looked potentially good. I was terribly wrong. We walked in to see one other table occupied. Sure, it's the offseason, whatever. We ordered a couple of frozen drinks and the problems immediately started. The bartender used way too much ice in the blender. The drinks were obviously undrinkable but served anyway. The drinks did not melt by the time we left. Maybe the food would be good. Wrong again. The lobster in the lobster pasta was tough. I almost hope it wasn't fresh because it would have been a waste. The linguine with clams was no better. At the end of the meal my girlfriend remarked that she had never seen me not finish my dinner. We both knew why I hadn't. Awful restaurant. The owners should be ashamed.

Very Disappointing Experience at Salivar's…read more We went to Salivar's around 5 PM and sat at the back outdoor bar. They had just opened for the evening, and we were the only customers there at the time. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. We started with two drinks. My boyfriend ordered the $18 lobster bisque, and when I asked him how it was, his response was basically, "so-so." For $18, we definitely expected better. I ordered the peel-and-eat shrimp, and I immediately noticed something wasn't right. I was having such a hard time peeling them that I called over one of the waitresses who knows us because we've been regular customers. I showed her the shrimp and said, "Look, I can't even peel these." Her response was that they must have been frozen. That really bothered me. This is Montauk in peak season, and when you're paying Montauk prices, you expect fresh, properly prepared seafood. I mentioned the shrimp to the bartender, Alex, and to his credit, he removed them from our bill. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was watching the bartender appearing to hide the fact that he was vaping while working behind the bar. His behavior also seemed off to us. Regardless of the reason, it did not come across as professional and certainly isn't something I expect to see while sitting at a restaurant bar. We eat out frequently in Montauk and are regular customers at many local establishments, so we know what good food and good service in this town can be. Unfortunately, this experience was extremely disappointing. After this visit, we will not be returning to Salivar's.
