    Always a wonderful experience at La Plage. The food, drinks & service are always great. It's located off the beaten path across from Wading River beach. They offer outdoor seating in the warmer months & if you are lucky enough you can get a view of the water (unless a car is blocking your view). It gets quite busy on weekends so I would highly recommend making a reservation whether it be for lunch or dinner.

    If love French style cuisine, great little restaurant right opposite cliffs overlooking CT coastline. Excellent food presentation and very tasty. Service was great.

    I like the atmosphere .. it's in front of a beach parking lot so u don't really have a water view and on the back u have a view of green grass.. food is good... service is good but our first water (older lady) didn't offer bread for our table. The other waiter ( male) did. Would go back.

    As they say location location location is the key. This place is nicely tucked away near the beach. The ambiance was perfect for bringing your date. Since we were not familiar with the menu we opted for the specials for the night... A salad and a pasta plate with fish. The portions were perfect and the unlimited bread was delish. The wait staff was very friendly and added to the great experience. We were able to get seated without a reservation.

    Don't let the somewhat rundown structure fool you! The 27 rating in Zagat for the food is well earned.

    Ask the Community - La Plage Wading River

    Are they open year round?

    Yes they sure are! Right now they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays; can't remember about summertime. Enjoy!

    Is the restaurant Wheelchair accessible?

    Not really. I use a rollator and the place is small.

    How does one make a reservation here?

    We called when open. 12-4 (lunch) 5-9 (Dinner). We called during lunch for a 5pm reservation for outside with 4 people. Quite comfortable during Covid

It was less than a 10-minute drive from where we were staying, and going there was the best decision! They were offering two lobster rolls for $41, and they were worth every penny. Each roll was generously filled with large chunks of fresh lobster, a little diced celery, and just the right amount of mayo. They weren't overly dressed or packed with unnecessary fillers--the lobster was definitely the star. One roll filled me up, so I packed the second one in a cooler and brought it home to my dad in Nassau County. He loved it and gave it a 5/5 too! They also sell baked goods, and the chocolate chip cookies were delicious. Just keep in mind that there is no seating and you cannot eat on the premises because it's an active driveway. Everything is to go, but the beach is only a short drive away and makes the perfect place to enjoy your food. If you're looking for fresh local seafood, generous lobster rolls, and a no-frills hidden gem, Bennett Shellfish is absolutely worth the visit!

You don't have to chose the $60 AYCE option, but I do think you get great value if you do AYCE compared to the packages that aren't. You get a dry erase marker and make your selections on the menu. I was impressed by the wide variety of options from soups like clam chowder to lobster rolls to vegetables to salads to the seafood options. I ended up trying scallops, corn, Dungeness crab, king crab legs, broccoli. I also tried both the house blend and the garlic butter sauces. To be honest, the butter was overpowering in both sauces so next time I would just try the original Cajun sauce. The portion of food you get and the quality is great! Decent amount of lobster in the lobster roll, and good amount of meat in the shellfish. I also love that they had the Knicks vs Cavs game playing. It's also cute that they change the song to a happy birthday song when they're celebrating someone's birthday. It's definitely a more casual ambiance but fun for celebrating birthdays. I also appreciate that they supply plenty of gloves, crackers, as well as bibs. It'll def be a messy eating experience! The only piece of feedback I'd say is we didn't get any refills on our waters during our meal, nor did we get a beverage we ordered, but otherwise our server was very friendly.
