This is a top location and workers were stressing and edgy. Two more people needed at least. In food - Build it they will come! Crowd wise at least. Asked about the Manhattan - no taste offered Just a scoop lifted and comment about it being Manhattan clam chowder . Oh ok so then just give me the small - cant do a quart untested - lol Over comes the New England - eeek Ok so then when told - insisted I told him New England and the classic flinging out of the cup after saving the chowder - Thanked Was grateful for the soup - tipped and thought wow - they need to ramp up the front counter - who were also getting clams - one woman gave a waiting tables away to a new person on the line - heard that stressing out my soup guy - When in the Hamptons chill out and thank them - it's a lot to go from 2 to 100 in a few weeks. Dockers is the only place that nails it every time - but you're going to pay for it. All around ok place for all types of seafood - Manhattan chowder is Meh - watery potatoey - But a few fresh clams - so ok. Their claim to fame is their clams and steamers - fresh and delicious. Nice outdoor picnic tables on the deck before the door. Wait service and cool drinks or beer. Insider a few tables for dining in. Very reliably good. Go to chill out and enjoy real locally made soups and fresh seafood.

Came here with my wife and father in law a few weeks ago and the food and service was solid. Came on slow day so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves, but I really enjoyed the food. Fathers in law got the poke tuna nachos and it was very good! Not the biggest tuna person but the flavor was excellent! My wife got bang bang shrimp with fries and the shrimp was very good! Shrimp was cut into small pieces and wasn't overly covered with sauce. Shrimp had great flavor and the French fries were very good. I got a steak bowl that came with rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain, and a nice veggie slaw. The bowl was very good and the steak was pounded out and just very good. The bartender Tara & her sister were great! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a new place to try. The food and service were great. Look forward to trying other things off the menu

Cuisine: 4 Service: 3…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 5 Overall: 4 This is the restaurant that now operates out of the former space of Finn & Forks. Unfortunately, the food is no longer seafood-centric and overall not nearly as good. Music was loud and the service was very lacking. Honestly, other than the frozen tasting mussels, nothing was necessarily bad. The smoky Chicken Quesadilla and Ahi Tuna Street Bowl were even decent. However, majority of everything else was just average at best and not memorable. To top it off, the prices are relatively high for what we received and the service was subpar. No one came to pour us water or take an order after we sat down for 20 minutes. Then a few different servers came by with our food. No refills on our water or check on our status. Next time we saw our server was when she came by to give us the check. Didn't even asked if we wanted dessert. Oh well, we will not be back.

When you first arrive, you can tell it's a place that primarily caters to locals, which is a nice change of pace during the summer pilgrimage of out of towners. The bar itself is relatively small, but the bar staff are quick on their delivery. For food, we shared a dozen oysters that were without a doubt fresh and reasonably priced. We had the fluke fish tacos that were some of the best fish tacos I've ever tried, as well as their seasonal special - buffalo chicken soft shell crab (soft shell crab fried like buffalo chicken nuggets, that include a side of buffalo sauce). The food was excellent! We went on a Saturday night and they had live music. The place wasn't overly crowded and it was a really great for a summer date. I definitely recommend checking out the Station Bar if you're in the area, or even taking the ride just to enjoy some fresh seafood and a couple of beers while sitting on the canal.

The restaurant is teeny, maybe 8 tables. Our party of 4 was accommodated by pushing two high top tables together, sparing us a long wait. Our waitress was perky.

My wife and I tried the Moroccan salmon. It was excellent- cooked perfectly on a bed of couscous with vegetables. The yogurt sauce was very tasty. Our friends had shrimp tacos and a salmon burger. They were fighting over the fries. The only minor negative is that the restaurant uses disposable plates and cutlery. What a great find! We are looking forward to dining there outdoors next spring.

Inside seating and the bar is always a good time as well. Food here is good and always consistent! I come here a lot with my wife and my father in law and I really like this place. Sundays next door is great as well but I personally like Oaklands better. I just think the crowd is more my age vs next door the crowd being a lil older. Overall the food here is good and always Consistent. Staff is great and always attentive and everyone working here is very friendly. I always come for lunch but I need a come one day and try the dinner menu! Lunch and dinner menu are both different and the dinner menu has more option to my preference. Very great spot if you're looking for good food!

I was game and called the restaurant regarding their happy hour times and was told by the hostess that they do not have a happy hour per se but their bar menu is always available and of course there is lunch and dinner and they always have live music. It is a little off the beaten path and is located in an enclave of restaurants on the water i n Hampton Bays. We walked in and were greeted by the hostess. It is an impressive sized space divided into two sections, a bar area where the live music was playing with seating at the bar and some booth seating and opposite this a larger circular dining room with tables for four and six people overlooking the water. We were seated and menus and a wine list was provided. Our waiter was Joseph Z. He was pleasant,the accommodating and efficient. Our drink orders were taken-a Corona beer for my brother and I ordered a Negroni. We gave our meal orders at the same time. My brother ordered the seafood pasta with a side of French fries-[not shoestring-these looked hand cut] and I ordered the sea scallops and a side of asparagus. The meals arrived shortly and we dug in. My brother enjoyed his food [the French fries looked very appealing] My substantally sized scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly. They were sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes, diced peppers and some greens. The asparagus were cooked well, crisp and very tasty. After our meal and some time to digest, we looked at the dessert menu. My brother opted for the tirami su and I was initially looking at the creme brulee but I had had this recently at another restaurant and then decided on the mixed berry crumble. After taking one bite of the mixed berry crumble, I new it I made the right choice. The dessert came out hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and alongside, a small vat of whipped cream and one of additional mixed berries. This dessert was outstanding. To cap this experience, I ordered a cup of espresso. In summary, the restaurant is clean and well maintained [the restroom as well] The staff is polite and the service is quick. We were there on Mother's Day weekend [Friday] and it is not an inexpensive meal, comparable to what I would have paid for a similar meal in New York City. However, it was well worth the money. It was an experience. I would strongly recommend and I hope to return soon.

I did struggle finding something that excited me. It was your typical upscale but unimaginative menu. However, I am pleased to say that the food was delicious and the portions were very good. The wait staff was outstanding. Very often, during a business meeting at other restaurants, I have had waitors interrupt the train of thought ... or mid-sebtence swoop in and ask if everything is alright or if more drinks are needed. Here, our waitress did a great job of appearing during very good times and not being overbearing, yet at the same time being helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is okay. Inside is kind of typical of an upscale corporate event-style venue. The upper outside deck is fantastic with views of the water and comfortable seating. I would come back if I was in the area. Though there are better food options elsewhere in the Hamptons, for a sit down restaurant that you can do business in, it hits all the right notes. Prices are high, as expected, in the Hamptons.

On a Sunday afternoon, looked mainly like regulars coming in around noon. The lobsters and clams were excellent as was the service.

Afterwards, we walked about 200 yards to watch the folks fishing off the rocks both into the Bay and the Ocean.

My brother got a beer and I decided on the Edgewater espresso martini, which was really good. We placed our happy hour food choices when she returned-my brother opted for the wings and I got the shrimp and ,mushroom risotto. The food arrived quickly and was hot. Both our meals were delicious. The risotto was covered with shaved parmesan cheese and was very tasty. I would recommend and will be returning.

Came here on a Thursday night and was able to grab two seats at the bar. I started off with a cosmo which was made perfectly, served in an insulated martini glass to keep it nice and cold. For starters we had the charbroiled oysters which were unlike any oyster dish I've ever had. Topped with garlic, parmesan and sriracha, the sauce that comes off of these bad boys gets soaked up with the focaccia its served with. Honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. We also had fried calamari which was solid. For mains, I had the veal Milanese which was perfectly cooked. Crispy, topped with fresh tomatoes and arugula plus shaved parmesan. My brother had the lobster pasta which I tried and was out of this world. The shitake mushrooms in this dish really add a depth of flavor you don't normally find in a lobster pasta. I haven't stopped thinking about those oysters and will absolutely be back. Everything in the Hamptons is expensive, but this place is where you want to spend your money.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 1 Value: 5 Overall: 4 This was a decent seafood restaurant, however, I scored a 1 for decor because there were just too many large flies all over the place. We had a corner table near the window, which was littered with them. We asked to be moved after the appetizers arrived and the flies started swarming towards the food. However, they said it was a full house and we would have to wait another 45 minutes. The meal was ruined regardless of any other factors. As far as the food goes, the Crab Cakes, Steamers, and Scallops were the better half of the meal. Calamari and Salmon were not bad either, but I wouldn't get the Fried Shrimps again. I don't know how they can fix their infestation problem. Unfortunately, we will not return unless we know the issue has been resolved.
