We had excellent service on Christmas Eve, which was definitely a quiet time in Montauk. The ambiance was modern but welcoming. The local sea bass special was delicious and fresh. The seafood fra diavalo was good. The calamari and shrimp were a tad rubbery, but the mussels and clams were good. read more

The food and service were great. Everything came out quickly and the managers and servers were very attentive. My only complaint is that it is overpriced, but it seems everything is here. read more

Muse @ the End - My daughters lobster roll. She loved it. It was $45! - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

First the positives: the ambiance is lovely and the young woman playing guitar had a nice voice. The skate was tender, but not very flavorful. Negatives: the Calamari salad had dry old fried rings and wilted older lettuce. Ok/ Crabcakes and drink service were average. read more

6 of us dined here 2 weeks ago. The table was wobbly. It took 3 asks to get someone to fix it and she never really did. The service wasn't good and the overpriced food soso. Several of us had the lobster special. ​​The baked potatoes were cold among a host of other issues. My lobster roll was lobster salad atop a dry roll. The fries were good at least. The chicken was a dry piece of leather. The $$drinks skimpy. The manager was of little to no use. read more

This was, without question, one of the worst restaurant experiences of my life. We had an 8 PM New Year's Eve reservation, ordered around 8:10, and didn't see our first appetizer until about 9:20 -- and it was awful. We also ordered a simple butter pasta for our 4-year-old, and they charged $35 for it. Thirty-five dollars. For plain butter pasta. Absolutely ridiculous and borderline insulting. Our mains finally arrived close to 10 PM, completely overcooked and honestly inedible. At that point we were furious, spoke with our server and the manager, and negotiated to just pay around $200 (including their forced 20% NYE surcharge) so we could leave. We agreed to it simply because we didn't want to waste any more of our time + What makes this even worse is that this wasn't just any night -- my wife's birthday is January 1st, so this dinner was meant to be part of her celebration. Instead, it turned into one of the most frustrating and disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. I sincerely apologized to my wife. This place is disorganized, painfully slow, insanely overpriced, and completely ruined what should have been a special night. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. read more

Muse @ the End - Kid pasta $35 NYE - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

I absolutely LOVE a beach town, so when we went on a little getaway to Montauk earlier this week, I was definitely soaking up the ocean and all the coastal vibes. What I also LOVED about Montauk, though, was the (really good) eats! Everything we had was honestly hitting the spot in its own way, and the Muse @the End was the perfect ambiance for a cozy steak dinner. (I also want to just compliment our server who was really hospitable; I noticed a lot of hospitality around town, too!) We started out with the baked oysters, and they were most definitely soothing and unique since they were baked with a refined Stilton. (This is delicious if you are a fellow lover of blue cheese, hehe.) We also shared the flavorful, marinated rib eye that was tender and had just the right ratio of rendered fat in every bite! The entree came with grated zucchini and a blue cheese mash; again, if you are like me and are a fan of blue cheese, you would appreciate this side! We also shared the parmesan truffle fries because it's kind of hard to say no to parmesan truffle fries, ya know? When the meal wrapped up, I asked for a dessert menu since my birthday was a week prior, and I figured we could indulge a bit, LOL. A (warm) brownie ice cream sundae, with rich vanilla ice cream, was how said indulgence manifested. If you are ever in Montauk, especially in the peaceful off season, I most definitely recommend the Muse @ the End for a peaceful dinner night out. read more

decent food, huge portion for the mains despite the prices (surge in the summer) but one star for the RUDE staff!! we had a reservation for a large party and waited 2 hours for our food....which at 11pm felt a little absurd. moreover, they forgot 3 dishes and still hadn't started making it so we kindly asked them to cancel it and they got so mad at us and gave us attitude. they were nice enough to remove those from the bill but given the other kerfuffles I would not come back here. read more

Muse @ the End - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

Bland food all around. Muscles were ok, chicken entree was burnt. Carrots were just plain steamed carrots, but still hard somehow. Everything was the definition of "meh". Plus, expensive drinks that were watered down. Much, much, much better places in Montauk read more

Had a really nice dinner here while visiting Montauk last weekend! We started with oysters, which were delicious. I got the lobster roll as my entree, and my boyfriend got the chicken parm. I loved the fries that came with my lobster roll because they were homemade and sooo good. They also have a cute bar inside the restaurant, so we sat there and got a couple drinks after dinner. We went in November during the off season, but it still seemed pretty busy. I would assume it gets even busier during the summer, so I'd recommend making a reservation before you go just in case. read more

We love the Muse and have been coming here for years. We come back for the polenta fries. But they changed the menu and do not serve them anymore. So sad! Please bring them back! The food was great. The server a bit grumpy. But we had a lovely evening. read more

I have never written a bad review, but I felt morally compelled to do so in this case, for the good of everyone and anyone who for some reason is inclined to go to Muse @ The End in Montauk. I do not say this lightly, but it was hands-down the WORST meal I've ever had. The baked clams were burnt and sandy, and tasted like the ocean in the worst possible way. The fluke Francese was so hard it was difficult to cut (how exactly one manages to get the consistency of fish to be so solid is beyond my comprehension), and it tasted fishy and disgusting, not to mention the overwhelmingly bad smell coming from it. The mashed potatoes were clumpy, tasteless, dry, and downright inedible. The pork chop was dangerously undercooked, too chewy to even eat, and tasted like rotten meat. We sent it back and were presented with chicken parmigiana that was even worse, if possible. The chicken was surely prepared far in advance, frozen, and then reheated, probably in a microwave, because it came out within minutes. I have never tasted chicken so horrible: it was rancid and rubbery. Frankly, I don't even know what kind of meat it was, but I have never tasted anything so offensive to the palette. The mozzarella cheese was sour and burnt. The sauce tasted like watery, spoiled tomatoes, and the pasta was like mush. The only difficult part was choosing which element of his horrendous meal was the most foul. Again, I hesitated to write this, as I don't like leaving bad reviews and I wouldn't waste my time doing so if I didn't feel it absolutely necessary, but I had to say this as a matter of conscience. This food was sickening. Nobody should be subjected to this kind of meal and be asked to pay for it. Stay far away from Muse @ The End, for your own well-being. You'll thank me for it! read more

Don't be deceived by the way this place looks from the outside. It's BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!!! This place HAS IT ALL. The food quality is amazing, the service is great, and they have a nice size bar with big TVs perfect for watching sports games. They even have big mirrors in the dining room so you can watch the tv from almost anywhere you sit. They have live music with early 2000's music like Baha Men, Shaggy... it was really good. Their Plancha Sun Dried Tomato Crusted Salmon was SPECTACULAR. I ordered it medium rare and it was one of the best tasting salmon dishes I have ever had. The fluke was a fluke, because it was bland when you compare it to the salmon dish. Even the dessert menu looks amazing. They have a Chocolate Lava cake that sounds so good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a fun time. read more

Unfortunately, this is the place we went to after getting engaged earlier in the day. There's no way we would have known it was going to be a bad experience. Our server wasn't the nicest, and didn't write any of our orders down which was a red flag from the jump. We ordered a margarita pizza, crab cakes, and a Caesar salad. We only got the pizza and the cakes but no salad. Pretty disappointed from the start. Our server didn't take our entree order until after we finished our apps. I asked if he can substitute grilled zucchini for broccoli, and he said that the back does not do substitutions on their dishes. I have an allergy to zucchini, but I didn't want to get into it because it would have made the experience worse than it already was and on a great day. I had to order something different, which was terrible because I don't like the taste and greasiness of bacon but gave my vegetables to my fiancé. I personally think our server did not want to write the anything down, hence no substitutions, but that's my opinion. I ordered medium, I got close to well done. All in all, I wish we did our research before coming here. It was loud, we didn't feel comfortable for the most part while we were here. read more

Muse @ the End - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

Do you long for the taste of undercooked food, canned seafood (reminiscent of ocean-flavored rubber), frozen ravioli, and the crunch of whole, uncooked cloves of garlic? Do you yearn for a $22 debatably non alcoholic martini? Do you aspire to dine at an establishment in which conventional societal standards go out the window? Are you prepared to risk your life upon entering a biohazardous bathroom with tacky, generic, dollar-store dorm room art positioned to cover up holes in the wall? (Which were also visible at the table we sat at, by the way) Is your mouth watering for shelf-stable sawdust value-brand "Parmesan cheese?" Are you looking to be served by someone who clearly hates their job and has no clue what they're doing (the bar back) and is taking shots on the job? Are you prepared to be amazed at the astounding cost of the bill after eating a meal that can only be described as Olive Garden's crappier cousin? Finally, is your wallet ready for a 3% card fee (debit or credit?) Then Muse in Montauk is the place for you! **Note: The only redeeming quality of Muse is the trauma bond my friends and I now share after eating dinner. read more

Made a reservation for a nice round table in bar area and left credit card for deposit! Reconfirmed reservation and table...the 7 of us got there table was empty but was told by hostess we could not get it .Had to wait for other table which owner came out sasaying" best table in house" we were hu gry and didn't want to make a fuss so sat at table which was a long banquet style by a door constantly opened and very cold plus smokers gathered there and we were constantly smelling the cigarettes. We couldn't do any substutions on menu, not a big deal ,we paid extra for them.but then only 6 meals came out ( other meal was never made) so we had to wait for 20 more minutes for that meal ....Waiter was super apologetic, got that guest a wine and offered complimentary dessert. But experience was sort of ruined. MOSTLY because of rude owner/ manager...PS my meal though was superb! read more

Very nice place inside, staff were very friendly and the drinks were amazing. I ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo Pasta dish and added on the lobster tail. I specifically asked for the dish to be in a garlic and white wine sauce and please not to make it spicy. Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy the dish after a few bites my mouth was on fire, the dish was way too spicy like they made it extra extra spicy. I ended up not being able to eat anything else and could not enjoy my drinks either all I tasted was spicy. I would come back again as the restaurant seems like a nice place and I'd try another dish instead. Although I could not enjoy my meal it looked absolutely delicious! read more

Muse @ the End - Seafood Fra Diavolo in white wine and Garlic - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

I don't like to trash a restaurant but I haven't seen or tasted such wretched food -- maybe ever! A good salad, but it was followed by chicken Parmigiana that was inedible. A huge battered piece of pummeled chicken that almost covered the whole plate, dry as a bone and seemingly ancient. Below it spaghetti that might have come out of a can. Ate two or three bites and gave up. Just wanted to get out of there. How did the place get 4 stars? read more

We ended up here 2x and enjoyed the dinner, and on the second visit, the Happy hour. From 3-7 discounted appetizers and cocktails from $1 Oysters to Lobster rolls @ $19 the drinks were solid, and the food delicious.

Muse @ the End - RAW MEAT - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

We have a place in montauk so we know the prices very well. We saw in the montauk sun the Muse Ad. Everyday 1-4 Happy Hour. Advertised $1.00 Oysters during Happy Hour. Went in with my boyfriend at 3pm on Wednesday Afternoon. We sat at the bar. Bartender asked if we were eating or drinking I said drinking. He made us 2 drinks. One Tito with Splash of cranberry and club soda and one tito with ginger ale. Within 5 minutes I questioned the bartender why it was so hot inside. I noticed the doors to the restaurant were open and the outside. He said oh we keep them open. Within another 30 minutes I said to the other bartender why do you have doors open it's just to hot. He said oh the ac in the restaurant part was broken. It just was so uncomfortable. We order 1 round of oysters for $1.00 Each they were pretty big. 2nd Round not even close. Overall seemed the bartender was upset we just came in for the oysters. Wrong. Then shocked to see $20 drinks really lost me. read more

Very dissatisfied with our experience here for dinner. Lovely evening, seated outside, nice vibe. food was terrible. lobster roll was so salty that it was inedible. A hamburger that was supposed to be medium was so over cooked it was more than well done. The baked chopped clams had pieces that had to be spit out because they were so tough. Service was pretty much neglectful . We asked for water and it was never refilled. I asked for coke it was never delivered. I am not particularly fussy.but this was not a good and it was not cheap. read more

Dined here with my husband and unfortunately had a very poor experience. We ordered an appetizer and mentioned it twice to our waitress, but she seemed solely focused on the entrées. Unsurprisingly, the appetizer never arrived. Once our food was served, the waitress never checked in on us again throughout the meal. When we brought this to the manager's attention, he seemed indifferent and unconcerned. With so many great options in Montauk, I would recommend looking elsewhere for quality service and a better dining experience. read more

First let me start by saying I really like Muse. Been there a bunch of times and always had good food and service. On this Thursday night around 6:30 when we walked in it was fairly quiet. Sat at a high top in the bar area so Ivan, the bartender started out as our server. That rapidly changed as the crowds started arriving. We understood that they were not prepared for this many people and were overwhelmed. To say things went downhill fast was an understatement. Orders mixed up, arriving at different times, etc. Wife ordered the 1 1/2lb lobster (which was no more than 1 1/4 at best) which was overcooked. Ok, she can manage but no drawn butter with it to revive it. We thought it was an oversight and had to ask 3 different servers as well as the manager, since it was taking 15 minutes to get the butter, by which time the lobster was cold. No one asked how we were doing, no smiles (except from Ivan), just servers running around trying to keep up. We were glad they were having a great business night and if we had not been there before and really liked Muse we would never return, but the icing on the cake was when we received the check and saw that they charge $3.00 for drawn butter with an undersized $58.00 lobster! When leaving I asked the manager how they could charge $3.00 for drawn butter with a lobster, which as far as I know has been coming with whole lobsters since the beginning of time, his response was "yes, I don't know why they do that". A perfect ending to the night. read more

Muse @ the End - Scallops and Risotto. White wine sangria - New American Near Me - Montauk, New York

The Muse @ the End is a fun and tasty dinner spot for a night out in Montauk. On Saturday night, there was live music with songs you'll want to sing along to. Of course, the main event was the food. The dinner started off right with the fresh and flavorful bruschetta that's complementary. I enjoyed my house salad with grilled chicken as well as the bites of the Bolognese I stole from others' plates. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Food was good, but our drinks came AFTER the appetizer. And the drinks were WRONG. Our server only checked on us after we were practically done and no one apologized. NOTHING was taken off our bill as a token of goodwill. We have been going here every year for the past several years and always had a great experience. We will NEVER enter the doors of this establishment again. read more

The maitre'd was rude and wouldn't change our table in the bar area to the main dining room even though there were plenty of tables in the main dining area. He said that they were reserved, but still weren't ocuupied for th2 hours we were there. The service was fair because the waiter never checked with us to see how we were doing. The scallops had too much salt and were flavorless and one piece of the beef short ribs was uneatable. Don't bother patronizing this restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here - delicious food, attentive service and a lovely atmosphere.

Service was prompt and efficient for a table of four. Out waitperson was very good but had some difficulty with English but still amazed to get the full order in without single mistake. She also check on us at least two times during the meal to ensure we were happy. The menu was pretty extensive and I had the full lobster I'd been waiting for a year. It was delectable and served with baked potato and corn on the Cobb. Drinks were great. Overall quite nice but the volume in room was pretty high despite the relative paucity of full tables. Sure, playing music loud adds something but also makes conversation quite difficult. Overall a lovely experience and regret not getting crème brûlée for dessert but I was simply to full after the crab cake appetizer. This is the one reason I left 4 stars: these were among the worst crab cakes I have ever had. Even in the Midwest they make more of an effort. These crabcakes sucked. Sorry, no dice; they really really sucked. read more

Food and ambience were great. Service was ok- but in fairness, a rehearsal dinner party was going on at the same time so the servers were very busy. The place is pretty loud so if you're looking for a quiet romantic spot, this may not be for you, but we enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Cocktails were delicious and there's lots of variety. read more
