We had a great experience at Navy Beach. I was honestly nervous based on the other Yelp reviews I had read but we decided to give it a shot and are glad we did. We had a group of 6 for lunch on a Friday and we sat outside and shared a bunch of food (listed below). It was delicious! What we ordered for food: -tuna crudo -lobster roll -shishito peppers -mussels -little gem caeser -parm fries We personally had a good experience with service; the waiters were attentive with water, drinks, and food. We also asked to move over to the couch area (pictured) after our lunch which we were able to do to continue lounging and enjoying our time there. Yes it's a bit pricey, but I have come to expect that dining out in Montauk is going to be pricey. read more

I am so disappointed with how Franklin Ferguson reacted when we were trying to bring a group here for dinner in a couple weeks. We emailed asking about a group going to dinner but since we were nervous we decided to book separate reservations and ask if sitting near each other or together would be a possibility. He told us we could do a family style reservation but with food allergies this was not an option for us. We told him we would like to keep our separate reservations and we understand we won't be able to sit together. His response was a rude email lecturing us about making reservations and then he went into Resy to CANCEL our reservations without informing us he was going to do so. We received emails from Resy informing them that Frank canceled our reservations. And he is now ignoring us. We were really looking forward to coming here but Frank ruined that for us. read more

Navy Beach - Waterfront - Seafood Near Me - Montauk, New York

My sister found Navy Beach in a Google search while visiting Montauk, and it was amazing. It's tucked away past some railroad tracks - somewhat hidden. We chose indoor seating since it looked like rain. Service and food were excellent - I ordered the salmon along with a clam + corn chowder. My sister ordered the edamame, which had a rich flavor, and the Buddha bowl. Dessert was a decadent key lime pie with a flaky crust. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best views you will see especially if you get here around 6pm in middle of September. The key is to come about 45 minutes before sunset so you can see the whole thing. We sat on a day bed facing the water. This isn't your traditional restaurant setup but we liked it. The food was surprisingly good. I thought this place would be all view and no substance but I was wrong. The tuna crudo was very light/fresh and spot on. The yinnan ribs were also good. The kale caesar salad was probably my favorite light dish. The mexican corn was also on point and it comes on the cob which adds to the flavor. I will say the grilled avocado wasnt good so I would skip that. The drinks were also pretty good and I don't remember prices being unreasonable for what we got. Look... you aren't coming here because it has a Michelin star but the food won't disappoint. Come for the view because it is spectacular. Enjoy! read more

This establishment actively discriminates against persons with disabilities. I was denied service because I was accompanied by my service dog, they actually told me to "tie him up outside", after I refused and explained the service my service animal performs for me, they told me to leave. I asked to speak to a manager and she told me that having a dog in a restaurant is against the board of health - that is 100% false when it pertains to service animals. Another man absolutely bullied my husband while I was in the restroom with my service dog (he accompanies me everywhere, even the restroom). This is blatant discrimination and illegal in the US under ADA federal law. I have submitted a complaint against this establishment with the ADA and US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and will be consulting with an Attorney for the treatment I received. If you have a disability, stay away, they will discriminate, humiliate and make you leave. Absolutely disgusting, the staff and ownership need training on federal laws. read more

This restaurant is beautiful. Probably the best spot in Montauk to catch a sunset but the prices of the mediocre food was absurd. $14 for a glass of wine that is served in a small plastic cup....like come on. The Truffle Mac and Cheese was probably the highlight. I also got a strip steak special that was $52. It was good but NOT worth $52. The staff was also strange and made us wait for our table when there was NO ONE else there. It was definitely a strange experience. read more

Had some mixed experiences at this establishment. I think off season it's a great place, but unfortunately it gets very crowded during peak summer and the service and quality dips. It's still worth a visit, but maybe try it on a weekday read more

Disgusting establishment, came on Saturday Memorial Day weekend with 4 families each with 2 kids at 4pm for an early dinner. Place was empty, they told us they couldn't seat us until 5pm because kitchen was closed. We proceeded to buy a bottle of rose and cocktails. When 5pm came they turned us away said they couldn't seat us because "it may get busy later". The management here is scum, that isn't how you treat 16 people on a holiday weekend. There is a reason this place has trash reviews. DO NOT GO HERE read more

If you want to be totally ripped off. Go to this restaurant. You will have to get a mortgage to have less than average quality food. read more

Came here for lunch last weekend and it was my first time back here in years. I had an amazing experience. First, the food was incredible, I had the halibut and started with the grilled avocado. Both were delicious. The views and ambiance and service are all incredible too. Probably my favorite place I ate this weekend read more

This place was an absolute treat. What a perfect way to end a July 4th weekend! My girlfriend and I were given superb service, from the valet parking to the waiter, everybody who worked here was respectful and, most of all, careful amidst all this Corona madness. We shared the cauliflower side, the grilled avocado, the kale and shrimp salad, and the tilefish. We both LOVED our food and were super well by the end of the meal. The mojito with muddled fruit was also tasty. You seriously cannot beat this view. You must come here. read more

Food was very over priced which I wouldn't mind if it tasted good. I had the halibut which was dried out it came with a tasteless rice and extremely spicy sauce. The swordfish was so bad we sent it back and the scallops were good except there were only four scallops and a half a cup of couscous. Not enough for a adult man for dinner. Extremely disappointing. read more

I hadn't eat here in quite some time and avoided it other than for drinks. I was under the impression it was overpriced and mediocre. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the food. The truffle pasta and the halibut were great. The real standouts were the mussels and the key lime pie. Both were some of the best I've ever had. And of course you can't deny the ambiance and view, which were thoroughly enjoyed. Again I think I should mention that the key lime pie was amazing. read more

If you go in make sure you get Bishop behind the bar! Guy is a class act! Takes care of everyone!

Shrimp ceviche is not ceviche, it's cocktail shrimp in soy sauce. The lobster hand rolls are a little weird. Cute location though!

Navy Beach - Dinner Outside - Seafood Near Me - Montauk, New York

Food was decent. Small menu. For a seafood place, should be a little more entrees to choose from. Interior needs to be spruced up. Tables seemed grimy. Music was nice, but needed to be lowered in dining room. Saw a couple sit, then complain about the volume and leave. They then turned down the music and it was perfect. The waiter was a nice guy, but never asked us if we wanted a 2nd round of drinks. He disappeared and the inside wasn't that busy. But the chefs did turn out some decently cooked food! read more

*Arrival as a walk in, no reservation. *Hostess predicted 20-30 minute wait *The hostess was absolutely lovely *Approached bar, bartender was pissed at the world, each approach I made got worse, this women hated being at work. *Sat outside with cocktails with the best sunset. Met lovely people. *Cocktails with Tip, $25 each in a plastic solo cup served with an attitude. *Returned to host stand 65 minutes into our wait to check in, we did not pressure nor did we care about the wait. Mgr was at the host stand, never once made eye contact nor acknowledgement of my presence. She also looked really pissed to be at work. * Hostess arrived and could not be sweeter. She apologized beyond. *90 minutes passes overall and we got seated. It felt like they were doing us a favor. Sat at a picnic table with no lighting. At this point it's dark out. *Food arrives as ordered. Presentation SLOPPY, FLAVORLESS, the runner bringing the food was pissed at the world as well. *The best part of our visit to Navy beach was Frozen Tatter Tots, drinks and the sunset. As a consumer, we venture out to these high end - high energy - great vibe restaurants not because we have to, because we want to. We could stay home and eat takeout or cook. The prices charged include decor, atmosphere, entertainment, the empowerment of belonging, a great feeling to want to spend more money, the magic of being on vacation with that particular hospitality group. This place does not deliver. The two most important people on staff failed, the female Bartender & the female manager with long braided hair. They should have stayed home. It was obvious the entire staff was overwhelmed: empty tables, dirty tables, dirty bathrooms, customers pissed, etc etc etc. The owners of this establishment should pray the outdoor dining permit never expires, without it they have absolutely nothing to offer. read more

Horrible Food.. Horrible Service. We were 8 people. 6 out of 8 didn't eat their food. Loud. Worst experience in Montauk. Great Sunset. Just don't patronize. It should be noted we eat out every night we are on vacation. Off night is one thing. This was a complete waste of money and a night out. read more

Pulled up with the husband and kids and was super excited. The vibe was laid back, chill, beach bar. Tables on the sand or inside restaurant, we opted for on the sand. Corn hole, beautiful views of the water and sunset, we arrived about 5:45. Waiter was kind and semi attentive. The hiccups started when they bought on someone else's drinks, then someone else's bread. It got much worse after an hour wait for our food and the table next to us that came 20-30 AFTER us got our meal! The waiter did notice and did not even acknowledge the mix up or offer us a free drink or anything else. I would have taken a simple apology, but none came. Really ruined the entire experience for us, as we were starving. Food was luke warm when it arrived and not as good as expected. Stick with the appetizers. read more

horrible with accommodations . had 5 separate reservations all different families. when emailed if they accommodate large parties i was referred to their family style menus. This menu was outrageously priced as well as limited to one or two options. The five families and i opted to not do this option and stick with our own separate reservations. when I told franklin to forget the group booking he then proceded to be rude in the email and say I couldn't book seperate reservations at all. when asked if he could give me a call he ignored that and instead cancelled a few of our reservations. We were well aware we would not be sitting together or even have the same time that was not the issue! the issue was their limited family style menus and Franklin being incompetent on how to make a phone call. avoid at all costs . plus they have horrible yelp reviews overall so glad we ended up booking elswear. read more

Went there on a weekday. First time there. Service was good and friendly. Drinks were good. Amazing view and sunset. What was amazing though was the Tuna steak special. I love tuna and order it when places have it on special. Navy Beach made the absolute best one I have ever had. Additionally, for how the place appeared, I was expecting small portions. I was pleasantly surprised, nice sized portions on apps and entrees. read more

Terrible experience thanks to the manager's atrocious behavior. We had a reservation for 12 people, plus a baby, during a sunny Tuesday afternoon. They had a long table set for us, but only one sun umbrella over three connecting tables . We kindly asked whether they could install another umbrella for us, as half of us were directly under the sun. There were plenty of umbrellas in empty tables around us. The manager came out and, in an extremely rude and condescending way, told us that they don't move umbrellas to other tables. In an exchange with him, he used the following phrases: " we just don't do that for our customers- it's our policy" " you are in a restaurant on the beach! It's fine if you have have sun in your eyes" " if you don't want to be in the sun you can simply go inside" " it is my job to set the table for you, not to set the right amount of umbrellas for you" Oh, and when one of the members of our party said "excuse me sir, but..." he rudely interrupted in a condescending way and said " yes MA'AM!?" Thankfully, a very friendly waiter named Pierre saw what was happening and offered to help us. He took the initiative and together with the help of another waiter, and the reluctant manager, helped us install a second umbrella. The installation took only 5 min. It is unacceptable to book a reservation for 12 people with half of your party left to sit in the direct sun and then be that rude to your customers and refuse to accommodate them. The fact is that the manager is a rude, lazy, thin skinned, Irritable person demonstrates that he should not be in the hospitality business. I am giving it two stars instead of one only due to the awesome waiter Pierre who helped us out and saved the day. I hope Pierre takes over the restaurant one day, the food was decent and the view is great, so it has potential. read more

Navy beach really is all about the views. The food is fairly overpriced for what it is, but it's not bad. You just are paying for montauk views, so as long as you know that going in, you'll enjoy yourself. If you're expecting anything else, you'll feel like this was a waste of money read more

Navy Beach - View - Seafood Near Me - Montauk, New York

What a beautiful and amazing setting. Had an 8pm reservation and were seated when we arrived at 7:20. Sat outside for a gorgeous sunset. If that is what you are looking for it's a winner. However, if your eating that's another story. Was surprised when I learned the MP for the Lobster and Clam bake was $56. Way less than expected - how can I say no! I should have, see the picture of the shells. The Lobster and Clam bake was 3 little neck clams, 4 mussels, 2 medium shrimp and a lobster that was under a pound. This was paired with 2 small potatoes and corn the size of what you see on a Chinese buffet. Taste was bland, quantity was ridiculous. I need to stop for a pizza at Astro Pizza in Amagansett on the way home!!!!! read more

Had a really great experience here--We went with a party of 12, which can be a sh*t-show, but it wasn't! The service was actually super fast and the food was very clearly fresh and well-made. Everyone who got fish seemed the most happy, while others who stuck with basics like a spicy red-sauced pasta were more lack-laster about their choice. I had the salmon with soba noodles, plus a delish Caesar salad which wasn't your traditional type. Would definitely go back! read more

My family and I usually come to eat here every time we're in Montauk. My most recent visit was super disappointing. The drinks were alright but the food just wasn't what it used to be. The appetizers we got were the calamari salad and the burrata. The burrata is hard to mess up, so that was fine but the calamari was so crispy it was hard to chew. For dinner, I got the swordfish and it honestly looked like someone just threw the ingredients on a plate and tossed it outside for me to eat. The presentation was gross and the food had no flavor. It's sad because I really used to love this place but every time I come it seems to get worse. read more

After coming here annually for years, this visit would be my last. The service was atrocious. Walking in we were greeted and seated promptly, but the service ended there. After one employee got our water, another individual who we later learned was our server (he never introduced himself) asked for our order. He was not welcoming or helpful, but instead made us feel rushed as within the first 5 minutes of sitting down he came back asking for our order THREE times. On the third visit we decided to start with two appetizers and he responded curtly that he needs the entire order to put in at once. It would've been helpful had he introduced himself and explained this earlier. So, we quickly decide on entrees. I order the burger and he responds "How?" I am confused what he is asking, so I repeat "the burger". He repeats condescendingly, "How?" I then realized he's asking how I would like it cooked. I also asked if I could be on a separate check as I was the only one in the group not drinking and he responded bluntly NO. We were a party of 4 so unsure why he was unwilling to bring 2 checks but fine. I figured out the math and he took my payment separately at the end. From there, the food came out super quick which was great, but he never came by to ask if everything came out ok. Instead, halfway through our meal there were numerous attempts to take half full plates off the table which was disruptive and made us feel rushed and anxious. Possibly the most ridiculous moment of dinner was at perfect time as the sun was setting and the sky was beautiful, the server decides to take a break, standing directly in front of our table (back towards us) blocking our table's view of the sunset. After the sunset, all the visits to the table abruptly stopped then it was impossible to get a last drink or dessert order in as he never came back to check in. Instead, the check was dropped off without asking us if we needed anything else. The whole experience, his attitude and tone ruined what should've been a relaxing meal catching up with friends. This type of person who is clearly miserable should not be in a client-facing role. There are many other dining options in Montauk offering waterfront views and sunsets, namely Crows Nest which has a better menu and superior service. I will not be back to Navy Beach. read more

Initially attracted by a Youtuber's video showcasing this lovely restaurant my husband and I were so attracted by this 15-second preview of Navy Beach! We knew we had to stop here during our NY roadtrip. However, once we sat down and tried the food, we just found it to be adequate and heavily expensive! Save your money and go to somewhere cheaper and visit the beach. When you go to Navy Beach, you're essentially just paying for some expensive seafood and a nice view. read more

Setting is unparalleled. Truly amazing. Service is attentive and friendly. Food is ok. Others in my party loved it, I thought it was just ok. Exceptionally pricey and not worth the $. You're paying for the setting. Tuna crudo was ok. Small portion for the price tag. Kale salad with shrimp decent - needed more dressing. Calamari salad was good (everyone else thought it was amazing). I didn't try the crab cake but it was expensive for 1 crab cake. Kids meals were big portions and well received. Drinks were strong and the price reflected that. A beautiful lunch no question but not worth the high bill in my opinion. read more

This is such a great place. Had an amazing time yesterday, like always even during covid. The staff and team here take all of the precautions to ensure the safety of their patrons. The staff is incredible from the valet attendants helping customers find places to go after dinner, to the hostesses, wait staff, and bartenders. Food coupled with the beach side seating and sunset vibes makes for an amazing experience. Tartare, and robs as appetizers, tile fish was incredible, and we also had the pasta and salmon over soba noodles and broth. I'm probably going to go back tonight it was soo good..haha. Thanks again for the amazing experience. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I needed to after our awful experience. The manager was extremely rude and called me and my husband "squatters". We had a reservation and got there about an hour early to enjoy drinks outside prior to our reservation. We grabbed our drinks and sat down at a picnic table outside. We were there for about 30 mins and a waiter came over and started giving us plates and water. We told him that our reservation wasn't until later and he said that's fine and they can serve us now so we were like ok great. My husband left to use the restroom and formally check in with the plan to tell them that the waiter outside said we could eat where we were sitting. The women didn't give him a chance to tell them that and proceeded to walk him to a table on the deck. My husband just went with the flow followed the hostess. While he was inside, a woman ran up to me and told me I needed to get up because she had a reservation for the table that we were having drinks at. She was extremely rude and talking down to me like I was a child. I told her we were there for a very long time and no one told us we had to leave and in fact a waiter told us we were able to stay and eat there. She told me that's not how her system works and kept telling me to get up so of course I did and moved myself and our drinks to an Adirondack chair on the beach to wait for my husband to get back. I was rattled and felt very belittled. After this interaction, the manager went inside to the hostess stand and my husband was at the front waiting to tell the hostess about our reservation. The manager then proceeded to complain to her co workers that they're were "squatters" outside at the picnic table saying that they have a reservation at 6:15 with an attitude that assumed I was lying and didn't have a reservation. My husband was up at the hostess stand waiting to speak to them and heard this whole conversation but didn't think anything of it until he came back and I told him what happened and then told me about the conversation that he overheard when he was at the hostess stand. After speaking to my husband about the situation and the conversation he overheard, I decided to confront the manager about her attitude. She was extremely dismissive and would not make eye contact with me. She blamed her attitude on it being a stressful job however, that isn't an excuse or reason to treat your customers poorly. She also insinuated that I was lying about being checked in and seated because it wasn't indicated in her system. The hostess that seated my husband then come over and confirmed that she seated us and the manager went silent because she knew she was wrong. She never once apologized for how she treated us. She clearly doesn't care about her customers. A cherry on top to an awful experience was that the food/drinks and service were not good either. I would not recommend. read more

Rude staff with bad attitude and extremely overpriced mediocre food. We had a reservation for 8:30 and we got there at 7:45. We asked if we could just get a drink to go or sit at the bar, or wait by the restaurant and they asked us very rudely to leave and come back at 8:30. There is really nothing around so we had to just walk around until then. When we got back, it took the hostess 15 min to sit us down at the bar inside. The only good thing about the place is the view so we asked if we could sit facing outside (even if from the inside) and they said (again, very rudely, without even taking their eyes off the phone and looking at us) that everything is reserved. By the end of the meal, about 2 hours later, there were still some empty seats facing the outside. We were looking very carefully and no one was sitting there the whole time... There was another couple that got so frustrated with the attitude and just left after one drink. Wish we did the same. They also made a mistake with our food order. Regardless, the food was pretty bad and very overpriced. The only good thing I can say is the bartender was nice, he saw how frustrated we were so he offered us a complimentary drink. read more

Terrible and expensive. Complete tourist trap. Food was very average. They rush you out to then serve the next person. Cannot recommend.

Recommended to us as a great spot to go; food tastes like cafeteria food. Service is fine but menu subpar and very expensive. For a family of 4, plan to spend $300 on cafeteria food read more

I had dinner with friends on Sunday June 28th at Navy Beach outdoors. They are lucky that they have such a beautiful location because everything else about this place was horrible. The service was terrible as they did not bring us essentials like plates for sharing and fork/knives. The food was subpar considering the price $600 for 4ppl. It was very greasy and the quality of the meat was low. The part that was quite possibly the worst was their treatment as we were leaving. One out of the the four of us had taken her mask off for a moment and one of the employees came over and rudely demanded we leave. I guess they figured that since they had our money they could treat us like garbage. The level of rudeness was uncalled for and they should be ashamed of their treatment. I would suggest finding another place to eat and relax for the money you spend at this establishment. read more
