I'm a just start off by saying Oakland's has the best French fries lol. All jokes asides I really like Oakland's. Great spot to grab food and just hang out in the back on the deck. 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! read more

My brother and I were deciding on where to go for happy hour and he mentioned he had been to Oakland's Restaurant and Marina in the past and really liked it and felt we should give it a try. 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. read more

Fantastic experience. Boated with my friend across the sound and we're fortunate to reserve a docking spot due to the owner's generosity. Didn't eat at the restaurant but the food smelled delicious! read more

Best sunsets around!!! Food is ok and drinks are good. Beautiful outdoor deck, decent music. perfect for a nice summer night

This place did not disappoint!!!! From the food & drinks, to the ocean views & live music, I really can't wait to go back. We went here for my father's birthday and had the absolute best time here. Had a few of their signature drinks and enjoyed watching the sunset by the dock. The service was also great! The place was packed but they found time to get you as soon as they could! read more

I wouldn't recommend eating anywhere on Dune Road because these spots are all mediocre at best, people just come here for the view. But out of all three options, I do think that Oakland's is a cut above the rest. I think that this is also common knowledge, because trying to get a table here during summer is challenging, especially on weekends. The last time my mom and I came here we were able to be seated relatively quickly since we were willing to sit at one of their counter spots overlooking the water. The margaritas here are nice and strong (which makes the price tag hurt less) and their seafood pasta is an absolute must if you decide to come here. Mussels are also nice and fresh. Not to mention, the sunsets here are epic. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 5 Overall: 6 Like many places with a great view, the food is honestly san afterthought at Oakland's. I had a great time chatting with my friends this past weekend inside their beautiful dining room before they shutdown for the season, but the food was not impressive. Everyone talks about their amazing Crab Cake, really? Maybe mine was an anomaly, but it was not filled with lump crab and lacked flavor. I love crab and eat crab cake everywhere. This ranks on the lower half for sure. As for my Halibut Sandwich, the fish was fried reasonably well, though I wish the batter was crispier. What bothered me more was all the pickled vegetables on top that takes away from the delicate flavors of the fish. Had a bite of my friend's Flounder Sandwich. The panko crusted fish was crispy enough, but flesh was dry. Burrata Salad was just okay since it didn't have that creaminess you want, the salad needed a drizzle more of balsamic vinegar, and quality of prosciutto could be better. Lastly, don't bother ordering the Clam Chowder because there is almost no clam flavor at all. Too heavy on the cream and all I got was potatoes. Clearly the cuisine will not be bringing me back, especially when there is often a wait for seats at this popular restaurant with a view, but maybe I will for the sunset. read more

The reservation arrangements were not clear via Oaklands website and social media page. They claim to not take reservations and walk-ins only but was not accommodating to seat my mother and myself for Mother's Day. We arrived at a decent time around 4:30pm just to be told by a rude senior woman at the front saying, "you should've called first", as if she knew for certain I didn't in the past to check if they take reservations. Imagine driving one hour to Hampton bays from central Long Island to this place to be told nonsense. On top of that they had the nerve to tell us to wait 45 min. I think not! Save yourself time and go next door to Sundays on the Bay where they welcome you in even without reservations and are professional about it. My mother had a great time elsewhere! read more

Oakland's Restaurant & Marina - Much better restaurant next door - Seafood Near Me - Hampton Bays, New York

Pretty spot on the water, great service! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner . Sunsets are amazing .

They did not take to-go orders apparently on friday when I went so I had to dine on. Furthermore the people upfront dont take orders they pointed me to the bar in which the bartender took forever to get to me to tell me that there's no to go orders. I ended up just eating in. -the clam chowder literally the worse ive had. It taste like water -shrimp quesadilla was mid at best -the calamari was definitely the only highly Good views outside and that's about it. Wont recommend and won't be back. Prices are out the door ridiculous too read more

On our first leg of a trip down South, Oaklands showed their true colors as greedy opportunists. The wind had picked up and my boat was dragging the anchor. Just needing a safe place to tie up for the night we cruised over to Oaklands, a place we not only frequented, but have also held several family parties there, at the restaurant of course. This was our first dealing with the marina. Our plan was to go out of Shinnecock inlet first thing in the morning. Oaklands charged us $10 per foot to tie up for the night. I was shocked by the indifference that this establishment showed to a local somewhat regular customer. All the way down the East coast every marina we stopped at was not only fair in price, the highest was $3.00 per ft. so far, but were more than accommodating. This is what happens when businesses become too big and successful to care much for their customers. It's only about the money and each person is treated as potential source of funds. There are other nice places to eat, but not many nearby marinas. Avoid if you can. read more

Beautiful atmosphere on the water. Incredibly limited options if you don't eat seafood. They didn't even have a chicken dish or a burger on the menu. I ordered a pasta with vegetables and the server told me I couldn't ask for it without certain vegetables. I'm not sure if that's true. When it came time for dessert, I asked about the gelato listed and the server said they don't have gelato, and they just have ice cream. When I asked ice cream flavors it was only chocolate or vanilla. I'm not a fan of having things listed on the menu, but not having them available to order. I also got a mudslide as a drink and it's not the same as how they used to make it. I was disappointed. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant very much. Doesn't take reservations so get there early. Nice lobster special.

Went here for a birthday dinner for seven guests. First tried to sit us in an outside small round table inside the restaurant with wicker chairs for 7 adults. Had to argue that one. Then finally us sat outside with an appropriate table. The pasta meals were awful arrived warm not hot and tastless. The salad with chicken was cold and soggy. Very expensive for the meals we had and very disappointed. read more

The food was amazing. Didn't get much pics cause wa too busy eating. Our server was attentive and ambiance wonderful but as I've said before anything by the water in the summertime and I'm biased. read more

Oakland's Restaurant & Marina - Grilled Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Hampton Bays, New York

We received a gift certificate here and we're excited to use it. We came on a Saturday for lunch, around 1 pm. They have a huge beautiful deck which swerves around with plenty of seating. It fills up quickly. We opted to eat inside by a window. My husband ordered a special, the soft shell crab. It was huge! It was so crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was perfectly seasoned and he loved it. I enjoyed the chef's tacos which consisted of shrimp, salmon and swordfish, peppers and corn. It was so very good. They serve it with warm corn tortillas, which I think are homemade. You put it all together yourself. There was guacamole, sour cream and rice with beans on the side. The seafood in both dishes were absolutely fresh. Delicious. I wish we lived closer to this place; it took us about 2 hrs to get there, and it was worth it. I also want to mention our waiter, Saige. I'm not sure of the spelling but he was terrific. He explained all of the specials and everything in them and served with them. There were plenty of them. He was also very attentive, coming over many times to ask how things were and did we need anything. The place itself is decorated nicely, and the decks are great! I would recommend. read more

Great location. Food is great and the staff is so friendly. Outside and inside dining. Outside bar has music on the water.

Not sure why this place has 3 stars at the moment but it's fantastic! The smell of fresh sea breeze and the sunset views cannot be beat. Service was very good and the food delicious to match. I would definitely recommend checking it out for ambiance and bar alone. We came for the lobster bake which happens every Monday and Tuesday in the summer. It came with a steamed lobster, soup or salad, and shrimp/mussels as well as corn on the cob. It was quite good! We also had a couple of drinks that complimented the food nicely. See for yourself! read more

I love going to Oaklands and I live here year round. I adore the food, and the ambience and the fishing boats and the sunset. We love taking our guests there. Especially a little "off season" or weekdays are best, to beat the crowds! Just one question....we love the hot sourdough bread and honey butter, but does anyone think it may not be sourdough? It's so yummy, but it doesn't have the aroma or tang of sourdough. That being said, it's still melts in your mouth! read more

Came for dinner on a Saturday night and it was packed. It's a nice nautically decorated restaurant right by the water, so as expected, they specialize in seafood. Since the place was packed, we had a bit of a wait before we were seated. Our orders were taken shortly after being seated, and it was good. For an appetizer, we tried the calamari. It was crispy on the outside with tender squid on the inside. I had the seafood pasta for my entree. It was OK. The seafood was fresh but I found it a bit bland. The pasta was very overcooked, almost mushy. The sauce was watery and i generally found the whole dish under seasoned. For the price, i think you'd be able to find better seafood. read more

We were in the Hampton Bay Area and wanted to enjoy waterfront dining , might as well since the weather is still beautiful... originally we were supposed to go to sundays on the bay which is in the same area but when we arrived we didn't like the rowdy crowd and thought Oakland's looked nicer so we went in and had a 40 min wait which isn't so bad since it's beautifully located by the water . We were seated at a perfect table right by the water , it was around 5:30 pm so the sun wasn't too strong , it was just right . We ordered two appetizers and asked that they be brought out first before our entrees and we were starving so every minute felt like an hour LOL Quite some time went by and still no apps ... Finally our waiter comes with our entrees so I mentioned the apps and he said oh what did you order ? Mind you he took our initial order , so we told him and he brought them out . So I give 5 starts for ambiance , view and setting and 3 stars for the food . It was nothing special , lacked flavor but I would still return because of the amazing views and ambiance . Had some dessert after dinner and our fave was the toasted almond creme brûlée, we also had the apple pie ala mode which was decent and the pecan pie which was overly sweet read more

We had a wonderful time here on Memorial Day! The place is huge which means you won't have to wait too long for a table. While we waited, we were able to get drinks at the bar and sat out on a deck overlooking the water. Bar service was hectic, though. It would have helped to have maybe one other person assisting as there were many people clamoring for cold drinks on a very hot and sunny day. Once seated, we ordered a few apps. My favorite was the crab cake. I got the chicken BLT for my main entree and it did not disappoint. I washed it all down with a deliciously made margarita. Table service was on point, even though it was crowded on a holiday. I'd love to return when I'm back in the Hamptons this summer! read more

Solid 5-stars, from attentive & courteous service to the fabulous food! Flounder sandwich is a fantastic balance of fresh hot fried fish with crispy lettuce with a bit of onion.

An awesome location for Brunch and to take a walk and admire the scenic views near the Shinnecock Canal and Inlet.

What a great lunch we had. I was very happy to see the sign at the entrance that said- "No animals". I just think that dogs don't belong in places where food is served. Just my opinion. Service was excellent. Views were outstanding! read more

Food good went for lobster bash Tuesday July 15 3025 waiter clueless we will call him ben nice friendly think he gets by on his looks or wasn't trained properly for the restaurant. After dinner drinks dessert went to the outside bar ordered more drinks . The female bartender I asks for Casamigos Blanco Tequila splash of soda limes I literally saw her take some rack tequila poor that in the glass then topped it off with Casamigos Blanco Tequila! When I called her out on it she got all stupid like no I didn't $20 bucks . Sip it disgusting! Not to get into a thing with her I went to the inside bar and told the bartender what happened but before I can say I wanted a fresh drink he takes the bottle of Casamigos Blanco Tequila and pours it on top of the drink to the top of glass with a smug attitude like there happy now and goes back to entertaining his customers. Who seemed to be enjoying his ridiculous antics probably pouring expensive alcohols like water to line his tip jar . . I go back outside couldn't even drink it just left it my $20 drink gross ! When my friends and I were leaving I went back inside to the bar and asked the girls who worked there and use me what's the bartender name they all seemed to swooned that's Justin with giddy smiles and then he was there and I said thanks just wanted his name ! Why five girls who obviously worked there were all just standing there at the end of the bar I'm clueless . Restaurant was far from closing time . I was visiting hampton bays as a guest of a friend who has summer home there and I told her I will never ever go back nor do I suggest you take anyone else there ! It's seemed like a big party for the bar people who seem classless to me who I think we're all drinking behind the bar just but there actions ! Sad poor management I believe is the problem as long as sales are good who cares about dissatisfaction of a customer read more

With the summer season nearing it's end here in The Hamptons, you could never tell here at Oakland's Restaurant. Our two hour Thursday night wait for a table was screaming this is the "Heigth of the Season" territory! With two complete bars, inside and outside dining areas and a parking lot that could accommodate a Yankee's game, this place was hopping. I thought to myself that either this place is really good or these happy New Yorkers are getting their last licks in before the season changes. My conclusion after eating here was it was a little of both. My wedge salad with it's aged rouquerort dressing and my aged New York steak cooked a perfect medium rare were very good. My side of fries were crispy and delicious. The bar was pouring generous drinks and our outdoor table was the perfect place to watch the days fishing and recreational boats come in and dock for the night. Our waiter was this articulate young man who was obviously on his last legs of this summer job, but approuched our table like it was Memorial Day not Labor Day. This was a refreshing attitude. I genuinely liked The Oakland and that's saying a lot coming from this triple type A guy who goes bazerk at a red light, let alone wait two hours for a table! read more

A staple of Hampton Bays. Great outdoor dining space, large patio, live music by the outdoor bar. The menu is seafood heavy with only 1 or 2 non seafood options so if you're not a seafood fan this might not be the spot for you. Also wish they would take reservations after many years of walk-ins only and long waits, even on weeknights. But it's worth the wait every year! read more

I have to say, drinks outside and inside great. Dinner was so pland. Our waitress Paulina was great.
