    SOO delicious! My girlfriend got the sesame crusted salmon and I got the octopus and it was genuinely one of the most savory meals I've ever had. Our server was really nice too and the view was incredible. The price is pretty high, but it was expected.

    Shrimp cocktail and crab n corn chowder... I think?

    I love this spot! This place has been around for a while and def has gotten progressively better! I probably will come in here almost every time I'm on cherry grove, at least for a drink and app quick before I head home. Their arancini and Brussels sprouts were perfect apps for me n my peeps to share... I popped in yesterday right off a nice afternoon of chillin on the beach and had a full dinner, we loved it. Picks were: Shrimp cocktail Crab and corn chowder Filet mignon Sea bass Apple crumb tart Choc. Choc. Chip cookie sandwich w choc ice cream 2 coffees and 2 aperol spritz's $205, and honestly we loved everything .. Had a great time with great views, highly recommend reservation if coming on a weekend and you want to catch the sunset. Big shout out to Travis, the bartender that we literally scream his name on the top of our lungs every time we see him (... and he's a good sport about it)... lol.

    The food portion here is just sad. The photo of the poke bowl is $28. And the chicken wings are $21 for 5 wings. This is just ridiculous.

    We just had one of the best nights so far this summer and it was all due to our bartender PJ who recommended dinner since tonight was the first night of their summer menu! I had the mussels which are fantastic every year and this year was no exception, meaty and delicious! My husband, however, had the sole and we both agreed, this was hands down the best sole we have ever had! The lemony buttery sauce was light and didn't over power the fish and the capers, really just perfect!! But wait, you have to try the desert!! I don't happen to like carrot cake and I almost stole my husbands entire desert, it was that good! We had an amazing night for our anniversary, good people, great food and we even got to meet the chef! Kudos!!

    This was the first meal we had on the island based on the recommendation of our Airbnb host. We were the first to arrive for dinner and they let us sit at the bar until the kitchen opened. George was our bartender and he made us some perfect martinis. We liked George so much that we decided to just stay at the bar for dinner. I ordered Pad Thai which was also great. So excellent first meal on the island, probably will be back.

    Fantastic option when in Cherry Grove. Make a Resy during sunset for a lovely atmosphere. Food (steak, fish and Dan Dan) and drinks are always solid and the vibe is more upscale for dinner than the daytime frozen drink crowd. It's not cheap, but it's not easy to get all the menu items to the island so you have to take that into account. We're definitely in for one dinner here each time we visit.

    The food and service was top notch. Definitely go on Friday lobster night. The lobster was delicious. Sitting by a beach view table only added to the ambiance. Loved my desert -- chocolate ice cream cookie. Delicious and decadent.

    The first restaurant we came crossed coming from the beach. It was raining when we walked in. It seemed that almost everybody used the place as an option to take a break from water and had dining for the meantime. We were given the chance to be seated in the area with water view . Being said that the place was packed , it was not the best seat... still enjoyed the partial view. Ambiance is cool , calm and relax. Our waiter was the sweetest of all. Our order was delivered less than expected time. We tried their lobster in a roll and was surprised when I see that it was served in a croissant, amazingly delicious, a different taste to my buds.The vegan pasta was good. Enjoyed their Fire Island special cocktail , geez that was strong and their spritz was beyond my expectations . Pricing is a bit more than standards but hey , dining in Cherry Grove is what matters.

    When you go to The Blue Whale, you're literally stepping into a piece of gay history. For…read moregenerations, it's been the Cheers of Fire Island. There are so many stories tied to this place, including its role in the beginnings of the Fire Island Invasion. It's one of those spots that actually means something to the community. I come to Fire Island every year with my friends, and while I've never tried the food, that's honestly not why people come here. Everyone shows up for low tea, which is basically happy hour starting at 4 PM. It starts picking up around 6, and that's when it hits. You'll see every gay from NYC who's on the island for the week, the weekend, or even just the day. The best part about tea here is that it's your first real look at who's around. It's super social and makes it easy to connect with people. If you're going with a group, lean into it and do a themed tea with coordinated outfits. Nothing is too corny or off-limits. That's part of the Fire Island tradition. They also host drag shows during the week with Bubbles, which are always a good time. And you really never know who you'll run into. Over the years I've seen Milk, Billy Porter, Andy Cohen, and a bunch of Broadway people just casually there. Of course, you have to get the punch. It's a mix of multiple liquors and juices, and somehow no one ever finishes more than one. If you do, just know you're signing up for a brutal hangover. Only downside is how packed it gets during tea. It can take a minute to get a drink, so just go in expecting a little bit of a wait.

    Really nice atmosphere. The brunch menu is a little small, but the options are pretty good. My…read morefriends and I got a carafe of mimosas, they were $42 so not bad. There's basically a full bottle of prosecco and triple sec in it, so extremely strong for a good price. My brunch burger was pretty good, the burger was a little over cooked but overall good. The garlic fries are fabulously seasoned and very crispy so I loved them.
