    Sunset at the marina

    Been craving a lobster roll and a change of scenery, and Sundays On The Bay in Hampton Bays did not disappoint. Right on Dune Road between the beaches and the Shinnecock Canal, it's the kind of place where you can show up exactly as you are. Relaxed, welcoming, and a refreshing break from some of the East End's more pretentious vibe. I went with the cold lobster roll, packed with generous chunks of lobster and just the right amount of celery and dressing, paired with truffle fries. Around the table, some big hits were the baked clams (an absolute must), Rigatoni Bruschetta, and Salomon. Plus the Aperol Spritz, Cosmopolitans, Spicy Margs, and draft beer bar made it easy for all of us to settle in. What I wasn't expecting was the live music that kicked off while we were there. Before I knew it, we'd stayed hours longer than planned, sitting on the patio watching fishing boats make their way back through the canal as the sky turned shades of orange over the water. Definitely one of those places that reminds you that the best summer memories are the ones that make you smile long after the sun has set

    Service was good. Food was good. Nice atmosphere. Oysters Rockefeller... not good! So small- they should not have served it that way. At least add some spinach and plump it up

    Vegan Rosa Tagliatelle

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 6 Decor: 8 Value: 6 Overall: 7 On a busy Saturday night with a beautiful sunset, this nice looking beachside restaurant was popping. Five of us walked in and were told that the outside patio was full. However, we were lucky enough to get the only indoor table left. Looking over the menu, we started with a handful of appetizers to share. The dozen Raw Topneck Clams were clean and briny, just how I like them. Fried Calamari was excellent too, crispy and super tender. The Grilled Peach & Burrata was good, but the peach could have been sweeter. Unfortunately, the New England Clam Chowder was too salty and smoky from the bacon. It covered much of the clam flavor that I was looking for. Still decent. However, the Crab Cakes taste more like potato croquettes. These were really bad. Skip! As for the entrees, we were all very impressed with the House Burger. Talk about a perfectly medium rare cooked thick beef patty, nicely charred and juicy. The Pan Seared Scallops with a lobster corn salad was delightful. Lastly, the Vegan Rosa Tagliatelle had a robust garlicky tomato sauce, although we didn't really taste any cashew. Located in by the water with such a gorgeous backdrop, I guess the high prices were expected, and the portion sizes are not bad. Service was friendly when available, but somewhat absent at times. Regardless, I would be satisfied with a meal here whenever I'm back in Hampton Bay.

    TV in the bar!

    We have been coming here for years, our latest visit, today, was disappointing. Wings are gone from the menu. The crab cakes were over cooked and missing the crab meat, the baked clams had no clams in the breading, and the clams with linguine was way too spicy for all three of us. We were forced to use their valet parking, and no longer are you allowed to walk down the pier and enjoy the views. Instead of the usually fun TV's in the bar being tuned to the latest sporting events, they had romance movies on them...weird. With all that said, if you have never come here before, it's worth going once. For us, we are now on a quest to find a new favorite place on Dune Road.

    Came here with family and this place was great. Beautiful atmosphere and the staff were great. We chose to sit outside and they had beautiful outdoor seating on the water enclosed off and it was very nice. The inside is very nice as well, but it was beautiful day so we chose to eat outside. The food here was good and what I liked is it doesn't get packed like there other restaurants Oaklands they own right next to them. I feel the younger crowd flocks to Oaklands and Sundays is more the older crowd. Either way both restaurants are great. I got a burger and my wife got fish and chips and both were great! I would definitely come back and look forward to trying different items off the menu. Food 9/10 Staff 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Parking accessibility 10/10 Look forward to coming back and highly recommend!

    The food at Sundays on the Bay is solid -- fresh and well-prepared, with a menu that delivers exactly what you'd expect from a waterside spot. Unfortunately, the service and management leave much to be desired. Staff were noticeably unfriendly, and the wait for service was unreasonably long, even though there were plenty of empty tables available outside. Despite the space, the host refused to seat us there, which felt more like poor management than policy. The vibe is very local, which can be charming if you're familiar with the scene, but don't expect much in the way of hospitality. Could be worth a visit for the food and view -- just don't come hungry or in a rush.

    Flavorless oysters and New England clam chowder that tastes like Progresso
    Danielle P.

    This was meh. We came here for their weekly twin lobster special (two twin lobsters with corn and a potato for $55). We were able to walk in with no reservation on a Monday night and were quickly seated. After a round of drinks, we started with a few appetizers - New England Clam Chowder (because I'm on a mission to sample them all), some oysters on the half shell and baked clams. The oysters had no flavor and lacked that "fresh out of the water" salinity, the New England Clam Chowder tasted like someone threw a bunch of extra herbs into a can of Progresso and the baked clams were bland and overdone. Despite all of this I was still hopeful that my steamed lobster would be fine...how bad can you mess up lobster, right? I don't know where they get these lobsters from that they're this cheap, but they were also a bit rubbery but still edible, so I drowned mine with butter and made the best of it. The seafood stuffing I added on for $8 was overdone and burnt. Honestly, the best part of this meal was the corn. The ambiance here is probably what draws folks in since it's right on the water, but there's nothing else redeeming about this place. I'd skip it.

    What's left of the delicious local clams in white wine garlic sauce with accompanying baguette
    Tom F.

    Returned to Sundays after several seasonal visits the past couple of years only to be met with disappointment. We were met and greeted immediately and cheerfully and led to a deck table overlooking the marina. Excellent. We were introduced by our smiling, upbeat server Anna (who'd, coincidentally, served us last summer too!). We ordered the clams in garlic white wine sauce, 2 lobster specials (2 lobsters each with 1/2 ear of corn, baked potato and drawn butter) and a bottle of Sancerre to enjoy with it all. I had a perfect spicy Bloody Mary to start off with too! The clams arrived in quick fashion with a small warm baguette. I highly recommend this dish! The clams were each 1/2 dollar sized, cooked perfectly and nestled in a wonderful wine & garlic sauce. Yum! The baguette was perfectly crusty outside and cushiony inside to soak up the clam bowl goodness. Then...the lobsters...served as we've seen in the past. Two steamed 1- 11/4 pound crustaceans with corn & potato side. However, the corn was pretty flavorless & unappealing and all 4 lobsters, sadly & unexpectedly, noticeably overcooked. A shame. Additionally the lobster special price had risen by 10% from $50/pp to $55/pp. A disappointing evening after all. Doesn't mean we won't write it off as an off night and try again...but stirred the "lobster is pretty ubiquitous around here & I'm well qualified to buy it & cook it myself served with better corn & save a lot on the wine" conversation. My prior visits have been 10s and Anna is terrific, so we'll likely return...but the "ubiquitous lobster" talk is gaining traction.

    Wonderful place! The location was perfect (weather helped out), service was prompt and friendly, and the food was amazing. All around great! Started off with the Oysters (cooked), got the Fish Tacos...Fish Sandwich and Lobster Roll. Lobster Roll was mine and delicious! Totally worth the price. The view helped as well, and we were in and out pretty quickly. Highly recommend stopping by if in the area.

    Steamed 2lb Lobster
    Jaime E.

    We came on a Saturday night, party of 7. Make a reservation! Julia was lovely. We sat inside which was fine. A lot of windows and there was a pleasant breeze. No a/c. We came specifically for steamed lobster and we weren't disappointed. I really liked the coleslaw too (sweet with a little vinegar). The staff was friendly. Good place for families and friends.

    Twin lobster special, one with a side of fries and one with a house salad. Always a great sunset overlooking the boat dock!
    Rose A.

    8/8/23 Twin lobsters were on our mind this evening. We ordered one each of our lobsters stuffed with their amazing stuffing. Our server Ryane was very attentive, We opted to bring a few claws and a tail home to make lobster salad tomorrow, I'm sure it will be wonderfully delicious. Sundays on the bay is always a lovely setting and a special treat.

    Location was next to water which is beautiful. The waitresses were nice and we were quickly seated on a high table which can be shared with strangers. We didn't mind because we had a great view of the water for the sunset. Food was good but we had originally decided it order a appetizers to share among 3. We got quite a few things, the kale salad, the crab dip, crab cakes, tuna wontons and mussels in wine. We were surprised to see how little comes with the crab cakes and tuna wontons. The crab dip is really delicious but be aware there is a lot of cheese. Only only negative review would be that since i gave up pork we originally did not know that the award winning clam chowder had bacon in it! It's not noted in the menu which i think definitely should! The scallops entree also has chorizo on it and the baked clams also had bacon in it.

Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

    During our little New Year's trip to the area, we were hoping to get some seafood from Clamman but…read morethey were already closed for the night, so this was our next choice-- and boy, it did not disappoint! We got a huge order-- three piece of fried chicken with wing, thigh and drumstick, as well as the chicken sandwich and fries, mac and cheese side, and an order of hot wings, with an apple pie for dessert. Everything was brought out hot to the car, and they put it right into our trunk, so it was 100% pandemic proof. The fries are really delicious-- nice and thick cut, with good seasoning, the chicken sandwich is TERRIFIC-- nice soft roll, deliciously seasoned and fried chicken, the crisp and slightly sweet bread and butter pickles a perfect complement, and it's not so big that you feel like exploding after (but also-- makes you definitely not want to share!), and of course the chicken itself was nicely done. I was super surprised by how strangely good the wings were, too-- I always like wings, so I was ready to be happy, but these were like... exceptional, and surprisingly big-- really, really MEATY wings. Plus even the carrots and celery and blue cheese that came with were above normal levels of yummy. The only ding to our experience was the apple pie-- it was kind of goopy in an off putting way, like they used that slime from a can of "apple pie filling", so that was sad. But I still gave full stars because I was honestly enthralled by everything else, as was my fiance, so I'd just say maybe skip dessert and enjoy what you should be there for anyway-- the killer chicken.

    Solid 3.5- but wasn't super impressive. The service was a bit slow on a weekday and I didn't love…read morethe food. I guess we should have ordered a burger this being a burger place but the chicken sandwiches were a bit on the dry side.
