Tried this place with my friend when we were visiting during the summer and we loved it! We were new to the area and didn't really know where to go and we stumbled upon this place. Really nice views of the ocean and boats coming in. They had a very mellow vibe! We stayed here for probably 2 hours enjoying a few courses here and there of a variety of seafood. Everything was fresh and great. The service was so great and everyone working seemed so happy! I will say I think we overstayed our welcome because after a couple hours I had an important phone call and they seemed to be annoyed that we asked for a different table with a quieter setting but other than that everybody else was Amazing!

It's over guys, this place is in the tank. I say that ONLY when absolutely positively necessary.. Hit up Montauk for my mothers birthday. For early dinner late lunch knew Gosman's would be reliable for outdoor dining on the water... lets' go! An hour later we are all sick. I knew the chowders both looked gummed up and one was LUKE warm in summer.. Not ideal when temperature is everything in food service safety. Fish and chips seeeeemed like cooked in old oil based on the amount of absorbed oil and not bright color of the fried outside... I know fresh fried oil because I am a super fan of Bigelows in RVC for that very reason.. always changing always fresh. No call to BOH... try not to be a jerk... if we lived. Did call the restaurant first thing next day, insisted on a manager... and spoke to 4 times.. not once.. four times.... They insisted they would take care of the food issue... and we told them no refund needed on the whole meal... just the soups... why? Stupid.... we felt bad they were seasonal and hate being mean. So these meatheads said ok we will refund the two soups that made you sick.. and went on to look it up and insisted they couldnt find the ticket... and called and left messages 4 times back and forth needed cc number.. Ok so we kept calling back and each time... kept missing each other..... Finally one person said... they took care of it and had the cooks throw out the old soup.. No refund, no 5th call back.. Just an outright food hazard, disorganized young managers... and not somewhere to eat food with your parents.. Stick to drinks and watch your back here. Gosman's is officially not the Gosman's you knew and loved.

We had the seaweed salad, lobster bisque and fried calamari for appetizers, and for dinner, the fish/chips, salmon over quinoa/veggies, and scallops. All were very well prepared, with sizable portions.

We went on a quiet Tuesday afternoon and were greeted as if we were an imposition. Once the server came, we asked a few questions and she referred us to the bottom of the menu that states no substitutions. I ordered a grilled fish sandwich and my wife ordered an ahi tuna bowl (removing a few items she didn't want but not substituting). The tuna came with fish eggs on top which my wife doesn't eat and she asked the server if the description stated fish eggs. She told her it did and walked away. My wife tried to remove them but then got the menu to find that were not listed. Reluctantly, she took it away and remade it. My fish them came out and was fried, I advised I ordered grilled and she simply took it and walked away. The remade tuna came out with spicy mayo on it and although it was ordered on the side, we just kept it at that point. I understand mistakes happen but an apology (or 2) would have gone a long way. I would suggest finding another place in Montauk to eat.

It was a beautiful day and we arrived to be told we could not sit outside and view was same from all inside seats but that's not true of sunset we came to see. Ordered appetizer baked clams oregano . Horrible. A whole clam with over dried bread crumbs. We asked our waitress for recommendations and she had none and said whatever you like to eat. I had catch of the day fish tacos on corn tortilla and my husband had linguini and clam sauce. These dishes were both good. We did not stay for dessert. We felt the restaurant is over priced for the quality and the service. Location location I guess but that changed when not allowed to eat outside , yet bar patrons were sitting outside next to bar? We always loved this restaurant. We have been coming for years, but something has definitely changed. I do not expect to come back.

We love Inlet for so many reasons. Who but true local fishing captains could bring such authentic delicious seafood dishes to tables offering beautiful harbor, inlet and bay views as they do here? They clearly take pride in sharing their day's bounty with the visitors and locals who dine here. The quality and freshness of the food is reflected in the taste. The staff is made up of real, hard-working locals who take the time to make sure our food is prepared to our liking. Make the drive around to the far side of the harbor! The food and the views are worth it!

Overpriced, average service. Location is great on the water. Worst New England clam chowder I have ever had. One little piece of fish in each of the fish tacos.

This is my second visit, I am from the UK however my sister lives about 6 Miles from here. I was really looking forward to returning however my experience this time was not as good. The lady behind the bar was miserable and could barely speak, we ordered cocktails of which there was a good selection and a portion of deep fried squid both of which were lovely it’s a shame she wasn’t so! The view is terrific and there were some lovely people in to chat to, there is a nice vibe in here and I will certainly go back.

Tried to go twice this summer. Tonight we called first to see how long the wait was. They only have a recording. So we drove 20 minutes only to be told they were not taking anymore names, because there was a 3 hour wait. More power to them for not needing to take reservations. Please just answer the phone do people don’t waste their time☹️

Ceviche, kale salad, and 2 sushi rolls for lunch. What a great outdoor spot for lunch., on the water. Lobster tacos looked amazing.

I hesitate to write this as this is a hidden gem I don't want to ever change. Topside is a slice of heaven that is located at one of the prettiest sites I've ever been. Watch the boats come and go as you enjoy the most delicious food and excellent service. If your lucky, you can get a seat in the bar area and have Julie or Aaron make your cocktails. They are both so much fun. I have been going for years and have never been disappointed

We went to this nice restaurant to celebrate Father's Day. It was a perfect day and they sat us outside. It was our 2nd time there. I remember the fish was excellent as well as our other dishes. This time flute was in the specials and we ordered it. We both ordered it and the kids had great pasta with kids menu. My daughter ordered the tuna tartar and she loved it. Everything was very fresh and quantity was enough to share. The flute came with rice and veggies. We had a delightful evening. It was definitely one of the best fishes I ever had Our waitress was very polite and courteous. She took the orders and food came pretty fast. We can sit inside with AC or outside. We sat outside and weather was cool We really like the food and will definitely go back again.

Once upon a time, in the summer of 1977, Greg and his group of friends decided to let loose and have an unforgettable night at Gosman's in Montauk. The stars sparkled brightly overhead as they stepped into the buzzing atmosphere of the iconic restaurant.The night started innocently enough, with laughter, camaraderie, and endless rounds of drinks. The disco beats echoed throughout the venue, inviting everyone to dance and celebrate life. As the hours passed, the energy escalated, and Greg found himself fully immersed in the euphoria of the party.Unbeknownst to Greg, he had consumed a bit more than he could handle, and the drinks began to cloud his judgment. With inhibitions cast aside, he started to take part in daring stunts and even attempted a moonwalk across the dance floor, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd.However, as the night wore on, Greg's antics became riskier and more outrageous. He climbed on top of tables, attempted to recreate the famous John Travolta dance moves, and even led a conga line through the restaurant, much to the amusement of some and the concern of others.The restaurant staff tried their best to manage the situation, but Greg's party spirit was unstoppable. Unfortunately, his exuberance led to accidental spills and minor damages, and some patrons began to express their discontent with the disruptions.It wasn't long before the local authorities were alerted about the chaotic scene at Gosman's. Montauk's police officers arrived to restore order and ensure everyone's safety. As the music faded, the flashing lights of police cars illuminated the parking lot.Greg's wild night of partying had come to an unexpected halt, and he found himself face-to-face with the stern but understanding police officers. After assessing the situation, they made the decision to detain Greg and a few of his rowdier friends for the night.Inside the confines of the jail cell, the reality of their actions began to sink in. What was meant to be a night of celebration had turned into a series of regrettable decisions. As the night turned to dawn, Greg and his friends reflected on the events that led them to this predicament.The next day, they were released with a warning and a reminder to party responsibly. The escapade at Gosman's had left them with a cautionary tale to share, one that would be retold with a mix of laughter and humility in the years to come.From that night onwards, Greg learned to cherish the memories of wild partying but also understood the importance of moderation and respect for others while having fun. Gosman's remained a symbol of their youthful adventures, and whenever they returned, they would raise a toast to the unforgettable night that landed Greg and his friends in jail--a night they'd never forget.

The sushi was great, we sat at the bar and the service was great. Ordered the stuffed lobster dinner and the lobster was fresh and tasty, but the guts weren’t cleaned out before the stuffing was added and the stuffing was terrible is tasted like mushy white bread and the seafood that was suppose to be in was not detectable. I’ve eaten here many times and this is the first problem I’ve had.

You like boats? This place is just opposite of Inlet...so boats views are great!Don't go for the food...go for the views of the boats.Service is ok not great...but the views of the boats are amazing! The end.
