New American Restaurants in Montauk, NY

“We had a lovely meal at Gig Shack! You’re definitely paying for the atmosphere. I was a bit frustrated to be paying $28 for a burger and waffle fries, only to have normal fries come out. I asked our waiter and he said they were out of waffle fries. I wouldn’t have minded too much if he had let us know, it just was a bit odd to have our meal slightly downgraded with no notice. Nice music, though, and what we got was good. Wish I had waffle fries, though.“

“The Crow’s Nest effortlessly combines laid-back Montauk vibes with refined, seasonal cooking. The setting is beautiful, with sunset views over Lake Montauk. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired, fresh, and beautifully executed — from grilled seafood to vibrant vegetable dishes that showcase local ingredients. The atmosphere is both lively and intimate, whether you’re sipping cocktails by the fire pits or dining under string lights. Definitely one of Montauk’s true gems.“

“We had a Celebration of Life for my father. 33 people in attendance for passed hors d’oeuvres and a buffet. The food and service were fabulous and the setting was stunning, but I felt a little rushed at the end, and there was not enough desert.“

“The atmosphere is seaside casual. An open floor plan exists with a nice bar on one side. It’s airy inside with high ceilings. The food and service is always great. The specials are always a delight. Prices are moderate and fair. Portions are generous.“

“Our experience was absolutely phenomenal at the Igloos!!! We were on an overnight trip to Gurneys and it was the perfect addition to a couples night out. We had nice alone time + the food, service, drinks and vibes were top tier. We enjoyed the artisanal platter, the pretzel, the salmon & filet mignon. I was so beyond happy we made the decision to eat here! So well worth every penny! The board games and awesome music in the igloos were a phenomenal touch!“

“It was my first time at Ruschmeyer’s in Montauk, and from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The front desk team was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond—helping with my bags and giving me a great lay of the land.

The rooms were beautifully designed, spacious, and comfortable. But the real magic was in the shared spaces—the expansive lawn, cozy fire pits (complete with a s’mores kit!), shady trees perfect for relaxing, and a stylish bar and lounge area inside.

The location couldn’t be better—just about 0.7 miles to downtown and the beach, making for an easy walk or bike ride. We made the most of our time here and are leaving tan, full, and completely satisfied. Couldn’t ask for more—already looking forward to my next visit!“
