Keep your expectations extremely low. Our table was placed directly in front of the band, making conversation impossible while being constantly bumped into by drunk people vaping—apparently the norm here.
Service was terrible. Our appetizer arrived, and by the time we were done with it, the server finally appeared to ask if everything was okay. Soon after, our main courses came, but no silverware was offered. I asked several people, several times, waited 10 minutes, and finally had to go on the hunt myself for basic dining utensils.
When I finally sat down to eat, a busboy dragged a garbage pail out to clean the table next to us. Dining literally beside trash—super gross.
To make it worse, our server didn’t return for at least 30 minutes after the food was dropped. As a former hospitality worker, I can honestly say this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.

What you see is what you get! A beautiful view of the water but the pizza was just ok! The square slice was better than the round slice

Food was good. Gets crowded. Server would not give me a separate check. Contemplated sitting directly next to my party. Then I could get my own bill. It's disappointing when you pay more because restaurant won't give you your own check.

A group of eight people were there to celebrate a birthday on August 29, 2024. every one of us said the food was horrible. We ordered stuffed flounder which was dry and over cooked and tasteless. Roasted potatoes had so much garlic you couldn’t even eat it. The asparagus, which I always love were horrible. How can you mess up asparagus is beyond me. Another person got the scallops. The chef does not know how to cook. They try to be so fancy that they ruined everything either it’s overcooked or undercooked. My experience and the others with me all said they need a new chef the food is terrible. As far as the atmosphere, it’s beautiful to be on the water. That’s about it. The service wasn’t great either. We told the waitress that the lobster was tough and the other dinner’s were either tasteless or over cooked and dry. All she said was sorry. I will never go back there and I don’t think people should go there if they want a great meal. The prices are very high, which would be OK if you got good food. I don’t mind paying for excellent food, which that was NOT.

Food is not bad, but nothing special. Typical for Fire Island.
It is a very relaxing atmosphere to have a meal while admiring the views of the Great South Bay. There is plenty of covered outdoor seating.

Great service. Brandon was very helpful
Rocket fuels aren’t the strongest but the food was decent. The atmosphere is fun and enjoyable.

Food is mediocre and expensive, and it's very loud with a younger drinking crowd.

A delight and a treasure
Went there off-season so our experience was definitely subpar. Service was pretty gruff, we felt like we were disturbing the locals. You'd think they would be more welcoming when business has slowed dramatically. More than half the menu was unavailable so I just had the Schooner burger with blue cheese crumbles. It was good, not great. I imagine it's a better time experience during the summer, so YMMV.
