This is for the restaurant/food only. We sat upstairs with a great view of the pier and perfect time to see the sunset. But the food definitely didn't add to the experience. We ordered a piña colada to start and it didn't have any alcohol. The server graciously offered to have it remade, the second one was a little better. I also ordered a ginger ale it was flat and tasted watered down. The food took a while to come out but the atmosphere made up for it. Keep in mind there is a loud bar very close by but we enjoyed the music. I had the fish and chips which were of course from frozen, there were two tiny pieces on top of a basket of fries. It was barely edible. The pasta was a decent portion and cooked well . The servers were nice but the overall service was slow. The prices are high and I would only go back to eat if I had no other options. There are 3 other restaurants around and they all have mixed reviews . I rather get a slice of pizza or go to Sand Castle and pay extra for slightly better food.
$30 burger and fries is insane. ($27 + tax. +tip, $35) No wonder we were the only table eating at 6pm. Granted the burger was good, these prices need reevaluation. The bill was $110 for 2 burgers a corona and a small margarita. It’s no wonder the server stood over us while waiting to see if we would tip. Which we did, of course. Excellent waiter btw. But these prices. If you do a fair price the boys would flood and you would not be reliant on the bar at the dance floor.
My favorite place to get cocktails on Fire Island and the food is always good.
The stench coming from behind the bar was unbearable!!! Bartender was attentive got a bottled beer cause I didn’t know how sanitary it was. I don’t drink beer .. it wasn’t low tied and I know fire island has drainage problems but this was not that. They need to use bleach and give it a good disinfectant cleaning.
