“ I meet friends here every summer and we're never disappointed. Every dish and drink is beautifully presented and delicious- good portion sizes, perfectly seasoned and freshly prepared. Waterfront view from patio cannot be beat because you are right on the Great South Bay (interior is air conditioned, open and airy if you prefer). Service is courteous if a bit slower than we preferred (parking lot is metered). Shrimp in Trench Coats w/aioli appetizer is a must have!! ”
“ Nice little waterfront restaurant. Food was so good , I was not a fan of the style of the salmon but the texture was top quality. The dessert was very nice . Ice cream and almonds are a great combination. Will happily return. ”
“ My husband and I went with another couple and had a bunch of delicious appetizers! We had not been here in years and I am not sure why because the food is amazing!! We had the octopus, baked clams, calamari, oysters and seafood salad. Will be back again soon! ”
“ I brought my girlfriend there for her birthday , what an unforgettable birthday dinner as the sunset with a beautiful view. It's not your normal run of the mill restaurant you go to eat too like every other weekend. Also parking sucks there. We had to park by the town dock and pay a meter. Then we had to walk a little to get there. As though the restaurant is located in a difficult to get too location, I do understand it's precisely put there for a good reason. During the evening as the sun goes down from the west. As the sun rays bounce off the water and the colors in the sky makes the dining room look perfect. Also you can just walk up and expect to get a table on a summer night. They will tell you they are booked for the night so reservations are just a must. All the food was fresh and cocktails where absolutely delicious in the service was good, as they accommodated us for her birthday. Its an excellent returtant. Im Definitely looking forward to going there again. ”
“ This place has one of the best seafood. All the ingredients in all the food we ordered complimented each other. I had the shrimp and scallop fettuccine and OH MY GOD, I must say this was the best I had. And the view was just so amazing. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in New York. ”
“ 4.5 stars- Really enjoyed a late lunch at Fatfish. Their raw bar was fresh and each dish was tasty. Service was exceptional and you cannot beat eating with a beautiful view of the water. The fish and chips was okay, but the batter on the fish was more doughy than crispy. Can not wait to be back and try more dishes ”
“ I recently visited this spot and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, and the view was absolutely stunning. ”
“ Great place. Stunning views, you are right on the water! They have a nice outdoor area with flaps that can be closed on cold days making this an ideal place for any weather! And the food is delicious as well! I would definitely recommend the mushroom gnocchi! They also have a very good beer/wines/cocktail selection. On top of it, you get excellent service and a very friendly staff. And to round it all up, the dessert drinks are delicious and a must try! ”
