Surfside Inn is one of Montauk’s most beloved seaside dining spots—a place where fresh seafood, comfortable coastal dishes, and sweeping ocean views come together for a relaxed yet memorable meal. Whether you're stopping in for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or simply to enjoy the breezy Montauk vibe, Surfside Inn delivers an experience that captures the heart of the East End.

Ambiance

The ambiance at Surfside Inn is calm, warm, and unmistakably coastal. With its charming inn-style setting, nautical touches, and windows that frame the Atlantic, the restaurant offers one of Montauk’s most inviting atmospheres. The dining room remains cozy and intimate, while the ocean views add a serene backdrop perfect for sunset meals and special occasions. Guests can expect attentive service and a relaxed pace that encourages lingering, especially in the evening when the lighting softens and the shoreline comes into view.

Food Highlights

Surfside Inn is known for its seafood-forward menu, featuring classic preparations that highlight freshness and flavor. Start with the clam chowder, rich and hearty, or the crab cakes, which are crisp on the outside and tender inside.

Popular entrees include the pan-seared scallops, beautifully caramelized and served with seasonal sides, and the lobster tail, a favorite for those craving something indulgent. The surf and turf is another standout—perfectly cooked steak paired with fresh seafood for a satisfying, well-balanced meal.

For guests looking beyond seafood, the roast chicken and pasta dishes offer comfort-driven alternatives that still deliver plenty of flavor.

Drinks to Try

The bar offers a selection of wines chosen to complement the menu, along with classic cocktails ideal for sipping while taking in the view. A refreshing rum punch or a crisp white wine pairs perfectly with the seafood-heavy offerings.
