Gin Beach Cafe — Restaurant in Town of East Hampton

This was our second year coming and I was as unimpressed as last year. The food was fine-I don't know if it is $200+ good for a family of four, but I expect that in Montauk. We made reservation for a group of 11 a week ago and confirmed it several days. But as mentioned in previous post, the service is rough!!! The employees are nice but there is not enough of them. We were frequently told they only have “one person in the kitchen”. Food was not brought out together. At one point everyone got their meals but myself and six year old daughter. Eventually my chicken showed up but not my daughters chicken fingers (which I would think would be the easiest ti make). Our server didnt return for a long time so it finally took someone in our party shouting “excuse me!!” At a bartender walking by to get help. We had to stop someone twice and just got attitude. My daughters meal finally showed up when some of our party was finishing their meal. I had ordered a side with my entree and it never came. I ordered another beverage…it never came. I honestly would not have tipped 20% except it was already on our bill because of party size. I used to be a server, so I get it!! But it was horrible service!! I was so irritated by the time my chicken came, I didnt even want it. They were aware our large party was coming and they were not prepared. The best part of the meal is the boats and view. I will not be coming back to spend $200 on okay food and...

Had reservation for a large party which was confirmed ahead of time, understanding they are not a large establishment. Apparently they did not plan properly and were unable to seat us. Instead of apologizing and being honest we were sent to bar for $17 drinks and said would be a few minutes. More than an hour later we asked status, and were rudely told we may be able to start seating you separately or we could eat half standing around a bar table which did not fit our party and walked away mid sentence. Another family was then asked to move because we were complaining. Claimed never asked family to move, hard to believe after the other party approached us regarding. Looking to get status on our table after an hour is not complaining, we had a reservation and they did not communicate situation. Mistakes happen but rudeness, non communication and causing additional chaos among patrons is unacceptable. Unprofessional, and incapable...

There are not enough words to describe how happy we were to host our son & “daughter’s” rehearsal dinner at Gin Beach last week! From our first meeting with owner, Amy, we were 100% sure we were in good hands! Even on a rainy night, the view and the atmosphere were exactly what we hoped for! The food & drinks, from cocktail hour on, were amazing! Everyone particularly enjoyed the baked clams! The portions were more than enough. What made it even more memorable was the service. Paulie, Jamie & Amy were top notch…attentive, accommodating and as friendly as can be. There is not one thing I would change or one complaint to be had. Simply the best place to kick off our highly anticipated wedding weekend! This was our first time in Montauk and Gin Beach Cafe has us looking forward to future visits! Thank you so much to Amy and her crew for such a...
