East by NorthEast

Overlooking scenic Fort Pond, East by Northeast is among the most beautiful restaurants on the east end. Serving the freshest Montauk seafood and shellfish, locally grown produce, serious steaks and Long Island and new world wines. The menu is a culinary journey from the Northeast to the Far East. Panoramic sunsets over Fort Pond, a stone wine room, and a comfortable and extremely popular bar and lounge make East by Northeast the perfect choice for a group celebration or an intimate dinner for two. Live music every weekend.

"We came for the view of the water at sunset which was amazing, but were equally impressed by the service, the ambience and, more importantly, the food. We had he prix fixe menu which had most choices on the regular menu. The duck tacos were a wonderful combination of tastes. We had fish dishes, simple and cooked to perfection. I also don't want to forget the bread. It had a hard crust and soft inside. It was a real treat. Food was so good, I made reservations for our second night in Montauk. Our server was delightful, cheerful and efficient."

"WE hadn't dined in this Montauk L.I. restaurant for several years. Returning was great. As this is a tourist area in the Summer we took advantage of an early bird special of $25 pp. The food was excellent. Lourdes our server was efficient and most pleasant.
The early bird ends at Memorial Day. However, it's worth the higher price as a treat after that.

"Duck Taco Appy was amazing, Rib appy was very good. Shrimp in garlic and miso butter was inedible; no flavor.
NY Sirloin Steak tasted very good, but it was cold the 1st time it came out and still cold the 2nd time (it was the same steak that had just been put under the salamander making it crispy on the top but cold in the middle.)
The creme brulee dessert sampler was really good.
The saving grace was the waitress who was exceptional and the manager who tried to make things right. He took the shrimp appy off the bill (we only ate 2 of 7 shrimp) and then a major credit for us only picking at the steak. Based in the service alone we would go back and give it another try.
Did I mention the Duck Taco's were great!!

"Our dinner was delicious! Oysters were clean and crisp. Lobster cakes were greasy but tasty. I had the fish tacos which were tasty.
My only complaint is that they charge for refills for sodas. My spouse and I both had club sodas with a couple of refills and they charged us for each one. We were better off getting a bottle of wine!! Our server didn't tell us which left us with a sour taste."

"We had a very nice dinner with excellent service. We were seated by the window and were able to see the beautiful sunset.
The duck tacos were very tasty as was the chowder. The waiter recommended wine by the glass and her choices were perfect. We had the cod with succotash and the cod tacos, both were good choices. The succotash was really tasty and fresh! We shared the creme brulee- loved it!
Very enjoyable evening with great food and a beautiful view!
(off season so no crowds)

"Went to this gem of a restaurant with friends on a whim. This is now my favorite place to dine. The menu was an interesting blend of Asian fusion delights, with each dish more flavorful than the last. Best summed up as amazing! Particularly loved the duck tacos, creme brûlée sampler in five different flavors and the fried tapioca pudding. Simply scrumptious!"
