The best in MTK. Family style/ great portion sizes. Food, drinks, and service is always top notch. Make sure to have a reservation in advance otherwise it's hard to get a table.
Food, ambiance. Very good service. Nice location, but takes planning ahead to get a reservation. Go an. Enjoy it
Food and drinks were incredible with service to match-highly recommend! Always busy so reservations recommended!
As always the food and service were outstanding. We were a 4 top on a surprisingly not so busy, quiet, 6pm Sunday reservation. Started with libations, salad with goat cheese, steak and pasta. Everything was delicious, hot and plentiful.
Folks.... Folks... Please go to this establishment, it is the pinnacle of east end dining. Great food, service, drinks, wonderful backyard ambiance! We got the oysters, wedge salad, chicken milanese and the swordfish. All were stunning and quality, flavor in every bite. You can't go wrong at this establishment, just make sure you make reservation plans or be flexible with seating because this certainly isn't a hidden gem. It's a front and center crown jewel of the East End of Long Island.
If one could wave a Long Island wand and create a restaurant above and beyond with Italian profile portions family style then you would have Harvest on Fort Pond First tip: If you've called for reservations (indoor seating only), line up to the left (please see the included photo) or to the right if you are awaiting outdoor seating. Second tip: arrive around 4:45-4:50 before doors open at 5p but even if you're a tad tardy, you're still likely to get a place as there are ample tables. Third tip: should you arrive with eyes bigger than your belly, keep in mind that you can divide standard restaurant orders by 2 as the portions are FAMILY STYLE (emphasis added). No biggie if you don't though as the take-home bags aren't the type of plastic garbage found at grocery stores or in whale bellies but practically a souvenir one can add to their Hamptons collection. As luck would have it, the restaurant at the Manor where we lodged was closed on a Tuesday and the first place we visited had only a few barstools occupied and no hostess to seat us. So we found the only 4-star Yelp review in the area and the long line in the parking lot indicated to us that our fortunes changed by finding Harvest. They opened punctually and cleared the lot being able to sit couples like us and families of 8 or more promptly. Our tushes hadn't even hit the seat when Laura, our outstanding friendly waitress, took our order for water and beverages. Don't be sorry, order the salad of calamari. It likely being our one and only meal while visiting Montauk, we took our server's suggestions and they were on the money. The most popular dish, the calamari salad, had fresh aromatic arugula, crispy squid cooked to perfection, and just the right amount of original dressing which hinted at peanut flavor. The skirt steak was her second recommendation and the quality of meat was superb, cooked to medium rare spot-on by a chef presumably too busy and humble to come out of the kitchen and take a well-deserved bow to acknowledge such a great skill set. Should your seating be closer to the structure where those with reservations dine, then the ambiance will be of both a gentle shore breeze beneath the gulls gliding above the array of orange umbrellas and the sound of light jazz. The farther one gets from the hostess, the more likely one is to hear a backdrop of Disney movie soundtracks playing on cellphones with plastic sippy cups crashing on the concrete. In conclusion, whether you're a couple getting away for a romantic weekend or a family on vacation, the one meal you don't want to miss on Montauk is at Harvest on Fort Pond
Experience # 2 this Summer was similar to our first commendable dinner. Interesting that they use a sweet tomato sauce. Different but still very good. We took some pictures on the pier in the back of the restaurant which was nice. Ducks and fish galore.
Truly one of my favorite restaurants. From the service to the views to the delicious food - everything is always great. The Skirt Steak and the Farfalle is always a favorite! The calamari salad is also a great choice for an appetizer. This place has amazing portions for family style and i couldn't recommend it more!
Came here with a large party for dinner. Since it's a family style concept our group of 10 was easily accommodated and ordering was easy as well. we had a corner window spot which was beautiful to capture the remainder of sunset in the background. There was a decent parking lot, but also this was still off season so I'm sure that added to the ease. Highlights- mussels, calamari salad, and the clam linguine for SURE. The one thing was we may have over ordered, and this may have been helped by more guidance from our server regarding portions. we could have done with a half portion of rigatoni instead of 2 full pasta portions.
