"Notorious for its party scene—and $150 three-tier chicken tender and fry towers—the seasonally open Surf Lodge is a hybrid beach club, high-end motel, and indoor-outdoor restaurant on a scenic pond with top-tier sunset views. When you’re looking to fuel up after a happy hour DJ set, or just eat simple-but-good, beachy dishes adjacent to the bottle service tables near the stage, Surf Lodge is your spot. Go for local seafood, like a Montauk tuna tartare, and satisfying pastas with infused butters, fresh produce, and—again—seafood." - melissa kravitz hoeffner, team infatuation
