Gosman's Restaurant

Wish I could give a half star. Horrible customer service. The only good aspect of this restaurant is the atmosphere. 1. The fried calamari and muscles were great apps but size was VERY small for the price. 2. Meals (shrimp scampi, stuffed shrimp and salmon) were flavorless. Each entree lacked flavor—rice tasted like Minute rice, and veggies were bland. The fish lacked flavor which was extremely disappointing considering it’s a seafood restaurant. Asked for something to improve flavor but this did not help. When asking to speak to the manager, he simply told me “there was nothing he could do” since half of the meal was consumed (we were hungry so had no choice). Said if we come back, he would accommodate us—which I told him we would not be because traveled 2.5 hours. I asked if anything could be done, such as comp a dessert or something and he said again nothing he could do. For a party of 12, this was extremely disappointing and not handled well by management, named Chris. Do NOT recommend this establish at all, save your money and go elsewhere.

We thought this was a wonderful lunchtime dining experience. Beautiful views from the deck watching the boats putter in and out of the harbor. We each had excellent entrees; I especially enjoyed the lobster roll. Fairly reasonable prices for quality island eats. Service a tad slow but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Warm sun, cool breeze, and a cold beer. Couldn't be better! We'll definitely be back when we're in the area.

Stopped with my friends for a lunch during our motorcycle roadtrip to Montauk. Food is great - freshest seafood, grear oysters from raw bar, good size premium shripm, and tasty desert! The only thing that the waiter mixed up some of our orders and got us wrong beers, but later brought the ones we requested and had the wrong beer order - on the house. ) Maybe it was Saturday afternoon and more people showed up, but we had to wait slightly longer for our desert. Great seating on the open air with an ocean view! Will come back on the next visit to Montauk!Recommending!

Such a nice cozy restaurant with great dishes and nice service! I loved their outdoor seating, they had good shaded area for seating. I chose the fish (can't remember which one it was) and it was really delicious. For someone who might not like lobster that much, this restaurant's menu is mainly consist of lobster dishes. Know that before going there. Overall it was such a nice experience dining in this restaurant.

This is my favorite restaurant in Montauk. The food and service are always great. This time I had the lobster roll. It was so yummy.

Me and my wife showed up without a reservation. The restaurant was pretty empty and we requested a table by the water inside. We went to the bar and waited an hour before I approached the hostess and asked about our seating. She took me into the dining room and explained that there were no 2 seating tables available. At that time, I observed multiple four and five seating tables empty. I inquired why we couldn't sit at those tables and she said NO because we are a party of 2. We were so outraged of the lack of flexibility in seating people in a restaurant that was practically empty. I would not recommend Gosmans restaurant to anybody. There are plenty of small non-commercial restaurants around that have better service and better food.

I rate restaurants both on their customer service and food. Upon arrival I explained it was our anniversary and we were not in a hurry. I stated we wanted to have a very good view and would wait. I also stated we wanted to sit on the deck. The host said he understood. He also said we could order drinks at the bar. We went to the bar to get drinks. I explained my allergies. The bartender couldn’t have been less interested. The drinks available were very limited. She assured me what I ordered was fine. So when we were called to be seated, we were placed at a table for two and an obstructed view. This is because there was a table in front of us. Not five minutes later another couple was seated at a table right next to the water, which is what I asked for and stated I was willing to wait. My picture of the table for two is where two people were sitting. I took the photo after they left. As I was on about my 3/5 sip of my drink my tongue and throat started tingling. I explained to the waitress what happened. She took it away and brought the drink menu. However, I was charged for both drinks. The food was good. I really liked the tuna. My husband was not as impressed by his choice, the surf and turf. For the price of this restaurant, I except someone to listen to me when I speak to them, to check in on how I am doing before I have finished my meal, and not to charge for a replacement drink. People seem to love this restaurant. Maybe I just expect more in this price range.

This restaurant holds a monopoly stake in the dining scene of Montauk. Pretty much anyone who has ever visited the town has dined here, and for good reason. The views are spectacular. You are dining right on the water. The menu features an abundant selection of lobster. The waiting area is a wooden pier with lots of seating, with tables to drink at while you wait. So why the one star off? It’s because you’re truly paying for the experience. The wait is usually at least 20 min. The prices are expensive for the portion size - if you don’t order dessert, you won’t be full. The service, although friendly, is overwhelmed. Is it worth going? Yes, at least once. But if you’re a local, this probably wouldn’t be a place you come to regularly except for special occasions.

Came here for lunch after googling great places to eat in Montouk and I'm so happy I did. The whole atmosphere here was amazing and I enjoyed the view of the water while having lunch. The table set up with the beautiful view of the inlet was beautiful. I loved being able to have lunch with my wife, while enjoying the view of the inlet. Very beautiful and great place to have lunch or dinner. Me and my wife came here for some apps and drinks and everything was great. For apps we started off with some calamari which was amazing. Our second app we got was a crab cake that was also amazing and one of the best crab cakes I've had in a long time. For drinks we had a watermelontini and a sunset punch and both were great and packing a punch. Drinks were so refreshing ing and very good. We also order shrimp and fries which were great. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to do something nice for dinner or lunch. The water views while eating is spectacular and the outside seating is beautiful as well. I also love that it's off the main ave when you're staying in Montouk so it's less congested but still not far from where we were staying in Montauk. I definitely will be coming back here on my next stay. Great food, great service, and great vibes here.

Save your money. Service was barely ok.unfriendly, and sullen but water glasses were refilled. Kids wanted a burger- they stop serving burgers at 4pm NO kids menu was offered.. nice music was played but way too loud. Expensive for what you got and not a pleasant experience.

I hate to leave bad reviews but I've been coming here for years and something definitely changed. The portion sizes were so insanely small compared to what they used to be. The chips for the crab dip were stale. The mussels were the smallest portion I've ever seen-I think there was maybe a total of 18-20 mussels in that dish with barely any broth. The wedge salad was also pretty sad with three pieces of iceberg lettuce and barely anything on it. We spoke to one of the managers and she mentioned how the management changed so there ya go they're just skimping out on portion sizes for those prices is absurd. Also service was incredibly slow for lunch at noon with 8 people in the restaurant.

I don't know what happened to this restaurant. We were looking forward to going here again since it reopened, and we've always had a great experience here in the past. This last visit was so disappointing, and it is really unfortunate since the atmosphere is beautiful. When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly hostess, and a very friendly an waitress. It is because of them that this review isn't one star. We started off with baked clams that were good, not great as in the past, so we were looking forward to seeing what our lunch was going to be like. I ordered the special, which was the halibut. I am not sure what spices they put on this fish, but none of them would be what I would ever use on a mild tasting fish to begin with. I have made halibut, and have eaten it out many times, and it really only needs some butter, white wine, maybe a little garlic, and lemon. My mom ordered the shrimp dish, and the shrimp was so tough she couldn't cut it with a knife. Definitely overcooked. Maybe this was just an off day, but we were really surprised at the difference in the quality of their food. When we go back we will try the restaurants on the board walk. They looked really busy and we've always had great meals there too in the past. The one thing Gossman's has going for it is, the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. Maybe next time just get some cocktails and hang out and dine someplace else. And one other thing; I know the shops are supposed to be overpriced and stuffy, but the woman in the shop with the summer dresses and apparel was absolutely rude from the moment we walked in. I guess she doesn't care about selling anything, or maybe she thought we couldn't afford anything there so she just didn't bother with us. But what she needs to remember is, it doesn't matter how you dress or what you look like. You should never judge people by the way the look when they walk into your shop. And by the way, I already own the white dress you have hanging up in the front of the store, and yes, I also paid exactly what you are charging for it, and it was sold to me by a wonderful saleswoman in Port Jefferson.

It was a nice place for sure. Nice place by the water with good views. We unfortunately didn't get a table outside due to it being busy on a Sunday evening but we managed to get a table by the window inside which was nice as well. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty but the price was definitely very high. Especially the kids chicken tender. Portion was way too small for $17 dollars. And also two small cups of apple juice for the kids were $9 bucks? The fish and Chips were quiet good and we picked mashed potatoes instead of fries and it was delicious Anyhow just prepare to spend some when coming here

Marcus O and the crew went to Gosman's annually for many years in a row up until maybe 2022. While never great Gosman's was ok and sometimes OK is good enough. My last two experiences were not acceptable (poor value, mediocre food product, slow service....) and they are permanently off my to do dining list. Perhaps they are stuck in the past? Too big for seasonal workers? Not really sure but I have moved on. With so many better options in Montauk the weaker options fade away. It's too bad because they probably have one of the best locations. Maybe the Navy Beach crew should come in and do a product and decor overhaul? That would be my suggestion.

Ate on the top deck of this really good seafood restaurant. Great view. Great server, thanks Julie (see photo). Great food -- clams, oysters, lobsters (2 1/2 lbs). Just a fun time eating fresh seafood, watching the boats go by before sunset. Three cheers to this restaurant!

You're paying for the view here. It's fine and nice and I would return but prices are high.

It's very nice view in Montauk. I love this view we can sit near the beach and order seafood . So yummy I recommend salmon is delicious.

Cute restaurant right on the water! We weren't hungry for dinner until after 8pm, but this was one of the only restaurants opened late that took us in without any reservation. We ordered the raw oysters as an appetizer and then the twin lobsters as our entrees. The oysters were just ok, but the lobster was absolutely incredible. It was probably one of the best lobsters I've ever had, and my boyfriend loved it too. The service was also very fast, so we didn't have to wait long for our food.

The Gosman's dinning view is one of the breathtaking places you should ever pay a visit at Montauk, New York. I highly recommend eating during sunset, it is the best place to be when you are with your friends, family, and lover. I personally love the food, most especially the presentation of the Japanese cuisine such as mainly the sashimi and sushi. Without a doubt your meal will never be forgotten and the dinning experience will be worthwhile as you watch the astonishing sunset and romantic scene. My father's patient is the owner of the place, he has been a great men and business leader since he ran this restaurant. Plus a lovely and respectable patient of my dear father as well.

A group of us went to have a late lunch and watch the blessing of the fleet from Gosman's Topside. Great day and food was very good I highly recommend it. We then walked into Gosmans Restaurant next door. I went in and ordered some drinks for friends after placing my order and paying the bartender her name may "possibly be Karen" she read my shirt out loud to herself and said "we don't talk politics here" she read it out loud to herself again and made the same statement. I replied "I'm not talking politics, you read my shirt out loud to yourself twice ". YES IT WAS A PRO TRUMP T-SHIRT. I'll take my business to Inlet Restaurant, Sail In, or the Gig shack.

Good food on the water. What could be better The ambiance is summer. You have a view of all the boats coming in and out of the channel. It is a nice place to sit outside or on the dock with a nice cold beer and a cool summer breeze. Their lobster rolls are pretty good. It's a good spot to relax and have a long lunch

Amazing food steamers we're delicious. I enjoyed watching the fish boats go by and the company as well. The service was perfect and i'm coming back real soon- the best!

My parents would take us here every summer in the 70's and I've gone many times in the past few decades. The food is tasty and reasonable and the views of the boats coming into the channel are fantastic.

This has been a favorite restaurant for years , we always look forward to fresh delicious seafood . Although my lobster steamed lobster was delicious , my husbands lobster tails could not be removed from the shell , portions were exceptionally small , chowder very small portion, fried shrimp dinner barely enough to satisfy - and no baked potato option anymore - wtf ! Food we had was tasty but restaurant was half full which makes you wonder if they will be open next summer . Disappointing visit , definitely changed .

The tuna steak used to be so much better with the other chef they had. I'm talking about the tuna steak with edamame. The tuna steak on the menu now is just OK I'll only return because sitting out by the water is so lovely

I used to feel that Gosman's had the best lobster roll on Long Island. I went back this week, after not going for like 3 years and sadly it's not the same. They use a different bread from last time I was there. The bread they use currently is way too thick and dry. The lobster itself is kinda bland. They don't do anything exciting to it. They used to serve it with this outrageous homemade potato salad and cole slaw and now it's just served with fries and a container type cole slaw. I couldn't even eat the cole slaw. It was bad. The only positives were that it was a lot of lobster and it was fresh. And we ordered a calamari appetizer and it was really really good.

Really only worth it for the view. You're probably not going back for the food - it's average. The service was good. Our waitress was nice, very polite. We ordered mussels and calamari to start. I don't think the calamari was fresh. Every piece was the same and no tentacles; I've never gotten calamari like this. Mussels were decent. I ordered the stuffed shrimp as my entree. It seemed overcooked. The shrimp were kind of dry and tough to chew. No one in my party walked away talking about how great the meal was.

Went here for dinner and it was ok. We ordered two cocktails that were ok nothing special. For appetizer we had the crab cake which was delicious (it was the best part of the meal). For the main we ordered the lobster roll and the stuffed shrimp special both were alright not much flavor. The service was also ok. Our waitress did not seem like she was in the mood to deal with us. We were rushed when ordering and rushed with the food. We were here for maybe 45 minutes. The ambiance was nice- the view is beautiful however, the service and food took away from the overall experience. We most likely will not be retiring.

Portions are very small and expensive. Been coming here for at least 30 years. Very disappointing. The view of the harbor is still the best. Please revisit your business plan. It would be a shame to see your restaurant fail.

Service was fine we were seated right away. Ordered some apps, baked clams and calamari. It came out wayyyyy too fast so I knew something was wrong. Clams were cold, not fresh at all. The walk up window outside has better! The entrees were very small and very over priced. My rice was cold but thank god the meat was cooked. I still to just doing the walk up window next door from now on. It's not worth the money! It is very pretty though.

My family and I went here for my birthday on August 2nd. Saying that I was disappointed is an understatement. I was absolutely disgusted by the food. The crab cakes were mushy, the lobster bisque had no lobster chunks and the crab dip also had no chunks and was just warm schmear. Then came the entree... I had the swordfish and it was inedible. Low quality, no flavor and was cold (after a LONG wait.) My family's meals were cold as well. It actually tasted so bad that I couldn't eat it and the bites that I did have made me feel sick. Not to mention, the plate was $38. I hope they take this feedback and make some serious changes, but in the meantime, please save yourself from the disappointment. :(

Used to come here all the time with family growing up. Sadly, the food is now unbearable. Lobster bisque had zero lobster chunks and was served lukewarm. Diet Coke served in a Dixie cup size glass. For entrees we got the stuffed shrimp and shrimp scampi, booth looked like they came out of the microwave. Save yourself the expensive stomach ache and go to the Harvest.

Every year we visit Montauk at least twice during the summer and we always go to Gosmans. It's tradition. They have really good food they have specials. They are very helpful and the scenery is beautiful.

I would leave zero stars if they would let me. First off, they said no reservations, and then let a group that arrived 15 min after us sit before us. When I asked the host about it, she denied it. We had to wait an extremely long time for all of our food. (3 lobsters + an entree) The water tasted like it had been run through an old mop. Our server disappeared and never came back. We had to ask someone else for some help after about 20 minutes with no drinks. We also had to order our desserts through a different server because our server was nowhere to be found again. The bill was about $360 and we left them a $40 tip - again, the server was nowhere to be found. As we are walking through the parking lot, the server suddenly appeared chasing us down through the parking lot, saying that we owed her money. When I asked what she meant, she was upset that we had only left her a $40 tip. She would not leave us alone until we gave her another $20. I followed up with 2 emails to the restaurant with no reply.

Gosman's offers classic seafood dishes in a beautiful setting overlooking the ocean and marina. You get to enjoy your meal while watching the wild life, and amazing boats and yachts drive by. My mother and I started with the wedge salad and the blue crab dip. The bacon in the salad was good and covered in maple. The blue crab dip was *cheesy* with a side of cheese. The crab was in large chunks and not prominent throughout the entire dish. This was my first time having blue crab but I found it incredibly mild. My mother had the stuffed clams and I had the steamed lobster. The clams were thoroughly stuffed, but the taste was overwhelmed by WAYYYY too much bacon. The lobster was very yummy but the tail was a little tough. It happens. The coleslaw was completely dry and disappointing. Our server was very attentive and came back several times to check on us, which seems rare in Montauk. The margaritas were also very good so we highly recommend that. Moral of the story is don't believe every review you read. Sometimes you have to find out for yourself!

Overall the food was good , service was adequate at best; there were 4 of us and we had to ask for settings twice before getting them. Do not get the iced team. It tastes as if it was made using water out of a mud puddle, but it actually tasted more like it was sweat rung out of an old man's underwear. It was absolutely rancid. I had two other people at my table take a sip because I couldn't believe it was so bad. I sent it back and told them to check the batch bc I'd never had a glass of tea that tased so bad. The waitress came back and said that's how it's supposed to taste, so I ordered a soft drink. For what it's worth, the tap water is normal, so it's definitely the tea. How can you mess up iced tea? I've eaten at 2 other places in town today and was served perfectly normal iced tea. Although the tea tastes worse than a bag of smashed assholes, I will say that all of the entrees were very good and had big portions. JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE ICED TEA FOR GOD's SAKA!

Our large party of 24 came in for lunch on a rainy Monday afternoon. We had a bunch of their clams (, soups, drinks, and food for the kids ranging from lobster rolls to burgers. All the food was very good, and they accommodated the group pretty well. The space is nice, big, comfortable, nice views.

Scenery and ambiance at Gosman's was extraordinary. Service was very good also. Food was a let down as it was fresh but uninspired. seemed boilerplate. One menu item listed "wild rice" but received regular rice.

Funny enough we didn't set out to go here, but they didn't have any wait like the first place we tried - so that was awesome. Took us right away, table inside (supposed to rain) by the large open window. Lovely view. The people are lovely: hostess, waitress, and busboy. Even though the kitchen was closing soon, we weren't rushed. We shared the kale and romaine Cesar salad. It was HUGE. I'm not a kale fan (I know, there I said it out loud), but I liked the kale in this salad. Our party had mussels and fish & chips. Mussels: again the portion is substantial. They were cooked well. The white wine sauce had a bit more oregano than I would have liked, but that's me. And the bread for dipping in the sauce was some sort of hard toast (very hard). Honestly that was the one downer of the night. I was hoping for garlic bread - soft to put in the sauce and soak it up. My reco to Gosman's is to change the bread to the garlic bread you have at Topside. The bread at topside is awesome! Fish & Chips were also substantial portion - the fish was fresh, light. Tip: if you are a fine wine enthusiast, the wine menu will disappoint you. Have a house specialty drink. Here is my overall thought: I gave Gosman's 4 stars bc I could get a lovely table right away with great service and the food was good (not great). Come, give it a try.

Potentially the most romantic spot for dinner ever...here's why! When you find yourself in Montauk for the weekend, you need to wander over to Gosman's dock. You can pop into the shops, watch the boats go in and out of block island sound and find a fantastic meal. We sat outside on a beautiful summer night at sunset. The host was very friendly and found us a table with a great view. Our waitress was polite and service was quick. The oysters were so fresh and sweet. We both loved our dinners, especially the stuffed shrimp. The stuffing was so good, definitely homemade style. But our favorite thing was the Brownie Sundae. We raved about it for the rest of the trip. The sunset is the perfect time to enjoy dinner on their deck with tour hunny. Loved it and will be back!!

I have to admit I am taking a few days before writing this review because I was so annoyed by my experience. Let's start with the positive... the view is great. The service was friendly but for some reason there is a stupid rule that you cannot get a side of mashed potatoes. Yes, that is correct you cannot get mashed potatoes unless you order a steak or the surf and turf. So when my 11 year old and 1 year old planned on spitting mashed potatoes I had to order a $45 steak that tasted like it had been frozen prior to cooking. I would have walked out if it was not 8pm. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant unless you want a good view. Maybe their seafood is better but I will never know as I was stuck eating a terrible steak instead of being able to eat what I would have liked.

Once upon a time in the picturesque coastal town of Montauk, there was an old sea captain named Charlie. With a face weathered by countless voyages and eyes that held the secrets of the open sea, Charlie was a legend in the community. He had sailed the world's oceans, weathering storms and basking in the sun's golden rays, but eventually, he decided to make Montauk his permanent home. After hanging up his captain's hat, Charlie sought a new adventure on land. Fate led him to Gosman's, the beloved restaurant by the sea. With his charismatic charm and sea-tales that captivated all who listened, he quickly became a bartender at the renowned establishment. As the years passed, Charlie's wisdom and kindness endeared him to the locals and visitors alike. He poured drinks with a steady hand and offered a listening ear to those who sought solace or companionship. With each passing season, more and more patrons came to share a drink with the amiable sea captain, drawn to his tales of high seas and distant shores. Unbeknownst to many, Charlie had a secret--over the course of his adventurous life, he had fallen in love with various women during his travels, leaving behind a trail of romance in different ports. As fate would have it, he had fathered as many as 87 children scattered across the globe. With time, some of his children, now grown, found their way to Montauk, curious to meet the legendary sea captain who had played a role in their existence. Charlie welcomed them with open arms, sharing stories of their heritage, adventures he had embarked upon, and the wisdom he had acquired. The bond between Charlie and his children grew stronger with every passing year, and they became a unique family united by the spirit of adventure and love for the sea. Whenever he wasn't tending the bar, Charlie would regale them with stories of his seafaring days, and they, in turn, shared their own experiences from the diverse corners of the world. As the sun dipped below the horizon and cast hues of pink and gold across the ocean, the children would gather around their sea captain father, creating a timeless tableau of love, laughter, and the magic of the sea. Charlie's legacy extended beyond the shores of Montauk, not just through his seafaring tales but also through the countless lives he had touched as a bartender at Gosman's. He remained an icon of the town, remembered not only for his maritime adventures but also for the bond he shared with his extended family--his 87 children--who embraced each other as a testament to the unpredictable, beautiful journey of life. And so, the legend of Captain Charlie, the bartender with a seafarer's heart, lives on, entwined with the history of Montauk and the warm spirit of Gosman's by the sea.

What a great place! We came here for lunch with the kids and dog, sat on the outdoor patio and had both a great lunch, and a great view! Kids had the chicken tenders which were fresh and delightful, I had a lobster roll and was not disappointed. The drinks available were another greet with an out of this world rum-punch. Great place will be back next time!

I have been coming to gosmans for many many years and it is my go to restaurant for delicious seafood. Believe me it's not the restaurant that it used to be. Mind you the staff was nice but the food was not good. We were a group of five. Four of us had lobster tails and one had calamari. All terrible. Tasted and look old. Not at all what I've had previously. As I said, this was one of my favorite places, and I was so excited that it was open for the season. I have taken many people here and I've enjoyed so many wonderful dinners and special occasions here, but not tonight and I will not be returning. It's the end of an era, I just think that somebody new is in the kitchen or bought Gosman's because it's not the one I knew. I'm very sad and disappointed .

Probably the best wedge salad in the world. Thankful they brought it back. Also the chicken Milanese and fries were excellent. Wife says great lobster.

What's not to love about being treated like a second grader while ordering a $700 meal? I had better service at the DMV. Little necks served with frozen cocktail sauce, lobster rolls with stale bread, and appetizers sized for a child's play date. Montauk dining living up to the subpar reputation I was warned of.

Food was amazing the service was great and the environment was good. The staff was friendly and we had a very nice meal

Allll the lobster. Staff is lovely and you can always count on the seafood being fresh. The location is perfect if you're coming in off a boat as they have a dock right along side so you can grab a quick bite which changes the game.

The ratings don't do it justice. Amazing food here. This is an absolute staple for us. We always go with the clam chowder, lobster roll, fish and chips. Everything is so good here

Don't order the lobster tails! Cook too much. Very tough. They also put some spices on it. Had to fight to get the lobster out. My husband's swordfish was so thin! Not worth the money they charge.

We had dinner in the restaurant. The outdoor restaurant doesn't open until Saturday. We were a day short. The tables were well spaced. The views are beautiful. All staff wear masks. The greeters at the door were very warm and welcoming. We each had the salmon. It was cooked and seasoned well. You can change the sides but you have to take all the sides from a different dish in total. The wine was great, the food was delicious. The service was very good. Glad we went off season for a relaxing evening. All covid protocol was followed. We felt safe eating here.

Very very bad experience, for one they overcooked one of my buddies steak by a large margin and they charge wayyy to much for what the food is. The server we had was awful, she didn't even ask how she wanted the steak cooked and had no passion behind what she does. The ambiance is also very dry and has not vibe whatsoever. While my food was ok nothing is worth the awful experience I had here and I will never be coming back.

My friends & I decided to wait at the bar for our table instead of just standing around, but the bartender at Gosman's so loudly and rudely insisted our ID's were fake--all of us being well over 21, we were stunned to say the least. She insisted because our IDs say "not for real ID purposes" that meant they were fake, which I would hope everyone knows by now, YEARS after it's implement, that the "Real ID" notice is for travel purposes, and has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of the drivers license in question . She did not politely ask for second forms of ID, or simply say she was uncomfortable serving us, no--she was wildly rude and unprofessional, in a way I've never witnessed in my life. When we returned to the hostess stand to inform the staff of what happened, the bartender proceeded to storm out to us and continue making a scene in order to get her 2 cents into the conversation. What we should have done was insisted they call police to verify our licenses, but after such incredibly disgusting behavior, we didn't even want to continue waiting for our table & decided to have dinner elsewhere. So sad to think we won't be returning to Gosman's after visiting every summer for years. I hope this establishment makes it a point to educate their bartending staff on what real identification looks like, and especially on how to communicate in a professional manner while at work.

Off the beaten path, so be prepared to trek to it, but you won't be disappointed. We were seated inside, which was ok bc it was super sunny, for our group of six. We had a very attentive waitress and our food was super yummy. There's a beautiful little beach nearby, so make sure you give yourself enough time to do a little exploring before or after your meal.

Came for dinner, started with the crab dip that was just cheese not a hint of crab to be found. Then ordered the lobster bisque and there was a beard hair in it. So did not want to eat anything else nor did we want to make a big deal but we still paid 40 bucks and I though they have a manager apologize or comp a beer so I know they are closing for the season soon but gross is gross! No matter what time of year!

While in Montauk last time, came here with friends for late afternoon lunch/early dinner. Spacious and we were able to get a table by the window for a nice view to watch. Service and staff were good. Complimentary bread to start while you wait on appetizers and entrees. Appetizers: Tuna tartare served in a cone - nice presentation and looks like ice cream. It was really good. Mussels and stuffed baked clams were also good but small portion. Entrees: Butterfly stuffed shrimp with veggies - enjoyed it Swordfish, fisherman's platter, ribs with fries, blackened yellowfin tuna. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will have to save room next time for dessert. Great view watching boats go by...

The ambiance and service were excellent! Liked watching to boats come. The food could have been better. My lobster dinner was cold and not fresh but the desserts were great.
