Greetings Yelpies and Yelpermen of New York City, this Memorial Day weekend was one for the books and all I can say is if you didn't go to the Hamptons, where did you even go? Actually don't answer that question - because if it's not Montauk it's NOWHERE. Jk lol but rolling up to the famous Sel Rrosé on Friday upon arrival was a must for Hamptons locals .
Okay, the ambiance was very cute don't get me wrong, but honestly none of the decor or the set up of the restaurant made sense. You walk in and there is the bar that takes up the entire back room, which leads into the back deck. That part is cute, but the wall art consisted of ripped cloth that was supposed to look beachy and eccentric?? I was confused. And especially drunk me was mega confused lol.
Next, they had a DJ which was placed in the back of the restaurant, or in this case the back was the front since the bar in the back was the focal point. He played some mid music, thats all I have to say lol. The side room where me and my friends had dinner looked like we walked into a white circus I kid you not. White drapes surrounding us. The room with the DJ had seating that looked like my grandmother's table cloth coupled with "Jackson Pollock" looking wall art.
I am one for a good deal and all I can say is the only thing that I enjoyed here and also did not mind paying for were - the oysters.
Everything else was extremely overpriced (the espresso martini was like $38 ). The food was okay and THE HOUSE FRIES NEED HELP - mine were burnt. Also my friend got the Sel Rrosé Spritz and it tasted like actual barf.
ANYWAY - If you're headed to Montauk, pretty much everywhere is going to be like this place. Restaurant by day turned club at night. Overpriced and subpar. The one great thing I will say about this place was the bathroom was very cool and an experience in it of itself. Think Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets lol and that was the bathroom.
xoxo,
