Montauk New York
This is my favorite seafood restaurant, though I have only been there twice. I love the quiet location away from tourists and crowds with a view of a small harbor. The sunset was stunning the night we went. The meal began with crispy warm rolls and the menu offered so many delightful options I will have to return. The rocket salad was fresh, generous and perfectly dressed. The mussels my husband ordered were in a delicious broth with Thai flavoring. This is the sort of broth I will try myself to recreate. My entree was Pan Seared Tile fish served with fennel, lentils and red potatoes-absolutely a dream of ingredients for an Irish girl like me. The fish skin was perfectly seared. My husband had the Herb Crusted Cod with Shrimp Risotto and grilled vegetables with roasted fresh corn.
The menu impressed me even more by the wonderful options for wine by the glass with two from France and one from Sam Gimignano. The waitress indulged me as I tried each and the French Chablis won out and was a great treat, perfectly suited to the tile fish.
A wonderful end to a day by the bluffs near the lighhouse, photographing fishermen and breathing in the great salt air. Two visits is just the beginning to one of the best features of "The End."
