The Surf - New Shoreham

The menu features a wide variety of seafood dishes, including lobster, fish, and clams, as well as a fantastic selection of pasta and salads. The Surf is a popular choice among both locals and tourists, making it a great place for a delicious meal. I highly recommend trying the clam chowder and onion rings; you won't be disappointed. If you have dietary restrictions or prefer vegetarian options, it’s best to check with your server. The restaurant is family-friendly and easily accessible for tourists on foot, and it also offers wheelchair access around the hotel.

During my visit, there were some staffing issues, and I only had a drink. They definitely need to work on this aspect.

This restaurant is on the decline. Although the views are fantastic, the cleanliness could definitely be improved—our table wasn't even wiped down. There’s no waitstaff, which means you have to queue at the bar just to get a drink and place your order. With only one person handling orders for the whole place, the wait can be ridiculous, especially when there are ten people ahead of you. It's frustrating that they charge prices similar to other restaurants that truly care about their atmosphere and customer experience.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The corn black bean salsa was pleasantly refreshing, and both the poke bowls and fish tacos were absolutely delicious! My husband loved his drinks, and we both enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor and overall vibe were wonderful. If you're willing to order food and drinks at the bar, you'll have a great time here. Just remember that staffing shortages are common these days, so let's be understanding; the service was excellent!

The dining experience felt quite impersonal. We were seated at our table and only provided with two menus for our group of six. If we wanted drinks, we had to go to the bar to order them ourselves, and the same went for our food orders. We were also expected to serve ourselves water. Basic items such as utensils, salt, pepper, napkins, and other essentials were entirely our responsibility to gather. Everything—cutlery, cups, condiments, and bowls—was disposable and made of plastic or paper, which not only increases costs but also harms the environment. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were disappointing; the portions were small, dry, and lacking in flavor. There was no follow-up from the staff regarding the quality of the food or if we needed anything, leading to a complete lack of service (and no tip!). The only highlight of the experience was the view.
