    This place is truly special. From the ambiance and thoughtful restaurant design to the layout and the chef’s kiss of a kitchen, every detail feels intentional. Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere, and enjoy the experience, especially if you’re celebrating something special. It’s the kind of place that makes the entire occasion feel memorable.

    Overall fantastic dining experience, lovely setting and delicious food, from the oysters and caviar to the steaks and salmon - our table had a royal feast. We had a fabulous outside table on the patio. Service was pretty slow and seemed like they were short staffed that evening to cover the larger early crowd that was there for the jazz that takes place in a back room. We’ll definitely be back!

    Excellent food and ambience. Prices on the high side given the portions but a lovely special night out. Jazz finale first rate is a perfect setting.

    Very overpriced . Dishes are good, but choices are extremely limited. Deserts are outright boring: just 3 different kinds of cake, nothing else. Also, the quality of dishes is not what they charge for it, we were seated on the patio. The bench seat cushions were dirty and wet. We were there shortly after opening, and it was a great restaurant. Within a few months it has deteriorated to below averaged. The philosophy seems to be: if you overcharge a lo, people will think it is the most trendy place around. I will not go there again and caution everybidy to do the dsame.

    We had a great night at Montauk. The service was very professional but personal. The food was great, we started with beef tartare and heirloom salad, both delicious. My husband had the filet for dinner and I had the Sea bass again both meals delicious and cooked perfectly. Great addition to the Redondo restaurant scene, we will be back!
