Westlake Fish House

If you really want to feel like you’re eating in Montauk… This is a great place to do it. The best food is really the sushi… Which is fresh off the boat. All their other food is good as well… Including salads, burgers, and delicious desserts ( we loved the lava cake and key lime pie). Johnny was our server and he was good and a lot of fun too😊

Westlake is even better than its interesting menu might let on. Every dish was a delight. I don't know what they put in the broth their mussels are steamed in, but I could have easily drank it down like water - it was EXCELLENT. The grilled shishedo peppers were a standout appetizer, and the sushi was so fresh that if you threw it back in the water it might have swam away. The linguine with clam sauce was just right, and even would have satisfied my Italian dad, and the steamers (a family favorite) were super-fresh, and - bonus points - very well cleaned. Major kudos to the kitchen staff here: there was not a single speck of sand in a HUGE serving, which is seldom the case in even the fanciest of restaurants. I wish I could remember more of what I sampled, because the four of us shared everything, and not one flavor missed the mark; each dish I tried was better than the last. The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming, and the surroundings are quite comfortable, as well as very clean and well-kept. Despite our arriving a bit close to the end of service on an end-of-season Saturday, we were treated with care and attention. Not once were we made to feel rushed or hurried. Though I'm sure the staff wanted to get home, we were treated in a friendly, relaxed, and attentive manner. My family has eaten in almost every restaurant that has opened up shop in Montauk for about 40 years now, and many greats amd not-so-greats have come and gone, but after our first meal there, Westlake is now at the top of our list. We left satisfied, happy with our experience, and determined to come back soon - and often!
