La Brisa

We had been to Shagwong many years ago and wanted to go again during our recent trip to Montauk. Shagwong is one of the few restaurants open year round in the area. There is a large bar area. The dining room is very casual and rustic. The server was friendly, attentive and had good suggestions for our meal. We enjoyed the wings, baked mac & cheese and fried calamari. The prime rib sandwich was delicious and came with dipping sauce. The fish and chips were fresh and filling with plenty of French fries.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. We had a long day hiking the trails and stopped in for lunch. The hostess/waitress had her work cut out for her. I ordered the clam chowder and husband got the cheeseburger and fries. The chowder had a creamy flavor and big chunks of potato and clam. The cheeseburger was cooked really well and had a thick patty. The cheddar cheese is a nice touch. They didn’t have French’s mustard so hubby ate it dry. Overall it hit the spot.

When you visit Montauk you’ll notice this place right away for its beautiful and historic aesthetics, but the food and the service will be what you remember most. This is how fish tastes when it’s fresh and local. Everything is a dream here. From soups to drinks to desserts, Shagwong is a jewel in the crown of Montauk.

The energy in the place was simply amazing, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The food at this restaurant is truly impressive. While I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, I did find the burger to be a tad salty. However, its delicious flavor more than made up for it, and it was still a delight to savor. Chowder was so delicious 😋. One of the standout features of this establishment is the fantastic staff. The people who work here are incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of.
