Sometimes I think there is no middle ground in Old Town between hole-in-the-wall-dive and rave-til-you-puke. Happily, I think The Montauk has achieved this balanced nirvana! Bungalow was fun and fine for game day, but The Montauk is such an upgrade!
I've been here twice now--once for just drinks out on their back patio, and once for dinner on the front patio this past weekend. Our evening here was the perfect kickoff for my bachelorette party weekend!
It's the perfect mix of casual, breezy and fun. (The beach-house aesthetic is on point.) After waiting a few minutes for an outdoor table and grabbing some drinks, we perused the menu. I went with the chicken kabobs, which come with a kale salad and fries. The best of both worlds!! Last year I started eating meat after almost 11 years of vegetarianism, and seafood is one of the foods I still generally side-eye. I tried a bite of my friend's fish taco and it was DELICIOUS! I can see why people rave.
Our server was friendly and cute and after dinner my friends and I had an impromptu dance party in the bathroom. Success!
