Reviews for Tauk at Trail's End in Montauk, NY
Unfortunately, our food was disappointing. The fish in the Mahi Mahi tacos were not grilled but seemed "poached" leaving them... rather flavorless. The shrimp with risotto cake was bathed in TOO much sauce and the risotto cake was basically a flat riceball. The calamari appetizer was fine as well as the wait service. Food was served quickly and hot. But here's the biggestconcern... They DO NOT have their menu posted on THEIR website! SERIOUSLY??? WHY would any restaurant do something so absurd? Wehad to go to other web pages simply to find THEIR menu and those were no longer the active menu. Subsequently, the two dishes wethought we'd try were no longer available... AGAIN, WHY would ANY restaurant NOT have their menu on their OWN website... thatspeaks volumes! Read more
We enjoyed the food, my burger was delicious. The owner (I?m assuming the owner) was very kind and went above and beyond for us.... The 3 stars is because of the bartender. Normally I don?t like complaining because I work in the restaurant Industry andunderstand it can be rough, but all she did was complain and curse in front of us about her coworkers. We?d also ask for a drinkand she wouldn?t even acknowledge us and would just hand us the drinks. We never knew if she even heard us or if we had torepeat ourselves. It kinda killed the mood for the evening and made us uncomfortable. Read more
The appetizer we ordered was embarrassing. We sent it back and they still charged us for it. As we left we were given an... attitude and the food runner spit right in front of us. So many phenomenal places in Montauk to go eat, please go elsewhere, weknow we will. Read more
Generous portions, friendly service. EXCELLENT Chowder! Loved the steamed clams, although slightly less chopped garlic would be... grand. Great soundtrack. When in Montauk, worth at least one visit during sundown. Read more
Very cozy place with excellent staff. The food is tasty and looks appealing. Overall the experience was very nice.
Food was phenomenal. Mussels Fra Diavolo were just spicy enough and super tender. Creme Brule was arguably the best we ever... had. Madison was an,awesome server. Pleasant, knowledgeable, attentive, and had a good sense of humor. We will be back! Iforgot to mention in my original review, the safety steps Tauk is taking in this pandemic. Seating is spaced out significantly;you can see they are at less than 50% capacity. Temperatures were taken on arrival and logged in with names and phone number.And of course, masks are mandatory. They are following the proper steps that many other establishments waver on. My wife and Iwere pleased with this sage environment. Tauk is a win! Read more
Great place to stop for a quick bite! Given today?s ?new normal? aka pandemic life....this restaurant is doing everything to... ensure all customers and staff are safe. One of the only places in the area that had temperature checks....definitely a plus andmade me feel just a little more safe. I appreciate the use of plastic silverware, social distancing tables all staff were maskedand there was one way in and out for the restrooms. Loved the outside seating area made me feel like I was in Miami for asecond. Prices were a little high but that?s to be expected given the area, menu items and current times. I had no issue paying$32 for my buttered lobster roll it was very tasty and I?m supporting local business. That?s a win win in my book! Plus I seenthey have live music at night but it was more crowded then on the patio so keep that in mind. Overall definitely stop at thisplace when in the area you won?t be disappointed! Read more
My husband and I stopped in for a Saturday night dinner. The vibe was comfortable and the place had a good crowd at tables, so... we were hopeful and sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the bartender was surly throughout our meal, and the food was disappointing.The photos of the food look very good online, but what you get pales in comparison. My husband?s fish tacos were mediocre, andmy crab-stuffed flounder was covered in a red sauce that tasted like tomato paste from a can mixed with water. I don?t know howthey have the nerve to charge $40 for that dish. We were both expecting so much more based on the reviews. The seafood tastedfresh enough and the bartender was finally nice when we were leaving, but I?d recommend you save your money and go elsewhere fora meal as neither made up for the rest of the experience.
