Reviews for Matthew's Seafood House in Ocean Beach, NY
Just went to Matthews for dinner last night for the first time. No wait for an outdoor table (Thursday) at 6:30 pm on a... beautiful August evening. Service was exceptional and friendly. Olivia, our server was as much a pleasure as she was efficient.We got clams on the half shell, baked clams Matthew, wedge salad, mahi mahi, and the Mediterranean Halibut. All were fantastic!The setting, on the bay is a treat. Many reviews I read included negative comments on the prices. Not that much more expensivethan other restaurants we have eaten at on the mainland, so not sure what others are complaining about. The worse thing I haveto say is that the tables for 2 are quite tiny. Won?t deter us from returning, though! Read more
Matthew's is our favorite restaurant on FI. The drinks are always on point. Food is always fresh. And it has best view in our... opinion. Very friendly staff. Read more
Always delicious and both lively and laid back simultaneously. Have been dining here for over 30 years and has been consistently... wonderful. Friendly and great bar scene from hh until closing. Sunday Bay Bash always fantastic. Read more
I stopped here for lunch simply because it was the first stop on my trek west from Sailor's Haven. I expected a slightly... overpriced meal (and of course it was) but I still thoroughly enjoyed the view of the bay while I ate a modest lunch of fish andchips. The fish was fresh and the 'chips' were nice. The portion was just right for lunch but at dinner prices -- it's OceanBeach -- they need to make their money in the summer! View... 4.5 stars Staff... 4.5 stars Price... 3.5 stars Food... 4stars Not a bad experience for a Tuesday afternoon in mid July. Read more
Exceptionally mediocre, which is particularly upsetting considering the price tag. The food is okay... not bad, just nothing... memorable. The drinks are just awful. The bartender has no concept of his role at the restaurant, even something as simple asadding lime and some triple sec/agave/contreau/something besides ice and tequila to a margarita. If it wasn't for the wonderfulserver who did everything she could to make our experience any less painful, would have given 1 star, and that's generous. Read more
Absolutely the best lunch I've had on Fire Island! The spicy margarita was perfectly balanced - spice, sour, sweet and salt. ... And, the mussels were sublime with the light but flavorful broth finishing with a hint of licorice provided by carawayseed. And the staff was professional, friendly and properly attentive! Read more
Absolutely beautiful view and great food. All cocktails were great. Nice atmosphere! Very good service ????????. Thank you for... staying in business Read more
Had a server drop off the incorrect item to the incorrect guest. That guest started eating the food not knowing it wasn't... theirs. We requested if we could get another order, as to which the server said "we'll you guys ate it so you need to pay foranother" It wasn't even a large meal. It was an appetizer. This will be the first sub 4 star review I give in over 5 years.Excellent job Matthew's, you hired a gem in that server. Read more
