Reviews for Duryea's Orient Point in Orient, NY
Beautiful view, that's what you are paying for. Our server was very nice and made some recommendations. You place your order at... a window booth, not at your table and provide payment with tip prior to service. They have no change, so bring smallerdenominations for the jar. The humus platter with olives was tasty but I found the Spanish Octopus too salty and unfortunately Ihad to follow this dish with two antacids so overall not a positive experience. Read more
It's expensive and the quality or quantity doesn't match the price. Now that that's out of the way, it's a really nice place and... we had a good time. The way you order is very odd, you fill out a paper menu and bring it to the register and pay. The order isbrought out to you (or not). I had to ask twice for the rest of my order as we sat and waiting with nothing to do or eat afterwe finished the first dish. Lastly they have a tip bowl next to the register with a sign that says please tip. So you are askedto tip before you get service and it's very little service anyway. It's a south fork vibe that feels out of place on the northfork. Read more
Never ever again. We have a second home in Peconic for the past 15 years. This is our first and last time here. Filling out... paper menus, paying first is like Sizzlers- we got the tuna tartar and asked for bread or crackers when it arrived only to betold sorry you have to pay for that separately. They ran out of the lobster we ordered and decided to tell us after an hourwait. This place is all about ambience not about service. For the money you spend here YOU DEFINITELY DO NOT GET WHAT YOHPAID FOR! Read more
Great ambiance. Beautiful setting. Great vibe. Service perfect. Had Lobster Cobb along with a nice Chardonnay. Then went out to... Beach club for another nice White Burgundy...great afternoon. I give high recommendations. Read more
There were four of us dining... After having our first order(s) (two) of Rock salt baked shrimp taken back because they couldn't... even be peeled they were SO overcooked(!), the manager brought us a replacement dish. A little easier to peel, but nonethelesschewy. For $29 per dish for shrimp they could have at least removed the heads and cleaned the shrimp. The Domata salads werenothing more than tomato halves of varying degrees of ripeness, with cores. For $33 per dish, this was a joke, a bad one on usthat is. The dressing was tasty, however, LOL. Our thoughts were unanimous on the way out. Bottom line, avoid these dishes - theburgers on a nearby table looked like the way to go!! Read more
I loved everything. The setting is unique, so hard to find, right on the water such a nice place, upscale . Probably you pay 30%... more for the view and decor that is to die for, and the bar on the sand by the water is WOW. You want a place on the water,great service and not so cheap tasty food, this place is for you. I have a very sensitive stomach, any preservative I don'ttolerate, this was fresh and tasty food. I will definitely go back. If I want cheap food I eat at home. I had a chicken leg withbaked potatoes ($3) at some other restaurant for $22, that was a rip off. You want affordable go to a fast food.

2 stars solely for the waiter Uriell who was a delightful Frenchman. The cute but standoffish hostess explained you order off a... plastic coated menu by circling a paper menu which was attached to a clip board. I would accept this at a facility that chargedaccordingly however the restaurant is extremely pricey. Getting past that strange encounter you now must put your mask back onand PAY IN ADVANCE for your meal with a cashier at a cashier stand. What was perplexing even further when we asked to order ourwine and wanted to relax with our 1st course we were told no, we had to order everything together. The bottle of white wine cameout room temperature. They poured all of us a glass, needless to say they took it back and returned with a cold bottle, bread,appetizers and the entrees all at once. We started with a shrimp dish for (2) which we were required to remove the shell andthe black veins. Maybe because we arrived late in the evening and the kitchen help wanted to go home I do not know. I did askabout the tipping procedure and Uriell said the front of the house staff, waiters, hostesses, busboys all pool their tips, butnot the chefs. At the end of the meal we left a $50 tip on the table thinking how if we were not with great friends what a disappointment the meal was. Very costly and certainly not worth it. Nice facility however there was a huge disconnect withthe ordering system. We order 2 lobster entrees for (2 people) $84 & $74 for the other and they did not give us the small metalforks to poke out the meat. Only upon request did we get a disposable wood utensil which was a sad disapointment at the pricepoint of the dinners. I always give kudos when restaurants food is good however I can't in good conscious compliment anyone butthe waiter. I would pass this up for one of the many other delightful locations in the area.

During our girls trip we went there for a drink. Unfortunately beach club was closed, but we were still able to walk around.... It?s soo beautiful! Such a Greek vibe! I can imagine myself there during hot summer days. We shared a bottle of wine. The pricewas okay. But food prices were a little bit too high, we knew from the beginning that we will just go there for a drink. Read more
