It’s time to kick off the start of summer and Moby’s is still the place to be. The restaurant first debuted as a Montauk pop-up over a decade ago and then moved to its current spot in a charming home built in the 1880s situated along the harbor. Nautical themes run throughout the space that’s complete with a replica sailboat to set the mood.
This year, the East Hampton hotspot from Nick Hatsatouris and Lincoln Pilcher is introducing a daytime menu and bar program (can someone say “Summer Friyay”?) that features vegetable dishes, pizza from the wood-burning oven, delicious pasta, local seafood, fresh salads and more.
Some standout items include smoked bluefish, grilled octopus and summer squash. For a heartier option, the wagyu flat iron steak and Montauk swordfish are not to be missed.
With the help of bar consultant Nathalie Durrieu, guests will feel like they have been whisked to an exotic location, as her creative drinks — including daytime spritzes enjoyed in the Apertivo Room — are a must- sip. If you’re craving some oysters (Moby’s is not too far from the water, after all), a happy hour, paired with a new martini menu, will be offered weekdays.
If you’re planning a bigger get-together this season, the space can accommodate up to 250 guests, thanks to its outdoor and indoor areas, which include a covered patio, the Pizza Lounge and the Apertivo Room.
There’s also a backyard lawn, firepit and courtyard area.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting for the weekend, Moby’s needs to be on your Hamptons itinerary.
