Top Of The Bay - Sayville

Wonderful view. Great food. But hostile, sarcastic waiter (tall, thin, brown hair and beard) who didn?t seem to care we were there or really want to wait on us. What a shame for the establishment.

The Braised Short Rib is absolutely on point.. fabulous service, fantastic view ??????????

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and is a wonderful choice for upscale dining on Fire Island. We ordered the rock shrimp, sea scallops, and roasted chicken, all of which were delicious. It is advised to make reservations in advance.

We?ve eaten at Top of the Bay for years. In fact, my husband and I met there on a quasi blind date 19 years ago. This past week we spent our first week long summer -post pandemic vacation in Cherry Grove. We were fortunate enough to eat at TOB 4 times! Each dining experience was better than the previous one. Food is top rate, service is better than any restaurant on mainland Long Island, and the bartender will keep you coming back night after night. It?s by far the best eating establishment on fire island.

This is my second season visiting this restaurant. I do love the atmosphere and the wonderful views, but the food and floor service unfortunately are inconsistent. For my son?s birthday they even forgot the candle for the cake and the surprise was ruined as I had to ask for one. When I told the owner about it he was indifferent. The service at the bar on the other hand is great, the lovely bartender is attentive, skilled and super nice. The mussels seems to be constantly good, and so is their salads and soup. They also have a wonderful and extensive wine menu. So you always have that together with the view to look forward to.
