Got here about 90 min before closing and they were happy to seat us anyway. One of the few seafood spots on the Hamptons to stay open padt 9pm during the week, so that’s a huge plus in my book!
When this place was just the Lobster Inn it was kind of more divey and hit or miss sadly when it came to food quality. But still a local’s fave.
Manna, the parent company who bought this space, is pretty well known out here since they own some other notable restauranter spots like Shen in Sag Harbour and also another one of my faves on the north fork, Claudio’s in Greenport, so I knew already that the food was going to be great and that service was going to be awesome too. And we were not disappointed in the least bit by either.
Ordered the deviled eggs, new England clam chowder and frito misto to start. Our waiter was happy to split the soup portion into 2 for my kids who wanted to share it since one portion was going to be too big for just one of them. Their chowder isn’t as thick as the usual NE version but it packed sooo much amazing flavor and had a great ratio of clams, bacon, and potatoes. Deviled eggs were delicious at crispy andouie sausage chunks were exactly what that dish cake for! However, the extra added lobster meat you can add on to the dish was so NOT worth it, the meat pieces were small, very chewy and stringy. The Frito misto was great, calamari pieces were fried well and had a nice crunch to them. Very little variety on the veggies part, just large chunks of green and yellow squash that were cut way too big and not fried long enough so several of them were gummy. Tomato and chili jam was perfect but it is NOT kid friendly unless your kid loves spicy.
They kept the LH splat dish, essential a lobster bake with a 2 lbs. Lobster, clams, mussels, chunks of chorizo, corn and red potatoes in a delicious buttery herb sauce, menu days there was supposed to be crab legs/meat but there was none in our pot…. It’s 3x’s the price of the original one and slightly bigger portion wise but it still seemed a bit pricey for what it was. Tasty, but the price tag wasn’t quite worth it. Also ordered an additional lobster and that was priced okay. Potatoes that came with it has a weird chunky sauce on it so sadly that was left uneaten.
Overall experience was great, a couple of misses but regardless we’ll be back to try the rest of the menu again soon!

Perfectly poached eggs. Expertly made new England seafood dishes. Wonderfully fresh ingredients. Friendly, polite, and thoughtful staff. With a beautiful water view of the salt marsh.

We had a very nice quiet dinner here . Food was great. Lobster poutine fries as an app was very yummy . Cobb salad with Lobster and the best tartar sauce I have ever had I thought it waa salad dressing ! . I loved that they put deviled eggs in it! My husband had the blacked tuna sandwich special with coconut slaw. He said it was fabulous! And then fresh baked cookies and milk ! Our waiter was super nice and answered all our questions and gave his recommendations. Attention to detail is what it was all about! We can’t wait to go back In the spring .

I’ve been coming to the lobster inn for years now. The owners are very attentive to the way the place is run. The wait staff is very nice. They were open a few years ago and then switched hands I believe and now the original people are back and they have a new chef. Seafood is always fresh, the curry mussels I had last time I was there were so delicious if you don’t like seafood they have options for you too! My daughter loves steak…and likes it medium and she orders steak every time we go there. If you want to just get a drink and a quick bite this is a great place or if you want to have a bridal shower or a birthday dinner this place is great for that too! As a local I also love that they are open year round so when the summer spots close up I can still get my favorite dishes from Lobster Inn.
I definitely recommend checking it out.

This place is good! Pretty overpriced but some good value items are the oysters and the clam pasta. The oysters were some of the best I have ever had and the clam pasta was to die for and soooo flavorful. I did appreciate the waitress who was extremely helpful, and funny. This was certainly a good experience. Their calamari dish was way too small and portions were tiny but it was fine. There is a fun game area outside and I would give it a 4.5/5 if I could. Come here if you aren’t too hungry

The food is outstanding The only thing I didn’t like is that the waitresses have very bad attitudes. The folks were dirty. Luckily, I carry my own fork in my bag when I go out to any restaurant, but other than that, the food is outstanding. complement to the chef that made the food

The nicest thing about the restaurant is the view of the creek. We were a large party off 16 and the service was great. The food was fair. Chowder was tasty but luke warm. Lobster rolls were meager for $32 and served on hot dog tools not traditional
New England rolls. Salmon was fair; smash burger left much to be desired. Could not taste any garlic on garlic potatoes bites. They should have used fresh crushed garlic rather than garlic powder. Baked clams were okay but not hot enough. Overall, all the food needed to be hotter. Water is served warm without ice but server gladly brought ice. I gave it a three-star rating because of service and view. Food was about a two-star rating.

We ate there last night, 3 adults and 1 child, and it was a fantastic experience. With a reservation, we were seated promptly and greeted warmly. Our server was knowledgeable and nice, my daughter loved her, and was very attentive. The food was delicious, from the appetizers to the main meal and we had a great view of the marina, sitting directly by the windows. I used to go to the Lobster Inn as a kid, and am very happy that Manna at Lobster Inn allows me to keep my nostalgia alive and create new memories with my daughter.

We enjoyed an incredible meal this past Sunday. We had a large party and everyone’s appetizers and meals were delicious. I recommend the lobster dumplings and the chicken steak…so good! The affogato was a pleasant surprise, you don’t see that on too many menus. The service was also excellent. The ambiance and scenery only added to the experience. It was so good, we made a reservation for our next time before we left!
