Acclaimed Australian Executive Chef Chris Rendell offers a simple, clean, fresh, and organic market-driven menu with a focus on daily caught seafood. Chef Rendell has worked for many of the world’s best restaurants, including Sugar Club, The Providores, Public and Whitehall, and has been featured in Hamptons Magazine, Bon Appétit, Vogue, Glamour and Condé Nast Traveller. Chef De Cuisine Michael Hamilton comes to us via Acme, Kingswood and The London NYC. Michael started his career under seafood guru Rick Stein (the #1 Seafood rated restaurant in England). He then came to NY and served under Daniel Boulud. He was then put through his paces by Gordon Ramsey under whom he opened the London NYC. He later went on to open Kingswood and Acme in NYC. The Surf Lodge Restaurant was inspired by the beauty and culture of Montauk. All ingredients are sustainable and local; seafood comes fresh off the fishing boats of Montauk Harbor and produce from the farms of the East End and North Fork of Long Island.
The Surf Lodge hosts our own bar with some of our own signature cocktails. Come grab a drink, and watch the sun set! The fire pit will keep you nice and warm when the night air gets breezy.
