The institution that was Gosman's Dock for decades has now become a shell of its former self. Baked lobster with seafood stuffing arrived vulcanized, the meat was stringy and impossible to separate from the shell. My partner's chicken was similarly not cuttable, of hockey puck consistency. The place was empty at 5 PM on a summer saturday so it couldn't have been the case that the kitchen was backed up. Waitress wondered to us where everyone has gone. Not here any more sadly. The amazing water views don't make up for the culinary shortfall.

Couldn't wait to go back to Gosman's hadn't been there since before covid. Arrived Saturday 7/17 at 12:30pm, thought there would be a line. What happened? Ordered surf and turf, ordered meat medium well, food served cold, I asked for my meat to be cooked more, I was told the chef thinks my meat was medium well, it was bleeding when I cut it. I asked to cook it more. My friend ordered the swordfish it also wasn't cooked. We figured maybe it was us. We noticed a couple sitting near us both sent back their swordfish. drinks watered down. Charged for a soda refill. The bill with tip was 180.00. NEVER AGAIN

Anyone who comes to Montauk, has to visit go’s a soon. The views are beautiful and the stores are great. There is a variety of stores to choose from and a lot of restaurants on the property. We enjoyed the ice cream shop, the restaurant and clam bar.

Oysters, clam chowder, lobster tacos, etc.
Not the best food you'll find in Montauk, but far from the worst.
The deck overlooking the inlet makes it worth a visit.
Good food and good views.

Ate at Gossman's Dock. Staff were great. Food was good. Will go back. Stopped there for lunch after drive from home. Very relaxed, welcoming. No wait for a table. (may be different under "normal" circumstances)

A trip to Montauk should include a trip to Gosman's dock. Have a lobsters, shop and watch the sunset. It's a cute nautical spot.

Good grief. I am born and bred in New York City, and I live and work there; therefor I am no stranger to overpriced and pretentious eateries. This restaurant has a lovely location, with outdoor picnic tables, where one can watch the boats and enjoy the seaside air. However, we went to dine here, started reading the menu, and we simultaneously burst out laughing. Overpriced is a ridiculous understatement...the prices were frankly laughable. This restaurant is literally priced exactly the same for some items as a certain famous chef's headliner restaurant in downtown Manhattan. Here's my idea: Go to any of the three authentic Montauk seafood spots (easily identified by the lines and vehicles parked on the main drag) and drive back and park right on the jetty NEXT to Gosman's and enjoy the exact same view and sea air for literally one tenth of the price. Places like this are what ruins Montauk for the people who love it for authentic reasons. A pity.

Delicious and perfectly prepared lobster that you order at the window and then eat at tables set up for customers. The lobster came w steamed muscles, muscle broth a bowl of lobster bisque and an ear of corn. Just a wonderful place to enjoy a seafood dinner al fresco.

Gosman's Dock in Montauk, NY was founded in 1943 by Robert and Mary Gosman. At the time, the Gosmans were fish packers and "fishdrummers" (agents for Fulton Market). The Gosmans family bought the properties in 1950 and additional land in 1958. The restaurant started out as a chowder stand, specializing in lobster rolls. The wholesale lobster and fish business and the quality of the seafood encouraged the family (five sons and a daughter) to develop the Gosman's Restaurant and Clam Bar to what it is today. As the restaurant developed, clothing and gourmet food shops and tourist services were added.

Hi, we will be on holiday in new York for two weeks 26 june - 10 July. We are spending 10 days days in Manhatten including some day trips. We re thinking about spending 5 days visiting Long Island. I am looking for advise on where to stay.....each area is so different. We would like to do some shopping, eat with the locals, do some wine tasting and walk on the beach. Any advise on which location we should look for accomodation will be helpful. Thanks, Carmel
