Editorial Review for Harvest at Fort Pond – by Jean Tang
The Scene
Montauk is blessed with water--not only the Atlantic, but also bays, ponds, streams and their awe-inspiring vistas. A wall of windows and an outdoor patio overlook just such a vantage point, keeping the friendly, nurturing staff in uncommonly good spirits. The stadium-sized, vaulted indoor space matches the restaurant's great big approach to food.
The Food
It's a great place for groups, big and little, since everything is plentiful enough for sharing. True to its setting, seafood is best here, from the delicate, garlicky mussels to the tender, nicely seasoned swordfish medallions. Pasta isn't as good an option, as it arrives on roomy platters drowned in sauce. In season, the parma prosciutto with ripe, pink figs is worth trying. At the end of the meal, try their version of the ice cream sandwich, a fat vanilla scoop between crisp, sugary layers of phyllo-like pastry.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkTrue to the restaurant's homey, all-American theme, Harvest's sommelier has a preference for wines from Napa Valley, but there are also bottles from the lesser-known Paso Robles. Beware: The markup on wine is uncommonly high.
Save TimeBook a table up to a week ahead of time in order to secure a table in the summer, but no reservations are accepted for outdoor dining.

I love this place...I have been going here for years and can never get sick of this place. It gets booked up fast so be sure to have reservations! You will always have leftovers at this place and the service is always great. If you are in the area you must eat here!
Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: can get noisy, wait even w/ reserv.
