The view of the bay is amazing... service is less than stellar..... and the prices are LA obnoxious. A mop and broom wouldn't hurt the ambiance. This place could be so much more the effort and hoopla!

All the reviews about host being rude & bad service? They’re all true. I was taking my spouse out on his birthday to this restaurant. We were reviewing the menu at our room. Smiling, happy, having a fabulous day in this oasis that is Fire Island. We left for dinner and showed up to this restaurant right at opening. Aside from a couple people sitting at the bar, the restaurant was empty. Not ONE single table booked. Despite this fact, the host told us he would not give us a window seat / table. Every single table in the house was open & empty. Every. Single. One. However he refused us any window seat / table of the bay. Let me repeat, at the restaurant called Cherrys on the Bay, we were refused a table showing the Bay, despite, every, single, table, in, the, entire, restaurant, being, available. Safe to say we’ll just avoid this place going forward. We did end up having some awesome pizza right next door though!

Ambiance is great. Very classy and cozy. Staff are very tentative. Definitely worth it. I'd say this is the five star restaurant of the island.

Wow, wow, wow! The entire experience was spectacular! We got to see a gorgeous sunset over the bay right from our table. Our drinks (Blue Cheese Martini and Spicy Mezcal Margarita) were fantastic..not too salty, not too sweet, just right! The service was impeccable. Our server, Regis, and the host, Ron, were super amicable, pleasant and accommodating. For apps, we ordered the Ceviche special, the margarita flatbread, and the Mussels Marine…all I can say is WOW!! Sooo good!! So good that we wanted to take the mussels broth and the ceviche marinade home with us. For entrees, we had the braised short ribs (delicious in a Cabernet reduction), the branzino (so fresh with a light, crispy top) and another round of the ceviche special. The key lime pie with the graham crumble was to die for (we were tempted to order a slice to take home!). Thank you, Top of the Bay and staff, for the loveliest, delicious, most delicious birthday dinner!! ?

I tried to dine here with two friends. The old man at the counter told us they were full for the rest of the night at 6:00pm. We could tell by his facial expression when we first entered the door. ( I was with a white friend who pointed it out) safe to say the below claims of racism are most likely true.

5 star top rating for a TOP shelf place to eat. Amazing bay tender there too. When in Cherry Grove, you must check it out.

Top of the Bay was an elegant dining experience on this wonderful little gay island -- the drinks were strong and delicious and the appetizers looked like they could be in a magazine! The taste was a whole other level, the crab cakes I wish came with more than one but 10 stars all around, if you want to feel a little fancy out here definitely go enjoy a nice sunset dinner.

Honestly, one of the top 10 best meals I’ve had in my life, and it takes a lot for me to say that! Food was fresh, delicious, and an appropriate serving size. I could’ve eaten another whole bowl of the spinach risotto and will be dreaming about it! Service was fantastic- I have several food allergies and our waiter was more than happy to make the kitchen aware. As Fire Islanders for 30+ years, this is the best meal you will get on Fire Island! We will absolutely be back!Dietary restrictions: Most options on their menu are gluten free. I appreciate restaurants that tend to gluten free patrons already without making us feel bad or feel like we have to completely change the dish.

Best restaurant on the whole length of Fire Island. Clients come by water taxi from all communities so reservations are a must. It ain't cheap but there's actually nothing cheap on Fire Island in my experience the food is always very good. It's a small space surrounded with windows overlooking the bay- so yes the acoustics can get loud if there's a large table. Great view of sunset from certain tables. The lighting on some tables could be better- I like to see what I eating but overall it delicious. My favs - short ribs- scallops. Ron is a doll!

A must if you are looking for a slightly upscale dinner place on FI. It's a great blend of FI casual with good food, good atmosphere and friendly help. The braised short ribs are amazing and so are the drinks!

Terrible food lousy manager. Overpriced is only the beginning. They allow a level of noise not heard outside a ball game. Former owners knew how to run the place. Thank god there are better choices to get a better dinner. Will never return Should be called Bottom of the Bay The good reviews we're probably paid for. Avoid this dump at all costs. Shitty all around place
