Our Story – Montauk Saltbox | Coastal Dining & Seafood Restaurant
Introduction
Every great restaurant begins with a vision, and at Montauk Saltbox, that vision is deeply tied to the sea. Our story is one of tradition, community, and a love for the ocean’s bounty. What started as a humble idea along the Montauk coast has grown into a beloved seafood restaurant where guests can experience the true essence of coastal dining.
Roots by the Sea
Montauk has long been known as a fishing community, and it is from this tradition that Montauk Saltbox was born. Inspired by the classic New England saltbox homes that line the coast, our restaurant was created as a tribute to both history and hospitality. With fishermen as neighbors and the Atlantic Ocean at our doorstep, we are proud to bring the freshest catch directly from the docks to your table.
