MONTAUK, NY — Friday marks the reopening of Montauk's popular Navy Beach for the summer season. Located at 16 Navy Road, the eatery will be open for dinner every night this weekend, as well as for lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

The beachfront restaurant will kick off its eighth season with signature favorites as well as the addition of new items throughout the menu, a release said.

New items include a crabcake with pickled vegetables, Korean BBQ aioli and daikon sprouts; spaghettini pasta with cherry tomatoes, chilies, mint, ricotta, breadcrumbs and the option to add a one lb. lobster; blackened Montauk Mako shark with charred tomatillo salsa, roasted corn, tortilla crisps and avocado; soba noodles with clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, daikon, bok choy and mushroom dashi; and an item back by popular demand—local tile fish with sushi rice, goma wakame and red curry coconut sauce.

Additional seasonal items will be added as market-based specials.

New to the dessert menu this season will be the addition of ice cream from Montauk’s John’s Drive In; Left Hand Coffee will also be available.

Known for rosé wine selections, Navy Beach will expand upon its offerings this season, with additional large-format bottles joining the roster.

This year’s list will include selections from Corsica, Sardinia, La Rioja, Sicily and the French regions of Loire, Provence, Bandol, Rhone, Burgundy and Champagne, as well as choices from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand and the United States.

The cocktail menu will include a section featuring of large-format cocktails, "perfect for sharing with friends and family", a release said.

The new “Pitcher Perfect” cocktails will include: Pomelo with silver tequila, grapefruit soda and lime; Lemon Cooler with vodka, lemon iced tea and thyme; and Navy Grog with light and dark rum, grapefruit orange and pineapple, Navy Beach said.

In addition, for yachters, the Torpedo service will be back this season, with a new and larger launch running weekends from late June through Labor Day. Yachts anchored in Fort Pond Bay will now also be able to order delivery from the restaurant via the eazyo app, the release said.

Navy Beach will once again host its annual fundraiser for the Navy SEAL Foundation, with a kickoff cocktail party on Saturday, June 17 from 3 p.m. to 5 pm.
