The video has the caption: "The real tea on Maverick's Montauk, go cry about it."

At the start of the video, Radice expressed frustration after waiting two and a half hours just to place their appetizer order. 

They also criticized the flavorless food and the poor service they experienced.

After three hours, Radice highlighted the first issue when their A5 Wagyu tartare arrived, oddly disguised in beet sauce. They sarcastically remarked, 'Imagine receiving A5 Wagyu untouched and questionably vegan?'

The situation worsened when they faced the disaster of the toppled seafood tower.

The video showed a friend's elaborate dress drenched in seafood tower sauce, completely ruining it. 

Radice quipped, 'Thank god it didn't fall on me, or I would've done a Teresa Guidice table flip.'

Radice was then charged $2,000 for a meal at the Montauk restaurant.

Despite the disastrous evening, the only action the restaurant allegedly took to rectify the situation was to "comp" the toppled seafood tower, leaving the influencers with a $2,000 bill.

The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media.

In the comment selection, many viewers shared their thoughts about this incident.

Many users are questioning if the chicken was even cooked, and another is asking why the influencers didn't leave after waiting for two hours.

One person said: is the chicken… cooked?!

A second wrote: None of this looks edible tbh

While a third commented: $2000 and it looks like they barely bothered to cook anything.

Another added: this looks like a punishment to eat here.

Someone else said: This is actually CRAZY why didn’t they comp your meal

Crying cuz I thought the chicken was tuna steak. Someone wrote. 

Whaaaaaat? 2.5 hrs for an app?? Nope!!. Someone added. 

Before its launch in 2023, Mavericks Montauk was touted as one of Montauk's most anticipated new restaurants by Forbes and Hamptons.com. However, the restaurant has disputed and denied the criticisms levied against it.
