We had our anniversary dinner here - so beautiful. Highly recommend eating outside. The steak was superb and the sides are very shareable. Only downside - while sitting outside, we were constantly annoyed by flies. Even when it rained (though we didn't get wet) the flies continued to bother us.
Tasty food, very good service, but portions are small compared to price, the atmosphere and the decorations make up for that
My wife and I enjoyed the food, the service , and the environment. The food that is offered is high quality and came out to us relatively quick even though the kitchen is shared by Catch 31. The service was on point as our server was attentive and knowledgeable , and our sommelier represented the restaurant and drink choices very nicely. The environment is Darkly lit and quiet , which is nice because Catch 31 is the opposite. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a fantastic dining experience.
The staff were super friendly and attentive. They handed us their electronic wine and beer menu which was great for those needing readers or extra light. For dinner we started our meals off with the shrimp cocktail, a Caesar salad and a wedge salad. The shrimps were nicely played with four large shrimp. The wedge salad was finished with smoked bacon and the Caesar salad was served with whole stalks of Romain lettuce and fried croutons. All were very good!
Great service and food but water is more than 6 per person. Food was excellent though! We sat outside and had great views of the beach and crowds while still feeling very secluded.
We go to the beach (a 4 hour drive) JUST to eat at this restaurant. The steaks are better than Morton's and Ruth Chris' and the service is perfect -- totally attentive but not hovering. The restaurant is on a smaller more personal scale. Great atmosphere. The other menu choices for seafood and salad are also OUTSTANDING.
Great dinner. The outdoor seating was closed due to heavy rain, but we sat at a window overlooking the boardwalk and beach. Service was excellent and food was very good. Restaurant is pricey but should be expected.
My husband and I dined here for a special date night while visiting family in town. Our experience was excellent, from the moment we were seated until the moment we left. We enjoyed the outdoor seating experience. The wine selection is great, the food was delicious and atmosphere is wonderful. Our server was polite and attentive. We started off with the Swedish meatballs, caesar salad, both of us had filet mignon and shared a loaded baked potato and also a side of creamed spinach (sides were big enough to share). Everything was excellent! Worth the
