“We took my daughter for her 21st birthday because we are such Hells kitchen fans. It was like walking into the TV show and the open kitchen concept was wonderful. They even had the red team side and the blue team side of the kitchen. Chia was our server and she was awesome ,very knowledgeable,very helpful, very friendly and very efficient. The food, although I felt was pretty pricey, was excellent. You're actually paying for the experience. The cocktails were also very nice. I had the dinner with the wine pairings which was perfect. They brought my daughter her sticky toffee pudding with a candle in it and sang happy birthday. We couldn't have asked for a better night. “

“Yes. Pizza is so good here is what we got: -Plain Cheese Pizza - I am pretty sure you cannot go wrong. -Fuckin Gindolune - I basically would never order a cheese pizza and just eat this one. -S#itfaced Chicken - it was good, but I would go back to the Gindolune in a heart beat. Subs: -Punjabo parm- it's spicy but tasty. Again spicy. -We had this other sub - it was broccoli and chicken and cheese (a couple of cheeses) - it was so so good. It's seasonal I think - and I can't write what the name is because of that. Service on point - they got our order right away and filled it. Ambiance -- well I would take out. The overall place is not a lot. and there literally is nothing around this joint. Overall: food is awesome, do take out.“

“WOOF! WOOF! Hello everyone! I am Charli, the adorable mini labradoodle who has been a loyal patron of the biergarten since I was just a tiny 8 week old pup.From the moment I first spotted this oasis located right off the boardwalk I knew I was in for something special. The outdoor seating area is simply pawsome. It's spacious shaded with umbrellas and adorned with benches, tables, and outdoor games for humans. There's always a gentle ocean breeze that keeps my tail wagging. And the fairy lights strung up overhead create a magical ambiance at night.Now lets talk about the food and all those craft beers and fancy drinks my humans so enjoy. I never met a pup who didn't like the smell of freshly grilled sausages . The texas size hot pretzel and the cheese curds are my favorite. I sneak a few when no one is looking -- don't tell !But the best part? The staff here is five paws up!! A special bark out for Patty, Thomas, Grace, Maria, Madison,Tim and Michael just to name a few. They treat me like the royalty I am. I get head pats, belly rubs, and a nice cup of fresh cold water ----even the other patrons love dogs as much as I love them.I can honetsly bark - this outdoor biergarten is my happy place.So if you are a pup or a human looking for a tail-wagging good time, this is the spot to be. WOOF - Love Charli.“

“I'm not sure what issues occur when some posters give negative reviews, but must say we were hesitant to have breakfast at breadsticks based on several of those reviews. Being hungry and ready for breakfast and wanting actual eggs, etc. My wife and I decided to give this cafe a chance. When we arrived, a greeter welcomed us and immediately sat us at a clean organized booth with a beautiful view of the ocean. The special for the day was a flanksteak skillet w/two eggs done to your liking, hash browned potatoes, onions, green peppers and queso fresco cheese for a very good price of $19.99, I actually could not finish the amount of food that was brought to our table. My wife ordered an ham and cheese omelet, the waitness took our order after being seated for about five minutes and the coffee server was the most attentive, pleasant person one could be, almost to the point of over doing it, but was fantastic! After about ten minutes our food was brought to the table, I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see the quality and quantity of food ordered. Each dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and cooked to exact desired specifications. So for us, we can only say how pleasant and attentive all the servers were and how excellent the quality and quantity of food was, and at a very reasonable price. Not to mention some gorgeous ocean views. We actually returned the next day with our daughter and her boyfriend and enjoyed exactly the same service, atmosphereand quality of food, highly recommend.“

“The food was excellent and although most people don't think about it, I do the place. Smelled good. Some places with seafood and meat have a little off smell but I think this restaurant has definitely figured out what works. The atmosphere was cozy. They have a little boost to sit in which is great and romantic. We went for our anniversary. We had the fish and chips and the salmon with the Irish potato and the lobster bisque which was fabulous. I think it's probably the best I've ever had in years many years. Wonderful food! Our waiter was very polite and wonderful. So the rating I gave was not that the waiter wasn't great but it was the timing I was still eating. Not even halfway through getting my soup when my meal arrived, which the soup was so good I had to finish but by the time I finished the cup My food was not as hot. And usually in a fine restaurant such as this. Their timing is usually impeccable. This was a faux pas that was not good. Hopefully they will work on that.“

“Ok, reservation is a must - especially if you're going to come here on a Saturday like we did. This was probably the best meal we had in AC. I want to give it a GREAT but there were two things that were just okay. We had a big party - so we got to experience a lot of food: -Pretzel with beer cheese - seems like something you wouldn't order - just do it. I would do it definitely again and again. -Mexican Street Corn Guacamole - also so delicious. -Wings- yes. -Fish& Chips- on point. -Korean BBQ Baby Back Ribs- no. super fatty and really not tasty. -Chicken Parm Burrata - well, this is why it's not a great - the chicken on the first sandwich was super rubbery and tasteless. But!! they came through and gave a new sandwich which was basically so amazing. -Classic burger - hard to get wrong - so good. -Salad - had the Sante Fe salad with added chicken - next time pass. Also - pro-tip... you can park in the Applebees parking lot and get it validated. (Call ahead and ask but we got it validated).“
