“Food was legit and impressive considering they made everything for a rehearsal dinner and it came out in a timely manner and not one dish was cold. Service was great in a beautiful surrounding ”

“My wife and I were there for lunch on 3/25. It has a new ce bar atmosphere and Sue our waitress could not have been better. She was very welcoming and attentive. My wife had the cheesesteak egg rolls either a glass of Pinot Grigio. I had the magi magi tacos with a glass of Stella. Reasonably priced and would definitely go back.”

“Nice burgers, and EXCELLENT fries. Really nice customer service and it was done very quickly. We had a variety of burgers but the Kona burger was the clear winner!”

“So...here's how concerned the owners are: they hire a woman who sits across the street with a Harris's Hawk to ward off the seagulls from bothering the outdoor diners. That's a great owner !”

“We love La Vecchi Fontana and have been going there for several years now. The food is excellent and the service is great. Never had a bad meal there. We highly recommend this restaurant if you love good Italian food.”

“To begin with, it’s important to remember that the Icona Resort in Avalon NJ is incomoarable among the other available seaside getaways at this location along the Jersey Shore. Immaculate spotless and exceedingly comfortable accommodations await your visit. A wide range of dining options are available to satisfy almost any palate; and a brew pub is also located on the property with tasty filling pub fare. Poolside service is also available for a quick bite prior to your trip to the beach, which is immediate to the facility. After a bit of sun, back to the beach bar for music and drinks with friends. A morning coffee at Shimmers Bistro at the Icona is a must, where Starbucks coffee and continental breakfast items can be had, while Pasquale, the resident Barista will engage you with his signature “witty” banter. Icona is a must for your first class getaway.”

“My husband and I have been to Shorebreak many times over the years and we’ve always had a wonderful experience! The food is really tasty. He loves all of the jerk chicken dishes and I loved the pastas and pizzas I ordered. Their dishes are traditional (in a good way) and tasty and the prices are reasonable compared to some other places nearby. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We usually eat on the back (covered) patio, but the inside looks like it has been updated. A hidden gem in Avalon!”

“Our waiter. Blake was excellent. I ordered the chicken Cordon Bleu, which was new to the menu. It was cornflake, encrusted, chicken with ham and Swiss cheese. There was no cornflake crusting or any type of crusting and no Swiss cheese inside the chicken. It was the beginning of a new menu item, but still was disappointing.”

“I have been here many times. I usually get the veal parmesan and garlic bread. So amazing. I am Italian and it's delicious. Nice romantic atmosphere. If your in the area, check it out.”

“Our second visit to the Whitebrier. Get better every time. There is a vibrant outdoor patio that brings a lot of energy and music. We sat in the restaurant off to the side (motorboat club) and enjoyed the patio vibe from a distance. We loved the food. Namely the sushi. Got the coconut shrimp, blackened scallops for spa. And crab cakes, aki and romantic rolls for the main. Everything was delicious”

“I ate at the Princeton for lunch or dinner about a dozen times in the summer of 2023. The food always tastes great, and the atmosphere is my favorite on 7 Mile Island. But what keeps me coming back so often Is the world-class staff. The hostesses always greet you with a smile. The management led by Pam and Michelle are always a pleasure to catch up with, the bartenders make great drinks and the wait staff is very attentive and courteous. Even though I love all of the servers I've had over the years I want to give a special shout-out to my two favorites Michaela & Sarah. Both of these lovely young ladies always make my dining experience exceptional. Keep up the great work Princeton!”

“We enjoyed our meal. My husband found the clam appetizer to be flavorful (broth) and I enjoyed the arugula salad (light dressing). The salmon entree was prepared nicely with olives and light tomato sauce and sizable piece of fish. My husband really enjoyed the flounder/crabmeat special - delicate and tasty. One negative is that the fish special was $10 more than any menu entree.”

“food is excellent and bar is huge with excellent bartenders... although the dinner tables show some wear (needs a lil TLC) - thou i understand it was up for sale. the entire block even with the Princeton, Whitebrier, & Sea Grill all up for sale. weekends in the summer months are incredible ?”

“The BEST pizza you will EVER have. We have been visiting circle pizza for over 20 years. We visit every summer when we are vacationing in Avalon, NJ. We wish having their pizza wasn’t just limited to our summer vacations. Also, their cheesesteak eggrolls with the spicy ketchup is 10/10. We look forward to this pizza EVERY year!!! we love circle so much!! ?”

“Truly one of our favorites, and they must have when you’re in the Sea Isle City area! Illustrating that everything is made to order, the restaurant can accommodate many dietary preferences. Great twists on Italian!”

“Daughter and I just left and had a nice lunch. I asked for a sandwich not on the menu and they made it for me: A sliced egg on white bread with mayonnaise, lettuce, and onions sliced diagonally-- the way my mother used to make for me!”

“My boyfriend and I had taken a trip down to Cape May to visit the zoo. We decided on Julio's after a brief maps search. The restaurant is similar to a cafe vibe, with kiosks as well as a front desk to pay with cash. I loved the variety of options available. The man at the front counter was friendly, personable, and seemingly proud of his food. He should be, everything was phenomenal. We ordered a burrito with chicken, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, lettuce, tomato, corn salsa, etc. I asked the chef to please make sure nothing was spicy--I am unfortunately not fond of spicy foods. The chef was not only receptive, but made sure to put the spicier toppings on the side so we could still have them to try. We also ordered the black bean dip and the mexican street corn. The flavors were perfect, everything blended so well. I highly suggest visiting this restaurant for the authenticity that a lot of chain restaurants lack. The standout point here is the serving sizes. This burrito was larger than my thigh, and I eat a lot (for reference). The food was more than filling, and exceeded any expectations I had before dining. Nicely done, Julio's! We will definitely be returning.”

“The staff, as usual did an outstanding job. The service, food, and atmosphere are fantastic. We absolutely love the live music on the weekends. The servers and management are always accommodating, pleasant and welcoming. The managers are terrific and their staff are equally as great. We always enjoy our meals and has become our favorite place to eat in Wildwood.”

“I am a local who works on the island, Giovanni's is the real deal. Best Hoagies around, on and off Sea Isle. I recommend the Old World Italian on a seeded roll, if you like sharp provolone and prosciutto. The owner and staff are amazing. You really can't go wrong ordering anything off their menu. Made to order and FRESH! Especially during the summer when the produce is Jersey Grown and I love that the owner gets his produce locally.”

“This place is wonderful! If you’re in town you must stop here. We came for breakfast on my daughters 7th birthday, we had a wonderful server….got our food so quick. It was all delicious and they made her day extra special. They brought out a slice of cake and the entire restaurant sang happy birthday to her! This place went above and beyond”

“My wife and I visited this evening thinking we had a reservation. The reservation was mistakenly made by me for the following week. What impressed me was that Joe, without a hesitation, sought out a way to make room for us to dine. We were made to feel unbelievably welcome the entire time. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was to die for. It was so nice being in this space with so many people who were enjoying their evening. The entire evening, as people were leaving, I could not help but hear the sincere thank you’s that were being offered to the staff. This was truly a special experience and I recommend anyone who is visiting Stone Harbor to visit this restaurant.”

“I was in the Wildwoods for octoberfest and found this place while walking around. Stopped by and grabbed a Cheesesteak, and my kid got a cheeseburger. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly! Clean store!”

“Best brewery around! Not only are their beers tasty, but the staff is amazing! They do not serve food, but you can order and have food delivered or bring something with you. And, on select days they do have food trucks as well.”

“I love their beer. Anytime I'm in the Cape May area, I make sure to stop in whether it's to enjoy beer there or grab what I can to bring home. If you're in the area, stop in. The beer is fantastic.”
