I usually sit outside on the beach view deck and get a beer and an appetizer... Don't like the inside of this restaurant which also has a beach view. It feels like a cafeteria.
Prior to Icona's ownership my favorite sandwich the Turkey Club was a family favorite...this is no longer on the menu. So the rest of the menu is 'meh'..and over priced
The staff is attentive..go for the view not the food.

Parking: During beach hours in season parking can be tight

Wheelchair accessibility: The deck is on the second floor...I am unaware of elevator access. There is a ground level area...but not sure of the hours. The lower level location does not have a water view. The dunes create an obstruction.

Not like the old Windrift. Third deck has very limited hours which is disappointing.

Parking: Once the beach clears out, parking is easier.

God awful food at nyc prices. Trying to sneak in a 2.5% surcharge for using a cc is a dirtball move considering no mention is made prior to being seated

I’ve never seen wasabi this color before, I’m super curious where you sourced such a wasabi from. Is it local?

And not even bothering to use sushi rice when you charge 15 bucks for a roll makes me suspect you think your guests are stupid or don’t know any better. Acme sells a better roll.

Amazing time at the Piano bar, then around the corner is another room with an 8 piece band and large dance floor. Food is very good! Topped the night off with a walk on the beach just steps away.
It is a must visit when in Stone Harbor/Avalon N.J.

Wedge salad great- lobster pizza just ok. Service on Saturday night was non-existent. Expected more for these prices and “resort “ set up.

Sat at a table directly under large air conditioning vent. It was so cold my family left mid meal. We asked manager to turn it down but she did nothing. Server couldn’t reseat us. HORRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE! Food came out at all different times, appetizer came last after we had finished everything else, Mahi Mahi sandwich was practically inedible.

It's was over priced. The food wasn't that good.
Take the kids chicken finger out of the basket so parents don't have to ask for another plate. The server was busy and took forever. Had to put ketchup on a drink lids.
The four meatballs were the only thing that had good flavor.

The All White room is terrible. Most people like a dimmer bar atmosphere I believe

We own a place across the street, so proximity is part of the reason we have frequented this place so much, despite the dramatic decrease in service and quality. We have probably gone here several hundred times in the past 12 years. This year might be the year we stop. On back to back days the bartenders didnt know how to make drinks properly. A mojito and a margarita are not difficult to make ir unusual, and these gentlemen didn't even know what muddling was. No business being up there and certainly nit behind the bar.
