Great service. Good pizza, highly recommend the fig pie. It's delicious. Also, ship wreckers are the best drinks!

This is now under new management called Bird and Betty's. Great place but $$$$.

Really good atmosphere here at night on the deck upstairs. They do 18+ and they can go downstairs. 21+ goes upstairs and they can't bring drinks downstairs. There's a $20 cover to get in which I thought was a little much. Drinks are average price. Shark attack shot is cool! Music was ehh and very populated by cops all around the bar. Overall good experience and would go back for the atmosphere

We were planning to go to a neighboring restaurant but ended up at Ketch Club. What a treat. Definitely a local place and, while not at all “highbrow,” it was casual and relaxed and fun and friendly. The food was delicious and our server, Nick,

This place was decent. I dont have anything bad or negative to say in particular which is good. I think the overall experience was pleasant. The wait staff was friendly and checked in periodically. I think the 3 comes solely from the food. Quality was subpar and didnt necessarily hit the homerun im usually looking for/anticipating. We all ordered some sort of seafood dish and given that we are on LBI and dining at a marina restaurant, youd think the seafood wouldve been tremendous. Im sad to report, it is not. Drinks come in medium sized plastic dixie cups, which rubbed me the wrong way also. Just doesnt feel right.. whats wrong with serving glasses when your drinks are over priced anyway? Just a thought.. Again, suitable enough for a party of 4.. wasnt the worst experience.. but i think i would have preferred a dif spot for our last dinner of the week here.

Just wanted to post my update since I predicted this place would be shut down within the next couple years....it is indeed for sale! Still open as far as I know but sure enough within two years of my original review it has been put on the market. Guess other people were seeing the same problems I was and stopped going.

Don't waste your time or money. The food was horrible-inedible. We told the server and asked to speak to the manager. She came back with a new check, having removed the food we didn't eat, but the manager never bothered to come speak to us.

Online Menu has prices much cheaper than in the restaurant- TOTAL bait and switch. They also tried to charge us for our kids, when it was kids free hours. OH and they charged $70 for King Crab Leg.
Rooftop patio is great, but the hosts are young & rude.

We've dined here a few times in the past several years. We've always gone there for an early dinner, so it hasn't been busy. We tried to give this place a chance, but every time the food was awful and the service was, at best, mediocre. It's a nice location, but that's about it. You don't need to waste your time or your money here. LBI has so many better dining options! If the wait at another restaurant is too long, go pick up some food at Pearl Street, Murphy's, or Surf Taco.

I can't give 0 stars on this but I would if I could. The woman at the hostess stand (Tracy) is a piece of garbage and so is the owner of this restaurant. I worked in the business for 15 years and owned my own place and I would have never treated someone the way she did. Also, when the owner was made aware, his apathetic response was worse. After my family and I had just finished our meal, Tracy decided to comment on our parenting based on a few pieces of pasta on the floor and a crayon left under the table. Not out of the norm when dining with a couple of 2 year olds and a 4 year old. In fact, since my restaurant was actually family friendly, that would have been considered pretty clean with that many kids. The remainder of the experience was mediocre at best. If not for the view of the sunset, this place would be closed or would learn about customer service. I will never be back and would never recommend to another. Black Whale and Parker's Garage, way better options.

I was at the ketch this past Saturday I observed a horrible blatant act of harassment / bigotry / racial profiling A middle age white woman was asked to put her drink down as she left . When a young black man was leaving , similar request but they crushed his drink told him to leave the premise .( white woman , black man were in same party ) Police were called for no apparent reason - the party ( mix of races , ages ) were polite, respectful .The owner was rude and observably racist Horrible example of racism Will never go back

Excellent time. Wonderful service and food was delicious. All of our meals were delicious. Highlight were the Scallops cooked and seasoned beautifully. This was a really nice dinner all around surprised by many of these reviews
