“Absolutely divine and nostalgic

Before I begin, finding the actual entrance to the restaurant was quite confusing. Our shuttle driver just dropped us off at the entrance but once you go through the doors there’s a few other doors and no one was really there to greet the group or direct us where to go. We came later than anticipated (about an hour before closing).

There was no wait, we got a table by the window with a view of the dock. It was very ambient in the restaurant and it’s quite a large place. Our waitress was really kind and informative. I was quite impressed that the prices were reasonable for the fresh seafood. I ordered the special they had of the day and all the food (dinner entrees) came with complimentary bread for the table, side salad, and two sides to go with your meal. It was so good!

I’ve never had grilled tuna but it was absolutely delicious 🤤 the mashed potatoes were to die for too.

With all the food you won’t go hungry, I had to box up the little bit I had left to take home.“

The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“We’ve been waiting a long time to try this “hidden gem” although it’s not so hidden anymore as Philly Inky’s Craig Laban named it one of 20 places for seafood down the Jersey Shore this month. My wife had the famous scallops and thought they were delicious, reminded her of classic, fresh taste of the shore scallops from youth. My burger was good. Fries were tasty. Drinks were proper. Service was attentive. The scallops alone are reason to return.“
