“Owens is great, I live off island and have not been in years. You have definitely stayed consistent over the year's and did not disappoint. Ended up playing muisc trivia and it was so much fun. I ate the bacon wrapped scallops, they were perfectly cooked and the gluten free italian chicken wrap 😋 Great night!“

“One of our favorite spots!!!Good food and great kid friendly atmosphere!“

“Oh my god.. When me and that bouncer locked eyes it was like a moment where time froze around him.. as his short ish hair flowed as the people sang I swear he gave me a wink as he watched the bar making sure nobody caused trouble... That handsome young BULL was doing his job so well and diligently I could have sworn he was born in the bar at 6' ft tall and that SHARP chin that could cut my frozen heart in two or shave it down to the perfect shape.. his white skin glistening in the bar light during the night as he watched over the bar and did his job with such GUSTO i wanted to take a BITE out of him... 10/10 just for that CHARMING gent. Call me one day if you see that Mr. H.... I want to know more about you.“

“Great place!! Beach bar is the best!!“

“I'm so impressed with this menu! Hot honey pistachio ricotta, amazing! Burrata, also amazing! Hummus with fresh veg, delicious! And the brisket melted in your mouth. You know, your going to a bar, you think meh bar food, but this place is incredible!“

“My husband and I went for a little getaway. This was our first time staying here (we usually stay in the Premier Motor Inn). We loved everything about it!! Location, cleanliness, amenities, staff, inside pool. Stayed in the family suite ocean front. It was an incredible stay and we hated to leave!! We will be back!“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. 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.“

“The absolute BEST place for a night out with friends! Heather's by the Bay serves delicious prime rib, seafood, and has nightly specials available. We love to go there to see a band called Jump The Line! Fantastic band, welcoming staff, and friendly people. Villas Fishing Club is a most excellent place for beautiful sunsets, as it is right on the bay.“

“Had a birthday get together. The manager Dave was awesome, reserved a few tables for us and allowed us to keep the cake in the cooler so it wouldn't melt all over! The servers and bartenders were great as well! Thanks you for helping us create a great memory!“

“I found it notable to share my experience. I was having a rough day and stopped into the Cct for a beer after work - janet was my bartender and Paige was my server. Through small convo I found out I played sports with Janet’s son and we were close in school. It was awesome to make that connection. I had 2 beers on my way to my second job and a cheesesteak wrap and Paige recommended grilled. Was super crispy and not soggy.
Grilled is the way to go. I’ll be back a more often for the wrap specifically grilled. Janet was busy but still managed her time to make me feel welcomed. As a bartender myself I know that’s difficult to do. Coldest draft beers in cape may county. Thank you Cct staff!!“

“This was our second time here, and it was just as good as the first. We got to have Sandy as our server. She always makes the experience great with her attention and charisma. We love the ambiance and fine dining here. We will gladly make the hour long trip just to come here!“

“Food was excellent as well as the service. We were patrons on a slower paced night, so we were able to walk around and check out the decor, which was pretty cool IMO. If you ever are in the area, stop in for a meal. I would bet you will be happy with the experience.“

“Probably one of the most beautiful cocktail bars in Cape May! And I can see why they get mixed reviews due the bartenders interaction with consumers… they feel very NYC like … and missing the Cape May hospitality!

With that said, the old fashion was insanely well done and the atmosphere super on-point with live music and interesting people watching!!!

Overall, how can you go wrong… inside the beautiful Congress Hall filled with memorabilia and stories … I think you should stop by !!

Enjoy and hopefully you have the opportunity to stay there as well !“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“Rum Row is a gem with a small but standout cocktail menu—highlighted by the incredible 12 Miles Out Martini, a fantastic twist on the classic espresso martini. If cocktails aren't your thing, their extensive beer list ensures there's something for everyone.

The service is top-notch, and the chairs are seriously comfortable. Just a heads-up: when it's crowded, especially along the back wall, it can get really hot. That said, the vibe is worth it, especially on the nights they feature live music!“

“Wish I could go back to the days when "Old Man Menz" and his daughter would serve us his fabulous meals and chat with us. What a family! We ate there soooooo many times and my family just loved it. We went there in the early 70's and 80's . What a place......it was a real experience. THANK YOU, MR. MENZ. You were so special!“

“Good food, good beer. Best Brussels sprouts ever!“

“The best cheesesteaks!!!!!“

“Excellent!! Our only disappointment is that we just discovered this Wildwood gem after coming here for years. Everything was fantastic & the staff were all awesome! The live music was the icing on the cake. Fantastic!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed dinner. We had fish tacos that were absolutely fantastic.“

“This place is awesome! My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to grab a drink and some food, but the atmosphere was unreal! The staff is friendly, the vibe is fun, and the service is consistently excellent. A special shoutout to Mike behind the bar—he's an outstanding bartender who makes everyone feel welcome. He's attentive, personable, and keeps the drinks coming quickly, even when it's busy. His positive attitude and great customer service are a big reason I'll keep coming back. If you're in Sea Isle City, Kix is definitely worth stopping by!“

“Great food and service! We will definitely be back! Anthony was a great waiter! Super friendly and knowledgeable!“

“We stopped here to grab a quick lunch/dinner before the 6pm ferry. Just wanted a quick and decent good meal. Wow were we impressed! Everything was delicious. Kendra was an amazing efficient server. We told her we were on a time crunch, and she made sure we had time to enjoy our food and not miss the Ferry. Thanks for the exceptional meal and service! We’ll stop by again on our next trip!“

“There aren’t enough words to explain how amazing this place is! If you love seafood….GO NOW!“

“Great Beach Bar Fun Time Recommend“

“The crab cakes delicious! The best i had in years! Hubby loved his scallops and my daughter loved her alfredo! Our server Kat was great too! Highly recommend!“

“Very good food. Large portion sizes. Then they had bingo by music. We had the Brussels sprouts, bacon & onions.

Then I think I had the bay burger. The burger was large. The top bun was a bit dry. But it had green peppers, mushrooms. Cheese burger & salad with vinegarette dressing. That was actually sweet.

We played bingo. None of us won but it was a good time.“

“Nice open space to spend time with family and friends. Casual. Inside and outside seating. Drinks are a little pricey (but it's Avalon) and there is a 2hr parking limit (street meters). We had finger food and drinks and had a great time sitting at the humongous and beautiful bar.“

“I will come back because I like the place but I just want to say that is has downgraded over the renovation.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re locals and chose Sax at the Reeds to celebrate our anniversary on a Tuesday night in September. Since many of the local steakhouses were closed, we decided to give Sax a try — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and even made something as simple as choosing a steak knife a fun and memorable experience. He explained where the knives came from, what they were made of, and offered his favorite — such a unique touch! The food was just as impressive. I went with a mix of apps and a salad — the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!), perfectly seared local scallops (I was expecting three and got closer to eight!), and the truffle cheese burrata salad, which was loaded with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, balsamic reduction, sea salt, and basil oil. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the New York Strip with truffle fries and grilled asparagus — a perfectly cooked, hearty steak that left him very satisfied. We left completely full and so happy with our experience. Sax exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a special dinner spot!“

“If you’re searching for pizza in Stone Harbor, waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, happy hour near The Reeds, outdoor dining, cocktails, or a place to gather with friends and family, The Pizza Pub checks a lot of boxes.

Located directly on Shelter Haven Basin, this is much more than a traditional pizza restaurant. The atmosphere combines waterfront views, outdoor seating, specialty cocktails, craft beer, and a menu built around pizza, shareable plates, and a relaxed Jersey Shore vibe.

One of the highlights of our visit was the cocktail program. We sampled the cocktail flight and had the opportunity to try several of their signature drinks. The Watermelon Mojito was especially refreshing and perfect for a warm summer afternoon overlooking the basin. The drinks were fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented.

Of course, pizza is the star of the show. The specialty pizza we ordered arrived loaded with toppings, baked with a crisp crust, quality ingredients, and plenty of flavor. Every bite tasted fresh, and it’s easy to see why this has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors.

Another feature worth mentioning is The Crew Room, a separate event space upstairs that offers its own unique atmosphere. The nautical décor, dedicated bar, and waterfront-inspired design create a private-club feel that would be perfect for parties, celebrations, private events, and group gatherings.

What really stands out about The Pizza Pub is the overall experience. You’re not simply grabbing a slice of pizza. You’re enjoying waterfront dining in Stone Harbor, watching boats pass through Shelter Haven Basin, enjoying craft cocktails, sharing food with friends, and experiencing one of the most unique casual dining settings at the Jersey Shore.

What it’s known for:

✔️ Pizza in Stone Harbor
✔️ Waterfront dining
✔️ Outdoor patio seating
✔️ Cocktail flights and specialty drinks
✔️ Craft beer selection
✔️ Private events and The Crew Room
✔️ Shelter Haven Basin views
✔️ Family-friendly atmosphere

The Philly Food Fanatic Take: Whether you’re staying at The Reeds, spending the day in Stone Harbor, or simply looking for great pizza, cocktails, and waterfront views, The Pizza Pub delivers a complete Jersey Shore dining experience that goes far beyond pizza alone.

“We had such a wonderful dinner at Blue Water Grill! From the atmosphere to the food and service, everything made for a really enjoyable evening.

Our waitress, Kim, was fantastic. She was warm, friendly, conversational, and made us feel very comfortable from the moment we sat down. She was very attentive. I especially appreciated her suggesting a wine for us to enjoy with dinner.

I ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes and green beans, and everything came out perfectly. The prime rib was cooked just right, the temperature was perfect, and the entire meal was fresh and delicious. The carrot cake was so delicious.

I also have to mention the martini. It was excellent! They made it exactly to my specifications, which I really appreciated.

The atmosphere was lovely, the food was excellent, and Kim’s friendly service made the experience even better. We had a wonderful evening and would definitely return!“

“My husband and I come down every summer...you are always our first stop when we hit town. Absolutely love your food and atmosphere! Nick took care of us and he was phenomenal! He was so kind, accommodating and truly just a great person. We stopped on our way out to let the manager Erik know how great Nick was. It wasn't just a thank you and move on...Erick, despite the place hopping took the time to ask us what we had...did we enjoy the menu...customer service all around was 150%. Highly recommend the rooftop, Crab Dip with homemade pita chips, Brisket Bites, Fish tacos and the very best Blood Orange margarita on the island!“

“We stayed here from Aug 30-Sept 1 2024. Absolutely an amazing stay. I would say this hotel is not one you stay in if you’re there for a whole week and expect to live in your room but for us it was everything we needed at a fantastic price. The room was clean, comfortable, updated and all around great. The staff, let me tell You how wonderful they are, we needed to check in later they said “okay we got it” no issues, our room was cleaned and refreshed within an hour of us being out the door and back from the store. We asked for a later check out and they had no issue giving us an extra hour. They were beyond accommodating when we needed assistance the day we checked out and even offered to let us use the accommodations they provide for guests. We will be coming back and staying here again.“
