“Definitely one of the top restaurants in Manahawkin/LBI area. My pasta dish was amazing, and service was great. Only downside to this place is it’s not huge and they don’t take reservations. We lucked out and got a front parking spot and table fairly quick. They also have a cool little outside area with a drink truck and a fire pit. This makes the waiting part a lot more bearable (keep in mind we only waited about 15-20 mins anyway). Overall, great experience. Certainly a spot you should try this summer if you’ve never been.“

“This place is a total gem of south Jersey. Been here for my birthday and came back for brunch the same week. If you are into seafood and love cozy bars this is the place to go. They have raw oyster bar but also there are a lot of cooked options. Their jersey deviled eggs and crab cakes are to die for but all the other options are pretty amazing as well. That being said, parking and seating might be limited during peak hours.“

“Food was very good, it was super busy and we got lost in the mix of it. Forgot our drinks multiple times. Small stuff but it became noticeable, but again, it was busy. The atmosphere was super cool and the arcade was a lot of fun. Parking was difficult and we had to park pretty far away, also.Parking: Parking is shared with the hotel and it was super packed. We had to park pretty far away. It was a distance to the front entrance.“

“Clean & fast service for a Friday night. Food came out hot. Mojitos were amazing. When you ask for extra sauce you actually get extra sauce.Kid-friendliness: Music is loud enough for a kid to have a game playing or talking without it interrupting other restaurant goers. I did not receive a coloring option for a kid but I always plan ahead and bring a restaurant activity anyway so that was a non issue for me. So you may want to plan to bring a table activity for your child.“
