“The best place for food, drink and atmosphere.“

“From out of town, popped in after spending a day at jones beach and read the reviews online. Just wanted a place with good food with a casual vibe (I like pub bars for context). Phenomenal service, great wings, love the zucchini fries & price points were on point! Definitely recommend, I wish I lived nearby so I could visit often. But it was really nice seeing and chatting with locals at the bar who visit often. Didn’t drink alcohol but they look like they do heavy pours ;)“

“Tried the Sauerbraten with Red Cabbage . . . quite unusual to find such a dish in the US but it was excellent . . . and the atmosphere for a semi-formal dinner with friends and family is also excellent . . . If I ever find myself in this area again, this will be our meeting place for drinks & family meals . . .“

“I had a great experience thanks to our waitress. Lacretia was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. She checked on us regularly without being overbearing, kept our drinks filled, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. Her excellent customer service really made the visit enjoyable. I would definitely come back and hope to have her as our waitress again!“

We ordered the Moussaka enchiladas (delicious!), smoked salmon avocado toast, Mediterranean octopus (my husband loved the texture, I would have wanted it a bit tougher-crunchier), fried calamari (cooked to perfection!), and chipotle pita chips with dips. Our server, Billy, was professional and thorough.“

We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“To Kayla, the Bartender

Behind the bar where laughter flows,
Kayla shines, and everyone knows.
With steady hands and a welcoming smile,
She makes every visit worthwhile.

She remembers faces, names, and drinks,
Always one step ahead, quicker than you think.
Mixing more than cocktails in every glass,
She pours kindness that always lasts.

No matter how busy the evening may be,
She treats every guest like VIP.
Turning ordinary nights into memories to keep,
Creating moments that run more than skin deep.

So here’s to Kayla, one of a kind,
With talent, heart, and a generous mind.
May every toast be raised in her name,
Because every bar is better with Kayla’s flame.“

“The food is incredible!! And so are the drinks 👍Both my husband and myself were stuffed when we left. Jeff had the turkey burger and I had the lobster roll I asked if he wanted to split our meals but he liked his too much lol I had to eat most of the lobster off the top so I could eat it like a sandwich Took the picture after I ate a good portion off the top Mark and his crew are the best! Thank u again ❤️❤️“
