Our server Alex was so friendly and attentive, really made the evening feel relaxed. The cheese balls and peel-and-eat shrimp were delicious starters. The background music and drinks were just right for a comfortable dinner out.

Always busy, but the wait wasn&#39;t too bad. Their crab cakes are the highlight&mdash;deep-fried in a way I&#39;ve never had before, super crispy and tasty. Staff was really friendly too.

The seafood here is legit. Scallops were cooked just right, and that mac and cheese side? So good. Perfect for sharing with friends.

Been coming here for years. The family-style portions are huge, two people can easily split one entree.

Good spot for breakfast or lunch, just a block from the boardwalk. The service is fast and friendly, and the place has a cute nautical theme.

The staff here are so warm, it&#39;s like being at a friend&#39;s house. I tried the grilled fish for the first time, and it was cooked just right. That beachy vibe is the best part though, so chill.

French onion soup and pumpkin ravioli were really good. Hope they bring back the outdoor seating this summer.

Been coming here for years. The outdoor patio is great when the weather&#39;s nice, and they&#39;re super dog-friendly. Had the fish and chips again last night. The house white they suggested was a surprisingly good match for the fried food&mdash;cut right through the richness. A solid neighborhood spot.

The lemon berry blyss french toast was the star. Fluffy, not too sweet, with that perfect crisp edge. Staff was chill. Just a really solid brunch spot.

Mike was our server and he was really nice. When there was a mix-up with our order, he sorted it out quickly and fairly. It made the whole meal feel relaxed and easy.

The ice cream cakes are a real treat. I appreciated that they could do custom decorations from a photo, made ordering so simple.

The vibe here is just right for a quiet dinner. I really liked the warm lighting and how the booths felt cozy and private. It&#39;s a comfortable place to unwind.

Solid neighborhood Italian spot. The BYOB policy is a nice touch, lets you pair your own wine just right. Food&rsquo;s consistently good, feels homemade.

Crab cakes were on point, and the Bloody Mary hit the spot too. What I really liked was the vibe in here - the lighting was just right, not too bright, and the booths were super comfy. Felt like a nice place to just unwind.

The breakfast was fresh and healthy, exactly what I wanted after a walk. The avocado on the toast was perfectly ripe, and the poached eggs had that nice runny yolk. A solid spot for a simple, good meal.

The Easter brunch was lovely. We sat upstairs with a view of the ocean. I really appreciated the omelette station&mdash;you could see them using fresh eggs and veggies. The peel-and-eat shrimp tasted so clean and fresh. A nice tradition for us.

No reservations but they move fast. Got seated pretty quick on a Friday night.

Love that it&#39;s BYOB! They had glasses and an ice bucket ready for our wine.

The chef&#39;s experience is clear. The pasta tasted like it was made that morning, and the gelato was creamy and fresh. The espresso had a perfect crema. You can tell everything is made from scratch.

The sushi was fantastic, but the live music was a bit loud for my taste. It made it hard to have a conversation. Still, the place itself is spotless and has a cool vibe.

The bar seating is comfortable and the bartenders are friendly. I enjoyed a specialty mule while waiting for my table. It was a nice, relaxed way to start the evening.

The baked clams were really good, and we enjoyed the outdoor patio for lunch. Service was fine, though it got a bit slow once the place filled up.

Love this spot by the water. The marina view is so nice for a summer evening. Just sat there with a drink, watching the boats. It&#39;s a bit pricey, but the scenery makes it worth it.

The tuna bites were cooked just right, with a good spicy crunch. Really enjoyed them.

The vegetable slice of the day is the only thing I come for. Grabbed a slice of the zucchini and mushroom today. The crust is thin and crisp, and the veggies are always fresh. It&#39;s a simple, reliable bite.

Server was really on top of things, friendly without being overbearing. Suggested the braised short rib special, and it was spot on. Food came out quick, even on a busy Friday night. Good service makes a difference.

Perfect spot after Sandy Hook. The casual vibe is great for families. Their house red was surprisingly good with the fish tacos.

The live guitarist on weekends is a nice touch, makes for a great date night. The decor is unique and the atmosphere is warm. I just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price, felt a little light.
