Great looking spot for those summer afternoons.. To be honest I would leave the kids at home but they have plenty of things kids can do to keep themselves entertained. Food was so so and they can do better if they tried. Service was up there with the worst I’ve ever experienced. The server did not look the part and was more interested in playing with animals, Food came out sporadically with one plate for this person a few minutes later the same for another. One order was wrong, mine was cold. It became even colder when I realized I couldn’t eat it with my hands as the server never brought out knives and forks. I saved the day once I found the server and was handed napkins and forks tucked away in their side pocket. Maybe this is why my food was cold but who knows. After dinner we all talked over our half eaten plates for a couple of hours until we got the check, well I mean hunted down another server to bring our check as our server was still playing with pets. Fortunately for us the table was finally cleaned up as we were standing up to leave. Would have loved another round of drinks but heck still waiting for that water we ordered. Nice place to visit, food ok, atmosphere great along with band playing.

It was OK. Menu was limited, if you like Sushi your in luck. Limited other choices, all small portions. One nice thing, there was no smoking or vaping. Would have been hot at the outside tables, if not for umbrellas.

We were at the biergarten. Great atmosphere. Outside. Live music. Decent beer. Good tuna nachos. TERRIBLE service. Didn’t get one appetizer we ordered and we waited more than an hour and told 3 people that they hadn’t yet come. Finally, just asked to take it off and get the check. The manager delivered the check and an apology and told us he comped our drinks (we had ordered one each, although we’d have ordered another if we were ever offered). Turns out he comped one. The cheaper one. I thought that was a bit tacky.

Great place to hang out on the Green and watch bands. The Sensational Soul Cruisers are awesome.

The Blu Grotto is so much fun. Great live entertainment, fresh sushi, pizza and drinks by friendly bartenders. The perfect Summer go-to spot at the Shore.

Awful! We made reservations on the patio yesterday for 5:15 right after the races were over. They sat us on the patio that was covered with Lantern Flies. Within minutes, one landed on my head and several were on and under our table. We asked, along with another table that was seated next to us, if we could go inside. They said no. The other table left. We then asked if we could sit on the other side of the patio away from the side of the building that was covered with the Lantern Flies. They still said no. Not only did they say no, my husband caught the hostesses mocking us because we had asked for another table.

We can’t say enough about the ambiance, food, wait staff, owner and manager…. Most especially the hospitality. We just got engaged and this was our first dinner out. Casey the manager brought us out numerous appetizers and glasses or champagne. He even sat down at our table to talk with us. We have never had an experience at a restaurant like we did here. I’ll tell you, it’s simply because Casey. He is the epitome of class, friendship, hospitality and respect. We can’t thank you enough!! We love you Casey!!!! Our serve Liz was amazing as well!!!!! The absolute best!!

The food was excellent. My partner had food allergies so they made the gnocchis with a white sauce a la minute. Service was every good. Friendly but on top of things. Only issue was we were left standing at the door waiting for a long time. Staff came and went. Hostess on the phone for an eternity. But in the end. A lovely evening.

Atmosphere was wonderful, seating was no wait with a reservation. Outdoor seating was comfortable and scenic. The food was small portion but a little pricey.
