We really wanted to like this place, and it came highly recommended by several friends and family. Our server was nice enough, but we barely saw her. The 2 martinis we ordered were just bad. Tasted like rubbing alcohol, and we usually love a good, strong martini. Our appetizer, the Crunchy Tuna Sushi roll, was delicious, so we let the drink issue go (plus we had only asked for one appetizer and she brought 2, so we already felt bad pointing out that mistake). Then our meals came out and were just terrible. My crab pasta had zero flavor. I poured a gallon of salt, pepper, and Parmesan and tried to eat as much as possible, because I was starving. My husband’s stuffed pork chop was hard and dry. We honestly couldn’t believe it! I was shocked that we weren’t offered bread at the start of our meal, but realized later it was not a complimentary item. We weren’t asked if we needed more drinks, or anything honestly. When we finally asked for different drinks, we were brought the wrong menu, so we just gave up and chatted with the manager. He was generous enough to comp the meal, but seemed surprised about our experience. Overall this place is bland, over priced, and really disappointing.

First time back since COVID and it is as good as it was before. Had a bit of a wait for our table (since it was $25 a person to hold the reservation, table should have been ready but the positives far outweigh this), went to the bar for a drink, where they have a nice selection of martinis. The food was fantastic, everything. Seafood was fresh and cooked simply and perfectly. Our server was extremely professional, really top of her game. Will definitely be back, as always.

Visited for the first time this evening. We did not get a chance to make reservations so decided to try our luck with sitting at one of the bars. We found two seats at the outdoor bar and had the best service. Anthony was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. He made us feel welcome and was very personable. He gave us plenty of time to order and offered great recommendations. (Don’t skip the tomato salad or blueberry pie- both delicious!) Our food was delivered quick but we never felt rushed. Will definitely return next time we are in town!

Let me begin by saying that I was very wary of the hype this place has gotten over the past few years. It was virtually impossible to get a reservation, which is why visited on a Sunday. However, I am pleased to report that this place definitely lived up to my expectations.

Very expensive, even considering the area and inflation. With that being said, I still come back every summer Im on vacation. The food is delicious. I have never had a bad meal here. The service was good but not great, we didnt see our server too often. The cocktails were ambitious but lacked balance and we’re just okay. I would recommend coming here if visiting the area or for a special occasion.

The best that Margate has to offer in terms of high end dining. The staff is on top of their game starting with the manager Conor who made sure everything was top notch including the specialty cocktails which were Strong. The Meatloaf and Stuffed Pork-chop are always winners. Great place highly recommend.

This place is outstanding, make sure you go there! My wife and I both got a seafood special which was a lobster tail, crab, scallops, and shrimp. The portions were huge and cooked to perfection. Our friends all got something different and they loved what they had. Service was perfect and at the end so was dessert! Reservations are a must.

They know what they’re doing! We are very picky and rest assured, you will not find any better for the quality, value, ambiance and dining experience. Our server, Gabe, and his team (service assistant and food runners were also wonderful) on a Sunday early evening was beyond reproach. We are an LGBT couple and felt completely welcome and well treated which is not always the case. We had the three course menu the food was outstanding from beginning to end. Cocktails were on point and delicious. Hosts were charming. The entire experience was a 10/10. We live 5 minutes away and rarely go out to eat but we’ll be back frequently. Thank you so much!

Come here every year for our anniversary. The food and drinks are excellent being sourced from their farm and the Blueberry pie is AMAZING! Probably one of the best restaurants at the South Jersey shore.
