    Restaurant looks great Corn soup delicious! Duck was ok. Small. The “cannoli” was too much. I found myself looking for more sweet potato filling. Sauce was good. Marge server very good

    Always love to go to this restaurant, food quality is always consist, top shelf. Management is always very gracious, if you are at the shore this is the place to visit. I have been going there many years, since it opened and will continue as it is my favorite place.

    Best restaurant at the Jersey shore. It’s a BYOB so take a good bottle of wine with you and enjoy the pork chop, steak or fish. All are excellent. Don’t miss the Jersey Corn Bisque soup. It’s the best soup ever. Friendly staff. Don’t miss the opportunity to go with friends or family.
