I've been coming to Borgata now for years, but this was my first time dining at Angeline. We had dinner reservations for 7:30 pm on a Sunday night for my girlfriends birthday. After walking around the casino for a while we decided we would like to move our reservations up an hour. We stopped by the hostess stand and they adjusted our reservations without hesitation.
6:30 rolled around and both the bar and dining areas were busy. It was just the two of us and we were seated at a half circle booth for 5. It made seating a little awkward, but they were nice enough to accommodate our reservation change so it wasn't an issue. The lighting was nice and dim in the dining room which added to the dinner experience for the occasion.
I started off with a Manhattan Figura, which was good, but I could've done without the chocolate bitters. She had an Aperol Spritz and asked for the Aperol to be light. I tried it and thought it was light and refreshing, a tad sweet though.
The bread served with dinner was soft, warm, and the sesame seeds added great flavor. After some deliberation we decided to split the tasting board with came with an assortment of cheeses and Italian meats. It was also served with a perfectly toasted crostini that was warm and crisp on the outside but soft on the inside, perfect for spreading on the smooth and creamy ricotta that came with the tasting board. There were two other cheeses, one that my girlfriend loved that was on the stronger side, and a more mild cheese that I enjoyed. The italian chopped salad, which we ordered to share as well, was so good that I'd order it over and over again each time I come back in the future.
Entree wise, we decided to split Wood Roasted Cod and Linguine with Clams. The pasta is made in house and was perfectly cooked, Al dente. There were 7 or so little neck clams along with some chopped clams mixed in. Breadcrumbs were sprinkled on top and added great texture and our waiter added lots of freshly grated Parmesan. The cod was light, firm, and flaky, and served over a bed of cauliflower. We enjoyed both of our entrees and were happy with our selections.
We overall had a very good experience at Angeline. Staff was accommodating with our reservation request, the food was very good, and I thought the prices were fair especially considering the restaurant being in an Atlantic City casino. At times I struggled to hear our server as it was kind of noisy in the dining room and he spoke softly, thankfully my girlfriend didn't have issues with that. I would return to dine here, next time choosing different entrees but ordering the chopped salad again like I stated previously.
