This is tough, went knowing the 2.5 average review. This is meant to be constructive and informative. First this place has great views and outside dining option, both big pluses. Live music on the Saturday we were their, which was a huge plus. In addition the majority of the staff looked liked they were trying to please. Food is evolving as they have a new chef (Tony) who is revamp,oh my god the menu, all the food was on the upper end of jersey shore dining, which means even the best restaurant at the shore is just not as good as what you get inland read philadelphia.
Couple of pointers for the restaurant crew. Hostess when you seat a party, tell the staff you have done so, I saw a 4 top get up and leave after no one came by their table after 10 minutes, maybe longer, and they had one of the best tables in the place. Bar staff, when the bar is 1/2 empty and you are busy making some drinks, keep an eye on new people enter the bar, just acknowledge that New thirsty people are at your station and you will get to them when you finish your current drink order. Oh and handing a drink menu when you do would be a good idea, maybe leave the menu on the bar?
Summer is here Rose is booming in sales, you have one on the list, fine, don't run out of this super popular wine.
Chef Tony came around to the tables multiple times to check on the diners, great.
The live music was dead on, everyone could feel the vibe and shook their bodies accordingly when they entered the bar area.
There were excessive waits on a bottle of wine and entrees, based on a maybe 50% occupancy of the restaurant.
You may read this and say no go, I suggest you try the place. They can easily get on a better track and the restaurant could be your repeat destination.
