"The crab cake is mostly bread, but it still tasted good. The scallops were excellent. My soul-less dining partner liked the short rib ravioli."

"This is a definite must visit. If you like calamari, I would definitely order this again. I had a cocktail, Rhode Island calamari, house salad, New England clam chowder, and a piece of the strawberry cake. Portions were on the larger side."

"Oyster shooters, Vienna lager, crab cake appetizer, Chesapeake Bay oysters, lobster roll, clam chowder, and their strawberry cake dessert I forgot the name of. First off oyster shooters are awesome. If you like oysters this is a great way to get a buzz going. The husband order the Vienna lager, said it was a perfect fit for seafood. It was a rainy winter day and the waves were roaring so I felt the clam chowder in my soul. Large chunks of potato and crab. Very good. Oysters were the appetizer and like pros it came with vinegar which it should. Lobster roll was served cold with a side salad. Was very refreshing. Good flavor. Crab cake appetizer was mostly crab meat and was served with aioli style sauce. Delicious. The strawberry cake pretends to be healthy but she is decadent. Good cap off to a lovely lunch. Definitely will return. Connor our waiter was awesome. Give him a raise."

"Tyler was a great waitress. Our salmon entree was amazing, except that we did not know the succotash had bell peppers, which we are allergic to. I wish they described the ingredients better. They had a table for 18 next to us, a table for just 2. That's not good. Thankfully, the manager was very kind to move us to a quieter area. The drinks were great! The cappuccino was not hot, maybe warm if that."

"Beautiful restaurant on the Asbury Park Boardwalk. We sat outside and enjoyed our view of the beach while people watching. The interior was beautifully decorated. They have a nice menu. We ordered the salmon avocado toast with a side of fruit. Next time I’ll try something else."
