We went there for lunch recently and it normally has a limited menu for lunch. The lunch was good but they forgot my appetizer. It proved to be good because the lundh dish was very large.The manager did take care of me when he heard about the missed appetizer.Hello Barnegat12, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I would like to apologize for our team's error in service. This is certainly not standard for us. Please reach out to me directly during your visit so that I may ensure an exceptional experience! We look forward to serving you in the future! Lindsay

Food: We ordered two entrees and were very disappointed with both. Red Snapper- nice presentation, incomplete preparation. It should have been cooked a little more. Some of the skin was soft instead of crispy. Grouper- did not taste like it was fresh and the blackened seasoning was pathetic. Drinks: The Monkey Business was a solid cocktail Service: Good serviceAmbiance: classy, old-school (think 1970s steakhouse vibe) with a piano player in the lobby Overall cleanliness: above averageBathroom cleanliness: above average

This was listed on TripAdvisor as one of the best seafood restaurants as great. Wrong!! Very disappointed in this place. The waiter recommended the shrimp and I would compare them favorably with the shrimp you get at "Captain D's". Potatoes were not brought out with the rest of my order and the they tasted as if they were left over from possibly yesterday. I would not go back here nor would I recommend it to anyone.

We save all of our special occasions for this restaurant. Why go anywhere else when you are on the waterfront, have a great, reasonably priced menu, and excellent service......all in one location. And did I mention it's easy to get to? A winner, for sure!

Recently visited this restaurant for dinner. Casual, lovely setting, especially outside. Noise level is above average inside. Food quality is very good. The native loaded chili and corn muffins were very good. Side of carrot ribbons (fried) were ok. Nice variety of drinks. Genuinely Friendly and professional staff. Convenient valet parking.

This is a review of Eddie V's lounge. The pull of live music was the draw. However, the noise is so loud, you could barely hear them. Their set list seemed good. Arrived on a Friday night at 7:30 without reservation intending to sit in the bar area. Unknown to us was that unlike most bars, the tables in the bar are not on a first-come basis, they need to be reserved ahead of time. Really? Reservations in a bar? Ok, we can sit at the bar. Drinks were creative but a tad pricey at $15 for a martini-type drink. Still ok prepared to pay for atmosphere. What was off-putting was a rather odd and cold atmosphere, and condescending service. Also be prepared for the clientele. Good people watching here; lots of bad cosmetic surgery some very alarmingly displayed. A dress code for ladies about how much you can flash before "classy" becomes "trashy" is clearly needed. Overall, overpriced, too bright and to noisy with the wrong clientele to be the classy lounge it wants to be. This could be a great, intimate lounge with some better acoustics (like a wall between it and the bar) and a less glittery atmosphere because the music seemed very good.

Authentic Peruvian Fusion Cuisine
Reviewed By Paula J
Was looking for a new (non franchise) restaurant and met a friend here for lunch. Our server - Patricia - was the best! Not familiar with Peruvian food she helpfully answered questions and made suggestions as well as provided excellent service throughout our lunch experience. The food was delicious and plentiful. Looking forward to returning with my hubby for dinner!

4 of us went out on a Saturday night and really enjoyed ourselves. We had ceviche whichbwas excellent. All the dishes were very good. On the weekends tbeybhave live music and that made for a great night out. I definitely recommend this place. It feels like a local spot, with great food and friendly service. All in all, 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, 3 desserts, bottle of wine and several other drinks, Bill was $150. Five it a try.
