Made reservation day of our visit. My first inquiry resulted in a we are full tonight but when I said we were disappointed they were full the reservation person said hold on a minute I think weâve had a cancellation, Iâll be right back to you. Sure enough we were able to get a reservation but advised that we would need to vacate the table after an hour and 45 minutes. No problem. Drinks and Bergerâs were very good and we were on our way in the allotted time. Thanks for fitting us in.

Came for lunch, their specials are very reasonable for the amount of food you get and the service is excellent. Have not come back in for dinner for awhile, I find the dinner the same size as the lunch but they charge so much more that I think they should adjust either the serving size or the price a little. I have also had the salmon over salad on another trip also was very good.

Cheerful greeting and prompt seating with boardwalk/ocean views from most tables (outdoor boardwalk option in season). Good bar. We shared a good New England chowder and ordered lunch from a tight menu with something for most tastes, from a frittata to burgers and salads. Enjoyable setting, food and service. Only few hundred feet south of the Asbury Convention Hall makes it a pick before or after events.

We came here to celebrate both of my parents' birthdays. Overall, they've got a big menu with lots of good choices, the service is friendly, and most importantly, the food was really good!We started with buttermilk fried calamari and corn nuggets - both were fried just right and flavorful. I'm a sucker for both of these foods and they delivered. For my main meal, I got the Cajun Chicken Caesar Salad. Also very tasty - the chicken was cooked right and there were no weird pieces like you sometimes get in salads. It was a good sized portion, and I left full. I also tried my Mom's "Cowboy Wrap", which was roast beef along sauteed mushrooms and onions - I thought it tasted really good as well. Everyone was happy with their meals.We had a great experience and I'd say we'll definitely be back.

I took out two dishes from this fine establishment - rigatoni bolognese and penne with vodka, add shrimp. I also ordered sauteed spinach. They gave me broccoli rabe by mistake. I didn't notice until I got home. The food was very good. The bill was...$64.88. Ouch.The other "problem" is that the portions were a little on the small side. There was plenty of sauce, just not enough macaroni. Macaroni is pretty inexpensive - please add a little more!

There is something for everyone on this menu. We were told that they have a new chef and he really came through for us. The Duck was excellent, I'm told the Scallops and Fish Special were great as well. If you tried this before and were disappointed, give it another go. You won't be disappointed!

Great deal for Wednesday night 3 course meal. Chef Bobby, has the best food in the state. If I lived a little closer I would eat there every week. Our relatives came to town for a visit and asked if we could go to Clementineâs again, they really enjoyed the food last time and last night was great again. Canât wait to go back.

Came here with my husband and toddler. Lots of great choices on the menu, but we decided on the smoked fish dip, octopus, and the crabcake sliders. Husband ordered the ultimate bloody mary, and I got the cava. The bloody mary is no joke! There really isn't much of a kids menu (chicken tenders, hot dog, or linguini pasta), so my toddler just munched on some pita from the dip appetizer. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pretty lively for a 5:30pm reservation! There is outdoor seating, but we sat inside since the tables were full.I'd go again and order the mussels. I saw many folks order that! The octopus and the sliders were a hit for us. The dip was just ok, and definitely not enough pita bread!

Went here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant on the Avon Boardwalk that serves a great seafood dinner! Most boardwalk restaurants offer typical boardwalk fast food, this is not one of the those places!First of all it is located inside the Avon Beach Pavilion on the boardwalk with absolutely great ocean and beach views!Second of all, the food is fantastic without being pretentious! We shared their sangria marinated watermelon salad which was refreshing and savoury!For my main course I had the flounder sole franchise with linguine, delicious!The staff is professional, friendly and attentive.Lastly, as mentioned earlier, the ambiance of the surf and beach adds tremendously to the experience!Only a couple minor dings. First it is a BYOB establishment and they do not advertise that on their website, but easily rectified by a quick drive to Bradley Beach for wine or beer. Secondly, they do not accept reservations. It is a first come a first come, first on the list for the restaurant: which is a testament to their service and food! Lastly, they are only a seasonal establishment opening on Motherâs Day and closing the week after Labour Day.Great experience and hope to return this weekend.Thumbs up!
