Dinner for 4 on a Tuesday night was great. We had a reservation for 7pm, arrived about 530p, figured we would have a drink at the bar for a while before sitting for dinner but the bar was jammed, no seats available so we went to front desk and they graciously arranged a beautiful water view table for us. When we said we weren't in a hurry and wanted to just enjoy our drinks for a while before ordering dinner, our server (Brianna) was very accommodating and made a great suggestion for ordering an appetizer platter which we could nibble while we sipped our drinks. We got a delightful, tasty bruschetta combo with numerous tidbits and quantity sufficient for the 4 of us, a real treat. Our dinners (3 steaks and a salmon) were great, quite pricey, but well prepared and very tasty. Terrific experience overall.Thank you so much for your golden review. We really appreciate your feedback and we hope to see you again soon. -GN

This cozy corner is the first bistro-style restaurant you encounter after stepping off the escalator on the third level of the Playground Pier building along Atlantic Cityâs boardwalk. In addition to the round-the-bar seating, one can choose to sit in any of the comfortable cushioned chairs along the windows which offer a fine southern view of the beach, boardwalk and casino hotels. After a cordial greeting by Amanda, who took me to my seating, Amy came over to ask if I wished anything to drink. After taking my request, she left to allow me a few moments to peruse the menu. During my stay Amy was courteously attentive yet did not hover. On this visit I started off with their tasty Miso Soup. I then selected a bottle of Ozeki â Nigori sake, a full-bodied unfiltered (aka cloudy) sake to accompany my Sushi and Sashimi order which included Ahi tuna, seared tuna (delectably spicy), white tuna, salmon, mackerel yellowtail, crabstick and shrimp. The food presentation was pleasing to the eye â it made me think of a color palette, waiting to be dipped into. One extra touch was the pickled shallots which delighted my taste buds by the delicacy of the flavor and fine texture. Frankly, I enjoyed it so much, I ordered seconds! The fine edges of the sliced fresh seafood and smooth texture immediately let me know the Itamae* had his own personal set of knives. I soon discovered John has been preparing sushi and sashimi for over 18 years and has quick, steady hands while deftly slicing the fish, eel and octopus for the plate. Iâm pleased to recommend Souzai Sushi & Sake for those seeking a bit of tasty, enjoyable R&R. My only suggestion is for management: check the window seatsâ cushions more often for replacement or washing as the steady flow of diners off the boardwalk tend to scuff them up, increasing wear and tear. * Itamae = sushi chef. In the western world, the alternate term of "sushi chef" is popularly used. In Japan, becoming an itamae of sushi requires years of training and apprenticeship.

Went for dinner. I called ahead and was told there was no wait. I was staying at the Tropicana so we came right down from the room. We asked to sit inside verse outside. Two employees at the hostess station and they both seemed clueless. Then two more couples came in after us and I thought their head was going to explode. We were seated after about 5-10 minutes. Place had a lot of open seating so I don't understand what the hold up was. I asked for kids menu and I was told they don't have one but they can make grilled cheese sandwich for kids. So were ordered the two grilled cheese sandwiches and food for us. This place is a la carte. Nothing comes with any sides. Nothing exciting here, plain bar food.

A terrific seafood restaurant in the ground level of Bally's Park Place.Owned and operated by the family which established Atlantic City's finest seafood restaurant back in the 1800s, the family which currently owns Atlantic City's finest restaurant, Harry's is casual seafood dining. Oysters, clams, shrimp, lobster, crab . . . you name it, they've got it; and it's all fresh and delicious. For lunch I had a 1 lb lobster, and a salad. Both fresh and delicious.For dinner I had 1/2 portion of their cold seafood sampler . . . 3 oysters, 3 clams, 2 shrimp, 1/2 lobster and ceviche, and a side order of linguini. Absolutely delicious, all of it!And did I mention the horse radish? If you love horse radish like I do, I'll tell you now, this is the real deal! You have been warned!A really great seafood restaurant. And an quiet oasis to get out of the noise and activity of the casino environment. This place is a big win.

Very good service. I would choose a different salad next time. had the highly recommended ugly tomato (what they call it) and I found the crispy shallots to be a bit too much. Perhaps adding some gem leaves to the plate would have balanced out the acidity. Ordered the half roasted duck which was expertly prepared. More of a winter dish so my fault for selecting it. Great cocktails

We heard so many good things about this place that we decided to check it out. The Happy Hour was fantastic! Our drinks (martini and an Aperol Spritz) were sooo good. Crab and corn chowder was hot and delicious. The oysters were so cold and fresh. The calamari was crisp and tender. The crab cakes were very tasty and the lobster Mac and cheese was amazing. Everything was beautifully plated. Service was friendly and attentive. Loved sitting at the piano bar. Even the piano player was great! What a delightful way to start the evening! Canât wait to go back. So good to see that this famous restaurant is not resting on its laurels. â¤ï¸
2. Knife & Fork Inn

The Knife & Fork, which I last visited about 50 years ago, continues to have a wonderful ambience as well as remarkable longevity in a tough business. However, our meal was disappointing. It could have been excellent but missed the mark in important ways. The highlight was a wonderful lobster bisque with deep flavor and color and generous bits of lobster. Couldn't have been better. The low point was the generic supermarket quality bread. In between was our entrees. The lamb lollipop chops and halibut seemed to be of excellent quality and were very ample in their portions (indeed too ample for us). However, both were sadly overlooked to the degree that we ate relatively little of them. We did not want to send them back and have to wait for a second try, but I was surprised that our waiter carried away half full plates without asking whether something was wrong in a restaurant of this stature. Let this be a warning to emphasize how you want your food cooked.
