    I do not recommend and here is why. After waiting 15 minutes to get in, even though the place is not busy sitting waiting another 20 minutes to order our drinks asking for something 3 times to have our food come out an hour and 10 minutes later to have it taste like it was just bought from a jar or the pasta section in the grocery store. Waiter was terrible. Waitress on other side of the room was managing 6 tables. Three tables came in after us sat and got their food before us. Not happy at all

    If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Tonight, we had the Filet Special and the Chicken Special, both were phenomenal. I had the Filet A Poirve, which was a huge piece of filet cooked to a perfect medium, peppercorn sauce, jumbo lump crab, over pasta. It was amazing! The size of the filet was awesome, had to be 2" thick and 5" diameter, cooked perfect, not a bit of fat, very good. The sauce, the crab, all very good!! Wife had Chicken Santilli, which was lightly breaded chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, with a balsamic drizzle. She said it was very good and tasty as well. Saturday night, 1 hr wait, expected, went to the bar, friendly service there and during dinner, highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!! Plus, the complimentary house salad and rolls are delicious as well!

    Alfe's is legendary in Wildwood for reason, its consistently phenomenal food! Everything on the menu...delicious! I usually will go with the special catch of the day (hopefully grouper or halibut!) with the Jackie sauce over pasta! The longtime servers know what you want before you do!

    Always a delicious meal here and their drinks are very good too. Plus they offer a big menu so everyone can find something to enjoy. My favorite is the palate cleanser that comes with your dinner.

    Yo Alfe's! Nice job! I haven't been here for over 5 years, not because I was disappointed in the past, but that I just haven't had the pleasure. Yes, Alfe's decor is dated, but I'm not there looking for ideas on how I should remodel my home dining room. My wife and family enjoyed everything from start to finish. We really enjoyed the lemon sorbet they gave you before the entrees came out. The sorbet does a great job cleansing your pallet from the appetizers and home style salad. I've been there twice the summer, and our waitress and waiter were professional and friendly. They don't take reservations, so I recommend you get there when the doors open, unless you don't mind hanging out at the bar while you wait for a table.

    3.5 stars. Visited during Wildwood's September Restaurant Week to try their prix fixe menu. The establishment was pretty crowded. There was a 35 minute wait which we were allowed to do at their bar. The atmosphere was pretty interesting. It was dimly lit (but not terribly so), cozy, intimate, and had some Frank Sinatra music playing the entire time we were there. The prix fixe menu choices were pretty decent! I went with the Bruchetta and the Tour of Italy. My friend got the calamari, Seafood Marinara, and Dark Side of the Moon cake. There was also house salad and buttered bread as part of the meal. The Bruchetta was pretty decent, but the menu did mention having three slices of bread when there was only two. The house salad was very delicious, it could be an entree of its own. I loved the seafood marinara and the tour of Italy entrees. Both were pretty delicious! For dessert, got the ice cream and dark side of the moon cake. That dark side of the moon cake was sooo good. Overall I have to say it was a pretty good value for the $40 prix fixe menu! Very good sampler. I do have to dock some points however. We didn't realize it until after the fact, but we never got the lemon sorbet as part of the 3rd course. The service was also a little slow. I'm fine with a slower paced meal, but the entire visit ended up being nearly 3 hours (including that long wait in the beginning). I'd be down to try this place again, things are likely better outside of restaurant week. I would recommend giving this place a try. I liked everything I tasted. It would be a great place to bring a date because of the atmosphere. Also suggest not filling up on the bread like we did :)

    Martini flight for the win.

    I'd say this is a hidden gem, but only because there was no signage at the main entrance on New Jersey Ave. Seems there's construction or going on next door, hence the speakeasy vibe. It's a different story inside -- looks like everybody knows about Alfie's -- with the front bar area and cozy back rooms all fairly packed at 6:30 on a Friday night. Our group started with a flight of martinis (yea, a flight! Highly recommended) at the bar and then sat down to a rollicking dinner in one of the back rooms, complete with lots of house-made pasta and red sauce, warm loaves of bread, a wisecracking waiter and Sinatra classics blaring on the speaker system. In short, an awesome meal, with lots of good wine and colorful drinks... and half of us opting for the Chefs Tour of Italy sampler, all jammed with ravioli, gnocchi, stuffed shells, clams casino and I forget what else. Someone got the spicy Jacki house sauce on the side which we all used to dip the excellent bread into. Reasonable prices, solid drinks, a convivial atmosphere and a deep menu make Alfie's a keeper, especially for groups. Plus, they're open all year round.

    Best Italian in Wildwood, hands down. Fontina sausage, salad, Veal Jackie, raviolis, everything we've had is fantastic! Don't miss it.

    Hooked Up Seafood is a must stop for the freshest most delicious seafood served on picnic tables…read moredockside. I ordered a yellow fin sandwich, cooked medium rare, which was one of the featured fresh catch fish of the day. Without a doubt this this was probably the best seared yellowfin tuna I've ever eaten. The sear was perfect, the yellowfin was perfectly seasoned and the size was generous. The flavor and texture were perfect as well. I decided to eat it off the bread because I didn't want the the roll to mask the fresh caught yellowfin flavor. The sandwich was served with a heaping amount of tasty and crunchy housemaid chips. We ate while watching the sunset over the water. Wish we lived nearby, because we'd become regulars if we did. Well done Hooked Up!!

    What an amazing end to our trip. Loved that there was outdoor seating. You kind of just get in…read morewhere you fit in. Food is made to order and workers are absolutely the kindest. A young woman noticed my table was dirty, she came over to clean it and even offered to bring crayons and a coloring page for my toddler. Not only is the serving phenomenal but the food is as well. We had the chowder, shrimp and clams as starters. Lighthouse blush wine. My husband had blackened sword fish and I had the fish tacos. Everything was delicious. We even ordered some shirts to take back home. We will definitely make this a staple location when we are in the area. 10/10. It's rare to find good food and great service these days. I almost want to gatekeep but they deserve all of the recognition.
