    Great dinner with an unbeatable view! I made my reservation for Chef Mike's two months before we dined here. It's extremely had to get a reservation so it was important to try to get a decent time. Score: we got a 7pm reservation! We arrived right on time and were swiftly seated indoors to a stunning view of the water. Last year, we dined outside, but it was extremely windy. I'm so glad we ate inside this year. Years ago (I don't think they do it anymore since the pandemic), they offered peppered bacon at the bar to snack on while we waited for our table. We noticed we can now get the bacon as an appetizer, so that's what we started with. The bacon was decent, nothing special and especially not worth $9. The bread was fine, nothing great, either. For my entree, I got a filet mignon but subbed the potatoes for fries. I noticed the lamb came with a delicious sauce and the waitress happily brought it out for my meal. My husband had the lamb chops but subbed the spinach for asparagus. My steak was delicious. The sauce was fine but I wouldn't get it next time. Fries were phenomenal. The asparagus was a hit or miss. My husband enjoyed his lamb chops but it was definitely cooked more medium than medium-rare. If you're looking for a restaurant with a beautiful view of the water, Chef Mike's is your place!

    Went here last Saturday night for my girlfriend's birthday, ocean view table, warmly greeted by the lovely hostess, our server Christin could not have been better! The food of course was spectacular, I had the Chop salad, Jessica had the salad with strawberries, amazing. Raspberry martini and the Napa Cab were delightful. She had the filet mignon cooked perfectly, they made me Gemelli pasta with spinach and cream sauce, amazing. Chocolate molten cake with ice cream and a heavy pour on the Gran Mariner, the B52 after dinner drink was also something else. Can't wait to return!

    Ambience  outstanding, cant beat the view. Food top notch ,we will be back

    First off this Restaurant is right on the beach in seaside park,enough said for ambience. Food if you like seafood is topnotch , the whole menu from reef and beef to pork chop all delicious. Hot app is outstanding... Been 4 times in 2 months our new favorite in the area.. Service is good we even ate at the bar once because we came with no reservations which are definitely needed. It can get loud at times but all in all with the food ,view and service. Definitely recommend Mikes . We will be Back.

    After noticing that the Central Jersey Trinity of Yelp Elitists, Jennifer D, Jennifer T and Doug D have all positively reviewed the restaurant, we tried Chef Mike's Atlantic Bar and Grill the other night. It is located on 24th St., by the dunes to the beach. Due to the nearby hotel, street parking is difficult to achieve and must be impossible at peak season. We followed the walkway to the upper deck and follow the signs to the entrance. We were seated in their dining room, which has windows overlooking the dunes and the sea. Our server took our drink orders and advised us of the specials. We shared the calamari appetizer. It was tender with a touch of heat and sweetness from the delicious sauce. Perhaps the best calamari we've ever had. For entrées we had the French Chicken Breasts, which are very good, the Haddock, special was encrusted with pistachios was excellent, and the horseradish crusted Chilean Seabass, which was also tender and excellent. The desserts were also delicious. We had the Key Lime Pie, the Crème Brûlée and the Cinnamon Donuts with dipping sauces. The service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. The atmosphere was low key considering that it was a Sunday evening. We enjoyed Chef Mike's very much and give it our best recommendation.

    Perfect summer place

    Is there nightlife here?

    If you're looking for a band or DJ, the answer is no. This is an upscale restaurant located on the beach in South Seaside Park. Food is amazing; cocktails are outstanding. Great staff and great atmosphere.

    I came here to relive television history…read more For those who are unacquainted with the arrest heard around the world - Snooki got detained on the beach and was carted away into a Tom's River police car right outside this fine establishment. I briefly remember seeing a sign for a "Jersey Shore Cheesesteak" during the arrest scene and I was immediately intrigued. What is a "Shore Steak" and how would it measure up to its older, more mature, and more famous Philly analogue. For those who haven't been - this is what a Jersey Shore cheesesteak is like. Imagine a hybrid pita-esque pocket filled to the brim with tender beef, perfectly spiced onions and peppers (from a can of course!! You can't have it any other way) and these delicious, crunchy balls filled with sharp cheddar cheese. This is everything a sandwich is supposed to be. I don't care if you have high cholesterol - you NEED this, even if it may kill you. In a way, Snooki being arrested was a blessing because it led me to this place. Everytime I'm in seaside (which is usually once every 3 years) I will be here.

    As Boardwalk food goes - and not having the patience to the neighbor across the street "Steaks…read moreUnlimited" I thought I would try out The Original Steaks. There is some debate as to who is the original in Seaside but regardless, I thought I'd give the competition a try. Keeping it simple with Cheesesteak all the way included potatoes (Italian Style). Prices are same as everyone else in the area. Steak itself was very good, bread fresh, peppers & onions not overcooked and sliced provolone was used for cheese. Sodas didn't bog you down with ice and the young guy behind the counter even offered me a refill on the Soda That is definitely a 1st. In short was it a "GREAT" cheesesteak no, but it was as good if not better than Steaks Unlimited and other boardwalk stops except for my go to "MIDWAY". Solid stop here!

    Lobster Lounge - Lobster Cobb salad was more than enough food. It was well seasoned and very meaty. Good price.

    I have crab legs my wife has beef tips and we had the burrata salad mix and basically was all good…read more Ive noticed a lot of people come here. This place brought back such memories 50 years ago was the last time i was here with my parents i had the salisbury steak my dad had t bone and my mom too. Yes i have such a great memory when it comes to beautiful times with people i love the most. New owners new restaurants new menu. I did relive my memeries But overall the food is good And the service is excellent Nicolette our waitress was such a lovely wonderful young lady who made our dining experience really delightful and we will definitely return. Thank you so much to our waitress.i always have emphasized how important it is to have. Good front house staff and this place has is. Our waitress made us felt so welcomed and very attentive. I really was happy. You can have great food but without a great staff you dont have nothing. This staff is great. I know my stuff ive been a head chef for over 30 years and a restaurant consultant and i recommend this place i think they deserve it.but the crab seem to have a old frozen taste something was off but it was ok. and the cake come on that pre-boxed frozen chocolate cake. I dont like to be taken by no-one. But i did have a nice time thank you

    Probably the best restaurant I went to in Seaside Heights (and overall one of the better…read morerestaurants on the boardwalk). Lobster Lounge is a bi-level seafood restaurant with the top level overlooking the water. We ordered oysters, coconut shrimp, and a giant pretzel to start and I ordered a cold lobster roll. Pretty decent food - I think the apps were the star of the show here. Our waitress, I forgot her name, was super sweet and accommodating. They have high chairs for children and stickers were given to the kids at my table. Would recommend if you're visiting the Jersey Shore!
