You get 2 nice sized pieces of chicken definitely fills you up. The bolognese sauce was incredible. Lots of meat and lots of pasta. Very garlicky which I love. Got it with angel hair pasta which was a great choice as well. The cappuccino and biscotti was amazing as well. Everything just tasted so fresh. Service was awesome, they were on point.

This might be my new favorite restaurant in Atlantic City!…read more Me and my husband made a last minute trip to AC for my birthday and I couldn't get a reservation in time for my favorite restaurant. I found this place and tried to make a reservation. It did take awhile to get through, I think they answered when I called like 10 or 11:00 on a Monday morning. I was happy I got a decent time though, I asked for 7:30 and they gave me 8:00. Once we got to AC I found out they had fireworks at 9:00. So I was like I don't know what to do. Cause I love fireworks I always try to see them when I can . But I didn't want to give up my reservation either , I was looking forward to it. So I tried calling every 5 minutes trying to get through to see if i could get an earlier reservation, even if we have to eat at like 4:30. I couldn't ready anyone though. So we were plotting what we were going to do, maybe tell them we wanted to eat fast, get our food to go? I was going to run out the back and try to catch them. I said let's just go to the restaurant earlier and try to get a table. We explained when we got there and they were packed , but they were very accommodating and gave us a table right by the window. I was happy that now we could relax and enjoy our meal and get drinks and an appetizer. We got the meatball appetizer because my husband always likes to get that. It was very good , prob one of the best meatballs I have ever had. I got the seafood pasta which was delicious. great flavor , the seafood was cooked perfectly, and a generous amount too. I was stuffed but ate everything. my husband got the veal rollatini which he really enjoyed also. The cocktails were great as well. We got dessert Togo because we were stuffed but really wanted it. The chocolate chip cheesecake was delicious. I think we got the tiramisu too which was ok but a little watery. I don't know if we'll be back in AC anytime soon, but if we do I would definitely want to come back!

Very friendly and her knowledge of the menu was superb. My wife had the meatloaf and she loved it. She said the flavor was on point, you know I had to get A taste and she was right that meatloaf was really good. I had the French Onion soup and that soup was amazing. The flavors the used went well together. They use a four cheese blend for the French Onion soup and it is good. Now on to this pork chop, I have to say certified FIRE , that pork chop was juicy, and had awesome flavor. The brown sugar apples went well together with the chop. I had a great experience here and we will go back to try other dishes. Now the location is hard to find at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, NJ. But when you get there you will not be disappointed.

Overlooks the beach and ocean. It's off the beaten path so you have to take the elevators to Chelsea's tower and walk over from there. Unless you're staying at Chelsea Tower.

Decent sized seating area and when the weather permits, there's also outdoor seating. The service was good but I was a little underwhelmed with the prime rib. That happened to be the special that night so not sure if that was a coincidence that it wasn't that good. I also had the lobster bisque which was ok as well. I'm going to try to come back next time i am able but I was a little disappointed first time around.

The fresh seafood shone, but the crab cake stole the show: an exorbitant bounty of sweet lump crab, barely bound, golden and flawless. Save room for dessert. The crème brûlée indulges with a crispy peanut tuile, and the berries with cream are far more thrilling than its name suggests. A notch above--history, heart, and exceptional plates. Return visits guaranteed.

They have a nice selection of steaks and seafood on their menu. Their happy hour usually consists less surf and more turf dishes, compared to their sister restaurants. We've enjoyed items, such as, duck confit and a seafood sampler, and these items never disappointed us. Their happy hour deals are usually for the food, but we still like the enjoy a few cocktails with our meal. I've had a bees knee and an old fashion and they were very enjoyable. We've been there for dinner and I love their Lobster Thermidor. It's so delicious, creamy and so unique. A little pricy but a must try. The restaurant gives off a romantic dining experience. They have a decent amount seating, however, spacing and seats are very limited for happy hour. It's available only by the bar and it doesn't hold a lot of people. I also recommend getting there a little early to line up for the happy hour. It can fill up fast. They used to allow people to sit on the high top tables, but they may have stopped that. The staff have always been friendly. They have a parking lot available for patrons. Definitely check this place out!

I remember I tried to make a resy for the Thursday before LDW, and they were completely booked by 11am. Though, my aunt and uncle's hot tip is to just go snag some seats at the bar. For a party of 2 I'm sure it's worth the try. This cozy little spot is perfect for a date night. You are greeted with live piano music and perfectly dimmed light. The atmosphere is way more sophisticated than I was imagining- in a great way! Cocktails: we dined here the week of Thanksgiving and I'm still talking about the Farm Shrub Spritz: Lillet Blanc, Seasonal Farm Fruit + White Balsamic Shrub, Prosecco, Mint. I know, I know...it's super interesting combo...but listen- THE BALSAMIC IS THE STAR IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! Sweet and tangy and perfectly complemented the food we ordered. I don't even remember what J got, but he liked it. LOL For appetizer we went with the burrata which was accompanied by melted plum tomatoes and sweet and roasted long hots, and some toasted bread. I was really not sure how I felt about this pairing but oh my goodness- a party in my mouth! I loved it. I went with the filet as my entree which came with marsala demi glaze, mashed potatoes, and grilled mushroom. Listen, not the best steak I've ever had, but it was very good. The sauce certainly enhanced the experience. J went with the duck. OMG!!!! I don't regret not ordering this, but it was delectable. The duck was so tender, the sun-dried cherry and orange reduction was a perfect sweetness, and I was especially impressed with the sides of bacon braised cabbage and sweet potato and butternut squash galette- aka cheesy sweet potato and butternut squash. To end the night, I got the banana cream pie- because DUH! And J went with the creme brûlée. I'm not going to deduct stars, but the service got extra slow towards the end even though the place completely cleared out. Regardless, I definitely would like to return (off season).

An empty parking lot and only two diners in a large dining area is never a good sign but the server was "friendly" (Fitting for a location that once housed a Friendly's ice cream restaurant.). There were no signs of the former occupant and the dining area is very appealing with a sense of being upscale, which conflicted with my hopes of a reasonably priced lunch menu. In fact there is no lunch menu and the prices sort of jump at your eyes because they are so much more appropriate for an evening out. Perhaps the empty dining room fills up with patrons later in the day. So, I went with Pho. Flank steak, vermicelli rice noodles, and please all the veggies (Why ask?). My very sufficient bowl arrived quickly with the side plate of Thai basil, lime, and bean sprouts. I went looking for the bottles of hoisin and sriccha but my server pointed to the small white bowl with red and brown colors ... ahh no bottles, which at first I was disappointed in not having them accessible to me but this is upscale dining and those table bottled always have a sense of community to them. I asked for more sriccha and it was delivered. The beef pho base was good the flank steak arrived cooked rather than rare and my lunch satisfied me except I was hoping for something more or different and closer to street food because it was lunch time Heck the server on a sunny day was friendly and you can't go wrong with that
