Our visit to Ocean City would not be the same without a visit to The Deauville Inn!! It can get very crowded, but we like sitting at the bar or outside anyway!! Delicious food of all kinds, fabulous, cocktails, and beer, selection, and even better staff! My husband's family has been coming to Ocean City for well over 50+ years, and I'm excited to continue to experience all the wonderful things Deauville Inn has to offer!! read more

Deauville Inn - Absolutely the best!! - Seafood Near Me - Strathmere, New Jersey

Wedding food was atrocious! They served "beef" that was cheap and unrecognizable with miniature chicken thighs that were tasteless and overcooked. Every water on the table when we got there had gnats in it. They had the hors d'oeuvres out before the ceremony was over and the place was full of gnats and the food was not covered. They had a wagon with boxes of desserts for the dessert table when they should've had those desserts on trays and brought out .... Classless. read more

The Deauville has always been a favorite for many many years now. You can't beat the ambience. Off season is so nice without the crowds. This time I tried the hot lobster roll and it was amazing! The fried shrimp ap was delicious and so was the cheese steak. read more

First time doing a full sit down dinner/lunch here. It was great! As far as food goes - Nothing spectacular, nothing bad. Lobster hush puppies were good, little too fried for me, and the oysters tasted fresh. The Caesar salad was a little fishy, it came with huge anchovies on top, which no one ever wants... HOWEVER, the vibes here are always spot on. Orange crush, pina coladas or a bucket of cold beer, all pair perfectly with the beach bar, and a sunset. Seriously a great happy hour spot for a drink, warm weather and good vibes read more

I got there and had to wait a hour while many seats were open. The place looked nice but was extremely dark. I couldn't see anything. The seating was nice. The food was alright but I've had better. Fry's were mid. I also had muscles and they were so good. read more

Deauville Inn - Crab cake sandwich, I've had better fries - Seafood Near Me - Strathmere, New Jersey

I'm sorry good people of Maine, but this was absolutely the BEST lobster roll I've ever had! I stopped by after a day at the beach starving and was immediately greeted by a super sweet hostess and given a table with a great view of the water. My server was top notch. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Lots of families and groups having a lovely lunch. Lively crowd with lots of convo and music playing, but not loud/obnoxious. Great drinks on the menu but I just opted for a local IPA. Absolutely perfect post-beach meal. (Yes the price was a little much but I promise it was worth each and every dollar) Huge pieces of lobster, perfectly toasted thick bread. Even the dang chips weee perfectly crisp and tasty. I went with the "Strathmere roll" but I can't wait to go back and try the New England with the warm lobster. So happy I FINALLY found a place at the shore to get my lobster roll fix lol read more

We had reservations for a party of 6 in the dining room. We were seated promptly. Our waitress arrived quickly and was very pleasant. We started with calamari as well as kielbasa. Both appetizers were very good. The dinners were great as well. Overall, nice place. The prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area (not cheap but it is a beach town). We will be going back for sure. read more

Another year goes by as our family has now stayed in Sea Isle City for at least 30 years . My wife and I like to escape the craziness of the beachhouse and go out at least 1 night during the week and get away from the kids . I was pissed last time about the reservation charge that I felt was a rip but everyone at the beach does it . We always debate and debate where to go ....we have been burnt before going to tourist trap after tourist trap . Restaurants like Doc Pancake house that actually charges for WATER or italian restaurants that dont bring bread out or make their own bread to save money , The Deauville in does drinks and food right . They dont up charge you. I had the spatchcocked hen and my wife had scallops. El vino did flow . read more

First visit here and was here for dinner. This is a big place and there was a long wait to eat outside, so we wound up eating inside. Ordered a strawberry daiquiri to start with and was one of the better ones I've had in awhile, I enjoyed it so much, I wound up ordering another one later in my meal. I went went the crab cake sandwich which was very good. Service was very attentive throughout our meal. Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

We had a great time and awesome service! My son got the filet and loved it, along with the mango daiquiri. My husband had the seafood boil and it was very good. I hat the crab BLT. For the atmosphere and view, I would highly recommend. read more

Easily one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The Bartender was our server and forgot about us. Calamari was undercooked. Lobster roll was 31 dollars, did not have nearly enough. Finished eating the lobster in 3 bites, bread was rock solid. Burger was ordered medium- came out totally rare. Not once did the bartender or manager come to check in on us. Place used to be great, will never be back. Incredibly overpriced, horrible quality. read more

Waiting 45 min after a reservation. Waited another hour and 20 to get food. Excuse was it's so busy. It's a restaurant that should be used to crowds. Not worth it. read more

Had a friend recommend this restaurant and was very excited bc the menu looked great online. When we arrived we were told that they had just switched the menu and many of the options we were hoping to enjoy were not available. The filet was dry and the crab cake didn't have much taste. The waitress Casey was wonderful. After dinner we went to the outside bar to grab a drink and no one waited on us for over 5 minutes while they stood around and chatted behind the bar. One of the few options open in the off-season near Sea Isle so that is probably why it is busy. read more

Although I have been there many times- and the atmosphere is electric-my son and daughter-in-law had a terrible experience with the food. They both had grilled octopus and were very sick after eating it with abdominal pain and diarrhea. They did not have anything else, but that and they were both sick within two hours after eating it. They also only had one drink a piece. Be careful what you order. read more

The atmosphere and service is good, and honestly what is giving this rating an additional star....the food, is a different story entirely. The location of the restaurant is probably convenient for those staying on the north side of Sea Isle and many staying in Ocean City (being as it's a dry town). There is plenty of parking and ample seating outside and inside along the back bay. The interior seemed stuffy but that was only from walking through to use the restroom...uncomfortably silent. The staff from when you are seated to exiting are fairly pleasant. They make an effort to be friendly but, just as many places today, they are stretched thin. Simple table maintenance doesn't exist so you're piling plates up as you go. Now on to the food, because let's be honest, we're here because we're visiting the shore. While the location of the restaurant is nice, it's not necessary since most people are probably returning to their houses much closer to the beach. Fist off, most of the restaurants along the shore are mediocre, so you certainly should temper expectations wherever you choose. Be forewarned, prices here are high, from apps to drinks to meals they are what I would expect to pay in NYC or Philadelphia for "quality" food. We started with a hot dog for our four year old (and a glass of white milk...more on this) and the Tuna Cru and Steamed Clams. The tuna came out and was slightly different than the menu description of: raw tuna, melon, lime, radishes, sesame seed, espelette pepper. It was sitting on top of a white sauce that I had the suspicion was mayonnaise based and upon tasting confirmed that. The dish would've been much better had it not been for this overpowering sauce. But all in all a raw dish that only required serving, not manipulation of the food. The clams, simple right? You would think. They are typically our go to on the shore because there isn't much that can screw them up. Steam them and serve with butter. But in this case, something seemed off, not the clams, they were fine. But the butter, it was flavorless and very running....almost watery. Not good. Our sons hot dog came with cold fries but that's what it is. The hot dog was large so the $10 price tag didn't seem to far from expectation but they did charge us for the milk. Not a major issue but $3 for a kids milk...come on, bump the price of the meal and just include it. Our entrees. The menu has the expected fare of shore food but after our disappointing appetizers I opted for the lobster roll; if nothing else, at least it's lobster and tastes good no matter what. My wife ordered the broiled scallops and for some reason decided to add the Jersey Corn Succotash to her dish. The lobster roll came out with chips and looked decent. The chips would've been the standout of the meal had they all been cooked, but sadly there were many mixed in that were not fully fried and soggy. The lobster roll had a lot of mayo, which I could taste tarragon in, not horrible but not the best. The roll it was on is good, but it should be as some of the best rolls in the country are from this state. The menu actually claimed it was a brioche roll but I was happy in this case the food didn't match the description. There were supposed to be "summer truffles" somewhere on this but I didn't expect those to begin with. Even with the steep price tag of nearly $30 for the lobster roll, based upon the pricing they use here that wouldn't come close to allowing real truffles at all. All in all, the roll was good and the lobster meat was decent. My wife's on the other hand was just not good. The scallops were broiled to death and to add insult to injury they were so different in size that some were cooked to rubber long before the rest. The $9 add-on Succotash was a mess and flavorless. And their "crisp potatoes" were c-size (or the size of new potatoes), cooked until the skin was supposed to be crispy. These things honestly tasted like they were leftover from a catering event and reheated. They advertise catering events in the restaurant and that is what they are, a catering facility that does mediocre food. The price tag of $200 for the lunch was nowhere near worth it and I have no issue paying for a decent meal. This just wasn't it. I would not recommend even stopping. read more

The service and the view are what keep us coming back. The staff are always quick and friendly. The tables on the bay have a great view and breeze. The happy hour $17.99 snow crab legs were delicious. We also had the house made chips and let me tell you.. the bowl is MASSIVE. We ate so many chips and still couldn't finish it. They come with a dill dip that is perfect for the crunchy kettle chips. Would definitely recommend! read more

Service great. We were promised better seating 10 min. before arrival. Ate outside a huge umbrellas over a picnic table. Umbrella not attached and we had to hold in place. Food much less than impressive. In fact awful. Food served in cardboard boxes w/cheap plastic forks. They only serve bar food., no entrees. Green biting flies & seagulls stealing food. VERY overpriced on everything. 6 adults & 5 kids. 4 soft drinks & 4 wine, 2 mix drinks. Mixed drinks $18 for each 10 oz plastic cup & wine $18 for a 6 oz plastic cup. Fast food with a liquor license. Total $575.++ read more

I enjoyed the oysters very much. They were fresh, meaty and delicious. The French onion soup was also enjoyable and not overly salty. Main complaint of the table was the food came out lukewarm. The mussels were very small and had a flavor that was displeasing to many people at the table. The hush puppies were extremely salty and you couldn't tell that they were crab plus the sweet butter was an odd combination. The place was nicely decorated and the setting sun was beautiful but I don't think I'll be back read more

The appetizers and drinks we had were solid. We waited an hour and never got our food. When approached for answers the manager who's name may or may not be John was very aggressive telling my disabled father that we needed to have patience after he told him he couldn't sit for hours on end. The managers aggression never got better as he continued to escalate the situation which is the most insane. We left without ever getting our food and a $200 bill for our drinks and apps which obviously at least a round should've been compensated as a former restaurant manager. It was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. The "manager" looked like a guy walking into a bar on steroids looking for a fight. I'm born and raised in ocean city and my extended family lives in sea isle and none of us will be back. Their step sister restaurant yesterdays has way better service and management so I suggest you skip deauville and frequent yesterdays. read more

Nice place. Did a beautiful job reading the place. Food is overall very good but have had some bad meals too. In my opinion overpriced, and can have a long wait to be seated. read more

We went here for their "Sunday Funday" this past weekend. We waited in line for about 15 minutes to get in since it was so crowded. Once we got in there was the beach section to sit or sand on where the DJ was and the top deck with another bar. We ordered drinks and talked with our friends for hours. We had a lot of fun! The drinks were reasonably priced as well at $14-16. We would come back again if we are in the area! read more

I wish they had a more varied menu. But it's such a great place to see the sunset. We got chicken tenders (a bit overdone), and a burger (nice) with fries (nice). The deauville spritz was yummy as was the strawberry frosé. They had locals Ludlam Island, cape May and slack tide breweries on tap which I appreciate. Service was decent if a bit slow (but hey a Friday night in July - we were thrilled to find parking right out front!!). It was packed. Might go back during the week when it's less crazy (although maybe that's not a thing in summer!!). read more

The food was okay. The wings were good as was the onion soup. My husband had to send his cheesesteak back because there was no cheese. But the piece de resistance might be the $3 charge for rocks for my drink. I certainly wasn't told about it. read more

The view of the sunset cannot be better! It is a very warm, bustling and local fun beach vibe at deauville inn. Two friends who live nearby recommended it. I would come for the view and a drink alone. The servive is warm and kind. I got the wings which were yummy and mashed potatoes which were super buttery and well seasoned. My husband's clams were way too salty almost ineatable so next time we will stick to the drinks appetizers and view! Definitely expensive, food is ok, drinks and service and location and ambiance can't be beat! read more

Just not good for me it was a good place to chill but the things inside the store... WHEW!! food was cool service was alright

I grew up going to strathmere and the deuville has always been the best. Seeing it now that I'm all grown up and it's soooo different and there's so much extra spots! And now people travel from different shore towns to go (which is lowkey sad cuz strathmere used to be the best little secret but it's ok i love to see them popping off now) but it was so cool and pretty and always packed now apparently read more

Overall the vibe of the Deauville is great. We just went for drinks and enjoyed lounging on the picnic tables watching the sunset. However, you are definitely paying for this since the drinks and food is way over priced. For being so crowded, surprusingly the service was pretty fast. Worth a visit but there are better places to stay for dinner in the area. read more

We have been here before, but it's been 2+ years and the menu has changed significantly. The food was horrible. The calamari was extremely chewy like bubblegum. All of the food had absolutely no taste and it was cold. We had to beg for refills. Way overpriced. McDonald's would have been a better option. Plus when we got the check, there was no pen to sign said check. Would give zero stars if that were an option. read more

Returned here for another lunch. This time we had a lobster roll, cheeseburger and wedge salad. Everything was very good and this carnivore really enjoyed the salad. Food is plentiful and you won't leave hungry. Jen was such a pleasure as our server and even gave us a lesson on some of the local wildlife. She's an asset! The outdoor bar area is now enclosed and large heaters. Love that. read more

I had high hopes for our meal but sadly, it wasn't to be. I thought the interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated with a great location. Our food was served lukewarm as if it had sat quite awhile before being served. Unfortunately, my mussels were not great quality. Although, it was a hefty portion, the mussels meat was quite tiny and did not have great flavor despite the broth. The crab hush puppies were bland other than the overwhelming Old Bay seasoning. The seafood platter seemed to have decent flavor but the lukewarm temperature was off putting. Drinks were strong which was the only highlight of the meal. Not sure I can recommend this for the prices we paid for our meals. read more

Who can pass on a roll?! Pictured is Deauville Inn's lobster roll. The old bay crumb hits the palette with the flavor, paired perfectly with a super soft brioche bun it's perf I've visited the Deauville several times and I have yet to be disappointed. Parking: This is contingent upon the season. During the summer months, parking can be difficult. Deauville does have a parking lot for patrons but it can easily become filled during the busy months. Adjacent from Deauville in, street parking is available. Staff: Staff was super nice when I arrived. I imagine their bartenders pull, as several of them serviced myself and the friends who I was with. I've worked in the service industry for a long time so staff drinking on the job is to no surprise for me. The bartender who assisted as, although intoxicated, was very personable, attentive, and kind! read more
