We had a great dinner on a summer Sunday at Chives. With a varied menu from steaks to fish and…read morechicken plus the best homemade bread with chive butter, this place is a real winner! Our Irish server took great care of our group of 6 and worked with the bartender on our semi-customized cocktail request (whiskey sour). We loved the nightly salad special with arugula goat cheese and fresh raspberries as well as the chicken Marsala. The beef cheeks and spaetzel was hearty and good (but a bit much for summertime). Don't skip dessert-the talented pastry chef had several French delicacies on offer that were just too tempting to pass up. Reservations essential.

I'm adding in an update since it's been 4 years since my last review, but please also see my…read moreprevious two reviews. The food here continues to be wonderful. On this visit we shared the chicken and goat cheese wontons as a starter and they were delicious. We also enjoyed the complimentary bread with chive butter; it was so good, we took the rest of the loaf home as we didn't want it to go to waste. I had the special for my entree which was a crab encrusted cod. It was delicious and came with asparagus, roasted tomatoes and fingering potatoes. This was a hearty entree! The cocktail list is always creative and I enjoyed the Kentucky lavender lemonade which was a bourbon based drink. The lavender was present without being overpowering. Service was excellent and our server knew the menu well. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed with indoor and outdoor patio seating. If you have accessibility needs be sure to call as the main entrance involves stairs.

Don't make the mistake we did and get full on the appetizer!! However we have no regrets. Between the 2 items we got, both David and I enjoyed the General Tso's slightly more!! The pasta dish had a slight lemony flavor though which was nice and refreshing tasting. Other than the cheese curds, both our meals felt healthier than the typical version of them. Definitely check out Thyme if you are looking for some delish farm to table food.

The warm honey was so very good & I wish I could eat them over & over again. My husband had the 14oz NY strip steak & it was cooked to perfection. He loved the chimichurri sauce & yummy sides. I had the wild mushroom-leek risotto with shrimp which was bursting with flavor. Our waitress was so lovely & did a great job at making us feel taken care of on a busy night. She was very knowledgeable about the menu & GF options. We really appreciated her service. The restaurant is cozy & warm which makes you feel right at home!! Can't wait for another trip up north to visit Thyme!

There aren't too many places in Egg Harbor with amazing views that are open relatively late, so…read moreMezzanine was a lucky find! With fairy lights, long wooden tables, and a cute covered bar, the rooftop was beautiful and made for a perfect spot to enjoy the nice weather. The staff were super nice and patient, making guests feel right at home. For drinks, I tried the guava cocktail, which was very refreshing and not too sweet. It even came with beautiful edible flowers and a cute lipstick temporary tattoo! Our group split the cheese curds for an appetizer- while they could have been crispier, the cheese pull was very satisfying and they were served with the most delicious cherry dipping sauce. I opted for the ahi tuna tacos for the main event, which were great as a lighter option. The fish was surprisingly fresh and had the perfect sauce/topping ratio so that all the flavors came through. The watermelon served alongside was at peak sweetness as well. We left satisfied and with plenty of leftovers- if you're in the area and looking for a nice spot to enjoy the weather over tasty food, I recommend paying a visit!

I'm not even sure if they take them we just took our chances. They had seasonal fall drinks and the pumpkin espresso martini was fabulous. The apple spiced drink was not. I had the hot bacon salad and it was delicious. I love a hot bacon dressing. I also ordered the lobster bread bowl dish. While in theory it sounds delicious but it was somewhat challenging to eat. The bread was hard to pull apart/cut and it was just way too rich. I enjoyed what I did eat but it was only about a quarter of a $40 dish. This in a smaller portion would be an amazing appetizer. My friend had the Ragu and I wish I would have had that instead. It was really good. Another couple for the chicken and biscuits dish and they said it was awesome. Overall the experience with the view was really good and I'd come back.

If you are not local...they will not even acknowledge you exist. Not a hello, welcome or anything…read more We sat, waited a while & saw others come in (obvious locals), and welcomed. The waitress was eating with her hands as she rolled silverware on napkins. Bartender looked at us a few times, ignored us and kept talking to two women in the corner. I was shocked as it was 100% opposite from the great service at the sister restaurant the Alibi. The cook, Matt, at the Alibi suggested the Ogden club. Very disappointing. So much for small town friendliness, that doesn't exist here! Sad cause when we travel is when I leave yelp reviews and often even social media shout outs. I hope you see this and do better.

The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We ordered three dishes: the Norwegian herb-encrusted salmon over grilled root vegetables and quinoa, a New Orleans pasta with chicken, and a pistachio chicken open sandwich. Each one delivered. The salmon dish stood out for its char on the root vegetables and the quinoa, which had real texture and flavor. The dressing brought everything together in a way that felt considered, not just functional. The pistachio chicken sandwich was the sleeper hit. The chicken itself was exceptional, and it came paired with kettle chips that were better than any side chips have a right to be. The view of the water made the whole meal feel unhurried and easy, the kind of setting that makes food taste even better. Great food, attentive service, and a view that earns its mention. A complete experience.

The guacamole and dill dressing gave it a really nice flavor. My wife was happy with her Asparagus Quesadilla, it was full of flame roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, corn, black beans, wild rice, farmers cheese & spinach.

We came in for dinner and requested a table for 3. Since my mother has mobility issues, she can't do booths or tables with high top chairs. After being told we'd have to wait 15-20 minutes (which turned out to be less that 10 minutes), a woman was about to seat us and told us that they can't give us a table but could offer us a booth and put a chair in the middle of the aisle. No and that's not what we asked for. Your host staff need to learn the difference between a booth, a table, and a high top table. Also, sticking a chair in the walkway is really not an acceptable option. We ended up being seated at a huge half booth/half table in the far back corner big enough for a family of 8-10. Another customer's power scooter was also crammed behind us and when they needed to access the scooter, it was quite an ordeal to work around us, even when we tried to move a bit. Our server was a young man. Pleasant and professional. I had the cheese ravioli, my dad has the porcini rigatoni (I've had it before and it's very good!) and my mom had the mushroom ravioli. Her mushroom ravioli claimed to have a marscapone cream sauce. She ended up sending it back because it tasted like alfredo that had gone rancid. Our server was very nice about changing the dish out for the rigatoni and her replacement came out very quickly. We learned that they put brandy into all their pasta sauces and apparently the cook must have put too much in. Granted the alcohol burns off in the cooking process, but I think we'd have liked to know if liquor was being put into our food, especially when it's not mentioned on the menu. I hope they don't use the same practices on their kids entrees. Overall, I've never really had much of an issue with the food here, but I feel like everytime we come to Sonny's, there's something that goes wrong. Oh well, at least I got 4 jars of marinara sauce for $10 due to their surplus sale by the host station! ;)
