    Pasta fagioli soup
    Michelle S.

    It was decorated so nicely for Christmas!! The server was so kind but the service was so slow. Other tables were being sat, got their dinner and would leave before we got our appetizers and then it happened again while we waited for dinner. Not sure if they forgot to put our order in but I've never experienced a restaurant taking that long. It wasn't that packed! As for the food, the bacon wrapped scallops were yummy and the pasta fagioli soup was good. However, I did not enjoy the taste of the clams which I eat often. Not sure if I got a yucky one. The menu had veal sorrentino but I'm not a big veal fan so asked for them to switch it to chicken and they accommodated that with no issue. But the sauce wasn't very flavorful. I was in the area but not sure that I'd come back due to the overall experience.

It truly felt like you were being transported to the 1920's when the staff brought us downstairs. The menu features many different speciality cocktails and includes a couple mocktail options. Also had an option to create your own drink! Will definitely be back to try a couple more drinks off the menu!

    We have visited there a few times and they have different themes during the year, the ambiance is…read morereally cool. Right now they have a tiki theme, however, that's it in my opinion as far as draw to keep going there. The drinks are an overpriced smoke screen for people who want to waste money on a sugary drink. And it goes along with the whole Asbury Park eclectic vibe but most of the drinks have a 5 or more ingredients I never heard of (which is fine) but it waters down the drink. I don't want to have a drink (or pay $15+ for a drink) that tastes like a fruity cup of juice. As far as the limited food suggestions on the menu- only 2 or 3- this is the third time we've been there and they said they were out of food -so then take it off your menu if you can't be consistent!!! We're not just going to keep drinking without anything to eat to go along with it. As far as the service it's inconsistent, when we sat down there was only two of us- The server was very nice but we waited too long for our drinks. A party of 7 came in about 1/2 hour after us and they had their drinks within 5 minutes- that should never be. After one drink we got the check and we left, we are completely scratching it off our list, we will not return there. It does bum me out because it has such potential and there's nothing like it around but I'm not going to visit an establishment where I walk away feeling it was a waste of money.

We also got the chicken quesadilla, which was solid. Loved that the drinks were half off even on Christmas Eve. The side Caesar was decent for $5; the dressing was the only thing that could use a little improvement. The fries with the burger were perfectly seasoned, and the side of honey mustard was a great combo. Overall, absolutely worth it and I'd definitely come back and the waitress was amazing , super pleasant and friendly. Merry Christmas

Second time we went in I got the honey hot patty (burger $15.99) and he got the chicken tenders (fat's tendies $12.99.) The honey hot burger was fantastic, albeit messy, but I do recommend. The chicken tenders were sad, rubbery, and incredibly dry. Most of the plate was taken up by fries, which are not that great themselves. (see photo.) This last time I went in by myself and ordered the buffalo chicken salad ($12.99) and a side of the 3 cheese Mac & cheese (4.99.) The salad was huge, buffalo sauce is great. The Mac & cheese came out completely cold. The very bottom was luke warm, but it had clearly been sitting for a VERY long time, and some of it tasted like it was undercooked. We've given this place 3 chances now and still haven't left completely satisfied. New location, new staff, have to work out the kinks but at this point I don't see it improving much, which is a shame because they have a great looking menu. Visit with low expectations and hopefully you receive better food than we did. It's a gamble.

A mixed drink with a great pour size, and a bottle of soda was $12 - which is cheaper than most venues considering it was a full bottle and we go to keep the cap and the mixed drink was large. We saw "The Carpenters", which I saw a while back at the Algonquin theater. I wanted to see the show again because it was so good, but this show was like listening to the B-side of a 45. I can't even tell you how disappointed I was that they didn't play many hits. She sang covers from other artists and not so popular hits. I personally found it strange the way the show began with the guy running the strand, coming on stage with a piece of paper talking, and then having us stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I have no problems saying the Pledge of Allegiance, but I just found the whole thing odd. I've never gone to any other musical event or show where they had everyone stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance prior to the event. I also had a rude person seating us. I thought I had bought center orchestra, but it turned out that I bought center tier and when I told him I just wanted to look at my phone to verify what I had purchased because I thought my tickets were wrong. He got nasty with me and told me that's what your ticket said that's what you bought and I told him to just give me a minute so I could just look it up on my phone to verify and it wasn't like he had anything else to do or he was seating anyone else I didn't ask him to wait with me. I understood that my tickets were for the tier, but before I climb the stairs to the top, I wanted to make sure that I got the correct tickets from Will call, but instead of just letting me be, he felt the need to argue with me when there was no argument to be had, and him finally walking away, saying whatever. Other than him all the other people working there were great. This was just one experience but normally I never have any problems there.

Needless to say we ended up with some great photos at the end of the day. You're not going here though for the view. Sorry I had to. Anyways we only ate off the buffet menu that they had prepared. The selection was suprisingly minimal compared to others that I have been at but the price was less than those bigger ones. The quality of the food was 50/50 and the presentation of it was just the same. They had a really great potato dish with red peppers and onions. Wanted to put some ketchep on the side of that and for some reason that was only at another table in a completely different room. The salmon and the chicken were very well prepared but the eggs were not that great. Like I said you had a 50/50 chance of getting something that you were going to like. The dessert was about the same and there was enough choices that you were going to get something that you liked. The service was really what took this place down a notch. Which is strange because it's a buffet so it should be really hard to have bad service. The drinks that we ordered were a pain to get refilled and the plates were not getting taken from the table almost at all. We would have a bunch of empty glasses of water at the table and one of us would ask the server to fill it. She would come and fill that persons glass and walk away. So we realized that we had to tell the server to fill all the empty glasses. Problem was we had to keep doing this they wouldn't just do it. We had to ask each time. It's water it's free and I get that but to have to keep asking for a refill so weird. I wouldn't mind going to play a round at this place sometime and then try the regular sit down menu. Just don't know if this place was really that much of a stand out that I would go back. Would probably say worth a stop if your playing a round and in this area specifically.
