Last night, my father and I went to a new family restaurant in the Wildwoods, Kimberley's Restaurant in North Wildwood, for dinner. We were immediately greeted by the friendly owners and brought to our table. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful and clean the restaurant is. Kimberley's did an amazing job of renovating the longstanding restaurant to give it a fresh, yet nostalgic 50's/Doo-Wop look.
Our waitress, Rema, greeted us after we sat down and took our drink order...Kona Dark Roast Coffee! Rema was a sweetheart and asked if we minded waiting a few minutes for her to brew us a fresh pot of coffee. It was perfect for a blustery, cold evening! Rema was great about making rounds throughout our meal checking on us and seeing if we needed anything like our coffees or waters refilled. A cool note on the coffee is you have more than just regular/decaf for your choice of coffee. Kimberley's features Kona Light, Medium and Dark Roasts with some seasonal choices (current seasonal choices were Sugar Cookie and Pumpkin Spice).
Before ordering our meals, Rema brought us some fresh, fluffy sliced bread with a delicious garlic sauce for dipping. The dipping sauce was delicious and should be bottled and sold! Each entree comes with soup or salad to which we each picked the salads. The side salads were sizable, with lots of spring mix, carrots, cucumbers, and olives. I wish my father and I had some restraint to have taken pictures of our dinners, but they looked too darn good (and tasted too darn good) to pause for pictures.
For our meals, my father ordered the Seared Scallops (approx. 7-8 sizable from my memory) served over risotto with a double order of the veggie of the day, Italian Vegetable Medley, on the side. I don't think there was a drop of sauce or a grain of rice left on his plate. His silence during the meal spoke volumes as to how delicious it was. I wasn't talking much either while enjoying the Roasted Red Pepper Crab Mac'n'Cheese. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the béchamel was super flavorful with multiple cheeses, and the crab meat came in large, sweet lumps throughout the entire dish. I usually take home a portion of my meals for a snack later on, but like my father, I returned my plate to our server cleaned. Both of us enjoyed our meals so much, that we returned this morning for breakfast (breakfast review with photos to follow!).
Other things to note about Kimberley's that we did not take part in is that Kimberley's is a family friendly restaurant perfect for kids of all ages. They have a beautifully maintained, year-round (and free for diners) mini-golf course, Kids Eat Free on Friday nights, and family entertainment like face painting/glitter tattoos, etc. Check out Kimberley's Restaurant's Facebook page for all their updates on specials, events, etc.
As long-time year-round residents, we are very happy to have a delicious year-round option for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Wildwoods! read more
