Truly a hidden gem if you are looking for good and affordable eats that aren't overpriced. The staff is super friendly with lots of great looking fresh seafood for sale. The best part is the food comes out fresh, quick, and it's super affordable. They have a wide variety of fried seafood but their sea bass burgers are great. Only recommendation is to ask for more tartar sauce! I'd come back for more. Definitely make your way off the boardwalk to give it a try.

If the weather is better, a pocket park offers outside tables steps from the door. An outgoing young man was our cashier, and then busied himself preparing for closing when we came in late on a Saturday. I ordered a sauteed flounder fish platter which came with simple mixed vegetables and coleslaw. The fish was so moist and tender and swimming in a mildly seasoned lovely broth. The veggies were seasoned and buttery, simple and delicious . The cole slaw was homemade but unremarkable. $8.99 for this healthy meal. Sign me up! Spouse ordered the soft flour shell, fried shrimp tacos and boy were they huge! He asked for the slaw on the side so it wouldn't make the tacos soggy, and got two full-sized side orders of coleslaw with his two tacos. For $5 each. No frills just good food.

I had the following: Clams and oysters on the half shell- fresh, juicy and delightful. Clams casino-nicely size and savory. Loved the addition of peppers. Red snapper- very good. Fish was prepared awesomely over a bed of jambalaya. My only gripe, give a little more rice. Salmon and shrimp- The salmon was perfectly done. The shrimp,rice and sauce pairing set this dish off. In all my party was impressed with the food and service. Would definitely stop in on my next visit.

Bartender, mature guy with a good attitude, waits tables too, and is pretty good at it. No nonsense service, we ordered a paloma and a beer with him right away. When he came back with drinks, we had our choices ready. I had an arugula salad with added grilled shrimp, split an order of buffalo wings and drooled over my husband's burger. The food here is excellent! It took awhile to get waters, but our dude got around to it eventually. The salad was cool and fresh but the olive oil and lemon dressing was pure oil. No worries, I used the ranch from the wings and all was good. I liked the shaved Parmesan and the fact that someone took the time to slice the tiny grape tomatoes, precious. Wings were crunchy and spicy in all the right places. The Squire Burger had huge pieces of maple bacon sticking out from two patties cheese and iceberg. The fries were perfect. The bun was fluffy and glistening on top. Beautiful. We were surprised at the small bill, but left very satisfied. Highly recommend!

The place was pretty empty and it wasn't close to closing, but it seems she wanted to scold us first. Luckily, the experience picked up after that. The decor is nice with dark wood, simple but elegant chandeliers, and old photos on the wall. The service was great. The complementary bread was nice and soft. I had the baked chicken which came with spinach and white beans in a big pile and was a bit too saucy. The steak was well-cooked but also pretty saucy, accompanied by mashed potatoes with 2 plantains haphazardly stuck in with a side of chimichurri sauce. All the flavors were good, but the presentation was a bit odd. The prices were reasonable. It was fine, but nothing that felt like a standout for more fine dining options. They do have a weekend lunch pre-fixe option. The ambiance is nice.

So I feel like I had a Keith Lee moment with this restaurant (which is located in the Claridge…read moreHotel) and here's why: - Friends and I were in AC and wanted a yummy brunch on Sunday and we stumbled upon this restaurant. - Reviews were great and the pictures of the food on both Yelp, their website and their IG page looked SLAMMING! - Their Sunday hours were limited - closing at 3pm - according to Yelp and their website. - I took an Uber and my friends paid to park at a nearby garage - Once we arrived at the hotel we needed to ask reception which floor the restaurant was on since there was no signage - To our surprise and disappointment we were informed that the restaurant wasn't open because it's out of peak season So we wasted money on both Ubers and parking and now needed to find somewhere else to eat all because this establishment can't keep their business hours up to date, when this is a 101 basic in business ownership. So BEWARE when / if you decide to pay them all visit and call the phone number or the Claridge directly to ensure they are open so you won't find yourself in the same situation we were in.

I went with the Connecticut lobster roll. It was packed with lobster and after adding a few condiments quite good. The roll comes with fries which were okay. They have ketchup and Tabasco if needed. They have a variety of cold drinks. I went with a cream soda. I saw they carried a few items for dessert as well as from Water Dog. The location is on the bay. You can seat yourself along the windows inside and enjoy the view or expect there are seats outside but I didn't see them. Even on a rainy day it was a beautiful location. Free parking is limited right in front of the restaurant. There is additional paid metered parking around the area. I would definitely return to try the scallop version, other regular menu items, as well as their specials. Enjoy!
