Inside is incredibly inviting and not what I would expect from a brewpub. There were candles lit at the tables and the ambiance was perfect despite it being a Saturday night.

Definitely try the Creamy Whispers if you get the chance, it is delicious. Such a standout experience during our trip. I can't wait to come back and make this a regular spot.

I stopped in on their Tuesday burger night and got the "burger of the Month" I highly recommend this as it has an amazing bacon jam aioli and cooked onions on a pretzel bun. The truffle fries are the perfect side. I also tried the wings and giant pretzel, all of which are hits. Head on over and get some great tasting fresh food and craft beer!

The hot sauce really made for the perfect bite of savory, spicy, soft, crunch, and tart. - Would recommend for: if your looking for a zero-proof brunch option with quality plate and an extensive coffee menu - Rating: 4/5

We loved the food at Repeal Bourbons and Burgers !…read more We started off with drinks which were yummy and delicious. I had the Plymouth Rock because I love Gin and it was refreshingly sweet. My husband had the Margarita on the Rocks which I was not a fan of. I did not like the mix they used to make thins drink. My son also tasted it and agreed with my opinion. The lettuce wraps were really good. My daughter in law and I both had the CALIFORNICATION burger, my husband had the CLASSIC burger, my son had the CAPONE Burger and everyone was really happy! All burgers were properly cooked and delicious. The fries were good, nothing special to write about. My husband had the fries with bacon dust and they were very sweet. He wasn't a fan but I thought they were delicious!

My wife ordered a burger on a GF Bun with Fries and the Cherry Limeade Cocktail. Fantastic! My wife has Gluten intolerance so sometimes it's hard for us to find accommodations when we travel so this was very much appreciated and everything tasted so good. Hat's off to the Service, Chef, and staff here. All of the awards and accomplishments are the Real Deal and well-deserved! Highly Recommend, and if we're back around the area in the near or not to distant future, we will certainly be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!! -FROM JCARAL in PA

I have been delivered to Brazino Heaven!…read more I have been to Costa Brava Spain, Porto and Nazare Portugal (I'm not bragging - it's context), and I just had The Best Branzino I've ever eaten. I had mine pan seared -OMG! Topped with chimichurri and seared vegetable medley w a An African secret sauce in the side - unbelievable. This is what makes Pacifica my fave on the oceanfront (tourists - your welcome). Make the trip to Pacifica Ave and 34 (?), you'll be happy you did. Also try the chocolate blended drink - if you like White Russians and espresso martinis!

Ambiance: Very pretty and modern. Love the laid back vibes and atmosphere…read more Service: Our waiter was quick and polite. I asked him for a drink recommendation and he was quick and accurate in terms of recommending drinks he thinks I would like Drinks: Pretty good. The Negroni wasn't too bitter and had a good taste to it. I asked the waiter for a drink that was refreshing but not too sweet. He recommended the Lucille which was spot on. Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special. I wish they gave us more bread REPLY TO BUSINESS OWNER: WOW, that was an extremely unprofessional reply. None of the cocktails we ordered were vodka redbull. Thanks for replying and letting me know to never return!

Unassuming from the outside, it quickly reveals itself as one of the Oceanfront's better-kept secrets: warm, intuitive service, occasional live music, and an elevated kitchen that has yet to disappoint. The peel-and-eat shrimp are among the best we've had. Add a tiny dog-friendly patio and "The Bob," their take on the Old Fashioned, and there is little left to argue. Some restaurants seek attention. The better ones earn affection. This one has ours.

We came across this place while stopping for gas and checked out the menu to make sure my brother could eat there since he has a shellfish allergy. The waitresses and staff were very nice and made sure to clean the prep area extra well and whatnot to help prevent any issues. They were very accommodating. Not only were the staff friendly, the food was excellent! I got my crab cake sandwich and hush puppies (which I included a photo of), my grandma and mom got bang bang shrimp, one brother got hot dogs and the other got chicken strips. I wish I lived closer because now I need another order of the crab cake sandwich and hush puppies!

The ambiance was nice, the open kitchen with the wood fire hearth right at the entrance added a warm cozy feel from the onset. The restaurant was warmly lit but not dark. We were seated immediately in the far left dining area in an elevated booth. After reviewing the menu we settled on the fried deviled eggs and wood fire oysters for starters and the Vincent Vega pizza for dinner. Fried deviled eggs was a first for us and it was so good! The egg white was breaded very lightly and fried and the egg yolk was piped on top with a piece of smoky delicious bacon goodness. It had a nice smoky, bacon-y taste and we devoured them. I only wish you got more than 2 pieces. I think 4 pieces would be better for the price considering it's essentially one egg but I'm not complaining. The wood fire oysters was another hit for us, the serving came with 6 half shell oysters topped with breadcrumbs (light), swimming in butter and fire roasted. I think we ate these even faster than the deviled eggs lol! Would definitely get these again. The pizza also did not disappoint. If you like bacon, mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese, you'll love this pizza. We added crushed red pepper flakes which added a nice kick. The crust is the star of the show; thin, crispy but still has body and slightly chewy. Yum! That wood fire hearth definitely makes a difference. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! The staff were also very nice and friendly.

The pickled garlic was an excellent addition to the board and the elk salami was fantastic. I had the steak sammy, which was a Sunday Special. It should be on the menu all the time. It was excellent. The fries were crisp and perfectly seasoned. My wife had the pork chop. It was perfectly cooked. Pork can be dry. This was not. Just well done and seasoned to perfection. My son had the steak sammy (like father like son) and his wife had the half chicken. It was all spectacular. So very good. For dessert we shared the cheesecake and the tiramisu bread pudding between the four of us. Everyone was happy. The portions were large so to go boxes were had by all. Special shoutout to Reagan our server. She was exceptional. Made the right recommendations on all things. Timed our orders perfectly and we had just an amazing time Thank you Hearth Wood Fired Cuisine and thank you Reagan for making my Father's day.

My friend and I stopped by Calypso on a Saturday night for a fun night out. The last time she went…read moreto Calypso was during the Summer and there was a DJ and people dancing so we assumed that was the vibe all year round. Unfortunately, there wasn't a DJ but the music was great! We walked over to the bar and the bartenders were super cool. They gave us drink menus to look over and I love that they have mocktail options for those that don't drink alcohol. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and after the "included gratuity", my drink was $15, which was bit pricey. Overall, the night was great and we enjoyed ourselves! The longer we stayed, the more people started coming in and even though it was a bit chilly, some people decided to hang out in their outdoor patio area as well. We did have to park on 11th street and parking was $2/hr but it was worth it. If you're looking for a fun place to grab some food and drinks while vibing to some great music, head to the Calypso at the Oceanfront.
