Servers were friendly and the service was good, although the kitchen was rather slow. Took forever to get our meal and it was not high season. But the portions were generous and my omelette was very good, where the additional mushrooms I requested were plentiful. It's a nice relaxing atmosphere to get together with friends. You certainly can't beat the view. Just make sure to fill up your wallet first. Breakfast for 3 before tip was $79.

We ordered French toast, the breakfast burrito, short rib toast and a grilled chicken wrap. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a must, I would go everyday just for that alone. My waitress recommended the short rib and I loved it. The breakfast burrito was also really good though I wish it had bacon instead of chorizo but that just personal preference. My sister isn't a breakfast person and she liked her grilled chicken wrap. And we all shared the French toast which was good as well. As a girl from Pittsburgh, I also loved that they had Heinz ketchup. The staff was great. It was busy the whole time we were there. We will definitely be going back.

Was surprised by how the food wasn't as good as my last review. The service was still good…read more I had the lobster roll special, which has a good amount of lobster, but not enough to even fill the roll. The special came with fries and at the price I would have expected their rice and salad option which they gave a year ago according to a picture I saw. Overall the price didn't justify the roll and just fries. The lobster roll itself did taste good though and the fries were good, but I was hoping for the rice and salad as an option. The sesame mayo that came with it was really good. My wife had the Mahi Mahi melt that also came with fries. She got full on the fries and half of the sandwich so I was able to try the other half. A good amount of fish, but unfortunately was kind of dry. There wasn't much cheese on it so I wouldn't call it a melt. I also don't remember the bread being toasted. Overall, the lack of good sides, portion, price, and taste of the melt led me to the 3 star review.

Quincy's Original Lobster Rolls is a taste of New England right on the Ocean City Boardwalk…read more We stopped at Quincy's on the Ocean City boardwalk and ordered the classic lobster roll, and I have to say, it was so good you'd swear you were somewhere along the Maine coast. Fresh, flavorful, toasted roll, and not drowned in mayo or weighed down with filler, this roll had that unmistakable New England quality that's rare to find outside the region. The setup is everything you want from a boardwalk seafood stand, kitschy signage, college kids on summer hire, and the energy of classic Americana done right. It's casual, quick, and full of the sights, sounds, and smells of summer at the Jersey Shore. We were with our oldest kid, making a round of food stops, and this one easily topped the list. Staff were friendly, efficient, and clearly having a good time, which always makes the experience better. Final word: Quincy's is legit. If you're in Ocean City and craving a real lobster roll that doesn't feel like a tourist trap, this is the spot. I'd absolutely go back and recommend it to anyone walking the boards looking for a bite that actually delivers.

I ordered the chicken Cesar wrap which came with a side and I also ordered a side of the Mac and cheese. The Cesar wrap was really good and had an equal part of chicken and salad mix. The dressing was perfect and did not have a soupy taste with all of the ingredients mixed together. My only wish is that the wrap was a little bit thicker as it fell apart very easily. The wrap is definitely enough for two people to share. I was able to have leftovers the next day and it was still tasty. The Mac and cheese tasted like a white cheddar mix. Overall not mad but needed a tad bit of seasoning for my liking. Overall good experience and friendly staff. I could see this place getting packed and the wait time a little longer depending on how busy they are.

I remember I tried to make a resy for the Thursday before LDW, and they were completely booked by 11am. Though, my aunt and uncle's hot tip is to just go snag some seats at the bar. For a party of 2 I'm sure it's worth the try. This cozy little spot is perfect for a date night. You are greeted with live piano music and perfectly dimmed light. The atmosphere is way more sophisticated than I was imagining- in a great way! Cocktails: we dined here the week of Thanksgiving and I'm still talking about the Farm Shrub Spritz: Lillet Blanc, Seasonal Farm Fruit + White Balsamic Shrub, Prosecco, Mint. I know, I know...it's super interesting combo...but listen- THE BALSAMIC IS THE STAR IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! Sweet and tangy and perfectly complemented the food we ordered. I don't even remember what J got, but he liked it. LOL For appetizer we went with the burrata which was accompanied by melted plum tomatoes and sweet and roasted long hots, and some toasted bread. I was really not sure how I felt about this pairing but oh my goodness- a party in my mouth! I loved it. I went with the filet as my entree which came with marsala demi glaze, mashed potatoes, and grilled mushroom. Listen, not the best steak I've ever had, but it was very good. The sauce certainly enhanced the experience. J went with the duck. OMG!!!! I don't regret not ordering this, but it was delectable. The duck was so tender, the sun-dried cherry and orange reduction was a perfect sweetness, and I was especially impressed with the sides of bacon braised cabbage and sweet potato and butternut squash galette- aka cheesy sweet potato and butternut squash. To end the night, I got the banana cream pie- because DUH! And J went with the creme brûlée. I'm not going to deduct stars, but the service got extra slow towards the end even though the place completely cleared out. Regardless, I definitely would like to return (off season).
