Our waitress, Valentina, was so friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and provide recommendations. For appetizers, we had their shaved romaine salad and the burrata with strawberries and tomatoes. Both of these appetizers were amazing! Their strawberries were so fresh and the shaved romaine was unique with basil pesto and a lemon aioli. For entrees we had their Pomodoro pasta and the cavatelli pasta. Both of these dishes were really good as well! The cavatelli was our favorite between the two, but the Pomodoro was really tasty as well! For dessert, we had a chocolate mouse with strawberries on top. The dessert was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back again soon!

Not sure if it was sitting around for a bit but somethin tasted a bit off about it. For my dinner they were lovely in removing the beef jus from the mushroom ravioli with a butter sauce but it felt like there was no seasoning. Just the ravioli in straight melted butter which left it being a bit lackluster. It is Bring your own if you are looking to have something a bit stronger than water/soda.

What looks to be a very…read moreunassuming restaurant in a strip mall is actually an excellent and very modern local favorite. The service was excellent and the environment is relaxing. They had several dishes on the menu with their own unique twist. One of my favorites that was tried was burrata over a beet puree. I've seen burrata prepared easily over a dozen ways but never with beets. It was an excellent combination and left me wanting more. More my entree I had the sesame encrusted tuna. The portion was huge! They do not skimp here. The tuna was cooked perfectly rare and was very fresh. Surprisingly, one of the best things I ate at Manera's was the caramelized onion mashed potato's that came with my fiancés veal dish. These were out of this world and easily the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. I could have eaten an entire plate of them and that's saying something for someone that typically doesn't eat mashed potatoes! Another big perk is that Manera's is BYOB and much more reasonably priced compared to any restaurant on the island. You will surely leave satisfied after a meal here!

We started…read morewith some local oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want when you're spending time down the shore. Always nice to see a place featuring local oysters, and they were a great start to the meal. For my main, I went with the tuna bowl and really enjoyed it. The tuna was fresh, the ingredients worked well together, and the whole bowl was flavorful without being overly complicated. Everything tasted fresh and the portion was just right. Definitely something I would order again. As far as the atmosphere goes, keep your expectations simple. This isn't a fancy waterfront seafood restaurant or a place you're necessarily coming to for the décor. It's casual and pretty no-frills, but honestly, that's perfectly fine when the food delivers. The service was also very good--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Overall, Dock & Claw is a solid Beach Haven spot if you're looking for fresh seafood, good service, and a relaxed meal without all the fuss. The local oysters and tuna bowl were both winners for me. I'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

The staff were welcoming, friendly and very attentive to our needs and requests. Especially our server Aydin and manager Nicole. More about these exceptional individuals later! One member of our party suffers from severe Celiac disease and it's always a challenge trying to find meals she can enjoy that have the least risk of cross contamination. Many restaurants have limited gluten free options or can only offer suggestions on which menu items can be made gluten free. But they rarely have dedicated cooking and preparation areas nor do they fully understand the disease. Wally's has actual gluten free menus! Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus! Each has a large selection of 'normal' meals that are made with gluten free breads, rolls...everything! Not only are the meals gluten free, but their preparation is so perfect (gluten free items such as breads need special attention to get the best taste, consistency and flavors...they can't be prepared like regular bread items). The gluten free meal was absolutely fantastic! All of our meals were fantastic! Delicious, plated wonderfully and perfectly proportioned. Our server Aydin was exceptional! Pleasant, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. His recommendations were perfect. Aydin took wonderful care of our party and made sure each order was perfect...with special attention to the gluten free meal! Aydin was a pleasure and his service was excellent! Nicole is the manager and she came and introduced herself. She is the perfect example of what a manager should be...friendly, engaging and gracious. Nicole showed us the importance Wally's places on providing excellent service and personalized care to each and every customer! Her knowledge of gluten free food preparation is extensive...and very much appreciated! Again...this was our first visit to Wally's and we can't wait to return. Thank you Wally's, thank you Aydin, thank you Nicole!

We started with the beef tartare and cauliflower soup (not pictured because we literally licked the bowls clean ). For entrees, we had the strip steak, cooked absolutely perfectly, and the bolognese.
