A summer down at the shore wouldn't be the same without a few dinings here. All is made fresh for the table by the talented chef-owners. I recently had the Lamb Shank special (a new favorite), and in the recent past have had the Lavraki, Trio (Melitzanosalata, Hummus, and Roasted Peppers), Greek Salad with sheep feta, Chicken Kebob, Galactoboureko, and Baklava. I'm especially impressed by how beautifully they cook and season their Orzo. Great place!

Worst experience ever -- and I didn't even have to step foot in the restaurant…read more When calling about our reservation, the lady on the phone was extremely rude and condescending. When I asked to push our reservation back by an hour, she responded unprofessionally, making comments about our party being "big" and saying our children "should be controlled," which was completely inappropriate. She then claimed she still needed time to cook the food and said we hadn't given her enough time, even though we were simply requesting a later reservation. Instead of trying to work with us or communicating respectfully, she abruptly said she would "just cancel the reservation." Just speaking to someone like this over the phone was enough to completely turn me off from ever wanting to try this place. Customer service matters -- and if there were an option to give zero stars, that's what this experience deserves. DO NOT GO HERE !!!!!!! In response to the owner- She hung up on us and literally said "just cancel your reservation" without giving me a chance to speak. I've been there before and the food was good but unfortunately your service sucks. Your owner was excuse my French, a b*tch and if you lost your chef then your restaurant wouldn't be in business, sorry to say.

We had no wait for a table around noon, although they were briskly busy on this holiday. Our server was relaxed and not bothered by the commotion, took his time and helped us through our choices. No brunch cocktails for us, we dug right in to meals. I chose the peach burrata caprese salad plate with a side of blackened chicken breast. Although the menu said the peaches would be grilled, they were cold. Perfectly ripe and firm, a great sweet contrast to the balsamic vinegar drizzle. Creamy burrata, basil, and sliced grape tomatoes rounded out the plate. This was a superb salad. The grilled chicken was a $6 add and came on a separate plate. Generous sized, the breast was well seasoned and tender. We took some home with spouse's plentiful potatoes from the skillet. Spouse went with the meat lovers skillet with scrambled eggs and wheat toast. The skillet had ham bacon sausage and cheddar cheese with a huge pile of potatoes and two scrambled eggs. It also included wheat toast. This was a lot of food! This is a bright, well lit, smartly decorated restaurant, where I would love to have spent time at happy hour. Good service, good food, not overpriced at all. Maybe another visit next time we're in New Jersey!

My friends and I visited for their first Girl Dinner night where they had a book mobile called…read moreAusten's Shelf in the parking lot which was the main reason for our visit. When it was first advertised on Instagram, my friend made a reservation. However, when we arrived the staff were confused and overwhelmed by the big turnout and made no effort to assist us promptly. They sat us inside since the patio tables were already taken, and we waited 15-20 minutes for someone to take our order. The ambiance was casual and the noise level was very loud. They have a bar on the main level and the place just looks like a casual pizza joint. The patio seats looked more appealing and I found out after we left that they were doing a giveaway which we weren't included in. The girl dinner menu options were very basic with no meat or seafood options. I probably should've ordered off of the regular menu. I started out with an espresso martini which was okay, not the best and not the worst. Next I had a Caesar salad that was drowning in dressing that was too creamy and rich for me. The cheese pizza had a nice dough but the marinara and cheese were below average. I've had better pizza from a gas station, but I was starving since I'd already been there for 45 minutes. My friend only ate one slice of hers. I suppose we got what we paid for since it was only $25 per person. By the time we got our checks and were ready to go check out the book store, there were very few options left. If it weren't for the great company and the chance to check out Austen's Shelf, this night would've been very disappointing.

Their matcha lattes have become my favorite after trying so many places in Atlantic county. I've had the pina colada, yuzu cream, and strawberry versions and they were all fantastic. They use a generous amount of ceremonial grade matcha powder and the syrups are homemade without being overly sweet. It actually tastes like matcha & isn't full of filler ingredients. I've also had the French press coffee & an Americano which were both solid. I'll have to try a latte next time. The food is incredible as well. Ive had their cacio e Pepe scrambled eggs that was a special and my go to lately has been the daily quiche. They both came with a house salad & the eggs were perfectly cooked & seasoned. If you like freshly cooked & good quality dishes, this is your spot. They have lighter items & comforting foods without making you feel overly stuffed. They are BYOB & they also have occasional evening events that I'm curious about trying someday. Definitely check them out if you haven't! There's lots of parking & they're right next to White Horse Wine.
