Ahearns was always our tried and true place to get fresh seafood for decades. Sadly, not anymore…read more it all started with the Manhattan clam chowder. The intense fishy smell as I heated it should have clued me in. One bite and it went into the garbage. The usually fresh, firm and delicious wild caught cleaned shrimp were mushy after cooking and a bit stinky as well. They were "edible" but we couldn't face the leftovers. The snow crab legs were frozen and when cooked, turned out to be thin and with very little meat...$150+ later, Ahearns is a thing of the past for us.

The fish was incredibly fresh and the pricing was very reasonable. We tried to ask some qs, but didn't get a lot of help. That being said, it was a Saturday morning and very busy so we won't fault them for that. I'm sure that's not the case on a normal day. Definitely head to Ortley if you're in need of some very fresh fish!

We dined here on Father's Day and had a great experience! We were quoted a 40-minute wait but were…read moreseated in only 20, so I'd recommend waiting it out if the wait seems long. There's also a huge free parking lot right outside. Our waitress, Liz, was kind, attentive, and clearly very experienced. The restaurant is BYOB, though they do sell a few bottles for around $35. Just note that wine options are limited--they only had Chardonnay as their white wine option. The complimentary tuna salad was so good that we bought a container from the market to take home. We each had a cup of clam chowder, shared the miso scallop sushi, and ordered the sesame-crusted bluefin tuna special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The highlight for me was the key lime pie--one of the best I've ever had. We loved everything and can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

Poor service and increasingly lackluster food after the fact (2 days in a row) aren't reasons for me to update my review. What needs improvement isn't the feedback--it's the execution. The service was subpar, and unfortunately, the dishes no longer live up to the standard that once made this place worth visiting.

Happy Valentine's Day !! Came around 12 on Valentine's Day! When we left there was a wait to sit…read more Waitresses were very kind and attentive. There is a to go area, bathroom, and then indoor seating area. They have merchandise behind the register. Started with the tuna nachos and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. Tuna was good quality and had a good coating of sesame seeds. My perfect bite was tuna, orange sauce, seaweed, tomato, & onion. The chips were perfectly crispy. The crab rangoon was surprisingly good. This appetizer is what made me pick this place. Such a good combination. Didn't need the marinera sauce. Next up soups. Lobster bisque was ok. I guess I was expecting it to be a little more rich. But it was good, it tasted exactly like lobster and I got good chunks in the soup too. Now the shrimp and corn chowder was super flavorful. Favorite dish of the meal. For mains, cold lobster roll and two tails w butter and side salad. Side salad was well dressed and I appreciate the ribbons of Parmesan. The lobster was mostly cooked right. There was one that was a bit chewy. Added salt and butter but felt like something was missing still. I couldn't find a good combo of toppings to go with the lobster. The cold lobster roll was alright. The potato bread added a good sweet flavor that complimented the lobster. Overall a decent meal.

The waitress put 2 tables together for us and since we were the only ones inside she was ready to take our drink orders. Several in the group ordered fancy mixed drinks that they all raved about. I went for unsweetened ice tea. It's a good thing I tasted it before I added Splenda. We ordered chicken fingers for our girls so that their food would come out first. 2 of us ordered raw clams on the half shell and 2 ordered steamed clams for appetizers. We also ordered our entrees at this time. 3 of us ordered Flounder in a basket with French fries.And 2 of us had fried shrimp with fries. The first thing out was 2 orders of raw clams . Then 2 orders of Flounder with fries. Then 1 order of Flounder and finally brought out the chicken fingers for our 2 little ones. We asked where the appetizer order of the steamed clams was. The runner brought it out and yes it was cold and had to be sent back. When it finally came out it was ok. The manager came by to apologize for the problem. The food was ok. The place is clean and rustic with their metal chairs. The waitress knew what she was doing . We know she put the order in for the chicken fingers but the kitchen screwed up. Also the runner left the steamed clams sit there getting cold. We will probably be back but will expect better results so that I can increase my stars.
