They're only 2 blocks from the beach, so only street parking is available. There's a nice variety of breakfast & lunch options. I had the Orale Benedict which has chorizo on top of a slice of sweet potato instead of an English muffin. My poached eggs were a little under but I still enjoyed it. It came with salad or fruit. I opted for the salad & thought the vinaigrette was fresh & tasty. Service was prompt & friendly. I also liked that they brought out an ice bucket for my sparkling wine. They also have specialty coffee drinks that I'll have to try next time because I will definitely be back!

The people working there were very friendly and helpful both times we had gone so far. We got some scones which were huge and all unbelievably delicious.

One time we had an iced s'mores latte and a snickerdoodle latte and the next time we both got peppermint mocha iced lattes. So good!!! Definitely stop by and give this place a try!

Our lunch was fantastic and showed the same quality and care we love from the original location. The décor is beautiful and the staff is outstanding. You can feel the attention to detail in everything they do. The food is fresh, simply seasoned and consistently delicious. I ordered the Shrimp Avocado Salad and it was excellent. The grape tomatoes were sweet, the spring mix was abundant, and the grilled shrimp were seasoned perfectly. Some of the best shrimp flavor I have had so far. I chose the chipotle dressing and it was delicious. My husband had the Steak Sandwich on focaccia with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. Outstanding. The fries were fresh, flavorful and not greasy. He also loved their Mexican hot chocolate made from scratch. A must every time. Parking is street and metered so you do have to pay, but it is easy and convenient. It is always nice to see Dolfino and his wife Lupay. They greet everyone warmly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. This was our first visit to the new AC Café location and it was a great experience from start to finish. Isabella's continues to deliver quality, care and consistency. We will definitely be back.

I was a bit skeptical after reading some of the recent reviews, and decided to just order a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. My partner, on the other hand, was not influenced at all by the negative posts, and ordered cheesy scrambled eggs and pancakes. I should have listened to my partner, the pancakes were light and fluffy and the cheesy eggs were cooked perfectly. My bagel was nice and deeply toasted, which I like, served with the best.... Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I noted a nice crowd for a Saturday brunch - and the dishes all looked appetizing. My concerns were alleviated completely; Ozzie's was great for brunch; I wish I had ordered the pancakes! I also wanted to mention the excellent service.

Eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast for me; steak and eggs for my husband, which he said was very tasty. Food was very good, everything arrived hot on our plates. Our waitress was very attentive.

Menu was very detailed and expansive enough for anyone dining there. Pricing was acceptable, considering one is at a shore location. Definitely will hit up Johnny's for lunch or dinner next time we are in Margate.

A $3.95 slice of apple cake needs to be twice as thick minus the doily. Waitress check on our empty water glasses---NOPE! We'll be back with more, hopefully positive, observations.

It's a deli offering the classic staples. Menu and interior haven't been updated in at least 20 years. Deal with it or eat elsewhere. Sorry not sorry! I absolutely LOVE coming to downbeach when I'm visiting home. Best Rueben on the island and of course I enjoy the classic breakfast staples on offer. But I never leave without grabbing some goodies from the bakery. The Jewish apple cake is probably my favorite in the world. It's always super moist and very sweet. I also love the rugelach and hamantaschen! If Jewish deli is what you want, you won't leave disappointed. The price tag is hearty but the portions more or less fit the bill. The servers are efficient and pleasant enough but keep your expectations in check. And unlike most Margate eateries, DD has parking!
