Loved how cute this little quaint place is. Kick back and chill with friends or solo for a nice vibe, good fresh food and a coffee. The service was also great. The ONLY downside was that the omelette plate cost $21 and once I added a coffee and a tip, it was over $30, so it's not exactly a budget friendly type of place to go. Everything else was great. *I DID share it with my niece, so if you consider that it fed 2 of us, it wasn't bad at all. read more

The Dorset - Veggie omelette sub egg whites add turkey bacon - Burgers Near Me - Ventnor City, New Jersey

Great breakfast again. Well prepared, fresh ingredients, hot, and timely. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Dining area was updated and clean. Only displeasure would like more than one piece of toast. Also the 3% credit card fee is bogus read more

I was a huge Annette's fan , great breakfast and their dinners were outstanding. Went for breakfast a few times here ....its ok but they decided not only to have a Let's Go Brandon sticker on their delivery car but they play Fox on the TV . It's their right to do that but it's my right where to spend my hard earned money. read more

Wow! Had old-fashioned pepper egg, and cheese and potato on a seeded roll. Only finished half but brought the other half. My partner had eggs Benedict short rib. I'm actually going to get the same sandwich again for takeout right now!! I'm a full-time resident close by, this is the best I've eaten for breakfast, and prices are more than reasonable! read more

Delicious food, good prices, excellent service. More comfortable seating would be my suggestion.

Great service, but the food wasn't good at all. Wouldn't come back because of the food, but the people working were very sweet and friendly. The cheesesteak barely had any meat in it!

The ambiance is very clean and cozy, with ample indoor seating as well as outdoor seating to the side of the building. They have their own parking lot so you don't have to find street parking. While it gets busy here on the weekends, we came on a rainy day and were the only people inside for maybe 30 mins. Service was absolutely wonderful, and the menu is robust with ample options for vegetarians. Even the kids menu had delicious choices and not your standard fare, plus there was beautiful plating on the kids menu items too. My only issue is that there is a credit card surcharge that was captured on the receipt. When we paid, we paid in cash instead to avoid the surcharge, but the bill was not adjusted. read more

Still trash, do not eat here. The service is awful, the food is worse than expected, and even the atmosphere feels like it wants you to leave. Save your time and money for literally anywhere else, because this place is a disaster from start to finish. read more

I'd hate to go there if it were really busy. The place was about 3/4 full and the service was lousy and our food was not far from hot. The order was wrong... We finished by the time the correct fries arrived. Possibly the worst coffee ever. read more

My wife and I met some friends here to have breakfast. It is the shore so I expect prices to be higher than other locations so I did not think the pricing was out of line. The food was tasty. Since we had breakfast, refilling the coffee cups was one of our highest priorities and our server took good care of us. Since we hadn't seen our friends in a while we talked a long while after our food was eaten and we were not pressured to give up our table. I would go back again. read more

amazing new management, with great food! they're open for dinner and the food was super tasty.

I was informed the Dorset has yet again new owners? Not sure if this is true. What I do know the food and service still sucks. For breakfast to spend so much money, on eggs no less...is an experience which will not be repeated. The place just sucks read more

I mean talk about a cute and beach-y breakfast place. The decor and vibe of this restaurant is perfect for where it is located. Stepping into this place was such a breath of fresh air. It was not super crowded which was a surprise to us and it made for a very positive experience. The staff was attentive and efficient. The waitress was quick to take our order and happy to answer any questions we had. We each got an entree and I was insistent on getting a short stack of pancakes for the table which I did not regret. My friend got one of the avocado toasts and I got the short rib benedict, so I can attest that both of those options are top notch choices! I truly don't think you can go wrong here, I imagine it can be very crowded on the busy summer weekends but its worth the wait. read more

I was worried looking at the other reviews but found them to be untrue. Perhaps it was a seasonal issue but our breakfast was great. Sat down and was immediately greeted by a very nice server. Our food was delivered timely. The whitefish salad bagel was heaping. And delicious. Benedict's looked good, omelets just right. Great service. Still looks like Annette's but updated. Best of luck. Seems now season is over they are better organized and ready to deliver. read more

Service was not good. Never followed up after food was delivered. I could not get another cup of coffee, but others were served after I asked. Will not be back. read more

I got sat & waited like 20 minutes before anyone ever Noticed me . I didn't want to wait any longer so I left . read more

Great breakfast and lunch's. Room is quaint and bright. Service is superior with most staff you ng and attentive. Seasoned staff round out with experience and old world charm. read more

Worst customer service in the area. Very rude. The parking lot is a mess. The old man in the parking lot doesn't know his left from the right or how to manage the parking area. read more

Ridiculous price for 2 eggs w/sausage home fries and toast. Husband ordered without meat and charged the same. Sat outside and it was a barking fest. Three patrons brought their dogs. Not a very enjoyable breakfast to say the least. read more

Have waited to try the Dorset, after the Summer Rush.. heard a lot of good things about them... but I was alittle disappointed when I finally went... I don't understand why the Breakfast Speciality Restaurants think it ok to charge extravagant prices for their simple Breakfasts.. and the Dorset seems to be another that follows this new trend... small order of French toast, breakfast burrito, a coffee and hot tea, with Tip was $35..??? Service was good, food was good... but nothing extraordinary... guessing it's the new "way of the World" but it's easy to understand why the old Daily Breakfast get togethers are becoming extinct... can't keep charging higher prices and expect people to continue to pay it... read more

I love going there. My 4 year old daughter loves it too. Nice atmosphere and we always get great service. The food is really good too. I always go there all year round. read more

I get the same thing every time I go. Chicken Salad Sandwich on Rye with sweet potato fries. Always perfect! Love this place and the waitress LB always takes care of us. She has been there from before it was the Dorset. read more

Food was awesome! Pepper and Egg sandwich tasted like it came straight from south Philly. My kid loved the Nutella waffle and I loved the left overs. read more

Went there for a late breakfast today. The server (Elvia?) was friendly, prompt, and responsive, and the food was great (keep in mind it is off season and after the breakfast rush). I had a kippered salmon bagel which came with a nice serving of the salmon and all the fixings, and my friend spoke highly of her avocado toast with an egg on top. I saw none of the billing issues that others posted about. read more

We just finished having lunch at The Dorset. I don't write many reviews for restaurants but I felt compelled to this time. I had the Cobb salad. It was so fresh and delicious I really loved it. My husband had an omelette and he really enjoyed his lunch. But the clincher was our server. She was so friendly and helpful. Really lovely. A rarity these days. If you haven't tried The Dorset yet you really should. read more

They're slick here for sure. Paid cash. But the menu said $12 for an egg breakfast. However when the check came they charge $12.42. The $.42 is the 3 1/2% they'd charge if you use a credit card. But we did not. Nor did the check change when we paid with cash. Plus - the eggs are SMALL. One piece of toast. This was our second experience. Shame on us. But we thought we'd give them a second chance. DONE!!!! read more

Had the BEST breakfast in recent memory at The Dorset. Beyond delicious omelette, upgraded menu, with the basics and more sophisticated options, Our party of six loved every choice. Charming and newly renovated interior and immaculately clean. Great service too. Not your average shore breakfast place. Thank you! read more

Hi I am a customer that has been in the Dorset multiple times and know quite a few people who work there and I just have the say the food is good, but the treatment that the owners give their staff is completely out of line and uncalled for. I have heard many things from other people about how they do not feed their staff and have heard many say that they are so hungry while working there. More specifically I have heard the owner Bobby yell and treat the employees not nice at all. I have heard things about Alexa the other owner giving the employees bad treatment. The business they are running is very unprofessional. read more

Whoever is running the dorset needs a course on restaurant management. You dont have people waiting outside in 90 degree weather for over 20 minutes because the kitchen is backed up when the restaurant is empty. You stagger people in. The food isnt worth the wait. The only saving grace was the hostess who was getting yelled at by customers because of her boss' poor choices. read more

While the meal was pretty good, the wait was awful. My husband, who is diabetic, got so sick he had to leave before we got our food, which was the one thing he needed to feel better. It was chaotic and not well organized. People who looked like owners were present but not doing anything beyond hugs and handshakes with their friends. Someone who worked in the kitchen was standing around talking to waitresses while we all waited for our food. Never got a coffee refill. Or water. Waited forever for a check and a box. I hope that they get it together and can be a long-standing neighborhood spot but they clearly have a ways to go unfortunately. read more

If I could give the dorset negative stars I would. I am local in ventnor and have been to the dorset two times now. My first two experience were not good at all. I went back the second time to give it another shot. I do not recommend going there and would never go back. We were a table for 4 and waited 30 minutes to be seated when they had tables available. I have worked in a the resturant industry for many years so I know works. However after being seated I then waited another 30 minutes for my food to come out cold. My waitress was phenomenal and very attentive and apologetic. She brought out the manager to discuss the situation, waiting for a simple apology she blamed it on the waitress and was nothing but ignorant and rude. After speaking with management our waitress went inside; the dorset is not too big so we could hear what was being said, screaming and cuss words were being said to our waitress. The way they talk to their staff I'm shocked they have employees still working for them. Great staff who work to their best potential, horrible management. I do not recommend going there and will never go back myself. Decided to write on google and yelp for everyone to be informed! read more

Prices are outrageous. They're going to have a BIG problem when they find out that the previous owners gave liberal discounts to regular customers. Better get there fast while they're still in business. Ventnor Heights food at Longport prices. read more
