Bar staff was really kind, but the prices and the bathroom situation are reason enough to dock a star. They will have two rotating frozen drinks and then a full bar of other fun options. Overall a really fun vibe and SO glad we had the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day here with views of the beach.

They have a water cooler and free water which was much appreciated. Had to drive so didn't have any drinks but many happy patrons enjoying the tunes.

3.5 stars I had seen…read morepictures of On the Deck courtesy of a few friends that had been to the restaurant and bar on the harbor. It always looked like such a cool place, and I had been really interested in checking it out. I finally made it there the other day, after a brief afternoon at a local beach. When we arrived around 6:30 pm on that Friday evening, we could see that the back deck was very full and that the parking lot was also close to capacity. We were able to, thankfully, grab a spot and walked over to the restaurant, climbing the stairs to the second floor where we met the hostess. We were told that the wait for outdoor seating was 40-minutes, while indoors was 30-minutes. Glancing around, the inside dining room was casual and nautically-themed. The tables and bar were bustling. The balcony was just as busy, but offered live music, so we determined that it would be worth waiting the additional time and added our name to the list. In the meantime, we decided to hang by the outdoor bar but were unable find a spot. Thankfully, a duo was vacating one of the few high-top tables in the bar section, which were first-come, first-serve. We grabbed that table and settled in to watch the beautiful sunset over the boats docked in the harbor. The staff and the few patrons we encountered during our visit were all very friendly, which only emphasized the laidback vibe of the waterside venue. The food, however, was mediocre at best. When our dinner was delivered, we did not receive any silverware, so we had to grab that from the bar, which was also from where we had placed our order. I had requested the Pan-Seared Salmon, which was well-cooked and served with thin stalks of asparagus, dry jasmine rice, and a huge amount of buttery garlic herb sauce. It made sense that the fish was served in a bowl, because there was so much greasy butter that it would have leaked all over if it was on a flat plate. Thankfully, the bartender had given me a few side plates, so I was able to move my food out of the oily bowl. My friend also had some issues with her meal. Her cup of New England Clam Chowder was flavorful, but watery and mostly broth. Her Fried Flounder Sandwich was heavily breaded and served with an unripe tomato and mushy, oily fries. From a beverage perspective, they had surprisingly interesting cocktails, but I was thrilled to see my favorite beer, Kane Head High, on tap. We simply loved the view, live acoustic tunes from P.D. Brody, and the overall relaxing atmosphere. However, we felt that the food could have been better executed. The menu offered all kinds of seafood and higher-end bar food, but the preparation left something to be desired.

The service was prompt and attentive, though it did feel a bit rushed at times, as if they were trying to move things along quickly. The drinks were nicely made and enjoyable, clearly showing care in the cocktails themselves. However, the experience would be much more complete with a food menu. Even a small selection of bites would complement the drinks and encourage guests to stay longer. Overall, it's a solid spot with great potential, especially if they expand the offerings beyond cocktails.

There are 3 areas at The Columns- the bar area with seating on the right side once you enter. Dinning area to the left is cash only and grab and go foods and drinks! Sliders, fries. We were seated on the porch for dinner! Food was tasty! Enjoyed my Painkiller cocktail! After dinner, we went to the bar and listen to the band. Great night catching up with my cousins and friends. Prices were actually really reasonable for a coastal restaurant! The Columns located across the street from the boardwalk and beach of Spring Lake! Loved the boards with saying throughout The Columns located across! Gorgeous stained glass windows in the staircase! Would definitely return!!

My wife and I visited The Columns and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more We sat at the bar and ordered both food and drinks. While the atmosphere was nice and we enjoyed the setting, the service from the bartender made us feel extremely uncomfortable. We were repeatedly ignored and had to go out of our way just to get her attention and receive basic service. What was particularly troubling was watching the difference between how we were treated and how other customers were treated. Based on our experience and those interactions, my wife and I both felt that we were being treated differently because of our race. I don't make that accusation lightly, but the disparity in service was noticeable enough that we both left with the same impression. It's unfortunate because the location and atmosphere have a lot going for them. We came there expecting to have an enjoyable evening together, not to feel unwelcome or as though we had to repeatedly work to get the bartender to serve us. Management should take experiences like this seriously. Every customer should receive the same level of courtesy, attention, and professionalism regardless of their race or background.
