Service was good with the waiter always checking in and on top of things. Food was amazing! Seafood tower with oysters, clams and shrimp was the favorite of the table, very fresh and flavorful seafood. The whole table (party of 6) had fish and one order of lobster tails, and everyone left very happy with their dishes. From the filets to the whole fish, everything was very good and tasty. Would come back any time

Our third time visiting, this time as a group of 8. Food is good overall, service remains…read morehorrendous. Our waiter did not come to take our order until a good 35-40 minutes after sitting, not a huge deal but a notable delay. What irritated me during dinner was we were asked if we'd like dessert while 2 people were still eating their meals, followed by the check immediately arriving- no etiquette. While paying and wrapping up the staff were directed to clear the table, this was obvious. For full drinks to be removed without asking is unacceptable. It was as if we weren't even sitting there the manner they were clearing. Again it was obvious the direction of the manager, they needed the table. Try being efficient to start instead of creating a rush at the end if overbooked and delayed. It's classier than putting a check on a table with people eating and rudely clearing drinks. Will not be returning. There is better up the road with real management and service.

I could definitely see spending the day at the beach and walking over here for dinner afterward. They also seem to have events almost every day, plus an outdoor bar across from the beach, which looked like it would be a lot of fun. The food was good overall. We had the lobster ravioli, and while the sauce was just okay, the lobster filling was incredibly fresh and made up for it. I also had the filet. The steak itself wasn't the best I've ever had, but the herb butter on top really brought it together and made it worth ordering. We also shared the boardwalk fries and the Brussels sprouts, and both were excellent. The drinks were well made too. Overall, it wasn't the best meal we've ever had, but it was definitely a good one. Between the location, atmosphere, and solid food and drinks, we'd absolutely come back the next time we're in the area.

Many people enjoy the interaction that we engage in at the post office, the gas station, the barber shop, the butcher, the fruit store, etc. Here there seems to be a very definite history of the great staff members moving on, sometimes with little or no notice, and it has impacted the comfort level for me, and for many of the people who also frequented the store. The product has been good, at times excellent, but the overall experience has been greatly diminished by some real nice people who were employed there leaving. I don't feel the same joy supporting a business that seems to have a pattern of upsetting what appears to be excellent employees, and this is by no means a negative statement on the new people who come in to replace the one's who leave. I sure the new ones are very nice too. It all just creates this sense of sadness and negativity about and towards the ownership and overall establishment. I guess in life some of us reach an age, or a point, where what we put in our body has to do with more than the food itself. It connects to the vibe, the humanity factor, the trust, etc. I have stopped going to Local 130 after the last person left, almost without exception. And I am a customer who was there a minimum of once a week for several years.

It was early Sunday night and the bar was full but the dining area wasn't so we stayed in the bar. Service was excellent, the bartender came around and made sure we were comfortable, handed us menus and brought water. She told us the specials and shortly after our server came by. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of seafood on the menu. My picky girlfriend would have enjoyed some flounder or scallops but they only had a seared salmon and blacked shrimp. The Mrs. Got a burger and it was adequate, nothing to write home about. I got the chicken parm and it was ample and terrific. The tomato sauce was stellar! Sadly I wanted the scallops with risotto. This place has potential, the service is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, plus I know the chef has the chops from visiting his last place, the red store in Navasink. We'll be back but I'll be sure to check for seafood offerings before I go.
