About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    Seems like every time we come here, our food order is either wrong or something is forgotten. So inconsistent. We took a break from coming here because is was occurring so frequently, well we were reminded last night why we stopped coming…..Also, we were there for my husbands birthday and we didn’t even stay for desert. Disappointing to say the least….

    We were two couples and had four diferent sandwiches from the lunch menu. Both the Chicken Salad Club and the Chicken Caesar sandwich that my Wife and I had were delicious. Waitress was cordial and attentive. Service was timely. View outside to pond was serene. Hostess graciously took a group photo for us in the lobby area. The entire experience was top notch in every respect!

    Our server was Laura, she recommended a drink that was excellent. She was delightful and very attentive. Our lunch was excellent as always. The young man who assisted was also excellent. Finished dishes were cleared quickly. Also the front desk girls are always very kind and attentive. Still a favorite ❤️
