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.

    The food was very good. I had the rack of lamb, which had 8 chops with goat cheese mashed potato and grilled asparagus. My wife had the scallops which were also very good. We took out our deserts which we will have tonight with our leftovers. Not to forget, the service was efficient and unobtrusive.
