   The chef did a great job in food prep - service was quick and friendly - drinks were tasty - it is definately a spot for the 20's thru 40's age group - very spacious and did not feel over-crowded

   My group of 10 went for dinner at 7:15 on a Saturday evening for dinner before the club scene started. We had ample space and attentive service. The food was good--nothing fancy, just hearty American fare. We really enjoyed the specialty drinks. Overall, a very nice experience.

   You sit at a plastic table and have a view of a burned out pier. Basicly a college hang out type of place. Fine for what it is, but a disappointment to us

   We weren't impressed with this place. Parking was difficult, food was not that good, and overly expensive (Lobster roll was $15 and didn't come with any sides besides a small cup of coleslaw). Perhaps we hit them on an "off" day, but it was a Friday and it wasn't really packed. They had plenty of staff (young women) walking around but we didn't get our order in for at least 10 minutes, and then when I order arrived there was still no utensils. It took another 5 minutes for them to locate a fork... A FORK!! Things that should have been at our table without asking, but required us to ask: napkins, utensils, a working salt shaker. Adding to all this the location isn't that nice... the "bay" near the deck is backed up with trash.

   Very disappointed, only a few tables and the bar have the view they promote on their site. Service was awful, we waited about 20 min after being seated for a waitress, mind you the place was relatively empty, waitress said the hostess admitted she forgot to tell her. The wrong food was bought out, some food was forgotten altogether and the drinks are way OVERPRICED! $9 is too much for cheap wine, and it was definitely not quality wine! The bill was wrong. A group of 8 ordering entrees and drinks was placed in the back of the restaurant, near the street and behind about 20 open tables to make room for those who "might" come for $1 hot dog night...what??? Management thinks that's more important than a group that ultimately spent over $200?

   This my first time at this restaurant and because it was on penns landing, I expected a nice environment. But the ambience was a bit depressing. The restaurant is in need of a makeover asap. I ordered the cheesesteak spring rolls as an appetizer, they were good. I also ordered a chicken Caesar salad and I was disappointed. It just didn't taste right, I didn't care for the dressing. My daughter enjoyed her sliders and fries, so I wasn't totally disappointed. Maybe it's better at night, I don't know. The server was nice and helpful enough.

   Food was good but not great. French frys were excellent but the slaw had a strange taste. Hamburgers were dry but still tasty. Waitress did not tell us of the specials for the day, only found out about them when we overheard another table's order. Deck and view were very nice. Would have been better if we had some shade.
