    The food was great as Always and our waitress was a gem. She went out of her way to be wonderful and we genuinely appreciated that. We had an odd and embarrassing experience during seating. I had a reservation but asked about the high tops. We were told the high tops and booths were first come first serve... So we took a seat at a booth. Within seconds staff, including a young, long haired female manager were at our table, insisting we move immediately. We didn't lol... it was our anniversary and I had a reservation. Luckily the hostess came over to quell the situation, telling the unfriendly and insistent manager that we had a reservation. The entire thing was strange, why are the booths THAT important where 3 ppl including a manager harass a couple in an otherwise fairly empty restaurant? Others were seated at the booths - were they harassed as well? We dine here at least once a week & went last night specifically to show our support given the unfortunate situation that occured at the restaurants concert the night before. We will be returning, and we will be sitting in a booth next time as well. If this happens again, the manager will be called out loudly, then and there. It was my anniversary, so I sat quietly while were treated very nastily last night - please know that won't be the case if this happens again, the manager will be treated and spoken to in a reciprocal manner. Embarrassing your regular customers for no reason by surrounding the table & insisting they "move immediately" on their anniversary is a bad look. Next time the young, immature, long haired female manager feels the needs to mouth off without even asking if we have a reservation, I'll be mouthing off louder. Thank you for embarrassing my husband and I on our anniversary. I hope it was worth the power trip

    OpenTable gave me options to book a table until 11:30. I booked one at 11:00. I got there at 10:55 and the person sitting me said “just so you know, the kitchen closes at 11:00”. She sat us down and took our food order quickly, and then we looked at the wine list. It felt a little rushed but the service and the food were great. The other thing was they had a two person (I think?) band. They were too loud for this place and after they ended and were breaking down their gear, the guy (I think in falsetto) kept singing the whole time we were eating, which was only 20 minutes at that time, but it was a cringeworthy 20. Advice to OpenTable: get the timings right. advice to McLoones: just have a nice piano player without vocals and turn it down!!!

    Mc Loone’s happens to be one of my favorite places to go to always a guaranteed good meal and fantastic service. Their ambience is amazing. Never disappointed going there. Can’t wait to go back again.

    Just "meh" is how the dining experience, food and service is at this location. Being right on the boardwalk with ocean views from the dining room is the most positive thing I can say. Service is was slow (was 6pm on a Tuesday night, maybe 6-8 tables being served), took over 15 minutes to be acknowledged by our server, appetizers were small-sized portions, and the entrees were overcooked and tasted bland (steak and crab cakes). If you want more of a bar experience, complete with the noise, then you'll probably like this place. The unfortunate part was this visit was to celebrate a special event, but the experience was anything but. This is one local who crosses McLoone's Pier House off the list.

    We came to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary (which was noted on reservation and an allergy for nuts) and sadly neither one was mentioned or concerned. We arrived at 445pm and there were only 6 people at the bar; excluding our family of 6. We ordered drinks, sushi, daily bread ($6 of hard bread), and 4 entrees and 2 kids meals. Our server was nice and didn’t rush. However, we would have liked her to come around more often for refills on our drinks. We had to stop other people. Our entrees had French fries and ketchup should have been offered but nothing was. Definitely some training on the staff who deliverers the food if that that there job. The steak was over cooked, and sadly my mom wasn’t able to enjoy to our meal with the rest of the family. The chef came out to apologize for the mistake. By the time her food came, we were done. Once her food was sent back, we hardly saw our waitress until the bill. By the time we left around 7, there were 4 people in the bar and 2 other tables. For it being slow, the service and food quality was poor. We did speak to the manager who was nice regarding the situation and there was discount provided, but personally one should have been given without inquiring as great customer service recovery. The server didn’t even apologize for the situation which is definitely sad. Overall, nice restaurant, would go back for Spicy Crab Roll and the kids meals and drinks - rest of it disappointing.

    My hamburger had pieces of cartilage! I could not eat it and was too late to ask for another dish since I almost had half of it.

    This was the first time I dined at McLoone’s Pier House with a party of five. I definitely expected a decent meal. Don’t get me wrong, the ambience was great, Service was excellent, but the food was awful. Only if you’re drunk, go there to eat. Everything was subpar. Extremely disappointed. Every entrée we ordered was overdone and dry and some of it may have been spoilt. My friend and my husband, both was sick after the meal.
