Our server Marjaun (sp??) was phenomenal. We enjoyed talking to him about his home countries of Italy and Croatia. He was so knowledgeable about wine and food. Pamela, the hostess, was so friendly and kind. Food was delicious - steaks were cooked perfectly. Great experience!! We can’t wait to go back!

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.
