Restaurant Review

Atlantic City's oldest restaurant and an institution, serves up good, fresh sea food.

Located away from the bustling casinos, you can drive up with free parking and enjoy dining in a relaxed environment.

The dining experience is old world charm, with a small dining area done up with dark wood. On busy evenings it tends to get noisy. They have a good oyster raw bar.

They have a good variety of traditional seafood dishes and are especially noted for their soft-shell crabs, lobster and seafood platters.

However, be prepared to wait for a table.

The service is friendly, however during peak times it can be inconsistent.
