There are TONS of great places to eat at the Jersey Shore. This place IS NOT one of them. We asked to sit inside, assuming it would be cooler than outside. We were seated upstairs and it was hot! Looked through the menu and decided on drinks. No waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on an appetizer. Still no waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on our entres. Still no waitress. After about 15 minutes (and that's a long time to wait to place a drink order) we went downstairs and out to the bar area outside. It was cooler out there. The waitress actually showed up. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian. Tasty drink but not strong. Since I didn't catch a buzz off the first, I begrudgingly (and I say that because of the price) ordered a second. Still no buzz. My husband had 2 CoronaRitas and was very happy with them. We ordered the buffalo chicken nachos. There was no kick to the buffalo sauce. Absolutely lousy. My husband got the Mediterranean salad and was pleased (not too hard to mess that one up). My son got the 5 mile panini and said it was good. I got the blackened tuna (it's a sandwich with a tuna steak). The tuna was WAY over cooked. The menu said cooked to medium, which is even too well done for tuna in my opinion. It was not cooked to medium. It was cooked to well. Yuck! Tuna should be medium rare (or rare! Yum!! Sashimi!). It was SO overly seasoned with Okd Bay that I had to scrape off the back of the steak just to eat it, which I could barely manage. Our meals came with crinkle fries that were more bland than fries that come with school lunch. Then the bill. 4 drinks, 1 app, 3 sandwiches came to a whopping $109! I don't mind paying good money for a great meal, or even a good meal but I was so disappointed that I regretted not stopping for a $1 slice of pizza a couple blocks down (it's actually really good). Horrible service (inside anyway), lousy food, and WAY overpriced.
