Best part about Seaside from the food, drinks (Tipsy Mermaid!), service, bands, VIP seating, beach seating, Adirondacks, atmosphere, ocean front and more!

Does anyone even care? Service - awful. Food - awful. Time to get food - awful. Attitude of staff - awful. Prices - expensive. Whoever is in charge should be let go. The space is nice. Oh what it could be.

Definitely an Ocean view, but uncomfortable seating... Cold temperatures inside off season so just be aware of that and bundle up a bit.Food was definitely good and portions for the starters were very adequate. You could essentially get a bunch of starters and have a small plate meal. That would be really wonderful. The entrees were great and the waitress suggestions were on point. Definitely a solid experience.

My people and I enjoy going there. Lately however there hasn’t been enough staff. The staff that are there are extremely nice but after sitting waiting for service for too long I’m not sure I’m going to go back

Was here when it first opened and then again recently. Obviously they have stopped trying. The food was poor. Steak tips burnt, thai calamari soft, rubbery and smelled, flatbreads embarrassingly bad. Drinks were no better. Served in plastic cups and out of almost everything. Location and entertainment was the only saving grace. What an embarrassment, wow have they gone straight downhill.

Ocean View's shortribs, pizza, burgers were all excellent! They must have fired the original chef, reworked the menu, and served some amazing food on 2/17/24. Very impressed and can't wait to return.

Awful experience from the start. Waitress promptly came to the table with water & took out drink order. I ordered wine and my husband a gin & tonic. After a significant wait the drinks arrived and my husband immediately knew his was club soda and not tonic. After a wait the waitress returned and my husband explained. The waitress returned quite a bit later with a replacement drink...still club soda. At this point we suggested to the waitress that perhaps the tonic syrup was out. Again we waited for a replacement....and, club soda once again. At this point the waitress said to order something different because the bar tender won't make the drink again. So after 30 minutes and 3 incorrectly made drinks my husband finally received a different type of drink. And, all of the drinks were served in plastic cups, come on, if we wanted plastic we could have gone to any of the other places on the boardwalk. As far as the food goes, we both ordered off the specials menu. No appetizers, just a main course for each of us. It took over an hour for the food to arrive! My husband ordered crab cakes that were ok. I ordered heart shaped ravioli in bolognese sauce. Why bother with heart shape ravioli if it is served in a lump in a bowl? If I didn't look I never would have known. And they were all stuck together. We weren't the only ones encountering problems with food quality and amount of time to receive it. This place needs someone to manage it!

The prime rib, pasta, and vegetables in the pans were cold and not enjoyable. They had the small buffet table right next to the door which could be part of the reason why all the food was cold. It was an extremely disappointing (almost $100) dinner. I will not be returning.

My family and I recently visited ocean view for brunch with Santa and it was a phenomenal experience. Couldn’t be any happier! The restaurant is filled with friendly employees in all areas and an absolute beautiful view of the water. Definitely recommend visiting and we will be back soon. Awesome job!!!!!!

Hands down most comical and embarrassing first impression I’ve ever had of a restaurant. Took my kids for brunch with Santa and he was the only person we saw for some time. No hostess to greet us so we kept walking until I finally asked a bartender where we can get a seat as we reserved one. After waiting for our drinks for some time we then had to ask if we just go up and get food as not a single person said a word us. As an added bonus the fire alarm had gone off two times while we were attempting to get food!!! Now my favorite part, when heading to the line with my son for food the man cooking is shouting F bombs and yelling how he has no help, as it seemed he was frustrated and busy we went around to what should have been the buffet trays. At the buffet trays all of them were empty and had crumbs. At this point the cook was still going on and I decided it was time to leave with my three young children and wife. If this is how they handle business good luck, can’t comment on the food because it didn’t exist.

Very disappointed. Dinner at the bar with a bartender paying no attention to her customers because she was too busy drinking with her friends. Took over 30 minutes for our food because she forgot to go get it so our salad came out with our entrees. The deboned chicken was full of bones and flavor wasn'tgreat for $32. On the bright side the Playlist was on point.

We went to Ocean View for their Tuesday night burger special at the bar (from 4 to 6). The burgers and fries were delicious and there's a Happy Hour price on some of the drinks. Also, nice view and good bartender.

I had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and very attentive, offering answers to all of my questions. I came in because it was a Saturday and they had plenty of TVs to watch college football. Once I was here I decided to get a Lobster Roll and man was it goood!! I usually never eat my fries but these had a perfect amount of crispy and seasoning. I definitely recommend.
