    "There will be a 20% convenience fee for credit cards left overnight. Thank you."
    Mike C.

    This bar has become over run with biker clubs. Once they arrive you are guaranteed not to get service. The bar also has signs posted that say if your credit card is left overnight, you will be automatically charged 20%. Which is fine. However, the past two times we have been there. We are charged 20% gratuity regardless if we use cash or card and I looked this up and it is illegal for an establishment to do this. Being that we have never had at 20% service I feel the need to complain, if the service was great, this would not be an issue. However, they are not earning their tips, they ignore their guests, knowing that they will be getting 20% regardless of what they do. This past time we went I ordered the wings and tostones, I asked for them to include three sauces when I got my bill I realized I was charged 80¢ for each one. I'm confused since when do wings not come with any sauce?? We have been regular customers for two years now and have even supported their contributions to fight cancer by purchasing eight koozies over the last two years and after this time, we were finally able to bring two home since the previous seasons were "disposed" of by staff.

    This place was expensive, and the service was AWFUL. The bartender acted like we were an imposition. Go to Villari's instead.

    This place is a hidden jewel! An Oasis in the middle of SJ. More than just a can beer joint. Food is good.

    Loved the tiki bar type of feel. However, the drinks were extremely overpriced & the food was horrible. Small potions & overpriced.

    Great place for happy hr and if you want to sit outside on a nice evening for a date or catching up…read morewith your friends Inside the Ac is on blast. The menu is very unique and yet straight forward if you like cauliflower or chicken nuggets. Portions not too big but still can get you full. Recommend coming around more often filling water :) we're downing them quite fast in this weather

    What a cool bar. The vibe is tiki-inspired with a big bar, swanky seating and creative cocktails…read more Right away I was impressed by the menu which looks like a treasure map, perfectly playing into the tiki theme. I've never seen this before and thought it was so creative. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable for what you're getting - about $15 for expertly crafted cocktails. I can't for the life of me remember the exact names of what we ordered but I was especially impressed with my second drink which was mezcal based and came with a hollowed out lime containing peppercorns which was then set on fire! The toasted peppercorn notes paired very well with the rest of the drink. I'm not usually one to enjoy mezcal but I actually really liked this drink. I was really surprised and impressed by that. Their happy hour is pretty solid too with $9 select drinks, $5 snacks (including the curly fries), and $9 sandwiches. We also ordered curly fries because why not and they were amazing. I'd definitely return in the future to try more food and more drinks.

When the delivered food wasn't quite right, she quickly got a replacement. She is a wonderful server and has been there for years. Live band was really good today. Overall, we think the food (we've had fish tacos and cheesesteaks) is even better this year. Their french fries are to die for--you're crazy if you don't get them. Only downside is the greatly increased price of the lump crab, but I guess that's economic reality.

    Food was great! Atmosphere a bit dated…read more We dined with you guys and sat near a table of 2 men and a child that were not very nice to the waitress. The waitress handled herself with such grace and kindness after the man continued to give her a hard time. Later, I listened as he requested for her to ask the manager to take off a percentage for him being he was a veteran. After she walked away, they started laughing and the one guy said, you're too much. It was clear that he wasn't being honest. He certainly wasn't a veteran and sadly the couple we were with has a son serving in the military. Unfortunately, this man took advantage of this opportunity and I was upset to see that someone would lie about serving our country. I did compliment the waitress for handling that table with dignity after being treated so poorly. She did say they honored a 10% off discount for him and it wasn't warranted because he lied. Kudos to your wait staff for dealing with rude customers and liars.

    It has been a few years since my initial review of The Point. I gave this location four stars and,…read morein the years since, it has definitely a solid place for visitors and locals alike. Here are the positives: 1. The menu: They have a very extensive drink menu, with plenty of cocktails, including margaritas, canned drinks, and other specialty drinks. I wish they would serve more mocktails, but that's just me. 2. The atmosphere: This is an excellent place to enjoy the bayside views and hear live music, and it's even on a sunny day. 3. The service: This location has plenty of staff on hand, but you may have to flag someone down if it's busy. The food and drinks here are very good and compliment the atmosphere very well. I will say there are a couple of downsides: Cover charge: If you want to come here on the weekend, be prepared to pay at the door. The cost to come here is $5 per person, and while that may be alright for those who are vacationing here, it can become quite costly for locals. I really wish places like this offered a seasonal pass then I'd be back much more often. One of the more negative experiences I had was using the bathroom. I did have an incident at the Somers Point location where I locked the bathroom door and a member of their staff walked in on me and, at one point, banged a broom against the window. I'm not sure if any of their locations have some type of bathroom policy, but it didn't seem quite professional and felt very awkward. If you plan on using the bathroom here, make sure the door if completely locked.

    Food not so great and drinks bad. 12 people and no one could taste any alcohol in their drink…read more Would not waste your money on a drink here.
