    Maureen Hancock Psychic Medium show. Lady on right in front of me looked very uncomfortable.

    Good venue for a show but lousy chairs. Im not overweight or huge but the chairs are uncomfortable. Many people seemed uncomfortable or were constantly shifting in their seats. The poor obese lady in front of me kept holding her back with both arms and sitting back on her arms to alleviate her discomfort. This venue could be so much better if everyone was comfy. Intimate crowd experience is nice. Security seemed hostile towards patrons waiting for their group using the restrooms after the show.

    Last row seats. Thanks Ticket Master!

    This is the first time here since Covid. Very disappointing the usher put us in the wrong row which was very confusing. But there was so much disruption people moving from row to row we never got to enjoy the opening act. It was so crowded it was in comfortable. We'll I guess if you're late getting tickets you just have to put up with shitty seats....

    One of the best rooms on the coast to see any live band! Great seating, comfortable atmosphere and fantastic staff. If you haven't been to a show here, what are you waiting for? You will not be disappointed!

    No dance floor or general admission area. Not fun to watch a band play and sit at a table the whole time. Disappointing.

    It's a beautiful venue, but it is too cramped and the waitress service is horrendous.

    The venue is amazing and all of their rooms overlooked Salisbury beach, we instantly fell in love.

    This is a relatively new restaurant and I expect will improve in time. I do hope so as the location…read moreis nice, the room has been redone nicely, and the food was good, but service was slow and spotty. I think they just don't have enough servers. We arrived just after our friends who advised they had already ordered their drinks. Our waitress arrived promptly and took our drink order and then vanished. No drinks for quite some time. A manager came over to ask if anybody had visited us, apologized for the delay, and returned with our drinks. I'm estimating it was a bit over 30 minutes or so before drinks arrived. Our waitress did return, apologized and took our food order. I wasn't so sure about ordering sushi, but glad we did. The maki we tried were very good, fresh and beautifully presented. A great start. We switched gears for our entree and went with a parpadelle bolognese. A nice generous portion that was as good as some of the Italian spots in the area. Our friends also enjoyed their dishes. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. I would easily have given 4 stars, but the service needs improvement. You would need to plan to spend at least a couple of hours for a lunch. In our case it was not a big deal as we were enjoying time with friends, but I can understand the other negative reviews now. We do plan to return to work our way deeper into the menu, and hope they will have more staff to help with the front of the house.

    This wasn't our first visit to this place; we had visited once before and sat on the patio (during…read morewinter, so it was sealed up like a cozy igloo). Knowing the drill, we were prepared to valet the car, which is definitely a downside since it slows down the whole getting-in-and-out process. We made our way to the host stand and were greeted warmly. We asked for seating for three (husband, wife, and child) and were led to a table along the outside of the bar. It was a great window seat but definitely on the louder side. Not an issue for us, but if you're bringing someone who's hard of hearing or just doesn't like noise, consider this a heads-up. Our waitress came over to take our drink order immediately, and we placed our food order shortly after. We started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer. I ordered the Poke Bowl, my husband went for the Mac & Cheese, and our son ordered the same from the kids' menu. Drinks took a while to arrive. When the appetizer came, I noticed my utensils were sticky and asked for a new set. This took wayyyyy longer than it should have. She literally went and gathered some drinks from the bar and delivered them before getting me the utensils. The appetizer was tasty but lacked the sriracha kick we expected from the description (though I honestly preferred them this way). Our meals arrived, and I noticed mine was very small but delicious. My husband's dish was missing the chicken and prosciutto and was really dry. Our son's dish had chicken on the side (a good idea) because he didn't like the pasta, calling it "dry and weird" (his words). My husband asked for a side of cheese and the missing chicken and prosciutto. He only got the chicken and cheese (at this point, we let the prosciutto go). We ordered a second round of drinks but should have ordered them as soon as the first round arrived because the meal was pretty much done by the time we got the second round. In the end, we skipped dessert and paid the check. The lackluster personality of our waitress didn't help things. We handed in the valet tag with payment (as instructed) and still waited over 10 minutes for our car by the time we got to the parking lot. Overall, this place has promise but still needs some work before it can capitalize on the summer traffic. If they can't figure it out, I fear it won't last like many of their predecessors. Fingers crossed for them because I do think they can be wonderful!

    Arrived into Salisbury around 8:15 after a storm had come through and everything was shutting down…read more Walked into SurfSide and we could tell they were about 1 minute from walking out that door and ending their shift, but the AMAZING staff saw the weary traveler look in our eyes and said "we got you! Sit anywhere you would like" We had the crispy calamari which was amazing! Even the peppers were fried and my husband was loving that. (The picture isn't the full order because I forgot to take it before we dug in) The sauce it came with was very delicious as well. Of course we ordered the Lobstah roll and 10/10 highly recommend. We chose the warm roll and it came with a hearty serving of French fries, a pickle spear, and Cole slaw. We left full and happy thanks to the wonderful server/bartender, manager, and cooks who were willing to stay on for the extra hour just to serve two customers.

    Overpriced food and drinks at a place right next to the beach? Not shocking at all, I knew what I…read morewas getting into. And honestly I was really impressed with the back deck area, a pretty good amount of seating and a straight view of the ocean. The food actually was pretty good. But the service, like the other reviews I am now reading agree with, is this place's downfall. You seat yourself, then it takes 30 minutes for someone to comes over. The table wasn't wiped down between groups so we had a visually dirty table. Need menus? Okay 20 minutes after you sit down and then they will disappear for another 20 getting those for you. Then hand them too you and disappear for another 20 and at this point you have decided not only your drink but your entire meal because you have been sitting with the meal for so long. A cocktail, lemonade and water? You guessed it, another 20 minutes. It was like this the entire time. After we got our drinks, it genuinely took 40 minutes for the waitress to come back over to get our food order. It was insane?!! She was nice when she was there but as soon as we finished talking she ran off again before we could ask for refills or where the bathroom was. We were f u l l y ignored and ended up having to spend over two hours for what was supposed to be a quick beach day early dinner. We were starving by the time we got our food and were all pretty hangry. Tiny drinks, my friend's $14 drink was mostly ice and a massive orange slice, like two sips of drink in there. Got elote dip, which was actually pretty good but it came in a cup??? Like a drink cup? (Pictured here) so you couldn't dip your chip in??!? Like just a badly set up business. And had a small handful of chips, not enough for even our small party (3). They need a full overhaul of their system. I saw plenty of servers and the restaurant was a little less than 3/4 full, can't imagine how they operate when at capacity. In summary, not going to go back because nothing was there was worth my money. As a local, just eat at home or bring a picnic if you are visiting. (The only thing on the boardwalk worth the money is trying the "beach pizza") Upset about my $120 down the drain.
