I'm looking forward to coming here for brunch next time around.

Overall rating: 4.5…read more Note this review is from a July 2025 visit. A must visit whenever I'm in Coney Island. I've been here 3-4 times and it never disappoints. A tad too expensive for Coney Island but the drinks are so strong. If you're by yourself the smaller ounce is fine but expect a small cup. If you're with a group just go for the larger size.

Good spot to score a cold tasty frozen margarita…read more All kinds of flavors. Full bar here too. Some tables inside, some out front, and a side area with plenty of picnic tables. There's also a taco bar outside here too and another small frozen drink stand by the street. One of the better spots for frozen drinks if you can stumble upon it as it's hidden in an alley on the side of Luna Park. Oh, and the drinks are strong! Perfecto!

We ordered out drinks first and I asked for the Mai Tai to please swap rum for tequila . He said he would ask. The cones back with some S.... and really fake story . I asked him is your bartender new? Over whelmed that he can't do it? And he stumbled with his excuse i asked to speak to the manager . When manager came and gave the excuse with to many people arrived at same time WHICH was a lie since I looked right over his shoulder and game him the bs Look. He then said we ordered a specified amount of things for the drinks and alcohol we have in hand . I said okay forget it . Later on he said here you go we made one for you and it's free of charge realized they were not doing things how they should have been. We ordered the food and that started to come. The burger was highly recommended. Bronzino was really good ( flavors / doneness/ the look and just perfect) The lobster escargot was great as well perfect amount of garlic and nice chunks of lobster as well. The toast were cheap and just wonder bread like . And I like to dip my bread . And the burger was the biggest waste of 26$ for a burger . The burg e bun was triple the size of the burger itself.they ask you how would you want your burger cooked but the burger is too thin to be cooked to anything but well done. I didn't order a bun I ordered a burger . And a pimple piece of lettuce, 4 pickles , cheese ans suace. I wouldn't come back there again . Maybe just drinks

If you're ever in Coney Island and looking for a solid spot to grab a bite and a drink, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We were…read moreexpecting really cold ac but it didn't seem like it was working at full capacity, so there were fans which we sat next to, to cool off. As you walk in it was like a scene from bar rescue no lie lol The floors were sticky and there was gum on our table. We hesitated and decided to just try it because we don't like seafood and honestly there wasn't much around there unless you went towards the boardwalk and it was hot. My young daughter for the grill cheese kids meal. They didn't even let the cheese melt . She seemed not to have a problem with it. The fries were crunchy hot and not terrible. My older daughter got chicken strips with French fries and for $15 they gave her two pieces of chicken. Then I realized that was as a starter in the menu not like a full meal. Me and my friend were scared to order anything and keep it safe so we got mozzarella sticks and they did but disappoint! We ended up getting another order. My friend drink was good she got three. I really wasn't crazy about my margarita. It was happy hour but it didn't specify what the price was. It's only $2 odd original prices. The bathroom was decent which i was also hesitant to use. The only reason 8 have it 4 stars was because the waitress was very attentive. This place has so much potential. Not convinced I would go back .

It was loud in the beginning , making it hard to converse or hear at the table, as speakers throughout the establishment were loudly transmitting the event with microphones that was happening in the front. Once that ended, we definitely enjoyed dinner more. Biggest highlights of the evening were drinks and service. Every drink we got was well balanced, flavorful and delicious, so kudos to the bartender! Our waiter and busboys were very attentive, friendly, and provided top notch service from start to finish. Dishes came out in timely manner and order, with restaurant service etiquette followed to a T. Food was good overall, fresh and well presented. Portion sizes are decent, everything priced according to location, quality and ambiance. Octopus was tender but didn't have any flavor and was outshined by delicious pesto & burrata in the salad, which was unfortunate as I was looking forward for it to be the start of the dish. Tartar could use more sauce (or salt) to tie all layers together. Bone marrow was delicious, definitely try a side of beef- it melts in the mouth and is a great addition. Duck vareniki was a bit small portion, with good filling/dough ration and the sauce was heavenly. Pizza crust was good but bland toppings made it uneventful. Steak and fish were cooked and seasoned to perfection, side salads were well seasoned and good pairings for protein. Desserts satisfied our sweet tooth after delicious dinner. Definitely will come back.

We didn't have a reservation and the restaurant was completely full. At first, we were told there were no available tables, but the wonderful ladies at the front desk kindly spoke with the manager and found a table for two that had been reserved by guests delayed in heavy traffic for two hours. We were truly happy and deeply grateful for their kindness and willingness to help. It was my first time visiting this large and beautiful restaurant with several dining halls and a lovely summer terrace. The design is absolutely stunning. The staff is highly professional, polite, and always happy to recommend dishes when guests need help choosing. Every dish we ordered was prepared flawlessly -- incredibly delicious and artistically presented with great taste and attention to detail. The pistachio and meringue dessert was simply breathtaking, decorated with a delicate caramel lace that beautifully showcased the pastry chef's craftsmanship. I would like to thank the entire welcoming and well-coordinated team and express special gratitude to the restaurant owner and the chef for creating this wonderful island of fine dining in Brighton. We truly enjoyed our visit to this unforgettable restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly delicious and elegant dining experience. Irene Rosin Sincerely, Irene Rosin

We got the lobster AYCE for $125pp and they had so much variety and everything was made fresh to order. The portion sizes were generous and the quality of the seafood was great.

Sweet Chili Sauce - Old Bay Shrimp - Pan Seared Fresh Jumbo Scallop - Shrimp w. Cajun Butter Sauce

Food: This restaurant offers an AYCE seafood meal for $90 per person (or $120 per person for…read moreunlimited lobster and lobster mac and cheese). The AYCE menu includes a variety of items including appetizers (broccoli, calamari, corn, iron steak, crab rangoon, clam chowder, fried rice, garlic noodles, chicken wings, spareribs, general Tso's chicken, spring rolls, edamame, french fries, and more) and main seafood entrees (steamed or hand breaded shrimp, blue crab, dungeness crab, snow crab legs, crawfish, salmon, seabass, mussels, steamed clams, raw oysters and clams, and more). The items I would recommend the most are iron steak, crab rangoon, blue crab, snow crab legs, and crawfish. The seafood is fresh, and if you love seafood, this AYCE meal is a good value for the variety and amount you get. There is no limit to how much you can order at a time; you can order as many rounds as you'd like. Service: Service is excellent here; staff are friendly and very attentive. They come to check on you throughout the meal and clear empty dishes. Food comes out very quickly after you place an order. The staff are also nice about giving you another menu to place another order. They are generous with their portions and food unlike other AYCE places that seem to not want you to order as much. Ambiance: The restaurant is big and spacious; seating is comfortable. There are tables and booths that can accommodate both small and large groups. The restaurant is kept clean, and the decor is very nice. During the warmer months, there's outdoor seating in Mongolian-style tents on the patio that overlooks Surf Avenue and Luna Park. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like seafood!
