The wings were good. We had those as an appetizer. For my meal I ordered the lobster bisque soup and Asian salad. The soup had real pieces of lobster in it. I enjoyed it. My salad was drenched in dressing. I wish I asked for the dressing on the side. I couldn't finish my salad because the dressing was just too much and I started to feel nauseous. Unfortunately I ended up throwing up! I felt much better after puking. I didn't eat anything before that and I only drank water. It was so strange it made me puke.

There was no one at the host stand and no sign indicating "please wait to be seated". Eventually someone sat us. About a half hour later Mrs P had to pull aside a man acting as if he was the lead to have someone take our order. That took another 20 minutes. The kitchen took equally long to get food out. No doubt as woefully understaffed as the dinning room. I and Daughter P ordered fish and chips which the menu clarified was fried cod and French fries. Instead it came with chips. That's crisps to you and me, Rusty. They tasted exactly like Terra Vegetable Chips found in the supermarket. Dead match. And they were dead stale. Daughter2 P's mozzarella sticks were so late that I nearly thought they would arrive for the next meal. Our water was never refilled despite several requests. One was placed with the would be lead. This jerk turned to near by bus boy, snapped his fingers and motioned for him to get it. I dislike bad leaders. Particularly when they end up covering my table. We should have left during the interminable time it took to order. I implored Mrs P to leave a negative tip for the full amount and then pay the bill plus 5% just to make a point. But the lead would not understand the message. Or even see it with his head so far inside his sphincter

On more than one occasion, my the waitstaff was slow or nonexistent without asking someone else to have them return to the table. I will chalk it up to being "busy," although I have never been there when the restaurant was full. The number 1 draw is the view.

Couldn't wait to come back after 2 years (we are from out of state) and from the beginning, being seated by the hostess with attitude, I didn't wanna overthink it but we asked for shade and she sat us in the sun. No prob, she took us to a shaded table. Almost immediately after being seated, they came around and started taking down all of the umbrellas. Said a storm was coming. Didn't ask us to move inside, just took away the only umbrella that gave us shade Sat in sun the whole time Server, May, started out ok but needless to say, service went to greatly lacking when I said it didn't look like rain but if it started to look bad could we move inside, I got a look with no answer. Was very uncomfortable. Not sure why. We got our food, much later came our wine (we had to ask for ice twice because it was so hot). No follow up, just the check We felt unwanted and it was so awkward, we paid and left. Oh... and no rain, no clouds, no storm. ‍ Came all this way.... Very disappointing.

In fact, we had the churrasco and the ceviche and both were very good. We also had a mango shake with milk, also excellent. Great tase and good consistency. The place also has a good atmosphere and great music selection. In addition, every Thursday evening from 6:45 to 7:45 they offer free Latin music dance classes. There were probably 12 to 15 people at this particular class. Definitely a great date spot. I'll mention that the food did take almost 50 minutes to come out, but overall the food and service were both good. Definitely worth a try.

Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside their posh space and at the outdoor patio in front of the building. Just one rule inside: do not put a water bowl on the floor.

Open every day starting at 3pm for drinks and the kitchen opens at 4pm for food. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 3-6pm. Check their website for other specials and events!

Official "Benny" here - so take my review with a grain of salt…read more (Us Northerners are a shady bunch!) We came here the summer before, loved it. Came this summer and... liked it. (The honeymoon is over, I fear.) The menu is eclectic - pizza to sandwiches to seafood to an impressive list of beers, cocktails and mocktails. The pricing is a bit too high but what else would you expect in the heart of the boardwalk, right at the main 'corner' where countless people are constantly walking past? The servers on both visits were superb. The restaurant definitely has a cool look all around... outdoor seating, a large bar inside, plenty of tables and a cool 'snug corner' that has a lounge/library vibe to it. (Weirdly enough on both visits they gave us the exact same high-top even though there was plenty of seating in all the other corners of the joint.) For every hit (the BLT sandwich) there was a "it was okay, I don't think I'd get that again" (fish tacos) and for almost $20 to hear, "the crust reminded me of Ellio's frozen pizza" was deflating. (Next summer? We might see what else Long Branch has to offer...)
