    Caprese Salad tasted fresh and the balsamic glaze added just the right savory flavor!
    Dolly M.

    We have eaten at Bocca over many years since they've first opened their doors. HOWEVER... This review is in reference to their "take-out" or "to-go" SERVICE. My husband, orders, on average, once a week, a plain burger: w/ sautéed onions, med. rare. and, fries on the side. He ASKS for NOTHING else on his burger ... preferring NO ketchup, tomatoes, lettuce or cheese. Emphasis on NO CHEESE!! Each time it's been ordered , he has had to call back to RETURN the order ( 50 per cent of the time!! ) because they ADD the CHEESE! Invariably, the manager has said, in the past, "next time you come in, LMK and I'll cover your cost. BUT my husband, doesn't EVER take him up on the offer. But, TONIGHT after they delivered his meal ( again, with cheese, and they forgot the sautéed onions! They returned, WITH a new burger, it had no cheese & AGAIN they did not deliver the additional sautéed onions! SERIOUSLY?? They need to improve their performance. FROM order-taking, to the finished product, to the notes in the kitchen ... somewhere along the way there's a break-down in communication. Customers should NOT have to call consistently to re-order wrongly delivered meals!! My rating is based on this poor performance, on the SAME repeated mistake on several different occasions!

    I was welcome anyway! :)

    Any place with daily happy hour from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM is a-okay in my book! We joined our friends here for a late afternoon happy hour on a rainy Saturday. The restaurant was busy! There was a birthday party in a section of the main dining room, and the bar area was lively. The Preakness was going to be broadcast at the bar, so that likely increased the traffic. We were able to land a nice four-top in the bar section. Two things I loved off the bat - the bartender was able to make me a decaf Espresso Martini, and their house Pinot Noir was simply delicious. The happy hour menu was extensive, and we sampled a little bit of everything - cheesesteak egg rolls, buffalo tails (tenders), mussels, hummus, and some Cape May Salts (my favorite). Our server was an absolute doll. I cannot recall her name for the life of me, but she had long red hair and she checked in on us regularly. We could tell she valued her guests' experiences. She deserves accolades and a raise! There is a funny sign behind the bar that read "Welcome Eagles Fans - New York fans please use the back door". Of course. my Philadelphia sports fanatic husband had to put me on blast for being a New York sports fan, but our server chuckled and said I was welcome regardless. So, take THAT! Really fun time and a great place to catch up with friends!

    Pizza, sausage, peppers, mushroom and long fire roasted long hots! So good coal fired

    My turn. 1st time. I was impressed with the service it was perfect actually. Now the food, we ordered the casinos but they were out...sad. Server didn't know they were out. So we ordered Calamari, it was good but nothing special like I was hoping for after a price tag that it was one of a kind 5 stars. The beef dip was really good but needed salt. I ordered a custom pizza coal fired and it was excellent I was happy. Now the drinks were excellent and we were outside sitting because we asked for it and it was gorgeous out with a wonderful ocean breeze and the are was beautiful. I will come back only reason not giving 4 stars is the food is over priced.

    Don't waste your time with this place. It took over an hour to get delivery when they said 30 minutes. And it was cold

    Awesome awesome food! If you go, make sure to order the fried Brussels sprout appetizer. Best sprouts I've ever tasted.

    We enjoyed an outstanding dinner here! While staying nearby in Atlantic City for a conference, we…read morereally wanted to get away from that nasty area and one of our colleagues lives in the area and suggested we try Steve & Cookies. We got there and it looked, calm, simple, and plain from the outside - until we walked in... this place was PACKED! Clearly, since we didn't make reservations, we weren't going to enjoy seating at their white table cloth tables in the main dining room, but we went around back to their bar and scored one last table there. Our server, Brian was amazing... engaging... and on point! They have a nice wine list and perfect spirit list. They also have an outstanding menu loaded with so many options, that I really just needed to settle on the first thing I saw that looked good. For me, I love cucumbers and when I saw they had a cucumber salad, done Asian style, I was completely in!!! Then I saw their soup of the day was split pea with bacon and since no one serves split pea and when they do, it's rarely what I expect, I got that too! Both of these came out looking GREAT! The cucumber salad had a nice spice to it and the flavors overall were sooo on point! That split pea soup was also great... almost perfect! It had the exact texture this soup should have and the flavor was very nice. For my entrée I saw a few of the halibut as I was walking through the dining room, so that is what I chose. The halibut came out looking great! It was PERFECTLY prepared too!! The flavors were spot-on, and the accompanying veggies were great too. We were enjoying dinner so much that we didn't want it to end, even though we were full... so, we ordered desserts too. I opted for the banana cream pie, as this is another item I rarely see on a menu and when I do, it's rarely done right, but not here... they did it perfectly! Overall, amazing meal... Highly recommend stopping in, but make reservations first!

    I lucked out with a seat at the bar at this busy, popular restaurant. My Farmhouse Shrub drink was…read moretasty and I loved the live piano music. I clearly ordered wrong. The fried sushi roll was tough on the outside and soaked in a spicy sauce. I only ate the tasty tuna interior. My seasonal crisp was apple. Really? In June? And it arrived covered in whipped cream AND ice cream. I clearly should have gotten the blueberry pie! The crisp was okay but the fruit was lost in the toppings. I'll try again another time.

    I'm really shaken by what happened to me at Memories in Margate and feel it's important to share…read more While out with my friends, a man (probably in his late 50s) took a photo of me BENEATH MY SKIRT without my knowledge. I only found out because another woman witnessed it and told me. I confronted the man, but he wouldn't acknowledge me, refused to show his phone, and acted like I was crazy. What followed was incredibly disappointing. I brought it to the female bartender and security, hoping for support. For some reason, I still don't know why, she was mad at ME and telling me to calm down and suggesting I leave. She gave this creepy man the benefit of the doubt instead of believing me. I was visibly scared, shaken, and crying. The staff made this situation 10x worse. Eventually the bartender and security checked his phone, saw the violating photos were there, and deleted them. They did apologize and offer free shots but there was no chance I'm ever stepping in that horrible unsafe place again. Supposedly the man was removed but it wasn't without causing a scene and making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I want other young women to be aware. I truly hope the bar rethinks how they handle these kinds of situations in the future. YOUNG WOMEN DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO FEEL SAFE AND SUPPORTED.

    The reason that I gave this a 3 star rating was the food. I enjoyed my bartender (Ophelia?) and I…read moreliked the memorabilia on the walls. I was one of 3 customers in the place one late afternoon during happy hour. The waitresses and barmaid were eating their dinner and the chicken wings were recommended. My issue is that the cook wasn't busy, so how did my wings get burned? And why would you serve them to your customer if you wanted to impress and have her come back? Truthfully, I wanted to visit this bar that I hadn't been to since I was a teenaged underaged drinker! I sure wish Jerry was still alive but am glad we can still go there, dance and conjure up memories of the good old days.
