Our server knew to have sharing plates, extra napkins, ketchup (lol) . The view is stellar and is perfect for distracting toddlers. Espresso martini is perfect! (What a surprise!) not too sweet and tasted like real coffee was used. Crab cakes are consistently delicious with remoulade that will make you want to drink it. Fish sandwich hits everytime and always always order the calamari for appetizer. Consistent, swift, tasty, and service is perfect for young families.

3.5 stars I had seen…read morepictures of On the Deck courtesy of a few friends that had been to the restaurant and bar on the harbor. It always looked like such a cool place, and I had been really interested in checking it out. I finally made it there the other day, after a brief afternoon at a local beach. When we arrived around 6:30 pm on that Friday evening, we could see that the back deck was very full and that the parking lot was also close to capacity. We were able to, thankfully, grab a spot and walked over to the restaurant, climbing the stairs to the second floor where we met the hostess. We were told that the wait for outdoor seating was 40-minutes, while indoors was 30-minutes. Glancing around, the inside dining room was casual and nautically-themed. The tables and bar were bustling. The balcony was just as busy, but offered live music, so we determined that it would be worth waiting the additional time and added our name to the list. In the meantime, we decided to hang by the outdoor bar but were unable find a spot. Thankfully, a duo was vacating one of the few high-top tables in the bar section, which were first-come, first-serve. We grabbed that table and settled in to watch the beautiful sunset over the boats docked in the harbor. The staff and the few patrons we encountered during our visit were all very friendly, which only emphasized the laidback vibe of the waterside venue. The food, however, was mediocre at best. When our dinner was delivered, we did not receive any silverware, so we had to grab that from the bar, which was also from where we had placed our order. I had requested the Pan-Seared Salmon, which was well-cooked and served with thin stalks of asparagus, dry jasmine rice, and a huge amount of buttery garlic herb sauce. It made sense that the fish was served in a bowl, because there was so much greasy butter that it would have leaked all over if it was on a flat plate. Thankfully, the bartender had given me a few side plates, so I was able to move my food out of the oily bowl. My friend also had some issues with her meal. Her cup of New England Clam Chowder was flavorful, but watery and mostly broth. Her Fried Flounder Sandwich was heavily breaded and served with an unripe tomato and mushy, oily fries. From a beverage perspective, they had surprisingly interesting cocktails, but I was thrilled to see my favorite beer, Kane Head High, on tap. We simply loved the view, live acoustic tunes from P.D. Brody, and the overall relaxing atmosphere. However, we felt that the food could have been better executed. The menu offered all kinds of seafood and higher-end bar food, but the preparation left something to be desired.

Well, I was finally able to check it out recently with a friend, and we both immediately fell in love with the place. The bar was at the end of a long parking lot and offered several different areas. There was a tented space with picnic tables, a sand-covered lagoon with couches and firepits, a pier with loads of dining tables, a small space for their frequent live music, a giant bar, and many other lounge chairs scattered about. The bar offered a variety of beers, wines, cocktails, and even mocktails. My Aperol Spritz was robust and well-balanced. We also ordered food from Cuts & Catch, which was a food truck and grill near the entrance to the bar. Their menu supposedly changes often, but they focus on both surf and turf items. When we arrived around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening, a majority of the menu was already sold out. In some ways, that helped ease the selection process, but it also meant that a few of the things that had appealed to us (chicken kebabs, for instance) were no longer an option. We each ended up getting an order of the Fried Fish Tacos and shared a Shrimp Cocktail. The tacos were served in portions of three. The small corn tortillas were wrapped around large pieces of crispy, flaky fish tenders and a cabbage slaw. We both thought they looked basic, but they tasted phenomenal! The raw bar dish included five jumbo shrimp with a side of cocktail sauce. The shellfish were plumb and very fresh. We were still a bit hungry after these items, especially since we had spent the day at the beach, so we also shared an order of fries for the ride home; the thin, crisp fries were perfectly salted and simply delicious. The live music and views of the sunsetting over the marina made for a lovely atmosphere, and the excellent food and drinks made the experience that much better. We cannot wait to return!

Made my sister queasy and I threw up. My food came and the seafood stunk so bad my nephew didn't want to sit next to me. I just gotten sick and wrapped it as I didn't want to throw up anymore. My sister special her short ribs were tough, not edible and awful she wrapped and tossed. We immediately threw out both dishes. The kids wanted to do a birthday dessert. I figured I would try the in-house crème Bur-lee, which I let my niece and nephew try, they made faces of horror. I tried and it was rancid. I was sick throwing up from their disgusting food and they ruined my bday and made me sick all weekend. Our server CJ was excellent but she needs to work at a fine dining establishment. I've gone here years ago and had a lovely experience. Being from the Jersey shore we take seafood seriously. We would have been better off at the hotdog truck at the Keyport seaport. They comped the oysters that were returned, the soup that gave me food poisoning for my birthday weekend and their rancid in house made crème Burlee birthday dessert. It was a joke. The manager came and apologized but it was the worst food experience ever. We paid the $300 dollars and threw out our food than risk further sickness with their side of frozen vegetables. Only thing decent was the fresh lobster my mom ate and the hot dogs the kids ate. NEVER AGAIN. Repeatedly serving bad and stinky, not fresh seafood that makes guests sick and gave me food poisoning is a reason they should have health inspector come and one for us to never return.
