This tiny little restaurant worth a try. We are visiting from California and were here this…read moreafternoon and were so pleased with the food. Amazing flavors. New England clam chowder 5, one of the best I've had in recent months. Corn bread 5 super moist and flavorful Mussles in Cajun sauce 5 Seafood boil jersey flavor 5 Chocolate cake , super moist and just the right amount of sweetness 5 If anything service could be a little better. We didn't get our gloves and the bucket for the shells. It' was just 3 ladies and they had a ton of orders keeping them busy, so I'll not hold it against them. Definitely visit this place and try their food. You won't regret.

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.

Great drink selection and variety of seafood in a cozy margate restaurant. Table availability can…read morebe limited if busy but luckily we came on a fairly slow night. The bar was definitely the scene though! It was packed. Ambiance was comfy but very noisy. Had the weather been pleasant, I'd have preferred the outdoor seating for this reason. But otherwise the service was friendly if slightly inexperienced. I noticed dishes weren't always cleared between courses and had to flag the server down a couple of times but again, pleasant enough. The food was definitely worthwhile with highlights being the octopus and crab cake sandwich. Portions were hardy enough to share! The only miss was actually the dessert. Maybe we picked poorly but the key lime pie was really lacking like flavor and the crust was nearly nonexistent. Skip dessert and go to the dairy bar nearby. Will come back for more yummy seafood!

Came here on 7/4 with a group of friends and this is definitely place to be in the area. Food was…read moregreat and espresso martini was amazing. Usually don't like espresso martinis but I finished mine. Service at the bar is probably the best as everyone was always taken care of and drinks were always full.

We will return and recommend.

Velo is a casual local BYOB cafe in Ventnor that offers breakfast & brunch. I visited on a weekend…read morefor brunch & enjoyed it very much. They're only 2 blocks from the beach, so only street parking is available. There's a nice variety of breakfast & lunch options. I had the Orale Benedict which has chorizo on top of a slice of sweet potato instead of an English muffin. My poached eggs were a little under but I still enjoyed it. It came with salad or fruit. I opted for the salad & thought the vinaigrette was fresh & tasty. Service was prompt & friendly. I also liked that they brought out an ice bucket for my sparkling wine. They also have specialty coffee drinks that I'll have to try next time because I will definitely be back!

The omelet was fairly good, but I was disappointed with the fruit. It was an up charge and the portion was tiny. My husband got the stuffed French toast with a side of turkey sausage. The French toast was very tasty but the turkey sausage was overcooked and not good. I would love to come back and try Velo for lunch.
