Started off rocky with who appeared to be an overworked waitress and ended up being so much fun. (We are a fun group and won her over.) From appetizers to salad to entrees to dessert - everything was prepared to perfection. There was ample table space to spread out and share and hold an ice bucket to chill our BYOB beverages. The staff was over-attentive and almost got stabbed with a fork for taking a plate too early. There was no way we were leaving anything! Reservations highly encouraged if not required. There is limited outdoor dining. Inside has booths and tables. Go with lower expectations and be pleasantly surprised!

While the crab was good I thought the fish was a little dry. If it didn't have the sauce - which was great - the fish might have been overly tough. My wife had the stuffed shrimp and mentioned she needed the lemon to give it some juiciness back. Our group also had the seared scallops which were the best dish. Overall a nice seafood beach restaurant with a friendly staff.

If I could give Parker's 6 starts I would! This was truly an incredible meal from start to finish…read more My fiancé and I are getting married here next year so we wanted to take our families so they could see the restaurant and sample some of the food. Our server Amy was wonderful and really made the meal. She was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu to us and answer all our questions. Never once did she make us feel rushed and we were there for several hours. We sampled what felt like the entire appetizer portion of the menu because why not! Raw oysters, roasted oysters, tuna crackers, octopus, clam chowder croquettes...You name it. We had it. Hands down these were the best and freshest raw oysters I've ever had. The New England clam chowder croquettes and tuna crackers were other standouts to me. I could have made a meal of these alone. When it came to mains, again no surprise everything was incredible. The crab cakes were a hit. Not an ounce of filler in these. All crab. We had a bit of a later rez so we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the bay. The perfect end to a perfect meal. The views are unmatched here and the atmosphere is a bonus. Parker's has quickly risen to one of my favorite restaurants on the island.

We went to Parker's Garage for a special birthday meal for my mother's 60th birthday--and though…read moreshe was lying about her age, we were not lying about the inedible meal as the lovely manager so kindly alleged! Listen, before I get into this review, dear reader, you must know I'm someone who loves salt. I'll scarf down a whole bag of snyder's pretzel pieces (nearly 100% of your daily sodium value) at once! I love it so much that I won't be shocked if it's a problem by the time I get to my own "60th" birthday. Never in my life did I expect the jump scare of a salad so salty it made me nearly choke. My mother got the shredded cabbage salad. All of us had a bite. It was like mainlining Morton right from the blue container--a rush of adrenaline, a shock to the system. A stomach ache. My mother sent it back. I tried to enjoy my Caesar salad and my sister-in-law tried to enjoy her green salad, knowing hypertension is a slightly better fate than being branded a 30-something New Jersey Karen during peak vacation season. But it was so bad that surely it had to be mistake and they didn't know! It wasn't like this other times we were here. We should do the kind thing to tell them. So we made the mistake of telling the manager. And this is the reason I'm coming out of Yelp retirement to write this review. The manager alleged we were LYING, saying it was "quite odd" all three of us wanted to return our uneaten salads--send in Sherlock Holmes! We've got a mystery on our hands. They didn't eat their dinner because it made them feel sick. When I asked if she seriously just accused us of lying, she walked back and said "well, the chef said this is not a mistake. This is exactly how it should taste. And maybe every restaurant is not for every person." Quite honestly, I have never been to a restaurant before where I couldn't eat my meal--and then was scolded about it! I can't even recall a time I have sent food back. And after reading the reviews, it's confirmed I'm not alone. I will say, they did take the salads off the bill, and the server (not the manager) was lovely. I gave it one star because--in between contemplating a $45 kids meal--there was enough salt in the food to make my one year old nephew finally speak. Guess what he asked for? "Water"

Stopped in at Chicken & Egg while in LBI with some friends. I ordered the Redneck Benedict, which…read moresounded like a fun twist on a classic, but it ended up being just okay. The flavors were a little bland and the chicken was cut too thick, which made it less enjoyable to eat. The home fries that came with it were also disappointing -- they seemed reheated rather than freshly made, and just didn't have that crisp, flavorful kick you hope for at a breakfast spot. My friends had different dishes, but their reactions were similar -- nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. We all left feeling like the food was a little underwhelming overall. The bathroom was serviceable but not especially clean, and while the service was fine, it wasn't anything that stood out as particularly attentive or warm. On the positive side, the decor was pleasant and gave the place a nice atmosphere. Honestly, that was probably the highlight of the experience for me. If Yelp allowed half-star ratings, I'd give it a 3.5 just for the vibe. All in all, Chicken & Egg isn't a bad place, but it didn't really impress. With so many options around, it's not somewhere I'd rush back to, but I wouldn't call it a total miss either -- more middle of the road.

We had the lobster bake which had a mountain of clams and muscles. It could have used some broth in the bowl to keep from drying out. The lobster was very juicy. I had the broiledseafood combo. While the crab cake was outstanding the flounder, scallops and shrimp were overly dry. Lastly, the garlic Dungeness crabs - the menu description is spot on - get dirty with this one.
