    Jamie went above and beyond for my personal experience at Northbeach. He took one look at me, smiled and started making a drink like he knew what I was gonna say!! I thought that only happened in movies. Ambience was fun! I like his unwashed hair look, like the cover of a Dior sauvage campaign. Johnny Depp more like Jamie Depp.

    The greasy haired bartender outside gave me the best bar experience of my life ... he is sociable, friendly , charismatic, sensual, eccentric, patient , trustworthy, loyal, kind, obedient & happy to make me a drink .. especially water ... Jamie is 10/10... I've never felt more at home then at Jamie's bar !

    Best bartenders in the history of alcohol !

    Happiest place on earth! Best bartenders and the hottest Staff! Pizza is FIRREEEEEEE best in town, not even close! My favorite place to day drink on this planet

    So, this place is a ton of fun. We were here on Sunday, and they have so many super cute floaties all over the place. The staff is also very friendly and the grapefruit crushes are pretty tasty. You also have a beautiful view of the water, along with a fire pit etc. it definitely gets crowded on Saturday nights, and so if you prefer a bit more peace and quiet, Sunday is the way to go.

    Let me first start by saying this rating is solely based on our very humble experience last night! 8/1/18! We have never been to this place before but wanted to chill somewhere on the water and have some drinks in the sand and play some cornhole. The parking lot was horrible and needed grating. Like horrible, could have lost a car in the pot holes. Inside (well outside) the bar area and lounging area needed to be clean up...ALOT. We played cornhole at the far end and there were still bar towels in the sand. From like when?!?! It's 7pm... The bar at that end was closed and everything at that end looked abandoned. There were more bar towels discarded inside on the dance floor area. The troubling part is no one cared. There were maybe 3 employees visable. There were maybe 10 customers (not including our 4some). So the REAL TALK IS! The bearded Bartender was awesome. Really cool Guy. Made the place a cool place to be for a while. Super friendly. The only reason for 4 stars. We would only go back for him. Otherwise 2 Stars. Liquor and cornhole can happen anywhere. Btw the cornhole boards were busted and the bags were shottttt! It's mid summer. Get your shit together. We still had fun...but for the record if we got to the bar in the future and the bearded guy wasn't there !

    wow

    Wow I guess I am missing something. Found this place on Google and it was marked Open. Wow, looks like the nuclear disaster was declared. It appeared to be abandoned. Chairs and barstools were laying all over the place. There were rusted Ultra unopened cans on the bar. The ice bins in the bar were all rusting. If the place is still open, dont get a drink with ice. Overall a spooky experience. See my pictures.

    Awesome beach bar with great drinks. It surprised me that they literally crushed an orange to make the orange crush (as other bars may just resort to store-bough OJ). Great music, friendly staff. There's a 6-way beer pong table that I was tempted to try but I didn't stay there very long. On Fridays, 4-6pm, there's free tacos! There was also a pig roasting (named Ben, poor Ben), really nailing the beach luau vibe.

    Huge fried fish sandwich!
    Peter G.

    Nothing great to report, but the fried fish sandwich is huge and tastes good. Unlike other places where you bite into a huge fish sandwich that looks like leather, this is actually real, fresh and cooked just right. Flaky on the inside and served on a tasty roll. If you are heading down to the shore, stop by for the food and a view of the bay.

    Taco trio, shortrib, pork and something else

    We wanted a bit of a fancy dinner to cap off our break weekend and this was supremely wonderful!…read more This space is somehow elegant, a bit pricy, ultra attentive service, and yet you feel like a relaxed family with your fellow diners giving recommendations and sharing ideas with zero aura of pretension. The seafood blends into everything and is the star but do not discount the details and sauces of each item to make it truly unique. There's zings and pows and delightfulness in addition to the huge pieces of scallop and salmon cake. The sense of richness is brought to every plate you don't want to stop eating. Do not sleep on their cocktail offerings! Strong drinks with strong mixed flavors- I got the silly blue drink with the blinking light inside and it was hilariously fun but also VERY tasty, tangy, and wonderful to drink alongside the food. I don't know how they manage to keep a cozy sense of special romance along with fun camaraderie but it's something unique to take notice and highly recommend to enjoy!

They were clearly preoccupied with the bar and lounge crowd which was big. The other problem - they placed us at a table which was, without warning, two seats away from the lounge. I love showtunes. But I don't want to have that loudly being sung in a fine dining restaurant from ten feet away. And in my personal opinion, not well.

It honestly felt like we were transported to the Caribbean--the lush greenery, sand, and gorgeous water views made the setting so relaxing and tropical. Service was okay. Our server forgot to bring utensils, so when our food arrived, we had to wait a little bit before we could actually eat. I had the jerk chicken side salad, and my husband had the jerk chicken pizza. My only complaint was that they didn't have a great selection of salad dressings. The pizza, however, was delicious, and even my toddler enjoyed it! Overall, I'd definitely come back for the beautiful atmosphere and the food. It's a great spot to grab a bite before heading out on the water

Will absolutely return! Staff 10/10 no matter where we were and the entire experience might make for one of my top night club experiences.

    I attended the HQ2 Beachclub at Ocean Casino Resort with a group of friends to see Afrojack. The…read moreevent ran from 11 AM to 6 PM, and we arrived around 12:30 PM. The first issue was simply finding the venue. Coming from the self-parking garage, there was very little signage directing guests to the Beachclub. We eventually found our way by following another group headed there, but better directions and signs would make a huge difference. The biggest problem, however, was the security screening. My friends and I carefully reviewed the venue rules beforehand and followed the bag and dress code requirements. Despite that, security went through our belongings in an extremely invasive manner. They opened wallets, flipped through personal items, and thoroughly searched small bags that were well within the approved size limits. They were looking at how much money and credit cards I had! When I questioned why they were looking through things like my wallet, noting that even airport security doesn't typically inspect belongings that way, the response I received was rude and dismissive. The entire interaction felt uncomfortable and unnecessarily intrusive. Once inside, it became clear that unless you're planning to spend hundreds of dollars on bottle service, there aren't many places where you can simply sit, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. Shortly after we found seats, we were approached and made to feel unwelcome unless we were spending money. The overall vibe felt very pretentious and exclusive rather than welcoming. What made this even more frustrating was the inconsistency in enforcement. The venue rules clearly state that smoking is prohibited, yet multiple people were openly smoking throughout the event while numerous security staff stood nearby and did nothing. Meanwhile, security had spent so much effort scrutinizing our belongings at the entrance. It gave the impression that certain guests were being targeted while others were allowed to ignore the rules. Exiting the venue was also confusing. We attempted to leave through the same area where we entered and followed visible exit signs, only to be told to turn around and walk all the way to the opposite side of the venue. Once again, clearer signage would help avoid unnecessary confusion. To be fair, the bathrooms were clean throughout the day, and there were attendants making sure they stayed that way. The bartenders were also friendly and professional. I was only drinking water, and every time I ordered one, they were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, those positives weren't enough to outweigh the overall experience. Between the confusing layout, invasive security procedures, inconsistent rule enforcement, and constant pressure to spend money, this venue simply isn't for me. No matter which DJ is performing, I won't be returning. I'd much rather attend events at venues in Philadelphia that offer a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

The food was delicious. I loved the scallops and lobster risotto. I didn't care for the appetizer we ordered, bbq bacon wrapped shrimp. There was a club area next door with a band. I would have loved to have a drink there next time. There was also lots of seats outside to view the sunset. There is a lot of parking but the place is busy and you might have to park far away. We did but they have staff members driving golf carts driving you to the restaurant.

    Extremely Disappointing Experience at Fager's Island!!…read more I rarely leave a negative review, but our experience at Fager's Island in Ocean City, Maryland, was so disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. We had made a reservation specifically to dine in the fine-dining section upstairs. My wife arrived before me because I had to park the car, and she was already seated upstairs when I entered the restaurant. When I went upstairs to find my wife, I was immediately confronted by an older woman who I believe was associated with the ownership or management. Instead of politely asking if she could help me, she rudely said, "What are you doing here?" I explained that my wife was already upstairs and that we had a reservation. She repeatedly ordered me to go downstairs and speak with the front desk before coming upstairs. I did exactly that, only to be told by the front desk that we had been seated on the lower level, despite my reservation being for the fine-dining section upstairs. When I explained this, my concern was essentially dismissed. Unfortunately, the poor treatment continued at the table. Our waitress took approximately 15 minutes just to come over and ask if we wanted something to drink. We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, and when it arrived, we proceeded to order our food. While waiting, I turned one of the chairs slightly so my wife could sit comfortably while I took a picture of her with the beautiful water view behind her. The waitress rudely told me, "You can't turn the chair and take my chair." The attitude was completely unnecessary and made us feel uncomfortable as customers. Then came the food. I ordered my steak medium, It arrived well done. Given my experience as a restaurant owner, the steak appeared to me as though it may have been prepared ahead of time and reheated. My wife ordered the fish, which was described to us as fresh caught. Unfortunately, her fish was also overcooked. We did not make a scene. We politely explained the problem to our waitress and asked that both meals be corrected so we could enjoy our dinner together. Instead of simply correcting the problem, the waitress returned with my steak cut open in the middle and told me that the chef said it was cooked perfectly. It wasn't. I explained again that I had ordered it medium to medium-well and that it was well done. I politely asked them to remake it. I also asked that my wife's fish be remade so we could eat together. My steak came back first, but then my wife had to wait another approximately 10 minutes for her fish. At this point, what should have been a nice dinner had become an extremely frustrating experience. Mistakes happen in restaurants. That's not the issue. A steak can be overcooked. Fish can be overcooked. Orders can occasionally take longer than expected. What matters is how a restaurant treats its customers when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, we experienced rudeness, dismissive behavior, poor communication, disappointing service, and food that was not prepared as ordered. I came to Fager's Island expecting an enjoyable fine-dining experience and instead left extremely disappointed. For the prices they charge and the reputation they have, I expected much better. I would not recommend Fager's Island based on our experience. There are plenty of restaurants in Ocean City where customers can spend their money and be treated with courtesy and respect. Fager's Island: beautiful location, but our experience with the service, attitude, and food was simply not acceptable.
