We ordered out drinks first and I asked for the Mai Tai to please swap rum for tequila . He said he would ask. The cones back with some S.... and really fake story . I asked him is your bartender new? Over whelmed that he can't do it? And he stumbled with his excuse i asked to speak to the manager . When manager came and gave the excuse with to many people arrived at same time WHICH was a lie since I looked right over his shoulder and game him the bs Look. He then said we ordered a specified amount of things for the drinks and alcohol we have in hand . I said okay forget it . Later on he said here you go we made one for you and it's free of charge realized they were not doing things how they should have been. We ordered the food and that started to come. The burger was highly recommended. Bronzino was really good ( flavors / doneness/ the look and just perfect) The lobster escargot was great as well perfect amount of garlic and nice chunks of lobster as well. The toast were cheap and just wonder bread like . And I like to dip my bread . And the burger was the biggest waste of 26$ for a burger . The burg e bun was triple the size of the burger itself.they ask you how would you want your burger cooked but the burger is too thin to be cooked to anything but well done. I didn't order a bun I ordered a burger . And a pimple piece of lettuce, 4 pickles , cheese ans suace. I wouldn't come back there again . Maybe just drinks

However, good food! The harvest salad with delicious + big portions, the fish and chips were delicious, the salmon was a small portion but cooked well, the steak frites were good but undercooked in our opinion but the potato dumplings were a HIT! Yum! Fun drink menu! I would definitely go back for a cocktail and appetizer!

Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. The moules were excellent and the roast chicken was simple but really well done. And the Negroni was honestly one of the best I've had in the city. Smooth, balanced, and aged in a barrel. Definitely a place I'd come back to

Boardwalk Beer Garden is definitely a great place to get the best drinks and eats on Brighton Beach…read moreIt's right on the boardwalk and you get the best beach views on a summer day.

Service started well, patient as we decided. Busser kept the table clear. But then it got a tad hard to get the waitress's attention. I wanted a drink, but finished eating before she came around. A light language issue when I asked for salt and got the check. Food was very good. Lamb chops. Excellent. Lula kabob also. My cocktail, a mescal and tequila based Sicilian Agave was sharp. She thought about dessert but the waitress was not handy and we decided to get the check instead. One note: 18% is added as a "service charge" that is not distributed to the staff. I.e., the prices shown are 18% below what you will pay. Then you tip on top of that. Lovely view, less lovely pricing.

The service is lacking, but it is not the waiters' fault. The management and whatever system they have in place is disorganized, leading to being served the wrong food. Basically, one waiter takes your order and a different waiter serves your order. But because there is no effective communication, your order either never arrives or goes to a different table. I think whoever takes the order should also be the one to serve. It's a pity, because hadn't been for the lacking service, I would have stayed longer and ordered more food and drinks. I came with a friend and she loooooves food and drinks. Plus there was live music; all nice...but we just couldnt keep on repeatedly asking for the same thing over and over. We waited 15 minutes to have a coke...just a can of coke, no glass with ice. We asked for plates for our appetizers and that was another feat...it took 20 minutes to get two plates. It might be a northern European thing, because I experienced the same abysmal service in Austria and Germany.

Pork shish and grilled chicken thigh were well seasoned and tender. Marinated mushrooms = heaven. It had this delicious olive-vinegar flavor, and I could prob eat a whole quart of those alone.

The service is impeccable, the wait staff is well versed in the menu and will offer help if you don't know how to truly get the best sandwich that you can. The star here is the roast beef sandwich, it's moist and flavorful and cooked absolutely perfectly. My suggestion is to order it with cheese and have it dunked in the au jus. I prefer what they call a "knife and fork job" where the sandwich, the meat the bread is all dunked and comes out in a river of au jus. They make amazing sides, I typically go for the onion rings and corn fritters which are tasty, fried nugget of sweet corn and they are delicious. Do note, they only take cash and sometimes it takes a while to get your food but in the end it is so very worth it.

Curious about the "famous" Brooklyn roast beef war -- yeah! it's a thing! -- T and I decided to see for ourselves. (Once I try the competition I'll weigh in with my vote.) With a reputation built on beef we ignored other options and researched how to order. You can get double dip, "dingle-dangle" (don't ask), cheese/no cheese ... it was confusing. We both went with rare roast beef, cheese and onions. T asked for his double-dipped in gravy. Yum! Short of five stars, but yum nonetheless. We ordered two unhealthy sides which added to the decadence of our lunch: corn fritters and onion rings. If you only get one, go with the fritters. The place is busy. You'll likely have to wait a bit -- but I found it interesting to watch the guys at the counter work. Service was friendly and attentive. Unlike someone's comment about paying blind -- not so. We were given a check with an accurate breakdown of what we ordered. Prices are posted. And yes -- cash only.

I came to see a band who just happened to be performing along with a puppet show, Puppets Come…read moreHome!, around Halloween. I was not interested in the puppets, I'd say I'm actually more anti-puppet than not but the show was amazing! I found out there's a whole puppeteering subculture in this city, and there were lots of performances I wouldn't have even considered to fall into that genre. The staff were all great, really welcoming and engaging. The manager Patrick as well as the MC of the show were so well versed in both Coney Island, sideshow, and general pop-culture history. And the band put on one hell of a show, they do creepy noir/murder ballads that draw inspiration from Tim Burton and other dark artists. The bar has a museum and gift shop and runs events most weekends (magic shows, fundraisers, burlesque, etc.). Unlike the rides, Freak Bar stays open every weekend into the winter. $6 Coronas. Come out, it's fun!

I'm not one to write negative reviews, but Patrick (GM, I think owner, and my least favorite…read morepatrick including bateman) ruined this place for me. What is a very cool historic spot could be an insane hangout if it wasn't for the sauntering a**hole pissing on a good time. I went in with a friend of mine and we are both huge Coney Island regulars. Her more than me. She's been past the place a million times and they're never open. She asks him about this in a friendly way, saying we love the spot and we've been dying to come in. His response is super snide, and the he pulls out his phone and shoves the website in her face as if we didnt think to look them up. We tried twice to talk to the guy and both times he was extremely condescending and unfriendly. Then he went behind the bar and proceeded to complain about us out loud, 18 inches away as if we couldn't hear. just for trying to have a conversation? We weren't drunk or belligerent, just trying to tell him we like the spot. Guy seems totally uninterested in what it means to own or run a bar, much less a cool ass spot like this. If you go on a night (whenever they feel like being open for business--better check the website!!!!!) when Patrick isn't there and it's just the bartender Jamie-- he is super cool kind and a great time. Wish I got time to or felt welcome to exploring the place. Hope it goes under new ownership or I won't be back to try again. cheers.

Service is always friendly and helpful with offering suggestions if you're not sure what to pick from their extensive menu of drinks.
