Only recommendation is to ask for more tartar sauce! I'd come back for more. Definitely make your way off the boardwalk to give it a try.

If the weather is better, a pocket park offers outside tables steps from the door. An outgoing young man was our cashier, and then busied himself preparing for closing when we came in late on a Saturday. I ordered a sauteed flounder fish platter which came with simple mixed vegetables and coleslaw. The fish was so moist and tender and swimming in a mildly seasoned lovely broth. The veggies were seasoned and buttery, simple and delicious . The cole slaw was homemade but unremarkable. $8.99 for this healthy meal. Sign me up! Spouse ordered the soft flour shell, fried shrimp tacos and boy were they huge! He asked for the slaw on the side so it wouldn't make the tacos soggy, and got two full-sized side orders of coleslaw with his two tacos. For $5 each. No frills just good food.

We had been big fans of Knife + Fork, so we were eager to try the group's Dock's Oyster House…read morerestaurant as well. Our rideshare pulled up in front of the place, which was on the main thoroughfare of Atlantic Avenue, though I would not say that it seemed like the safest area. Thankfully, the place offered valet parking to those who needed it. As we entered the historical building, I had expected to see a similarly quaint interior, but it had clearly been renovated. It was more like a modern inn, balancing accent walls of exposed brick with contemporary light fixtures. The bar was completely packed with diners and imbibers, and there was an elegant pianist curating a live playlist for everyone. We were escorted to our table on the other side of main floor, where we were served by the fantastic, Taz, who was friendly, engaging, and helpful. Before we placed our orders, we were given large, sesame semolina rolls, which had a crisp crust and fluffy interior. Each table was also adorned with a giant bowl of homemade oyster crackers, which were a touch dry and benefitted from a small spoonful of chopped horseradish, which was displayed next to the crackers. I enjoyed these treats with a Mijente Tequila with Club Soda for a reasonable $12. From there, we progressed right to our entrees. I decided to go with the nightly special of Macadamia-Crusted Halibut, which was perfectly tender and had a hint of sweetness on its own. It was then topped with a chunky mango salsa and a creamy pineapple-mango sauce to kick that sweetness up a notch. However, that was also offset by its plating with more earthy sides of sauteed spinach and well-seasoned rice pilaf. The dish was fantastic and should really be on the menu all of the time. My companion went with the 12-ounce Filet Mignon, which was presented without that crust most of us enjoy, but the meat itself was like butter; it was tender, juicy, and clearly of excellent quality. The steak was a generous size to begin with, but it also came with Yukon gold mashed potatoes, a few onion rings, and some stalks of asparagus. It was a phenomenal deal for $52, and my partner could not stop raving about how great it all tasted. Lastly, we simply had to give their dessert options our consideration and went with the Bailey's Chocolate Mousse. While the texture was nice, and there was a thin layer of chocolate cake underneath the whipped mousse, it tasted more like standard milk chocolate than the Irish Cream liqueur. It was rather mild, but barely worth acknowledging it as a flaw after what was otherwise such a fabulous experience. Our dinner at Dock's Oyster House was so delicious, that we started planning our next meal there before we even paid the check! I would definitely recommend giving the place a shot.

Visited Atlantic City for two weeks in June. Having tried on two separate occasions to get a seat…read moreat the bar for happy hour at sister restaurant The Knife and Fork Inn and failing, we made plans to go to Dock's Oyster House and got there 15 minutes before opening. We were first in line, in the rain under the awning and got seated right away at the bar, as soon as they opened the doors. Unfortunately I wasn't ready to order yet and the bartender got busy with other folks for a VERY LONG TIME before coming back to indecisive me. At least she explained she would get everyone's drinks made first, then come back for food orders. The place is insanely busy and it all happens at once, so I understand they have to have a system to manage everything. But she was quite abrupt and brusque. Settling on a classic old fashioned $15, while husband ordered a sters uinness draft $11. Drinks are not discounted but all the appetizers are heavily discounted. Then began the feast. Had to try a smoked fish dip, popcorn, mussels, a clam chowder and a crab corn chowder. We had the grilled oysters, ordered two Rockefeller and two champagne. Also some fried oysters with marinara and buffalo. Whatever came out first was eaten! $75 later, we were stuffed! Popcorn with sea salt, black pepper and Sriracha dust packed a punch but was good filler to soak up the Old Fashioned. Smoked fish dip was fairly ordinary and came with saltines, pitas and some sad looking celery and carrots. I brought my GF rice crakers to supplement. Oyster plate was a pretty display with all four types we ordered arranged nicely on one platter. Standard Rockefeller preparation, two with champagne and leeks (bland), two fried buffalo and two fried marinara. All tasty bites! Hubby loved the mussels in red sauce which he ordered spicy. Great for dunking the bread into! The crab and corn soup didn't come out till time for dessert, we really shouldn't have been charged for it. Our bartender didn't even know it was missing. Creamy and sweet, I did enjoy it though. The Maine clam chowder was a beautiful thing to see, with five open whole clams on top of a thick creamy soup. The lady next to me ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, and I had to take it's picture too. Stuffed into a lobster shell, very unique! The bar was bustling and we didn't stay for a second drink. No leftovers but good memories!

I'm thinking maybe this place is better in the summer than in the winter? The food was really disappointing. I got the Italian boil. The pasta was rewarmed and didn't taste fresh. The tomato sauce it came in was very basic and disappointing. The boil my wife got was equally disappointing... My kids disliked the Mac and cheese ( this is rare). The best part of the meal was definitely the corn bread. It was delicious. The atmosphere is tiny and cramped for a party of 5 and we were the only people there. This is more of a takeout place I guess. But, I've never been so let down by following ratings on Yelp. I feel kind giving them 2 stars.... Even the crab Rangoon appetizer wasn't good. Geez....

We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

Very Disappointing -- Borgata Has Really Gone Downhill…read more I visited the Borgata buffet over Labor Day weekend with my family of four, and the total was close to $200. Unfortunately, for that price, I honestly felt that we would have been better off going to a regular restaurant with better tasting food. I hadn't been to the Borgata buffet in a very long time. I remember when it was around $30-$35 per person, and I had much better memories of the food. That's why it was especially disappointing to see how much it seems to have declined. There were a few highlights. The gelato was very good, and I will say the dessert section seems to have improved. The salmon was probably the standout savory dish. The platanos, waffles, pork ribs, and meatballs were also good. The General Tso's chicken was decent as well. Unfortunately, those positives were outweighed by the negatives. There wasn't even much of a fruit selection anymore, which was surprising for a buffet at this price point. The sushi rice wasn't prepared properly all mushy and the shrimp cocktail didn't taste particularly fresh. The seasoned shrimp was also far too salty. The seafood section was particularly disappointing. The clams were so salty that they were essentially inedible, and whoever seasoned the mussels simply did not get the seasoning right. These are not particularly complicated dishes, so it was surprising to see them executed so poorly. The fried foods were also hit or miss. Some batches looked cooked on the outside, but the shrimp inside were still undercooked and appeared almost raw. Some of the vegetables, such as the zucchini, were noticeably undercooked as well. The steak was very tough, while the prime rib was extremely bland and lacked flavor. The Chinese section, aside from the General Tso's chicken, was particularly disappointing. The pasta dishes, including the macaroni and cheese over cooked and tasteless w alfredo being was oddly sweet was extremely underwhelming. And honestly, this is what surprised me most about the entire experience. It's not as though the buffet has an enormous number of dishes that would make it impossible to maintain quality. The selection is relatively limited, and many of the individual dishes are not particularly difficult to prepare. Yet so many of them were either poorly seasoned, undercooked, overcooked, bland, or simply not executed well. When you have a smaller selection of dishes, you would expect those dishes to be done really well. Instead, it felt like there were only a handful of things that were actually worth eating. That is what made the experience so surprising and disappointing. Overall, a large majority of the food was simply not good enough to justify going to a buffet. At nearly $200 for four people, I expected significantly better quality and consistency. What made this experience even more disappointing is that this was my parents' first time staying at the Borgata. Unfortunately, the food experience was poor enough that it actually made them less interested in wanting to stay at the hotel again. When you're spending money on a casino resort, the dining experience is part of the overall experience--and a bad meal can definitely affect whether you want to return. Borgata used to be one of my favorite places to go in Atlantic City, so I really wanted to like it. But after this visit, I'm not sure I would choose it over newer properties like Hard Rock or Ocean Casino Resort. Those properties may be newer, but at this point, I think I'd rather spend my money there than return to this buffet. Overall: very disappointing, especially considering the price and what I remember Borgata being like in the past.

No worries, I used the ranch from the wings and all was good. I liked the shaved Parmesan and the fact that someone took the time to slice the tiny grape tomatoes, precious.
