I have selected Bahrs Landing as my yearly visit for Soft Shell Crab (most commonly blue crabs that…read morehave recently molted their hard outer shell to grow. Caught immediately after shedding, the entire crab can be eaten...shell and all. They offer an intensely sweet, rich flavor and a delicate, crispy texture when cooked). Bahr's Landing prepares this sautéed crab with capers, mushrooms, lemon & butter, mashed potatoes and vegetables. My go-to appetizer is always the Grilled Cauliflower (Topped with tomato pesto, quinoa, and wild rice blend). The crispness of the cauliflower....brushed through the surrounding ingredients.....makes this the perfect starter. Aside from enjoying the mouth-watering food, you'll also feel as if you're dining on a ship, have great views of the pier, water, and the bridge leading into Sandy Hook Beach. Don't forget to visit their gift shop and view all of the maritime decor and beautiful woodwork.

We ordered clams casino which were meh, lobster bisque had no lobster and was over salted. I ordered scallops, shrimp and crab over risotto.

My partner had the Captains dish, lobster tails were again over seasoned. His shrimp was ok. Safe your money and go somewhere else.

Adding fresh sliced jalapeños would help deliver the heat and flavor that a spicy margarita should have. Fried Calamari Appetizer - The calamari tasted like a store-bought product rather than freshly prepared. The portion was also surprisingly small, especially considering it was served with two fairly large containers of dipping sauce. Surf and Turf - The steak tenderloins were overcooked, and the shrimp were also on the overcooked side. The scallops, however, were cooked well. Overall, the dish lacked seasoning and could have benefited from more salt and flavor. Eggplant Parmesan - The pasta was undercooked, and the eggplant was sliced so thin that the breading overwhelmed the actual eggplant flavor. On a positive note, the sauce had good flavor and was the highlight of the dish. Service - Our server was friendly and pleasant, but rarely checked on our table throughout the meal. The food runners also seemed disengaged; when we thanked them, they simply stared at the table without acknowledging us. Additionally, one server's attire appeared unprofessional for the dining environment, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place for more than bar food (Pizza, burgers, & beers).

We ordered the fish tacos, birria tacos, and kettle-style potato chips--and every plate came out looking as good as it tasted. The fish tacos were beautifully assembled, piled high with crisp, fresh slaw that added the perfect crunch to the tender, flaky fish underneath. Light, clean, and balanced. The birria tacos were the star of the table. Rich, deeply seasoned meat tucked into perfectly griddled shells, served with a savory dipping broth that takes each bite to another level. Messy in the best way possible--and completely worth it. Even the kettle-style potato chips stood out. Thick-cut, golden, and topped with just the right amount of flavor to make them more than just a side--they held their own next to the tacos. The overall experience ties everything together: polished yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that clearly have intention behind them. It's the kind of place where you can tell care is put into both the food and the experience. Atlantic House isn't just a good meal--it's a spot you'll want to come back to, and one I'd recommend without hesitation.

Well, I was finally able to check it out recently with a friend, and we both immediately fell in love with the place. The bar was at the end of a long parking lot and offered several different areas. There was a tented space with picnic tables, a sand-covered lagoon with couches and firepits, a pier with loads of dining tables, a small space for their frequent live music, a giant bar, and many other lounge chairs scattered about. The bar offered a variety of beers, wines, cocktails, and even mocktails. My Aperol Spritz was robust and well-balanced. We also ordered food from Cuts & Catch, which was a food truck and grill near the entrance to the bar. Their menu supposedly changes often, but they focus on both surf and turf items. When we arrived around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening, a majority of the menu was already sold out. In some ways, that helped ease the selection process, but it also meant that a few of the things that had appealed to us (chicken kebabs, for instance) were no longer an option. We each ended up getting an order of the Fried Fish Tacos and shared a Shrimp Cocktail. The tacos were served in portions of three. The small corn tortillas were wrapped around large pieces of crispy, flaky fish tenders and a cabbage slaw. We both thought they looked basic, but they tasted phenomenal! The raw bar dish included five jumbo shrimp with a side of cocktail sauce. The shellfish were plumb and very fresh. We were still a bit hungry after these items, especially since we had spent the day at the beach, so we also shared an order of fries for the ride home; the thin, crisp fries were perfectly salted and simply delicious. The live music and views of the sunsetting over the marina made for a lovely atmosphere, and the excellent food and drinks made the experience that much better. We cannot wait to return!

Been here plenty of times, all different times, all different days, all different situations..most…read moreof the times I've brought my kids and was with friends who had there kids as well and have had a great time , always one of my favorite places to go and have brought plenty of people here for the first time and always recommend it. went over this past weekend and am so turned off by the way we were treated, we got there around 2pm and it was fairly empty I was with my husband 2 other couples and a total of 6 six kids (2 of which are under 1 year old) then a 5 year old, 3 year olds and a 2 year old. we were made to feel so uncomfortable and out of place that we left after an hour and half when we all planned to stay for well over that. We got there and were maybe one of 4 parties, we were using a picnic table and some chairs having drinks, our kids were playing with sand toys in between us and everytime someone moved from the chair this man would come and take the chair away (started out with 2 tables & 8 chairs, then he ended up Moving a hole table and 4 chairs away) we didn't mind we just moved to the teepee and the picnic table, the security guard came over and asked us to keep the kids sand toys under the teepee said the "owner said so" , if you've been here you know that the teepee is not roomy enough for kids to play with sand toys but we just said ok, moved all the toys & went about our day, we ended up moving all our stuff and just using the teepee A little while later my 11 months old small dinosaur toy (a squishy bath toy) was outside of the teepee and this man walked over and moved it and said you need to keep the toys out of the walk way.... It was in the sand not in the walk way , I said ok no problem sorry about that and went about our day, music started playing and it got more crowded, with an older crowd, so we understood the chair and the toy situation a little more (which they could of just said , we have a band playing and expecting a lot of people and we woulda understood) so the kids were into the music and wanted to see it and went under the tent and they were dancing and watching the band, for a good amount of time, I would 100% not complain if any of the kids were being annoying (understandably I know kids can be assholes lmao) the security guard came over and said "the owner said no kids under the tent" It's usually a VERY kid friendly place and I've never been made to feel so uncomfortable, we were with a good amount of people and definitely woulda got a lot of drinks and food at some point, our kids weren't being annoying they were playing by us and watching the band. I hate how mad this made me because I usually love this place so much, I even had to ask the bartender if it was new owners because I've never experienced this before and it makes me not want to go back which sucks
