We enjoyed an outstanding dinner here! While staying nearby in Atlantic City for a conference, we…read morereally wanted to get away from that nasty area and one of our colleagues lives in the area and suggested we try Steve & Cookies. We got there and it looked, calm, simple, and plain from the outside - until we walked in... this place was PACKED! Clearly, since we didn't make reservations, we weren't going to enjoy seating at their white table cloth tables in the main dining room, but we went around back to their bar and scored one last table there. Our server, Brian was amazing... engaging... and on point! They have a nice wine list and perfect spirit list. They also have an outstanding menu loaded with so many options, that I really just needed to settle on the first thing I saw that looked good. For me, I love cucumbers and when I saw they had a cucumber salad, done Asian style, I was completely in!!! Then I saw their soup of the day was split pea with bacon and since no one serves split pea and when they do, it's rarely what I expect, I got that too! Both of these came out looking GREAT! The cucumber salad had a nice spice to it and the flavors overall were sooo on point! That split pea soup was also great... almost perfect! It had the exact texture this soup should have and the flavor was very nice. For my entrée I saw a few of the halibut as I was walking through the dining room, so that is what I chose. The halibut came out looking great! It was PERFECTLY prepared too!! The flavors were spot-on, and the accompanying veggies were great too. We were enjoying dinner so much that we didn't want it to end, even though we were full... so, we ordered desserts too. I opted for the banana cream pie, as this is another item I rarely see on a menu and when I do, it's rarely done right, but not here... they did it perfectly! Overall, amazing meal... Highly recommend stopping in, but make reservations first!

I lucked out with a seat at the bar at this busy, popular restaurant. My Farmhouse Shrub drink was…read moretasty and I loved the live piano music. I clearly ordered wrong. The fried sushi roll was tough on the outside and soaked in a spicy sauce. I only ate the tasty tuna interior. My seasonal crisp was apple. Really? In June? And it arrived covered in whipped cream AND ice cream. I clearly should have gotten the blueberry pie! The crisp was okay but the fruit was lost in the toppings. I'll try again another time.

The bar was definitely the scene though! It was packed. Ambiance was comfy but very noisy. Had the weather been pleasant, I'd have preferred the outdoor seating for this reason. But otherwise the service was friendly if slightly inexperienced. I noticed dishes weren't always cleared between courses and had to flag the server down a couple of times but again, pleasant enough. The food was definitely worthwhile with highlights being the octopus and crab cake sandwich. Portions were hardy enough to share! The only miss was actually the dessert. Maybe we picked poorly but the key lime pie was really lacking like flavor and the crust was nearly nonexistent. Skip dessert and go to the dairy bar nearby. Will come back for more yummy seafood!

They're only 2 blocks from the beach, so only street parking is available. There's a nice variety of breakfast & lunch options.

I opted for the salad & thought the vinaigrette was fresh & tasty. Service was prompt & friendly. I also liked that they brought out an ice bucket for my sparkling wine.

The photos on Yelp do not do this place justice. The downstairs area is on the casual side, but the upstairs dining area is nice! Not stuffy, but a little more upper echelon than the downstairs space. Cool bar area! We sat at a high-top and enjoyed a few glasses of wine (Sauvignon Blanc...house option). We split the meatball and the mussels in red sauce. That broth was bread-dipping good! Chicken Parm (red sauce), Chicken Parm (vodka sauce), the salad, and the seafood special for me. My entrée was mistakenly delivered to another table, and our server (Nicolette) was upset. They fired another one on the fly and it arrived minutes later. She comped our dessert to account for the error. So not necessary but so thoughtful. Her fun personality elevated our experience!

My dad selected the dining room at Venturas Greenhouse for Father's Day. He's pretty selective, so…read moreI had high hopes and I love trying a new to me establishment. Located next to Lucy the Elephant, Venturas Greenhouse has one part of the restaurant serving pizza, bar, food, and frozen drinks with a beach bar like vibe while the dining room is the more formal restaurant featuring steak, seafood, and pasta dishes. There was a roasted garlic bulb in olive oil for the bread, but the garlic could have been cut so that it's easier to get the garlic and spread it on the bread. As someone who gets down in the kitchen, I always cut the tops when roasting it for this purpose and it makes it so much easier to work with. My dad and his partner got the beet salad and my husband I shared what was described as dungeoness crab bisque. As a crab bisque lover, I was surprised when it came out like a chowder with large chunks of potatoes and huge pieces of crab. It was very flavorful, but so filling and not like the crab bisque I was used to having. For our entrees, my dad and his partner both got the sesame crusted salmon. I don't eat salmon, but they both seemed to enjoy it. My husband got the shrimp Parm, which I tried and wish I had ordered it instead of the chicken Roberto. My dish was very bland. Described as a chicken francaise with crab meat, the crab meat and chicken would have been dry, but the lemon butter sauce giving it life needed capers and seasoning. The veggies and potatoes served with it on the side were...awkward. A whole carrot, chunk of celery, a few slices of onion just seemed like it was parts of what we throw in a roast for flavor, and lacked effort as a side dish. For dessert we shared the limoncello cake, which was very light and exactly as expected. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Service was definitely not an issue. I would go back and try the bar area, as it seems like that is where this place may stand out the most, especially with their location.
