There are several rooms to this restaurant, and it is actually located underneath a bowling alley. Talk about a hidden gem, literally! We enjoyed the live entertainment. The performer was fantastic! There was a small dance floor in front of him, and rumor has it the patrons often jump up and cut the rug. I even got a birthday serenade, table-side. So cool! If a menu offers Pasta and Crab, then you can bet your hiney I am ordering it. This place DID IT UP. Huge chunks of real crab. More crab than any other restaurant in South Jersey (really, more than any other restaurant in the entire state of New Jersey...I order this dish everywhere). The red gravy was balanced (more tart than sweet, which is what I prefer). The house salad that arrived ahead of the entrees was delicious. Creamy yet light dressing, if that even makes sense. Our party of 7 raved about everything we ordered. The garlic bread was even insanely delicious. There are so many restaurants in the area, but THIS is one we will return to time and time again. We were in the area one week later and ordered some pasta and crab to-go. It traveled back to Voorhees beautifully. Thanks for making my celebration so special, Alfe's!

I had the grill grouper one of 5 fishes of the day (on a Tuesday..not a good sign) fish had zero flavor and tasted like it was purchased on Friday. Guess the chef was trying to get one more day- server sounded surprised and said all of our fish comes in fresh everyday...(she did remove from the check) Anyway got a side order of cheese ravioli not hot and the sauce did have a slightly burnt taste as well.

Steve came out from the kitchen to say hello to a lot of the customers and his wife was one of the most pleasant people we've met in the restaurant business. Dinner started with complimentary garlic bread and gravy. Our apps were amazing. The honey ricotta was so delicious and the bruschetta was very fresh. All of our entrees were fantastic. I had the crab with red gravy and it was the perfect portion and taste. My wife tried a new entree which I believe was called Seafood Frederick and she said it was delicious. The chicken parmigiana dish was huge and my daughter really enjoyed it. The decor is so cool with throwback pictures of old time Wildwood. Keep up the great work. Definitely will be back and we absolutely recommend it for a wonderful and affordable dinner.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The atmosphere and waitstaff were still excellent and were easily the highlights of the evening, but the food was extremely disappointing. Two of us ordered lobster tail with our entrées, and both were severely overcooked to the point of having a paste-like texture and being inedible. The accompanying white sauce was bland and flavorless. A steak ordered medium-well arrived rare. Given how exceptional our first experience was, we were surprised by the dramatic difference in the quality and preparation of the food. We had expected another wonderful meal and instead left very disappointed. Regrettably, based on this experience, we will not be returning. We brought home the rare steak for our dog and he did not even want it.

My wife ordered a Caesar salad instead of the salad that came with the entrée, and there seemed to be a slight misunderstanding as we were charged the full price of the Caesar salad, which was $17. On a positive note, I ordered the Pescador, which was delicious. It was the first time I ordered something new in years and I'm glad I did. We might deviate from our typical plan and go somewhere else next year.

They wanted just something small with family and a few friends. After one family member recommended The Grand Hotel, I found they had a restaurant attached- Hemingways. I have never been to this hotel or the restaurant so I was unsure if they could accommodate a large group. Right from the first phone call, they were on board! Thankfully there was not another event that day and they truly seemed excited to have us book with them. Their events manager, Haley, reached out to me to plan our dinner. We ended up emailing which was so easy and convenient. She helped me nail down a menu and all the little details - down to the linen color. It was much more than I expected! My sister made a cake and I all but expected to have to do the cake in someone's hotel room but she told me they would be happy to put out a cake table and that she even had a cake stand we could use! The day of the event I was shocked to see the tables decorated so beautifully with sand, seashells, printed menus, and the cutest napkin rings. Our waitress Shannon was amazing and was on top of everything! Since the event was put together so quickly, I didn't have huge expectations. I can honestly say that the restaurant went above and beyond to make the evening so special. The food was awesome, everything came out hot and delicious. 10/10

Our favorites were: the grilled shrimp bruschetta, the scallops, and the lobster scampi. The shrimp bruschetta was such a great appetizer that could easily be promoted to an entree if the restaurant chose to. It was such a good balance of flavors and it was plated so beautifully. The crab cakes were a very lump cake that was very good. The scallops went so well with the capers and the potato puree. Everything served to us was so delicious and I could've easily gone for seconds for each dish. The only criticisms I had of our meal was that the service was a bit slow and the lighting was a tad too dim. I would still highly recommend checking out this place, the food has a lot of unique personality, is good value, and incredibly delicious.

The restaurant is located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. The staff is friendly. The food was ok. The food was cooked, hot, but flavorless. We ordered fried calamari, chicken cheesesteak, and special #11 - fried clam strips with fries. My sister did not like her chicken cheesesteak. It was warm and freshly made, but flavorless. It almost seemed microwaved. Fried calamari had no flavor either. The breading was decent, but flavorless. My order of fried clam strips was not what I'm used to. I've had clam strips in Rhode Island that were actual clams, fried and flavored so well that it was the star dish. It could have been better. We ordered to go. The inside looked dingy so it's not meant to be a sit in restaurant. Overall, from this experience, I would say the food can definitely be improved, but I would look elsewhere.

We also got the bread for the table (complimentary) and 5 of these came with a salad or soup. Food was good but nothing blew me away. Very friendly waitress who regularly checked in with us. I had the sea bass, which was served with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. I very much enjoyed that dish. It does get a bit loud inside so could be touch to talk to people at the end of a long table, but they do easily seat large groups!
