Wednesday 8/30/23 Outside dining and Karaoke. Seating great,Karaoke show great. Ordered wings and side salad, wings were dry and not cooked fresh or even on Wednesday, tried 1 and half of another even asked for little hot BBQ sauce, served barely warm. Waitress asked didn’t you like them I said no, not freshly cooked. Side salad was just bunch of lettuce and about 6 croutons. Waitress didn’t ask if I would like something else. Very disappointed. No manager or owner came to ask what the problem was. Expensive and not acceptable.

Wait staff was great and honest they get 5 stars. The three for service is only due to kitchen speed (not quality). At first never got menus as “kitchen was too busy and backed up”. The honesty was great but seemed odd. Then had strange issue with a drink ordered and showed up in a Dixie cup. (Martini style in that cup for the price was just a shame). The manager did agree and took care of it. They ran out of glasses another oddity. The saving grace was the food. Had three different pizzas a chicken salad and lobster rolls for 5 of us. Plenty of left over pizza and the others were very good. So because of our waitress and staff for being so honest about everything I will come back. Hopefully they find a way to be able to keep up with orders in future so I can make this a permanent spot for a great occasional sat night with live music. Let’s hope.

We made reservations for 6pm. We showed up and had to pay a 5$ cover for a band that did not start until 7pm. The fish from the fish and chips was really good, but the chips were crinkle fries from a bag. The Chicken Bacon Pizza was just ok.

Nikki’s was very good. Excellent service, and the food is out of this world. The chowder is amazing! I can’t wait to go back soon. Having worked in the restaurant business, I know just how tough it can be. From keeping your regular customers happy and getting new customers through the door.

Horrible experience! Two senior citizens just having dinner whacked with a $5 cover charge each. Band wasn’t even there yet. $12 for cheap Pinot Grigio that costs $7-8 at other establishments. The worst part, though, was when I received my salad with no dressing, I was charged an extra $.75 for the dressing! The hummus and vegetables were slimy and inedible. The waitress kept apologizing and said the owner was not there. I think it’s very important to have an owner there, especially on the weekends. They really need to get their act together!

Was somewhat disappointed. I came on Wednesday 8/9 with 2 people and wanted to sit inside. Waitress asked our preference, we said inside. She then replies that there is a private party inside. So…why ask? I would call ahead next time to make sure indoor seating was available.

Very nice place near the beach with indoor and outdoor seating. Live entertainment outside on various nights. Reservations for outdoor seating are recommended. Food is excellent and servers are friendly. Prices are reasonable with a variety of food. Enjoyed eating there and watching the fireworks. The event was very well run. Chicken marsala was delicious! Looking forward to next year!

Great find next to Short Beach. No foodie today, just a quick cocktail-about. The staff is very friendly. The menu looks fantastic. Interesting cocktail specials. A very good live music line-up. The interior and ambiance is perfect. Outside dining too. Nice views.
