Had a lovely atmosphere and great food. The manager and Rodrigo, a food runner, made the experience better. We only saw our waiter once. Service was subpar for the price. It’s definitely a great place to come for good food. Lobster Mac and cheese, turkey club, fish n chips, and crab cake sandwich were very nice.

We had a fabulous experience enjoying the beautiful ocean view and the fresh seafood !!! Started with garlic clams and grilled Buffalo octopus… followed by the lazy lobster scampi and grouper risotto, it was amazing! Very fresh seafood. Highly recommend! Also waiters were extremely friendly. Thank you for an amazing Sunday afternoon experience.

So where do I start?

I guess I’ll start with, do you see this view? It’s unbelievable!

The food was great, I highly recommend trying everything, as this was my first experience, I know I’ll be coming back.

The wait was worth it, we ordered two rum buckets while we waited and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery. The rum buckets are awesome! Give them a try.

On my next trip I plan on trying the sushi, it looked great. The sushi chefs know how to make a good looking plate.

This spot has easily become one of my go-to spots while down at Sandy Hook. Next time I’m about leave the beach, before I pack up and head back to the car, I’m calling ahead and checking the wait time and getting on the list.

Do yourself a favor and try this spot.

My sister and I cane here after a day at Sandy Hook, and were looking forward to a good meal. We weren’t disappointed. We sat right by the water and had a wonderful waterside view. We started off with cocktails, the mango daiquiri and the blue river, which were very good in liquor strength and size for the low happy hour price. Next, we moved onto stuffed crab and killer oysters for appetizers. We both ordered the Inlet Cafe assortment of grilled seafood. It was very fresh and flavorful. To top it off, we ordered dessert which is reason enough to come here (also for the oysters). The apple tart and smore sundae were sensational, and a marvelous finish to our wonderful meal. Our server, Laura, was friendly and helpful with menu suggestions and drink recommendations. This place had an upbeat atmosphere and was spacious inside and out. Inlet Cafe is on my go to list for this area!

Bartender was awesome. We got to see the menu online before we were seated. The waitress was nice. Food came out fast and hot and fresh. Price point was completely fair.

We had lunch outside, overlooking the beach. The ambiance was very relaxing. The waiter was very nice and professional. The food was very delicious. We will definitely come back. The only downside was that the blue Hawaiian was GREEN.

Location Location Location, is great.
A tad expensive. Food was good. Service was slow. Frozen margaritas were great but pricey at $15 each. I’ll be back due to the location.

I’ve been coming back ever since my 1st visit 4yrs ago. The mixed drinks are hit or miss so I stick with beer. The steamers were my go to but beware… they now give less but charge more, a whopping $30 and they charge a $4 service fee for using a credit card but don’t tell you up front and you have to ask for an itemized bill; otherwise they just sneak it in there. Today I got the steamers and a cocktail and my bill was $48 ??? For the same view, level of service and quality of food Bahr’s is a better value @ $26 for more steamers. It’s ridiculous to have a $50 bill for steamers and a drink. Truly disappointed in The price gouging.

Under new management. That same plate of about 25/28 steamers for $30 is now only 15 steamers for the same price. Literally cut the quantity & quality of food in half but charges the same $30. That’s the last of my business they’ll ever get. Completely new wait staff, all inexperienced and not customer service focused. Unable to answer simple questions. New owner hasn’t bothered to clean the outside patio of old spilled ketchup and beer on the walls, napkins were on the floor. No more atmosphere, no quality, ridiculous pricing.

Best thing about this place is outdoor seating by the water and we had good service.

Mahi tacos were flavorful but there was only 1 small piece of mahi in each taco. My GF had the lobster roll and she enjoyed it.

Came here for a late lunch on a blustery fall day after visiting Sandy Hook.

We prefer to sit outside, so we were pleasantly surprised by the clear plastic windbreaks the restaurant put up so we could enjoy the outdoors and the nice view without all the wind.

We were really impressed with the selection of non-fried seafood on the menu. We had an impressively flavourful (and lobster packed) lobster roll, and a selection of broiled scallops, shrimp and white fish in a tasty butter sauce. The clam chowder was also flavorful and full of clams.

A great experience… Looking forward to our next visit!
