This restaurant is located inside the hotel lounge/bar area. The menu was small, but the Cajun pasta was amazing. I would say the atmosphere was a bit loud since they had a lot of guests hanging around. There was 3 different waiters that helped our table out.

Staying in town for the night for work and stopped by for a lite bite and happy hour. House Chardonnay was good. I ordered the slider crab cakes and they were really tasty. The bread had a good grill (pretty sure coated in butter), the crab cake was really good (and I’m pretty picky about crab cakes), and the sauce was the perfect amount and had a great taste. I was pretty surprised how good these were. Price was great too at ten bucks for the sliders. Bartender was friendly and music was a nice mix of relaxing. Just really a nice meal.

great spot right on the boardwalk! prompt service, amazing cocktail menu, with delicious and very fairly priced food. i had the tuna tacos and they were incredible and the perfect portion! the chips also double as a great salsa dip the floor to ceiling windows with a view of the ocean from the bar is incredible, with plenty of bar seats AND dining room space. located in the (newly renovated) Springhill Suites, so just walk on in the front doors and it’s right there! would recommend 10x over. absolutely amazing new spot!

Located in the hotel lobby that doubles as the eating area for breakfast for hotel guests. One friendly employee was doing it all, working the bar, and serving 3 tables. They had happy hour drinks and food till 7 pm. We Also came for restaurant week for dinner and it was a great deal with huge portions. Food was tasty. I had the shrimp, pork chop, and carrot cake. The shrimp first course was large enough to be a dinner. The cake was the biggest size I’ve seen, it could of been cut into 4 regular size slice. Cake was moist and flavorful. The broccolini was spicy, had a good crunch, and cooked well. According to menu, the dish should have come with asparagus, but instead I was served the broccolini. I forgot what vegetable it came with, but something to check. The grilled peach jam was sweet and flavorful and complimented the pork. My only complaint is I wish there was more pork chop.
Mashed potatoes were a little dry and lacked some flavor, but not bad. Atmosphere was okay, but was cozy and nice for being in a hotel lobby. Could have had more staff, but with weather, understandable that there would be less. Definitely a great place to stop for dinner during Restaurant week, and have a huge yummy 3 course meal for just $35

Atmosphere is nice, view is great. But foods are not so good. Dry salmon, tasteless rice. Shrimp sandwich is ok.

Walked in from the beach not expecting much at a hotel bar and grill. What an incredible find!! I had the grilled pastrami sandwich with their special brussel sprouts. Wow. Seated brussel sprouts with bacon, unbelievable. The pastrami sandwich had pickled shallots, so good. Highly recommend the bar and grill. The chef really knows how to cook. Service was very friendly as well.

No hostess, seat yourself, but there’s no sign saying that so it’s very unwelcome g. Couldn’t get into the patio area off the boardwalk, very awkward not knowing how to get in or where to go. Once in, we guessed and just sat awkwardly in the front lobby area which felt strange and unsure if that’s where we were supposed to sit. Then a server came and we ordered. The food was excellent, I’m talking really good! The Poseidon sandwich was amazing and should be a “famous” feature menu item. Aside from the food being delicious, the servers were arguing, complaining to the bar tender, back stabbing each other and you could feel the tension and uncomfortable feeling just hearing them and the problems of not getting enough tables, it’s not fair, she took this table from me, we were rotating and it got messed up, blah blah blah. Well here’s a solution, get a hostess! We will be back for the food, to go.

Typical food, nothing impressive. Not sure if they were short staffed but only saw 2 waitresses running the whole floor so serive was slow. The bar tender was very rude to everyone he talked too. Overall, not impressed.

They have a limited menu so you don’t have to try and figure to much out if your having a hard time deciding. They are also adding a patio seating area off the dinning area so this will make the boardwalk and ocean views a pleasure while having a meal or just a drink. I found the salmon and jerk chicken dinner we’re very nicely prepared and tasted nicely.

I come here to the HOTEL every year for 2-3 days with my family. This new restaurant isn’t that good. And the breakfast quality has also deteriorated. I don’t drink so can’t say much about the alcohol or bar. But the food we ordered wasn’t good, it’s basically the same 5 low quality ingredients that they interchange to make different meals. It’s like Chuy’s but somehow worse. The food is bland or overly salted. Tasted bad. We threw most of it out. Was afraid of getting food poisoning driving back home. And it was a bit overpriced compared to some of the other local restaurants we’ve been to. It’s all show, but maybe try just the bar.
