I can not say enough good things about this restaurant!! I have a gluten and soy allergy and there were so many things in the menu for me to eat! The chef came to the table and was extremely hospitable and gracious and everything was delicious!!!
Oof. On the positive side, the food was pretty good! We got two pizzas and two salads to share between four people. The gluten free pizza is $5 “upgrade” (which if you have a gluten allergy, you know this isn’t like an amenity you get to splurge on…). Anyway, on to the negatives. Our first clue should have been that they had tables available at 7pm on a holiday weekend. The hostess kept apologizing for having it take a while to clear the tables, which we were like ‘no big deal?’ But perhaps this was just some preemptive apologizing for how bad the service would be. First, no one acknowledged us for about 20 minutes, even when we’d try to catch someone’s eye. Our server came and we ordered everything. My MIL tried to order 2 different beers (both out). Drinks came one at a time because something was wrong with the tap. The second beer that came out was half beer and half foam and they informed my MIL that her 3rd choice wasn’t available. She ordered a corona and they brought the wrong beer. We figured it wasn’t worth saying anything at that point. Our server seemed pretty grumpy. TBH I don’t begrudge service workers for being grumpy with how hard their jobs can be and the horrible people they often have to deal with. But it seems indicative of the less than ideal working conditions. Finally, the prices were ridiculous for what you got. I understand a shore markup, but yikes. Overall, we won’t be returning. I hope they get some better management and reconsider the prices on things.
The only thing better than the food is the incredibly friendly staff! The menu has a great combination of lighter fare and pub classics, with gluten free options to boot! Everything was delicious and they also have an amazing mocktail menu. We will most definitely be coming back!
Took an informal survey on 96th Street about the best pizza on the island this afternoon and this place was the unanimous favorite of people working in the stores.
Ordered two specialty pizzas and a gluten-free pie with peppers and onions. They did not disappoint! The Buffalo Chicken had wonderfully seasoned chicken with a swirl of blue cheese around the pie. The Meat Lovers had perfectly cooked Pepperoni, Sausage and Bacon with crunchy seasoning. The gluten-pizza was some of the best my wife has eaten.
Staff and atmosphere were also great. Brianna (the two-sport standout from Stockton University!) and the owner answered all my questions and made me feel welcome. Thanks guys! We will be back!
My wife ordered chicken marsala - the waiter assured us they can cook it gluten free. She became violently sick after one hour and I almost had to take her to urgent emergency care. If they say they cook gluten free don't believe them! Her meal was cooked in flour. Also, no communication or apology from the restasurant and that speaks volumes in itself.
