Gina's in Millville draws a crowd because food is so good

MILLVILLE - It was below freezing on a mid-week night when we went to Gina's, but the frigid weather didn't keep customers away. This charmingly decorated restaurant is pretty small, housing less than a dozen tables, but it is big in other ways, which is why, no doubt, we had to pass some time until we were seated.

Colombian cuisine debuts at El Rancho del Pollo in P'ville

Previous home to a Mexican restaurant and a uniform supply company before that, the building at 375 S. Main St. in Pleasantville now houses El Rancho del Pollo serving Colombian cuisine.

800 Bay has extraordinary food served with a French flair

SOMERS POINT - For years, we have been fascinated by the red brick and wood structure located at 800 Bay Ave. in Somers Point. Something about the building with its many interesting architectural details demands your immediate attention. Maybe its the wrap-around porch that leads to the comfortable foyer, or maybe the sweeping vistas extending out to the barrier islands, but the building definitely has a personality all its own. Several restaurateurs have tried and eventually failed at making a go of it in this very same spot. Hard to believe, since the location has so much going for it. Restaurant concepts are much more fleeting than sturdy structures. Through several semi-successful concepts, the now simply named 800 Bay Restaurant & Bar, may prove to be the one that finally succeeds.

Vincenzo's serves wonderful Italian cuisine in trattoria setting

Everyone has a favorite go-to Italian restaurant, and there is certainly no shortage of them. They're all pretty good, too. Most of the menus we find offer standard fare we've become accustomed to: an array of pasta dishes with all kinds of sauces, "homemade" specialties such as lasagna and gnocchi, plus seafood, chicken and veal entrees prepared every which way you can imagine. This is what we expect and look forward to.

Friendly Hi Point Pub in Absecon excels at bar food

ABSECON- If your idea of a pub is simply a bar that also serves some food, you might want to browse through the menu at Skelly's Hi Point Pub, but make sure you have a few extra minutes.

Food, service and views: Latitudes in Lacey Twp. has it all

Everything about our visit to this restaurant seemed familiar. As my guest and I slowly drove along winding East Lacey Road, I knew I had been there before, especially when we approached the building that sits along the river at the end of the street. In fact, I had been there five years ago to review this restaurant when it was called Southwinds (the marina where it's located is still referred to as Southwinds).

Fabulous decor with food to match found at Fin

Visually, Fin at the Tropicana Casino and Resort is stunning. Overlooking the ocean, the former Wellington Steakhouse has been transformed into a chic seaside oasis. No expense was spared to create an environment that whisks you away from the tumult of the casino floor to a place that oozes luxurious tranquility. With a color scheme of soft sea blues and greens, every facet of the decor is exquisite, from floor-to-ceiling mosaic tiled columns to stylish glass charger plates and blue goblets set on white-clothed tables. A jazzy soundtrack adds an extra touch of panache.

Yuki Hana serves the best of Chinese, Japanese cuisines

BRIGANTINE - Chinese restaurants have become as common as Italian restaurants in our area, and Japanese restaurants, especially hibachi grills, are hot on their trails. This is not a bad thing, but it makes visiting those restaurants a little less exotic than it used to be.

Great food, impeccable service make meal at Ram's Head memorable

There are many reasons to reserve Ram's Head Inn in Galloway for a special occasion. Over and over, it's been referred to as the most romantic restaurant in the area. But whether you're looking for romance or not, you can't help but feel its effect by the time you leave.

Southern hospitality, good food found at Kelsey and Kim's

ATLANTIC CITY - We had the feeling we had been here before. We had, in fact, dined at the same table near the window, in another incarnation when it was still Corbin's on Melrose Avenue, one of our very first review restaurants. There was something familiar about the artwork, three squiggly mirrors and some candle sconces on the wall that evoked the memories. A quick survey out the window revealed an empty lot, an empty Boardwalk and a glimpse of ocean waves. Not much seemed to have changed at this end of the island, other than new ownership of the property, now called Kelsey and Kim's Southern Cafe.

Merrill's in Belcoville still offers delicious home cookin'

WEYMOUTH TOWNSHIP - You have to be of a certain age to remember when the trip to the Jersey shore from Philadelphia could only be made through a series of numbered roads and "shortcuts" through the Pine Barrens along winding backwoods blacktop. The watering holes and eateries that flourished along those old byways are now gone for the most part. Just past the intersection of Routes 40 and 50 in Mays Landing sits Merrill's Colonial Inn, in a green and white wooden building from another era, with a homestyle menu and a familiar atmosphere from a simpler time and place. And just like going home for dinner, mom is busy in the kitchen and daughter is out front clearing tables.

Legacy Restaurant's food above par, service exceptional

If a golf club is not one of your first choices when you think about where you would like to have dinner, you might change your mind once you've eaten at the Legacy Restaurant at Sea Oaks County Club in Tuckerton. For an affordable, top quality meal, it's as good as any restaurant in its class.

Beach House Restaurant on LBI serves seafood with flair

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: September 19, 2010

Each time I head to Long Beach Island, I feel as though I'm going on a vacation to someplace new. That's the fun and convenience of traveling to the "island" for a quick getaway.

Villa Fazzolari brings slice of Italian to Buena Vista Twp.

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: September 12, 2010

BUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP - We shouldn't have been surprised to find an Italian villa sitting smack dab in the middle of the township. There are, after all, several historical connections between Hammonton, Vineland and here ... and the many large Italian farming communities that bind them. Isn't it nice to discover a little taste of home, somewhere you least expect it?

Kitaro brings an Asian feel to the seaside city of Ventnor

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: September 05, 2010

VENTNOR - All the traffic signals were dark along the barrier island; as we got closer to Kitaro we realized that storefronts too, failed to offer their normal neon light. We pulled up in time to see a server dragging tables and chairs from the outside patio indoors. We knew that wasn't good.

The food stands out during meal at Neil's in Wildwood

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press restaurant critic

Posted: August 29, 2010

Neil's Island Pub & Grill sits a stone's throw from Morey's Pier, and the hubbub was palpable on a gorgeous summer night.

Food was good, but service needed work at Salvo Cucina

By C.C.HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: August 22, 2010

LONGPORT - We were the first to arrive for dinner at Salvo Cucina and caught the staff still sitting together at a corner table. It took them a second to realize customers had arrived and for someone to take charge and offer to seat us. We brushed some crumbs from the chair before we sat down and noticed other chairs at other tables were not quite ready for service to begin. Since Salvo Cucina serves lunch it must have been someone's job to straighten up the dining room and get it ready for dinner service.

White Heron Grill in Stone Harbor the epitome of summer cool

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: August 08, 2010

STONE HARBOR - If your life doesn't seem all black and white with little shades of gray, then you probably have never dined at the White Heron Grill in Stone Harbor. That color scheme runs from the exterior to the dining room, where a crisp and cool ambiance fills the space.

Plate takes its place among LBI summer dining destinations

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: August 01, 2010

SURF CITY - Long Beach Island is bursting with interesting places to dine, from flip-flop casual to upscale and everything in between. With an eclectic menu and understated d�cor, complete with white tablecloths and a pumping metro soundtrack, Plate seems to have found a comfortable place for itself on the trendy track.

The Diving Horse adds to Avalon's burgeoning reputation

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: July 25, 2010

AVALON - It's time to acknowledge the fact that Avalon has pulled up next to, if not surpassed, Cape May in the race for best restaurant city in South Jersey. One new notable addition to the local scene is The Diving Horse, a tres moderne, very handsome boite that we struggled to locate due to a neighboring hardware store that had its beach-chair selection strewn across their common lawn, causing the two businesses to blend together.

Sole in Stone Harbor perfect mix of Jersey shore and Italy

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: July 18, 2010

STONE HARBOR - It wasn't a nor'easter that blew us in here but a sudden summer thundershower. We waited it out in the car for a few minutes when, sure enough, we saw the sun again, this time in the form of Sole, the Italian word for sun, with an accent on the "e" and on wonderful Italian food.

Cape May Fish Market

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Updated: July 11, 2010 - 11:32 pm

CAPE MAY - A sea gull perched on the green awning overhead was screeching at the top of its lungs, something about fresh fish inside the Cape May Fish Market restaurant. Smart bird! The two things summer vacationers to the Jersey shore look forward to is swimming in the ocean and dining on some of the very same denizens of the deep that brush by our legs and nibble on our toes. In this instance, it seemed like turnabout would only be fair play.

La Fontana Bistro at Caroline's by the Bay worth checking out

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Updated: June 20, 2010 - 8:27 am

SOMERS POINT - We always considered Caroline's by the Bay to be one of those all-purpose places to have a drink and a quick snack in a pinch. Nothing about the menu would have taken us out of our way to stop and dine, and nothing about the decor would have made it a destination spot.

Luna offers Italian-American specialties to Wildwood diners

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: June 13, 2010

WILDWOOD - It was the week following Memorial Day that we went to Luna, and although this holiday usually signifies the official start of the summer season, it was apparent that local businesses were not yet in full swing. My guest and I dined alone for most of the evening, so we didn't experience what it's like to be fully entrenched in the Wildwood restaurant scene.

St. George's Pub in Brigantine serves up a tasty, large meal

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: June 06, 2010

BRIGANTINE - It must be obvious from the sign outside that St. George's Pub & Package Goods & Bar is more than just a typical bar/restaurant. With one wall displaying all of your favorite bar brands to go and one wall offering sports memorabilia and black-and-white photos of Atlantic City's heyday, St. George's manages to squeeze a large, busy bar and a bustling restaurant section into the space between.

Sandi Pointe Coastal Bistro delivers a fantastic meal, atmosphere

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: May 30, 2010

SOMERS POINT - When the legendary Mac's reopened its doors after a long hiatus, its new owners renovated the interior into a modern facility with chic d�cor. It was a welcome change that gave the place a much-needed boost.

Saddle up for tasty meal at Pistol Pete's in Pleasantville

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: May 23, 2010

PLEASANTVILLE - The parking lot at Pistol Pete's Steakhouse & Saloon was a strange brew of heavy duty Harley-Davidsons, cars with out-of-state license plates, and a decorative horse-drawn covered wagon, all vying for the same parking spots scattered around the building. The patrons grouped inside at the downstairs bar seemed every bit as eclectic as the vehicles in the parking lot outside.

Restaurant review: Ocean City Seafood Company scores a big hit with this clan

Posted: May 16, 2010

OCEAN CITY - This resort town has come a long way in recent years when it comes to family-friendly, affordable restaurants that offer quality food. Add the Ocean City Seafood Company to the list.

Burgers great at Tun Tavern, but other food is hit-and-miss

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Updated: July 07, 2010 - 8:26 pm

ATLANTIC CITY - Not too long ago, I stopped with a friend at Tun Tavern Restaurant & Brewery to have a quick bite after a shopping trip to The Walk. Located in the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center and Hotel, it's one of the most convenient places to eat while in that area.

ATLANTIC CITY - Most of the restaurants on the third floor level of The Pier Shops at Caesars have one thing in common - a spectacular view of the ocean and the Boardwalk.

The Latin House makes you feel at home in Atlantic City

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: April 25, 2010

ATLANTIC CITY - When it comes to restaurants, is it possible a "little hole in the wall" can be a good thing? In a town where casino restaurants often go over the top in decor and menu, the one forgotten piece of the puzzle is hospitality.

Buena Tavern not cheap, but the portion sizes sure are huge

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: April 18, 2010

BUENA - "Welcome to Buena Tavern!" Those friendly words came not from our hostess but from the printed paper placemat on our table, a placemat that would later become the bane of our existence.

Dakota Prime in Vineland gives hotel dining a good name

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: April 11, 2010

VINELAND - Generally, outside of a casino, I don't consider a hotel eatery the most desirable dining destination. But Dakota Prime Steak House and Sushi Bar inside the Ramada here has changed my mind.

Owner's infectious enthusiasm makes Macedonian Grill a treat

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: April 04, 2010

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - The menu at Macedonian Grill here reads like one of the Greek classics - page after page after page. The menu concept is Mediterranean and American cuisine. Choices include specialized groupings such as Seafood Delights, Mediterranean Seafood Delights, Greek Specialties, Macedonian Specialties, Italian Island and Mediterranean-style Dinners.

A few hiccups, but Megan's delivers on most fronts in Atlantic City

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: March 28, 2010

ATLANTIC CITY - Prominently situated at the corner of Indiana Avenue and the Boardwalk - with a gigantic billboard above it that nobody can miss - Megan's Good Grub & Pub has an ideal location with a terrific view of the ocean and the Boardwalk bustle. It's been a long time since I've eaten at a resort restaurant that's not located inside a casino, and it reminded me that there are, in fact, other choices when thinking about where to go here.

Quality of service an issue at Celina's in Galloway Township

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: March 14, 2010

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - Celina's Mulberry Grille & Market tries to cover all the bases, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Based on its location in a strip mall directly across from the entrance to AtlantiCare's Regional Medical Center and surrounded by several medical offices, Celina's would seem to have a built-in market - no pun intended.

Serafina's Ristorante brings southern Italian experience to Millville

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

MILLVILLE - You've seen the set-up a hundred times: An entryway leading into a takeout section where the pizza ovens reign supreme, then another doorway that opens into a small, simply decorated dining area.

Hibachi chefs put on great show at Momiji in Rio Grande

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: February 07, 2010

RIO GRANDE - Unless you've been to the circus, you may not appreciate the art of the hibachi chef. In place of juggling balls, there are assorted knives, spatulas and forks that float through the air, while it's food that works the high-wire act in the four center rings.

REVIEW: A good deal on good food at Mangone's Trattoria

By C.C.HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: January 24, 2010

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP - Why would anyone wait in line at the airport and suffer the abuse of removing shoes and belt just to fly to Italy to visit a trattoria? Our slowing economy has helped to spawn a plethora of busy bistros, trattorias, and diners, those family-style restaurants offering good food at reasonable prices, all around us. Who could ask for anything more?

Posted: January 17, 2010

POMONA - Many food snobs look down their noses at strip-mall restaurants. The reality is that many different cuisines can peacefully coexist side by side ... by side. And what emerges from that international culinary truce is plenty of choices for hungry dinners.

Great Chinese flavors missing at Billy Ho's in Margate

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

It's no wonder Chef Vola's has such a loyal customer base

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: December 20, 2009

ATLANTIC CITY - For years, there had been a steadfast mystique about Chef Vola's that, until recently, no one had been able to penetrate - unless he or she were one of the privileged people who had access to the unpublished phone number that might lead them to a reservation.

Seaville Tavern brings back memories of days gone by

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: December 13, 2009

OCEAN VIEW - We have been fans of tavern food since we were kids. Summer trips to the New Jersey shore always included lunch at some imagined halfway point out on a wooded back road. A tavern conjures up so much more than just a place to have a cold beer.

New location, same great meals at Casa Dori in Vineland

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: December 06, 2009

Three years ago, when I reviewed Casa Dori at its previous location, I was enamored by its cuisine steeped in true Italian family tradition. This time, I was equally pleased with our dining experience, which confirms that consistency is a key ingredient to a restaurant's success.

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: November 29, 2009

Panico's Bistro in West Cape May delivers Mediterranean flair

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: November 22, 2009

WEST CAPE MAY - We had obviously confused Panico's Bistro with another restaurant a block or so away. It was the candles on the metal tables and chairs in a little courtyard that finally caught our attention.

Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inn has real family feel

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

HAMMONTON - Restaurants don't stay in business for more than fifty years for nothing. Gimmicks and fads quickly wear thin and give way to the latest trends. No wonder so many small restaurants go under so fast.

Fuze brings the sophistication of New York to region

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: November 08, 2009

AVALON - Bright lights, small city. When pundits speak about restaurants having a New York vibe, they must have Fuze in mind. The interior is muted colors, grays and blacks, stone and wood, glass-block walls and a fly-curtain room divider made of more modern materials. One wall is all live candles, and the centerpiece of the room is a somewhat-sweeping set of stairs - set center stage - that leads to, or from, the hotel that shares the same building. The music is live and the menu is upscale. Sounds a lot like New York.

Michael's Mediterranean Cuisine delivers a great meal

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: November 01, 2009

VINELAND - It's always a treat to find an unexpectedly good, but little-known place to eat tucked away where you don't expect one to be. Michael's Mediterranean Cuisine is a little tricky to find at first because it's not on a main thoroughfare; however, once you discover it, you won't have any problems going back again and again.

Manteca's move to The Ebbitt Room pays big dividends

By TAYLOR YARBOROUGH, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: October 18, 2009

CAPE MAY - When Lucas Manteca closed Sea Salt in Stone Harbor to become executive chef at The Ebbitt Room, some of us wondered if he would be able to produce, on a larger scale, the same intricate, delicious cuisine that he became known for while cooking at his own small-but-sophisticated restaurant.

By C.C. HOYT, Press Restaurant Critic

Posted: October 04, 2009

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - Finding a gem of a restaurant in a strip mall is akin to discovering a pearl hidden in your oysters on the half-shell. The chances are a cool one in a million. But that is exactly what we found at a spur-of-the-moment meal at Feather Cafe & Grill, located in a little strip mall on the outskirts of the English Creek Shopping Center.

Report says national casino markets recovering from recession, but Atlantic City struggled in 2012

Most of the nation’s casino markets have finally recovered from the recession, propelling revenue from slot machines and table games to near-record levels in 2012, according to a new report on the economic health of the gambling industry. More »
