"The food is delish and the drinks (beers and cocktails are great. Typically, that checks enough boxes to get me back for more. My recent experience here, however, asked me why I wanted to go here. I do not agree that they are a family-friendly place, at least for younger children who are unable to sit still in their place for the entire meal. To make a long story a little short, I will say that my family and my sister family were excited to go here, but we were immediately made to feel how we did it?t belong to our three children who are very pleasant and happy while we are also active and curious. We were encouraged not to sit in the dining area if we could not guarantee that the children stay at the table. So we readily took the unpleasant hint and sat in the bar area at a high summit. Two of the three children sat down at our feet and our server came by and put all their utensils on the table (while they were in the middle of use! while passive-aggressively comment on them on the ground. Although we were admittedly annoyed because there were no one else around us and they played out harmlessly from anyone, we understood something that they could be technically a risk of triggering. So we tried to move outside to make our server happy, just to conduct another passive aggressive and detestable conversation with the manager who informed us that they have no permission to allow food or drinks outside. So, we stayed on our high-top, but bear what seemed to be many stars and anger from the staff. All 4 adults were very uncomfortable, so we decided to finish our outside (after tasty drinks and a little light fare. Typically, I try every restaurant twice, because I think everyone has a right to a free day, but my recent experience made my family and my sister family feel VERY unwelcome and uncomfortable. With so many other facilities on the LBI that are more than willing to make families welcome and supervised, I will certainly bring my business elsewhere."
