Shopping mall
Shopping
The Playground Pier is a shopping mall located on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It features a wide range of stores, including both high-end and budget options, making it a great place to shop for anything you need or want. The Stephen Starr restaurant Continental is easily one of the most versatile restaurants in the pier, with dishes ranging from $9 all the way up to $22.
Slide 1 of 8
Nice looking mall, but barely anything to do. There are only about 3 or 4 stores open in the entire mall and the restaurants were closed too. I'm not sure if more things will open up during the summer but I was here during April 2023 and it was pretty dead. Definitely do not go out of your way to come here. It's nice to stop by if you're passing though. I still gave it a very high rating because there was good music playing, the views are nice, and I managed to get myself a ring from one of the stores that was actually opened. I've wanted a cheap, silver ring for a couple of years now but never actually got around to purchasing one so I'm glad the opportunity presented itself here. The store owner was nice. Basically everything in the store was $10, but because we purchased a lot of things, he told us that we can pick out 4 rings for $10 so I ended up getting my ring for only $2.50. My sister picked out the other 3 for herself. I hope more places open up here and it becomes busy again because it's honestly a really nice building and has a nice ambience.
Due to the time of the year many stores restaurants were closed. Combine that with the fact that we're in a COVID economy and there wasn't a lot of places that were really open. It's a nice location. Three levels on the third level you can only come down via elevator or escalators. You cannot walk across into Caesars The second level and first level. Second level you can walk across on the sky bridge enclosed protected from the elements. The first level you walk underneath the sky bridge and you're out with a wind can can hit you. There were some people who were walking the top level end to end cuz it's pretty damn long and a good place to get your exercise. They're also generic non-specified seating where someone could grab their lunch, bring it with them and sit down and just chill. So it was a nice atmosphere but again very subduated and sedated because of this time of year and post COVID.
In Atlantic City for the day and stumbled upon this vacant mall. Only had 1 open business left, a jewelry store that appears to be closing too. The view from the seats in the 3rd floor was great. Sad to see so much of AC empty. — at Atlantic City Playground on the water. “This mall is officially Abandoned this mall is America summed up in nutshell corporate greed has led to ever store fleeing this mall, the owner have nobody to play but themselves. Truly embarrassing”.
I would highly recommend a visit but the place is incredibly sad. You can see what was once a great looking mall, and it almost appears it still could be, but it's largely empty now. Why the high rating? It's a nice spot in the AC that sits almost directly on the water. Just head to the third floor and all the way down the hall for a great view. Seeing the 70s theming is neat as well. Overall, another great location with absolutely great potential that has been left abandoned and empty. I hope someone can find a good use one day for this awesome spot.
Kind of a monument to late-stage capitalism at this point; the majority of the mall is deserted, with only a couple businesses still open. Very surreal experience, but also quite neat. One of my favorite stops on our trip to AC, as it was one of the very, very few places that wasn't a consistent, overwhelming din of awful music at hearing loss inducing decibel ratings.
Ghost town with a nice view. Only a few stores open in the whole place. Haven't been here in years but it is honestly a sad shell of itself. Skip it and go to the outdoor stores and outlets.
Long board walk but fun to walk are ride a 🚲 also good for a morning exercise.
We visited early, so most places were closed. Fifteen years ago, my husband and I were here for a craft beer tasting on our honeymoon.

The Quarter at Tropicana has a great selection of shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. The casino itself is less than stellar, but the service at Broadway Burger was excellent and Andy the manager was top notch.
Slide 1 of 8
Great place to shop and have fun. Places to eat and a funny comedy club. If you go here you have to hit the locals at the comedy club. Cheap and no drink minimum. Fun.
The Tropicana is one of our favorite hotels / casinos in Atlantic City. The design is very interesting and there's a ton to do (including a movie theater, a ton of shops, and many restaurants). Some of the best and most unique restaurants and experiences are at The Tropicana.
Plenty to see. Lots of shops and food options. Worth just walking around or grabbing a quick bite to eat before hitting the casino. Recommended stop in stlantic city nj
The food at Broadway Burger was great. Service was beyond excellent. Andy the manager was top notch. The casino leaves a lot to be desired. Ladies room was DIRTY. Many of the machines are old and in disrepair. Caesars should put less money into its online gambling and more into the physical casino before this is just an empty building. AGAIN, BROADWAY BURGER WAS 5 STAR!!
I hadn't been here in years. definitely showing it's age. It was interesting when first opened but now just tired and worn. Nothing of class. Noted some drunk unsavory patrons. Not an atmosphere that I enjoy. In need of a rehab.
Excellent everything me and my wife celebrate our anniversary and we really enjoyed the stay and the place.
Booked a room for two adults & a child for us to arrive at the resort and told that the room booked was a smoking room on a smoking floor. Not only was there no classification of the room prior to booking, I'm charged an extra $92 a night for 4 nights. Why would you put a two- year old on a smoking floor & charge me an extra $400 for the resorts mistake! I was charged about $1200 for 4 nights. RIDICULOUS!
Read reviews and was super excited to go. After driving around for 20mins looking for $$ parking, we finally made it to building. Besides the beautiful main entry and tropical feel, it was not much to write home about. Super pricey, sparse stores. EXTREMELY overpriced Starbucks- 30 for 3 coffees. I mean sure...I get it. Prices are more expensive in these places but seriously. For what we got, that should be a crime. We sipped coffees then left. It's a location you visit to check off you visit/ bucket list and that's it. Nothing more. 3 stars are for the overall tropical feel and ambiance.

The Wild Wild West Casino is a vibrant gambling destination within a large hotel resort that boasts an excellent decor and features gaming tables, slot machines, and a poker room. It also stands out for its great bar located on the casino floor, which is connected to Ballys and Caesars Casinos. Additionally, visitors can enjoy live shows inside the casino's Caesars Sportsbook theater or stumble upon DJ performances and live music sessions with cover bands.
Slide 1 of 9
Excellent decor! Great bar located on the casino floor! This is connected to Ballys and Caesars Casinos. The Caesars Sportsbook theater is located in this area. Stumbled along a DJ performance and live music session with a cover band! It is awesome that the casino holds live shows inside it. This was at 12AM on a Saturday! A great way to end a night of gambling and drinking.
As far as casinos go, this one was fun for its age. Visited the bars here, too, and they were well-stocked and had friendly staff. There is a darkened, cozy area of game play that includes tables and slots, along with sports betting. This one is located between Caesars and Ballys with interior access, so you do not need to go outside.
Cool place and loved the theme! Not very many slots to play. You needed a wristband at the door to order drinks from the bar. A little pricey on my margarita. The band that was playing seemed fun and very lively.
The place was very exquisite and to be Frank... It's a complete different world for people going there for the first time. It was my first time and I had a good time with my friends. It has lot of options and the restaurant was just as perfect! Loved it ❣️💕
It's a fun place to visit for a good time but , AVOID THE SLOTS LIKE THE PLAGUE, Because there are no slot attendants available should there be a problem like my case . I had to walk away from my $75 winnings because there's no one here to help. After winning, the Slot machine malfunctioned. I called the slot attendant service, security, and the pitt boss with no avail, although, the issue was resolved the next day and hopefully with enough complaints, Corporate will hire more slot attendants....it's a great place for entertainment, live music, cheap drinks, and good food.
Just a very cool casino Enjoy the theme. Big roomy place and im sure they could have good concerts there. Regular non -gambling and unique arcade style games as well. Have been there several times.
I was at the Caesar's Sportsbook @ Wild Wild West Casino. Reserved seats to watch NFL games on a Sunday. Seats were reserved with nametags. Staff was great, Kile,bringing food and cocktails to your seat. What a fun day. Will return.
So many things I really love about this casino. The decor and lighting REALLY make you feel like you’re in some old fancy western spot, the music is always fantastic, and there’s even some arcade games hidden throughout! On weekends there’s lots of live music, sometimes even an emo band (my favorite) which always feels like a real concert. The music here is really unbeatable compared to other late night spots. The AC snack shack next to the bar has THE best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. It comes with pesto, mozzarella, and some other stuff and it’s the most heavenly drunk food a man could think of. I love this place and can’t wait to come back!
Went to go see the Gab Cinque band, Casino was very nice and I never would have been here if it wasn't to watch this amazing band play, I'm glad we found this casino because it's very nice, very clean, and the staff is amazing

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Absecon Lighthouse stands tall over the Atlantic Ocean, offering sweeping views of Atlantic City and the New Jersey shoreline. The lighthouse is open for climbing during daylight hours only and may close in adverse weather conditions. The tower and grounds are also home to a museum with artifacts dating back to the mid-19th century.
Slide 1 of 9
Came in and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the lighthouse. They have a little free museum on the bottom floor and then you have to pay to walk up to the top of the lighthouse. The walk up will definitely let you know what physical shape you are in. The view is pretty good and worth visiting
I first visited this magnificent lighthouse about 6 years ago. I did the 228 step climb and got to first meet Buddy. My most recent visit was this past 4th of July weekend. This time after finishing my climb I met Bayard. Both gentlemen along with the gentlemen that works downstairs are absolutely wonderful. They have such great knowledge about the history of the lighthouse and are just a delight to talk to. I am shocked that both Bayard and Buddy (well into their 80s and 90s) can still do the climb several days a week. Once you get to the top you can have a nice view of the area (with a breeze). They have a small museum and a cute souvenir shop as soon as you walk in. The fee for the climb is $10 and they have free parking in the back. I highly recommend anyone who loves lighthouses like I do to definitely make a point to check this place out. Even though I already done the climb twice, I will definitely come back for a third time!
This lighthouse is right in the middle of ALL the skyscraping casinos. The lighthouse gives perspective on what Atlantic City once was before it was a casino hub. It was a beautiful sunny spot. There was a small museum that was open to the public. There was a community garden and benches. It didn't appear to be open yet thr novelty of this lighthouse in the middle of ALL this city was pretty cool. If nothing else, this was a great opportunity for photo ops!
Such a fun spot! Such great history and views! It is worth the fee ($10) to climb the tower and look out over Atlantic City. Such a fun visit, friendly staff and great little gift shop. Neat museum with excellent facts and history about the lighthouse. Thank you for a wonderful experience while I'm in town!
Excellent staff that are helpful and knowledgeable. This was another light house that we stopped at on our list of lighthouses to ride to. It is from the 1880's and even though it does not operate, you can still climb the 225 steps to the top to get a breath taking view of the city and ocean. Make a stop at this hidden historical gem the next time you visit Atlantic City.
Took our family of 5 here (3 kids ages 7,8,11) on day trip. There are a lot of steps! It was a bit overwhelming for my 7 year old daughter. I would suggest going when it is a fair weather day since the lighthouse is not climate controlled so when it is hot outside it’s even hotter inside the lighthouse. The man at the very top was full of info and facts and gave us cards that said we climbed the lighthouse. We did learn a lot and it was nice to do something together as a family. I would just recommend going when the humidity is lower and the temp outside is between 60 and 78. There is a little museum before you go into the actual tower. Ticket cost was $6 per kid 12 and under and $10 per adult. Enjoy !
Fantastic bit of history. Staff are so friendly and helpful. You can walk into the main house and read about the history. For $10 you can climbs the stairs, DO IT!
Fantastic Old Lighthouse. The steps aren't as bad as it would seem. There are 6 platforms on your way up to go at your own pace. Although we went on a hot day in the 90's the Lighthouse was nice and cool inside. Once we reached the top Dan is the man of knowledge. Mr. Lighthouse as we called him was an incredible wealth of knowledge concerning the Absecon Lighthouse among all others on the East Coast. It was too nice to hear his true passion and love in what he does.
I love Absecon Lighthouse! The many historical facts I learned during my visit we're all very interesting. George Meade? Who knew? I think I'm going to find out if I can be a volunteer here. The view from the top is lovely even on a rainy day.

Slide 1 of 3
Not much by gambler standards, but funny in how it happened. My parents, my friend and I were staying at a Las Vegas casino. We’d eaten dinner, wandered a bit and now it was late and time to head for the rooms. I had one quarter left, so I asked everyone to wait for a sec while I played it. Amazingly, it won and quite a bit for being able to play only one line. So I now started playing all the lines, figuring I’d soon be done and that would be that. But a half hour later, the other three standing there in some combination of happy for me but when can we get to the rooms, I was still winning. I had nearly $280 and one point though I’d dropped to around $155 when the other three decided they could wait no longer. Okay, I cashed out, only to find that the machine didn’t pay amounts that size. We had to wait for a casino employee to come over, verify the machine, copy down my ID and then pay me. $155 - not bad for starting with $0.25. That’s also the only time I’ve ever been up by that (relative to starting bet) amount in all the times I’ve gone to Las Vegas.
This is a cute little aquarium that's perfect for kids under ten. My son loved the petting stations and really liked the huge loggerhead turtle with all the big bass and sturgeon in the tank downstairs. If it was cheaper I'm sure more people would go, it was $26 for two adults and a child and it's hard to stay for more then two hours there. $21 for us would be in my opinion the most I should have spent.
The aquariums was nice. It was affordable. It has 3 floors. The top floor is play area for kids with beautiful views of Atlantic city and the ocean. There is an outdoor area on the third floor as well that's great for photo opportunities. The second floor has turtles, snakes, more fishes, and a touch tank for sting rays. There is also a large party room for private parties. The first floor has fish tanks, eels, turtles, and a touch tank for baby sharks. There are some interactive activities for kids like coloring station, shark picture area, and top floor. Fun for the whole family and priced right!

If you're looking for some Italian cuisine in the heart of Atlantic City, then Carmine's is the perfect place to go. The restaurant has cozy family-style seating and large portions that are great for sharing. Plus, the menu is extensive and offers a variety of favorites, like tiramisu. If you're looking for a night out with friends, then this is the place to go!
Slide 1 of 9
I stayed in AC for a week with my Bestie and her two daughters. We worked a fully remote schedule at the time and decided to take advantage of it. We worked from our room during the day and spent the rest of our day shopping and eating😃🥰 Carmines was on our list of places to visit. I don’t have to tell you they didn’t disappoint us. The only down side was we had to make early reservation to be sure we got a table. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the rosemary infused wings, lasagna and Cesar salad. EVERYTHING was delicious. I’m suppose to go to the NYC location soon and I know it will be another great experience
This is a great restaurant, particularly if you have a family. The large portions can serve an entire table making the restaurant very affordable for families and groups. We particularly enjoyed the steak and sausage as both were cooked very well, well seasoned, and delicious with the peppers and onions. The gremolata on top of the steak was excellent as well. The service was really outstanding as well and very attentive. As a small group (2 people), we particularly appreciated the warning about the size of the portions so we didn't over-order unknowingly. We still over-ordered because we wanted to try a couple of things, but we did so knowing what we were doing so it wasn't a surprise. We appreciated how informative and upfront they were with us about this. Great service and staff all around! We will definitely be back, probably with more people.
Goodness!!! Carmine's was impeccable from the wonderful host at the entrance, the ambiance of the venue, the soft music in the background, and an amazing waiter named Chris! The food was AMAZING and portions you won't believe! We ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, and amazing mixed green salad! The bread snd rolls are such a weakness here.. This experience was top notch! I will be going again for sure!
Hey everyone! I want to thank everyone at Carmine Italian Restaurant for a beautiful and delicious birthday celebration. My server Don was amazing and as I sat and watched I could see that he really cares about his customers. He was very attentive and spot on. We enjoyed a Caesar salad, linguine with white clam sauce. For dessert we enjoyed tiramisu. Everything is family style which is nice it keeps the cost down. I hope when my husband and I return I June for our anniversary that we are able to come to Carmines again and have Don as our server again. Thank you every one for making my day so special. As always I thank you for reading my review. Remember to have fun with what your doing and keep in real. You know I do with every review. I want to thank Don for such a great time. With amazing for and some great laughs. Yours Truly The Real Deal 12401
Carmine's food is off the charts delicious and the portion sizes are meant to serve 6 individuals. We ate 4 dishes (including a salad) and a dessert amongst the 6 of us with leftovers! The service is top notch and I will absolutely be returning with friends and family for the sights, food, and drinks. 7 out of 5... really exceptional.
We had two kinds of pasta - veal and shrimp scampi. Per serving is pretty large that is suitable for 2-4 people according to the staff. However for us party of five are stuffed with loads of pasta lol, we didn’t even finish them. Veal tastes like pork loin different from what we were expected. Could be a place for family or large group. Staff is attentive and simpática.
We were really hungry after a full day at the pool, and had no reservation, but were seated in the bar area immediately, without any wait. The bartender is on top of his game - very accommodating, friendly, and the drinks were top notch 👌 One of the better shrimp cocktails - shrimp was firm, flavorful, perfectly chilled - 5 stars Ideally seasoned stuffed mushrooms, absolutely delicious. And they served like 9 or 10 mushrooms - all portions are humongous 😋😍 Chicken marsala entree was served literally on a plate that's the size of the tray! Could be the whole catering size dish almost 😄 Not to mention, it was absolutely delectable. 6 stars and will be back!
I’ve heard great things about Carmines and I was not disappointed in what I was given! I went for a friends birthday and everything from start to finish was great! The service was good but the food was even better than I expected! You have to come on an empty stomach though, as their portions are enormous due to them being family style but nonetheless was delicious! Their Garlic bread was definitely the best I’ve had, and I highly recommend their manicotti and eggplant parm, the best right next to my own mother’s! I highly recommend you try this place, you will leave very satisfied!
This is the third Carmine’s location I’ve had the opportunity to dine at and loved it as well. The service was great and so was the food. Absolutely no complaints. We arrived from out of town close to closing time and they were still able to accommodate us, give menu recommendations and were so polite doing so. 10/10 recommend! Large Italian family style dining.

Sandwich shop
White House Sub Shop is a no frills joint that has been around since 1946, and is famous for their submarine sandwiches. The menu features simple subs like the cheesesteak submarine and the White House special (an Italian sandwich with extra meat), all served on a fresh roll. With celebrity visitors ranging from Frank Sinatra to Oprah Winfrey and the Beatles, this place is definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for a good sandwich.
Slide 1 of 13
I never thought you could make a sandwich so much better than every other sandwich I've had but this place was able to do it. Bread was just a tad hard on the outside but super soft on the inside. The hot pepper relish stuff that was on this sandwich was the best part. Mellow spice that lingers but in the best way possible. First time going here and will take the two hour trip on the future to go back
The Meatball Sub ... I am in heaven! Homemade meatballs that had a perfect texture covered in a delicious tomato gravy ... the service was everything you would expect from an old-school sandwich shop, and the atmosphere was loud and busy as well ... Perfect!
I didn’t want to eat at a chain restaurant and this was the best place I could find within walking distance of Caesar’s. Great find! You know it’s great when locals frequent and talk up how often they order… simply amazing! Great quality ingredients especially the beef! They slice it all raw themselves! Great attentive service! Delicious!
After checking in at Harrah's on Tuesday for National EMS Conference, took a short ride to a place we've never been to in all the year's we have visited Atlantic City. Enjoyed 2 very delicious Jersey Shore Subs, Kit had Turkey and I indulged on the White House Special with the works including the hot pepper spread. The rolls are different from North and Central New Jersey. It's more dense, nice crunch and delicious!!!
White House Subs is famous for their subs and with good reason, they're delicious. The staff is great, very hard working people with smiles on their faces. I've never seen a server so busy, but handles everything perfectly...
The service was every bit of five stars, and if I could give Six, I would. I tried and ate the White House Special. Wow, what a sub sandwich. I've had easily a few hundred subs in my life all throughout New Jersey, and this by far is the best tasting, fully packed with meat, and best price for the immense size in the state. I also tried and finished a half tuna, and it was as packed with tuna as you could possibly fit between two sides of a loaf of realy good quality bread as you can enjoy. The lettuce tomato, onions, and chopped hot pepper spread were all crunchy, fresh, and great tasting. This is a must stop for every visitor to Atlantic City, and if you've never had one, you're definitely missing out on a great experience. The establishment is friendly and fast serving. The seating is tight.
Been here a couple times in the last few months. No-nonsense. Excellent sandwiches. Busy. The egg and pepper sandwich wasn't my favorite last time, but chicken cheese steak was excellent. Too much large chunks of lettuce. My boss loved his Italian sub.
Delilah was our server. She made it a great experience. Fun and witty. The subs were amazing. Their homemade Hot pepper relish was really good. They gave us samples that we had to put on our subs. I recommend the hamburger and the Italian subs. The 1/2 sub is 9 inches and their large is 18". The place has pictures of important people who have ate there and is known all over. Definitely recommend at least going once.
We almost always make this stop whenever we're in Atlantic City.  Can't go wrong with their White House Special.  $19.60 for the whole sub.  It's humongous, making you feel like you're carrying a yard stick.  But buying whole isn't any cheaper, value-wise, than buying half so later on we got smarter and started getting Meat Ball Submarine for the other half for variety. We've always had to wait for our orders, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. So that's a negative. Another negative is that staff have always been on the rude side, maybe it's because they're always swamped, but it doesn't feel good to be on the receiving end of their bad manners.
Sub was iconic, fresh and delicious. Definitely get the hot and the sweet peppers..and extra. Well worth the trip there. Service was great and the vibe was very nostalgic and very Jersey. Really enjoyed the experience
We’ve heard about this fabled spot for years. Finally made it to Atlantic City and White House did not disappoint. Two of us split a half White House Special and it was delicious. The bread, the meat and the toppings were first rate. . Service is abrupt, but who cares? There’s another location in the Hard Rock but for first-time visitors the original is a must.
Busy place. That's a good thing. These guys have been around forever and they always do a great job. Really good cheese steak. Hoagies are great too. You'll wait in line, but it's worth it.
Subs were delicious! Fully packed. Fresh. Service was fast and friendly. The dine in area is small as is the restroom, but it was so cool seeing all the pictures of all the famous people that have dined there.

Oyster bar restaurant
Docks Oyster House is a seafood restaurant that has been around since 1897. It is known for its cozy and elegant dining room with nightly piano music, as well as its legendary dishes such as Seafood Fry and Crab Au Gratin. The happy hour at Docks is especially popular, with customers able to enjoy a dozen deep oysters at discounted prices before the place gets too crowded.
Slide 1 of 10
My first time here at end of January, 2022. I went during their happy hour, sat at the bar. Food was very tasty and I enjoyed all of the dishes that I had, started with the crab cakes (wish I had more) seasoned well, crab & corn chowder (could have been hotter) but delicious one of the best I've tasted. Then the main attraction that Lobster Mac and Cheese was excellent! Cheesy with lots of real Lobster, can't go wrong with that. It was the best way to try their dishes, can't wait to go back!
Excellent all around Seafood House!! Dock’s is top shelf when it comes to fresh seafood. I’ve only been 1 time but I’ll definitely be going back. Everything I ordered was amazing. Shrimp and grits appetizer, clam chowder, crab cakes & the potato crusted flounder were all prepared to perfection and out of this world. The ONLY Seafood house to eat at when your in A.C. (That is if you can get a reservation). Wait staff was super friendly & the prices were better than reasonable. Almost to good to be true. If I could give it 6 stars I would!!
The food and service was top notch. Apparently reservations are required but we found seating at the bar area right in front of the piano player. Nancy was our waitress and was excellent. We had m9stky appetizers and all were excellent. The real disappointment was the oyster stew. Couple of oysters, a cup of milk and some butter, no flavor at all.
Very good raw bar. Oysters are per piece with a decent pricing. Meals are very filling, so not recommended to over do it on appetizers. The server recommendations were very good. My pictures show a small beet salad, but that is because they split it into 2 for us
Excellent Friday night dinner at the bar during restaurant week. Cute bartender was knowledgeable and quick. Freshest seafood…raw oysters, tuna, and flounder were so delicious. Key lime pie was excellent…not too sweet. Great piano entertainment to boot. Will be back for more.
Door opens at 4 they are filled by 4:05! Half price on appetizers only. Oysters are the stars ( ordered parmesan too much breading will not order again ) calamari and clams very popular. Wait staff very professional. Its a fast paced meal. You want to stay but know people are waiting for you seat .
It was Love at first bite at Dock’s Oyster House. Let me start from the beginning you are offer free Valet parking yes FREE. Beautiful Live music as soon as you walk in the door. I recommend the Happy Hour which is only located at the bar if it’s your first time, second and third. Everything I tried was absolutely DELICIOUS! You must try everything on the Happy Hour menu its so Good and worth it. On to the desserts now hands down Docks Cheese pie is a Winner, so tasty, flavorful and smooth. The customer service was the best and fast. This place is a Must Try🤗
Place was superb but super crowded on the weekends. Bar is 1st come 1st serve with no reservation requirements which means you'll have people breathing down your back waiting for you to get done therefore, I recommend making reservations. Food and drinks were excellent. Oysters were fresh and clean. Shrimps were definitely JUMBO. Drinks were also tasty. The soups are different but still very tasty. The creams were very thin/watery but were very hearty with the additions of vegetables and still worth ordering. This is definitely a top notch raw bar and my favorite one and the other food I've tried is also highly rated. MAKE RESERVATIONS!
Just an outstanding restaurant. Our server, Taz, was professional, quick and polite. Every aspect of our dinner was 5-star. You must eat here if you’re in the area.
Dock's Oyster House is our highlight of visiting AC. Everything we've had there has always been excellent: grilled octopus, crab cakes, stuffed flounder, fried calamari, and a mean burger. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice menu...nice portions and delicious. We always eat early so as we were just getting ready to go a live band started. Great entertainment. Pictured, Jerk Salmon Dinner over spinach and rice, Crab Cake Sandwich with Cajun Roumalade sauce. Delicious!
Great experience for my first time. I had the teriyaki chicken with shrimp and rice. My whole meal was delicious. I gave 4 stars cause it needs better music at this restaurant. I had 2 drinks and they both where enjoyable. My waiter was awesome.. Would visit again.
(Located inside the Resorts Casino Hotel)The food wasn’t bad and the wait time to be seated was zero! However the entrees came out way too quick, as they were at our table before the appetizers. We had to remind the staff that we ordered appetizers. The shrimp and grits (with sausage gravy) was amazing though. All and all, the experience was nice and the staff was super friendly. I would definitely go back.
This was my very 1st trip to Atlanta City and I was referred to go to this restaurant from some others. The restaurant was full so we got a reservation and had to wait for an hour. So we walked across to the partnering restaurant and sat at the bar and had a few drinks while waiting for a text from the restaurant. An hour later we finally get a text back and we are seated at the restaurant. We were seated for 15 minutes then the waitress said she will be back to take our orders. 40 minutes went pass and she never returned. I was super disappointed and left drunk and hungry. The had LIVE music which o thought was cool. The Woman's bathroom was super Dirty. My fiance said the men's bathroom was clean. We might give this restaurant another try in the future. I don't know. The hostess were polite.
My burger was fine. I don't usually do this but my server appeared overwhelmed. Didn't ask how I wanted my burger, we are with plastic silverware, the drinks had no or very little alcohol. The others in my group complained to the manger these were not good. Management your bartender and service manager is destroying your customers confidence in your beautiful establishment
Absolutely horrible experience! We ordered a appetizer sampler and it came out ice cold. The waitress asked if we just wanted it taken off the bill, well no I want a new one I’m hungry. Then as I’m eating my beach club I find a black hair in it, see below pictures. The waitress took the appetizer off the bill since it did not come back out prior to finding the hair. I asked for a manger, one came over and asked if I would like my sandwich remade I said no thank you. The waitress comes back with bill with shrimp appetizer on it and drinks. Well we only ate 2 pieces of shrimp prior to being disgusted with a hair. I was fine paying for drinks but nothing else. They refused to take anything else off the bill. We paid them had to go find somewhere else to eat at 10:30 pm. Just absolutely poor service!!!
Some annoying moments... Ordered steak, food arrived, forks appeared on the table but no knives. went to look for the waitress and asked for a knife. She showed up a few minutes later with the information that... they don't have knives at the moment and gave me a white plastic cutlery set 🤣 Margharita served in the wrong glass... I don't blame the waitress, she was nice, she tried, apparently the restaurant manager doesn't get it your job. The food is good but not amazing, as are the drinks
Checked the reviews and they were definitely a bit of good and bad. Every other review was bad. The bad reviews are definitely the most truthful ones. We still decided to dine here. The food is extremely overpriced. Half of it looks like TV dinners, some are salty and the drinks barely had alcohol. Alcoholic beverages tasted like juice. Definitely not worth the prices nor the service. Extremely long wait for food that’s not worth it. The only thing that was actually good was the appetizer trio.
Good customer service! I had the spicy salmon which was so good, and they have good drinks too. The waiter Kenny was very nice too! This location is busier than others because it's on Atlantic City Boardwalk so expect a longer than normal wait.
Dinner for 12 with a reservation at Margaritaville on a Saturday at 4pm. They seated the 6 of us who arrived 20 minutes early immediately. The large group table was perfect for conversation. Our drinks were on the table before the rest of party arrived on time. Food was delicious. My husband was overjoyed to finally have his “cheeseburger in paradise”. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Everything was perfect. ** We went back again later to the bar for drinks and get pictures!
Our meal was so great! We got the volcano nachos, coconut shrimp and the cheese burger in paradise and everything was delicious! The food and drinks we ordered we promptly delivered by our awesome server Norma Jean! She made our experience so great! I would come back again just to have her as our server!
I came with my family at 2:10 pm of 9/02/2023. The place was not busy but we had a really bad host service. I have a son with autism and ask for a table close to the windows with the view of the boardwalk because he wanted that and both the manager and the host said there was nothing available. They gave me a bad attitude and I returned to the table. Not even one minute later the host took four guests to a table exactly where we asked her. We were a party of four too. Her excuse was that she can't sit my family in a table of six. My question: why did they sit another group of four in a table of six just two minutes after I asked the host and manager? By the way, the chicken from the Caesars Salad was raw! Very good lava lava, good appetizer trio and excellent service of the waitress.

Capriccio is an upscale Italian restaurant with beautiful white tablecloths and high ceilings, which offers classic Italian fare in a beautiful setting. Many people come here for the veal, as the cuts can vary but will always be tender and delicious. The meal can also be enjoyed at a more casual pace if you want.

We have missed our Easter brunch at Capriccios since the pandemic. We finally enjoyed it and it was amazing!! The food, the service everything is amazing the chef came out and asked how everything was and said hello! We go to Capriccios often and we are never disappointed. The lamb chops here are to die for!!! I highly recommend coming here and now that Easter Brunch is back I can't wait to continue our tradition coming here every year!
I don't know where to start.the food was excellent. The ambiance and the art 🖼 on the wall makes me feel that we are in a museum. They did a special chicken Alfredo for me which was not on the menu. They have non alcoholic beer. The service was more than excellent. If you want Italian food 🍲 chooses Capriccio.
Finally made it here, but almost didn't. First time(January ) my husband and I came we were under the impression that they had happy hour with tapas and etc, according to the website, but unbeknownst to us they do it in the spring/summer. So this past Thursday I came with my friend, and we almost could not get a seat, we had to literally watch people pay. However, there is a random island table that is not being utilized and is a waste of space and should be removed to add more cocktail tables or something- that was kind of annoying. Aside from seating issues, the Happy Hour is pretty amazing! Great food and great drink specials. Fernando is one of the best!
Capriccio has really tasty food but kinda overpriced. I know it's Italian and most Italian restaurants are overpriced but I for sure believe it could be a little less expensive for the amount of food offered. The lobster ravioli is such a bomb dish that I would recommend but it is priceeyyyyy. My partner had the filet mignon and he said it was honestly just okay. It was cooked to the correct temperature as requested but just average compared to other restaurants. The service was miraculous however. We had the server, Jade, who is so enthusiastic and gave us such a good dinner experience. 4/5 experience, overall.
First time in Atlantic City and I only had a few hours to explore what I could. I picked this place for a place to eat based purely on reviews and it didn't disappoint. The hot rods (or whatever the app was called) were excellent (see pic) and the spaghetti and meatballs was good as well. Fernando was also a great barman who did great drinks and kept me entertained.
Absolutely 5+ star rating! Outstanding service and company from the one and only Carmen and Luis! Delicious food. Apps, drinks and entrees. Even a surprise happy birthday treat. Beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend and don’t forget to sit with Carmen and Luis
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We started out with an Aperol Spritz (a must at an Italian restaurant) that were made perfectly. To start, my fiancé had the Caesar Salad, and I had the Wedge Salad. They were delicious. For dinner, she had the Chicken Marsala, and I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. She said that that was the best Chicken Marsala she's ever had, and that's coming from an Italian woman. My Spaghetti and Meatballs were prepared Al dente, just the way I like it, and it was delish. For dessert, we shared a Chocolate Torte that was great. Our waiters were engaging and delightful. A great experience!!!
Absolutely..one of the best Italian restaurant in NJ and Atlantic City. We ordered pastas and their Peanut butter desert..mind blowing! Decor is among best and the food is great..service by Joseph was excellent. They make you feel extra special. Don’t miss it! Definitely 5 ⭐️ place.
Restaurant Week: Manager and Hostess were extremely nice. Seating inside was very hot so we were able to move outside which was lovely with the ocean view. Server seemed overwhelmed and possibly not on the top of his game. Lobster bisque was not hot when served :( Beet salad lacked dressing and was not very flavorful. Entrees portion sizes were good. Pork Milanese was very large and tender but lacked any sauce other than dressing from arugula salad. The short ribs were tender and had good flavor. The gelato for dessert was really just chocolate ice cream that had a strong refrigerator taste. We love trying new places during restaurant week and then can decide whether to return. I don’t think we would go back based on our experience this evening.
