Great place, my friend had his wedding here and it was a blast!! And we had our HS reunion here thr Managers Allison and Brian were awesome with all the arrangements. Love coming on Thursdays to see my friend Gene play on Lobster-plaloza in the summer.
It's a good bar, it's near the beach, but it's located in a not fun town full of older people. The staff is nice but always in a rush. It's great place to relax and look at the water and have a few drinks. Specials on the raw bar starting around 4. It's closed in the off season. Overall not bad to hang out and relax during the summer.
Wedding ... private party.. nice srafff.. good food.. old jersey shore restaurant with a modern touch. . Beautiful building. Great beach view. Small parking lot
For Father's Day, we had a GREAT lunch here. The calamari is superb, and the crab cakes sandwiches were delightful. Not to be missed were the fresh chips and salsa -- which were fantastic. We had an incredible view of the beach from the ocean-facing side of the restaurant, and the restaurant's side face did a great job of cutting a 15 knot wind so that we didn't even feel it on the porch. This is a GREAT location for a weekend lunch during early summer. Will be back! (Some of the photos below were taken from my table looking out across the street to the boardwalk and beach, to give you an idea of the views).
It was cool for a summer day so the beach crowd was smaller than normal. That made for our chance to finally try The Columns. We started off with chips and salsa. The salsa was freshly made and tasty. My wife had the lobster mac and cheese and I had the fish tacos. We were both pleased. The fish tacos were made with sole (they use a fish of the day) on my visit. Each taco was stuffed so by the time I ate the last of my 3 tacos I was satisfied. I finished off my meal with a black and white mouse cake which was excellent. Since the day was cool and breezy our seating out on the porch along Ocean Avenue was almost the quintessential beach restaurant experience. Two things that kept me from giving The Columns five stars: 1. we aren't much for live bands so the music coming from the bar was an annoyance over which we had to talk and 2. The service was friendly but a little slow. Overall a very good experience and we'd definitely go back.
