Traveler Reviews on Margate City

SOFIA Restaurant

1 of 5 stars
Phoenix, AZ
Sep 19, 2008

We went to Sofia's a couple of weeks ago, mid-week after labor day. What a disappointment! First clue that it was going to be bad was the place was empty, one other table and a few people at the bar. Service is HORRIBLE! The bus person had to go upstairs several times to get our server, and I use that... more

Presto Pasta

2 of 5 stars
Vienna, Virginia
Sep 4, 2008

The best downashore time is always post-Labor Day when the maddening crowds disperse and a more relaxing vibe can be had on the beaches and in the restaurants. Mid-week experiences are usually even better, so we finally caught the always jammed Presto on the Bay for a Wednesday nite sunset meal. Perhaps our expectations were a bit high for this... more

Ventura's Greenhouse Restaurant

1 of 5 stars
Ocean City, NJ
Sep 2, 2008

This review applies to the upstairs dining room part of the restaurant (it has a casual downstairs bar area and outside deck area too). My family and I are locals who visit this restaurant at least once a week, all year long for the past 6 years- we are there in the winters when we are many times the only... more

Dino's Subs

5 of 5 stars
Imperial Beach, CA
Sep 2, 2008

I've been going to Dino's for almost thirty years, since I was in high school in the early eighties. Favorite is the Dino's Special, an Italian sub with extra meat. Also have great cheese steaks. My sister loves their vegetarian sub, but you won't catch me eating it. more

SOFIA Restaurant

1 of 5 stars
Ocean City, NJ
Aug 28, 2008

My review completely agrees with the previous negative review from 8/23/08 as our experience was unfortunately very similar. Our reservation was for 8:30 PM on a Saturday night, and when we arrived on time and entered the premises, the place looked like a zoo—there was a crowd in the lobby area to fight through to even approach the host stand,... more

Steve & Cookie's By The Bay

5 of 5 stars
Ocean City, NJ
Aug 25, 2008

Steve and Cookies is another one of my favorite restaurants in Margate due to its consistency, friendly and detail-oriented owner, and warm atmosphere. The restaurant actually has several different rooms, each with a distinct feeling—when one walks into the restaurant, you are immediately in the main bar area, which has several booths along the wall opposite the spacious bar. Continuing... more

Tomatoes

5 of 5 stars
Ocean City, NJ
Aug 25, 2008

As a local of the Margate area, I enjoy many of the fine restaurants in the city but Tomatoes consistently ranks as one of my favorites, and my family and I have celebrated a number of birthdays and other special occasions here since we love it so much and can count on having a great time. The atmosphere, the service,... more

Aug 23, 2008

Let me preface this review by saying I used to be a waiter and a personal chef...I know food and service. This was one of the worst experiences I have had in a restaurant. I cut restaurants a lot of slack, but this pushed me beyond my breaking point. Sofia (the restaurant owner) was dismissive, rude and patronizing. We had... more

Ventura's Greenhouse Restaurant

Aug 23, 2008

We go here because there are not many places where you can eat outside in town, and there is a nice view of the beach and water while you eat. The problem is that there isn' t really a good menu outside, and the prices are not very reasonable. The sodas are really small, yet they have the nerve to... more

Hot Bagels & More

Aug 23, 2008

This is a one-stop-shop for all your breakfast needs. The bagels are always so fresh and hot, and we love them. They've also got some other breakfast items, such as coffee, cream-cheese, and milk. Just get ready to push because the clientele can get a little annoying, but the bagels will be worth the fight. The checkout people, however, are... more

Downbeach Deli

Aug 23, 2008

This place is not that great and is pretty average. It's in a decline right now and you're probably better off spending your money elsewhere. The problem is that there isn't really another good 'elsewhere' because there aren't many deli places around like this. If you want something casual, but remember to be prepared irritable waitstaff and annoying and pushy... more

Billy Ho's Imperial East

Aug 23, 2008

We miss the good old days, when the Pu-Pu platters were flaming and plentiful. Sesame chicken, sweet and moist, flowed freely for all. But those days no longer remain, because Billy Ho sold his restaurant. We used to love this place, sometimes we'd go simply for the great company provided by Billy Ho, the old owner, and the restaurant's namesake.... more

Manna

BYOB - wonderful food, each of us enjoyed our entrees. service is great and atmosphere soothing. A must for dinner or lunch. It would be enjoyable for any type of pallette. more

Lucy the Margate Elephant

5 of 5 stars
Kitchener, Canada
Aug 19, 2008

We read about Lucy on the web, and then stumbled across Margate when driving from Ocean City to Atlantic City. We just knew we had to check out Lucy. We arrived in time to take the $6 tour, which was so cool. You enter through Lucy's rear left leg, climb a very tight staircase, and arrive in her belly. They... more

Ventura's Greenhouse Restaurant

Upstairs inside is the place. Bartender Marie makes a very nice drink and is pleasant.Christine the hostess is very accomadatintg Lets talk food Mussels red the sauce is like a soup use a spoon plan on dipping the bread in. Veal rollatini (app) great. Meatballs (app) the best I ever had. Salad with walnut feta and apples very large. I... more

Presto Pasta

2 of 5 stars
Philadelphia suburb
Aug 14, 2008

the food was edible, but just "ok", and the salads good. The atmosphere has potential to be great. It's on the bay and the view is great. The waitress told us that she would rather have the doors open than to put on the air conditioner because "it brings in a cool breeze". My friend and I were sweating and... more

Two Cents Plain Ice Cream Prlr

Jul 15, 2008

A great place to get piping hot waffles and excellent ice cream. The food is great and so is the service. The ice cream is served by tanned, leggy girls in tee shirts and shorts. A summer tradition for many years. You'll have to wait on the weekend for a table, but it's well worth it. Gotta go, gonna get... more

Manna

Northern NJ
Jul 14, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This was our second visit to Manna in as many years. We visited the smaller establishment last year after reading Craig LaBan's review. We were not disappointed then, we were even more pleased this time. The dining room is larger, broken into three quaint rooms. The piano player is such a wonderful addition that you want to linger at the... more

Fedeli's Restaurant

4 of 5 stars
Fairless Hills, PA
Feb 6, 2008

Went to Fedeli's Resturant over the weekend. Since we were not from the area, we called for directions and Chef Fideli gave my husband "just ok" directions. While we were lost, we called back again and received directions from the waitress this time and finally found our way to the restaurant. It was a very quiet night due to heavy... more
