Very bad experience. Waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes due to the restaurant's broken pager. (No apologies from staff) Even though over 10 tables set vacant. Waited another 45 minutes for dinner when it finally arrived the Steak was way overcooked, we sent it back. ( I would have appreciated if they would offered to take take my dinner back as well, and reheat it so that I could eat with my wife, never offered.) The food was very bland and nothing special. Waitress was really slow, never checked on us. I finally had to ask the bartender if I could pay our bill only to be told she was the only person that could do it. I then had to track her down. Even though the manager was well aware she did nothing to improve the situation, even offer a desert. With service like this I would never consider going back. Management does not know to run the dining or kitchen. I'll avoid this place next time.
As a quasi-Hollander, by marriage and frequent visits to the city, my wife and are are well acquainted with good places to grab dinner. On our regular list is 84 East, one of those restaurants in Holland catering to regular townies as well as the summer shore crowd.While it may stay on my wife's list it will definitely not be mine. Lackluster service, at least from our waitress, mixed with bad food created a rather big disappointment for what are usually great culinary experiences when we visit. If you chose to drop in skip the carbonara and opt instead for the baked spaghetti pie. Otherwise, expect a bland flavor from the house alfredo (so skip some of the other dishes with this base sauce) and an after-taste you cannot quite place but just won't go away fast enough.Well, I am off to try and fix the food I brought home with or on second thought I am going to eat the reminder of my wife's meal which she really enjoyed!
Summary - There are other better places to eat for the price, quality and service.
We may be waiting a while to eat this food again. I heard good things about it but 10 minutes after eating both of us had gut wrenching pain. It's the next day and my stomach is still gurgling in anxiety from the Spaghetti pie. It wasn't rich, it tasted a little bland.
