We went for lunch for a family get-together. Our server was fantastic and the food was wonderful. Our lunch entrees were beautifully plated as if we were there during peak dinner hour. I really liked that nice attention to detail. I will definitely be back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the spectacular views of the bay!
David was our server for my mother’s bday. And he was incredible! Went above and beyond to insure we had a great time. 10/10
We dined here at happy hour the other night. Food was amazing. The gluten free pasta dish I had (Zianna) was truly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. Service at the bar was friendly, and the direct bay views are spectacular. If you go at happy hour (5-6pm) you can get 8 martinis and some great small plates. Highly recommended.
Great place. Awesome atmosphere. Staff is fantastic. This place is almost impossible to get into during the summer- it is always packed, but it is worth the wait every time if you can get a reservation!
Was it worth the wait to open the place? Is it worth the price? The service we received from Marissa was fantastic and it was on a busy Saturday evening in August. She was attentive, always providing updates even if something wasn't ready immediately and consistently checked in on us Atmosphere is absolutely amazing. If you want waterfront dining you get it with almost every table indoor and out, amazing view of the bay and sunset! Spoiler, this is primarily what you're paying for here and the food tasting good is bonus The food was mostly all very good although some items could improve a little. Detailed list below It is pricey but you're in margate on the bay enjoying the most prime waterfront view. You're paying for an overall experience, not just the food Antipasto - good and fresh Margarita pizza - good Meatball and ricotta pizza - very good, ricotta was delicious Alfredo sauce - decent. Could've been more generous with the sauce Zianna - this dish was amazing. The blush sauce was perfect and all the other ingredients were fresh and tasty Vodka sauce - good but not as good as the wash sauce. Was a little too thick and creamy almost like they used cream cheese Filet mignon - pretty good dish Crab cakes - very good dish
Finally came back since they reopened as the old spot was one of our favorites. Reading some of the reviews we were a little hesitant but the new spot is great! I don’t get all the haters on here. Maybe disgruntled neighbors or former employees? The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the views are beautiful. There aren’t many spots along the Jersey coast that have a better view! The drinks were delicious and so was our food. The Truffle burger was delicious as was the scallops and shrimp. Lots of complaints about food and service on some of these reviews but we had no issues. I think some people expect too much and to give 1 star because they only had 3 dessert options? That sounds like a you problem to me. We will definitely be back and we were happy to hear they will be open all winter too!
We had my fathers memorial there last week at Lamberti’s in their beautiful 2nd floor dining room and we couldn’t have been happier. The space was perfect, everyone commented how amazing the food was.... From beginning to end Lamberti’s helped make this special event so perfect for us in every way- I can’t say enough great things about them. Their communication, help, accommodation and service was perfection! I look forward to going back
This restaurant served up phenomenal dishes, from appetizers to desserts, each time we went decided to wait for our 3rd visit before posting to see if the food was consistent and the service. The 2nd floor is more lively with the bar and DJ playing music. My favorite is the first floor they opened the folding doors to bring the deck feel inside and it was beautiful to eat with great company and view the sunset on the Marina. The service is always friendly and often makes great suggestions when we are feeling indecisive. The Zianna, pizza, pork chops, and bronzino were our top favorites. Look out for the delicious specials. For dessert, the hazelnut gelato and cheesecakes were our go-tos. Hopefully, they remain open for a winter visit.
