    The restaurant definitely had an essence of the early 1900s. When we walked in at 6:30 the restaurant was completely empty for our 7 PM reservation. We were hoping that there will be some people in there to at least create an ambience. The bartender also served as our waiter. The food presentation was OK. I had the chicken Parmesan and it tasted burnt. They brought out a little basket of garlic bread and with a party of six that was consumed very quickly and they did not offer more. Overall, not super terrible, but there are definitely more high-end restaurants with an ambience in Atlantic City .

    So I gave it a 1 in all categories because the restaurant was closed at the time we made our reservations. First of all open table should not accept a reservation when they are scheduled to be closed.

    The food was mediocre at best. There were several items that were unavailable. The menus had wrong pricing. Apparently they raised their prices in the computer system before the new menus arrived. Yes we were told that everything was up by $2 or $3 but that was tacky. My gin and tonic was awful. My husband never got his coffee

    This hidden gem in the Claridge was such a delight. Service was excellent and chef Greg visited our table.

    Food and atmosphere were good, but diners beware: menu prices were inaccurate. We were charged more than listed and weren’t informed before ordering. Our server, Stephen S., became defensive when questioned. He initially offered to remove dessert, then changed course and removed a drink instead. Very disappointing handling of the situation.

    Went for breakfast. We were the only people at the restaurant at 9:15am. The servers and staff were friendly. We ordered our food and when it arrived, our server disappeared. I ordered the banana foster french toast and was brought french toast with fruit. I waited 17 min for someone to find out what happened to my order and for more coffee. The servers went to the kitchen and got the remaining ingredients for me to add to the dish myself lol. They were still very nice and it was actually quite good, but i was disappointed waiting so long for help. I would eat here again, i just hope the service improves

    The Food Was Delicious. Our order took way too long with no communication as to why. They were obviously having a bad day in the kitchen because we were not the only table taking so long, and the place was mostly empty???? Another group left as their food came out. Ambiance was neat, felt like we were in a 20's speakeasy or maybe where Al Capone would eat at regularly. Overall a mixed bag, hopefully we were just there on a bad night because I would have liked to rate it higher.

    Property is an architectural beauty from a lost world. Dining room is old elegance but its grandeur is stunted by socioeconomic reality of Atlantic City in general; desperately needs upgrading. Depressing property. Cooks and wait staff work earnestly it seems, but they find their jobs difficult in the context of poor management or guidance and a vision that is lost at sea. Our waiter looked like someone who worked hard somewhere else on the property but they stuck him in the restaurant, and he did his best. Italian food is average diner fare sadly.
