Stopped here for our first dinner in Ocean City and certainly weren't disappointed. The sautéed flounder meunière with caramelized butter and fresh lemon with basmati rice pilaf was the favorite by far and the ocean view was definitely a highlight.
Ocean Front Dining at its Best!. We are the type of family that would much rater eat at a Chef Owned and operated Restaurant than eat at one owned by a corporation… We are tired of the corporate idea of a good restaurant.
We have been eating at Steve & Carolyn Nicoletti's restaurant's since the early 80's when they were the original founders and owners of the Culinary Garden. To say we love Café Beach Club is an understatement! Let's see, they're Chef owned, and everyday they are open the Chef works. They make their own stocks, soups, sauces, dressings, omelet's in omelet pans, homemade Belgian waffles, homemade whipped cream, smoked salmon eggs Benedict, surf and turf burgers, roast fresh turkey for clubs, homemade jumbo lump crab cakes, they make a crab cake club sandwich on a fresh baked croissant (it's called a Café Beach "Club") and yes they even make homemade desserts (try the chocolate cappuccino cake). We ate there last during the weekdays in September and while other restaurants sat empty they had lines. We believe it's because they offer high quality food for reasonable prices. Cafe Beach Club is oceanfront with outside patio dining available. The food quality is truly top notch, and the place is always clean. The staff must be well trained and all of them seem to really like working there, because you see pride in their work, and they really work together well as a team; we find that a very rare thing these days. If you can't already tell we are true foodies, we appreciate fine food, prepared and served by people that really know what they are doing! We just wish they were in Philly, so we could eat at Café Beach Club year round, but it gives us something to look forward to when we go to Ocean City, NJ!
Great food and view!. I've been going to Ocean City all my life. There are a lot of "OK" restaurants, but until I first tried the Cafe Beach Club, there was nothing to "write home about". The cafe is located on the boardwalk side of the Beach Club hotel. The view of the ocean from the dining room is awesome! I personally like the air-conditioning, but there is outside dining as well.
When we first tried the cafe a couple years ago, I was expecting it to be pricey based on the location, however, we found very reasonable prices and outstanding seafood entries.
