    The service was exeptional. There was an issue over the waiter misunderstanding my request for veal and he brought out lamb, which was sent back. The manager bent over backwards to try and take care of me, but at that point, I didn't want to order another dinner, as my wife already had hers. I settled for a sandsich. The French Onion Soup had plenty of cheese and onions, but it lacked flavor (Need more beef base and there was no hint of sherry), the Ceaser Salads were exceptional. My wife liked her pene a'la'vodka and the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich was exceptional. The atmosphere was great. I will go there again, based on the service and gerat attitude of the waiter (after realizing his mistake) and the manager.

    This was our first visit and sadly our last…I was hopeful when I saw pics of the food and etc. but the best part of our dinner was our drinks. We sat upstairs for our Valentines dinner out and it was pitch dark, except for the bright light in the kitchen area which shined right in my face yet i still couldn’t see my food… the waitress we had was HORRIBLE! We had to ask 3 different servers for things and when she came back finally she was like, oh what did they want now? Which was about another table! Yikes… drinks were great, but where was our water??? That alone took 30 minutes… food portions were good and food was good but not great… just not happy unfortunately

    Went to Nucky's for dinner and a movie. The upstairs dining room had great ambiance, with a black and white movie playing. Server was friendly and efficient. We had the Filet Mignon and Chicken Parmesan, and both were done to perfection! Definitely going back!

    I love the bar menu at Nucky’s. They have a lot of options including many small plates that are not fried and have no bread….of course they have lots of great sandwiches too. We had ahi tuna app, chicken avocado sandwich which is enuf for a platter….great burger too. Great waiter upstairs. The full dinner menu is very nice as well. Great Ventnor option.

    We ate outside and were in the mood for casual, tasty food. Just had the Impossible burgers, but they were tasty and the salad we got was great!
