Carmen's Seafood - SEA ISLE CITY

It’s been years since I’ve been here, but a lot of the good memories really stuck with me, and I wanted to share them. It’s a genuinely cool place. Being able to boat into a restaurant is always really cool. Though we have that in Minnesota, this place takes it to another level. The atmosphere is perfect. Though you do have to fend off seagulls, on occasion, that’s a given if you have food anywhere outdoors in Avalon. The food was really good too. The only complaint is that there was one time that the food took an extremely long time, but I’m not docking (pun not intended) any points for that because they were also packed to the brim at the time, so I understand.

Have been wanting to try here for a bit and went here for the first time tonight and the food was so so. Ordered surf and turf and my steak came out almost well done and my lobster was sticking to the inside of the shell. I had to fight to get the lobster out of the shell. I had to wait for another steak. And the was no discount on the bill for their mistake. Not impressed. Server was really nice.

We came early for dinner and as soon as we were seated, the server immediately went through a long list of everything they didn't have, that was written on the menu ? We were the only ones there, when they opened....why didn't they plan correctly ? Very disappointing

This place is the go to in Sea Isle City. New breakfast menu (havent been but heard its off the hook). We have been coming here for over 3 decades and its better each time. The staff is always friendly. They recently allowed credit cards (a few years ago). One check per table, though, so get your cash ready!! Once saw a guy skip the check. Stop by our table for the tale because its infamous. We will definitely be here.

The food was excellent and the wait staff were very friendly. It was a fun experience. It's informal and BYOB. I'm a big seafood fan, but fish is my least favorite. Their fish was the best part of my meal. They can cook!
