Best Casual Restaurants in Wildwood

Venezia and its sister restaurant, Santorini, are easily the two finest restaurants in the Wildwoods. Beautifully decorated atmosphere. Outstanding service. And, most importantly, superior food which is consistently superior each time you return for dinner. If you prefer a BYOB, then Venezia suits you best. My wife and I do which is why we typically go to Venezia and occasionally go to Santorini. If you prefer a full-service bar then you’d want to go to Santorini. Last night, I had the linguine caprosoli, white clam sauce. It’s the best I’ve ever had anywhere, which is why I order it as much as I do when we’re at Venezia. My wife had Fettucine Alfredo and loved it. Again! We also shared an arugula salad which was to die for good. After dinner, we shared a lemon bomba dessert and two cappuccinos. What an absolutely delightful overall experience!!! We’ve dined at Venezia and Santorini many, many times and eagerly look forward to returning soon.

Everything was fine and the manager Marley was outstanding she knew all the answers to all my questions. Very helpful beautiful setting good food and great service. Will be back.

Small intimate dinning room in the Washington pedestrian mall. Professional, friendly & attentive staff. Attractively decorated for the holiday while still maintaining elegance. It is BYOB. The New England Clam Chowder was flavorful with generous amount of clams. Husband had grilled polenta with broccoli rabe & fresh shaved Pecorino Romano cheese “like Mom used to make.” I couldn’t finish my seafood risotto. So generous was the portion of local shrimp, scallops & clams though I tried ! Husband had Shrimp & Salmon with mash potatoes in chili sauce. Delicious. Try the Pumpkin cheesecake & you’ll think it’s Thanksgiving again. Highly reccomended

This is our first visit to Sandalwood Indian Kitchen Restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Om, our server was excellent. He was attentive. polite, and personable. We ordered the garlic naan, and it tasted very good. Next, we had the samosas as an appetizer, and they were excellent. The samosa filling was perfect. For our appetizers, we ordered Butter Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. The Butter chicken had a deep, flavorful, rich, tasty, smooth, creamy sauce. The shrimp Biryani had a few large shrimp. The rice was cooked to perfection. There was basmati rice and saffron rice with the shrimp. Both portions were plentiful. The decor was pleasant. Sandalwood India Kitchen is located one block west of the Garden State Parkway on Route 47. We will be returning to Sandalwood Restaurant.

Service: professional, attentive, very friendly. Food: nice presentation with great twists on classics (Cali Turkey Club was terrific). Ambiance: wonderful combination of a modern bar/restaurant, hometown sports bar with ample TVs everywhere including at booths, plus the live music was fantastic. Summary: If you are in the mood for a cool spot, great food, a great sports bar, or great live music, Fairview checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it.
