Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Beach Haven

Awesome food, awesome service! Made a reservation a month in advance for 5:00, we were catching a show! Got there 45 minutes early, all empty tables. Hostess was extremely rude and shouldn't be working with the public. We asked to be seated earlier and she said we couldn't, she explained she was over booked. We sat at the bar and had some drinks. 5:00 came and went, she sat every table for 5:00 before us! Rude! Finally we spoke to another host who sat us right away, and he couldn't believe we weren't seated yet. Too many restaurants to choose from in AC to be treated like this!

Everything was beautiful and great service and atmosphere but food was borderline cold unfortunately.

Always a family favorite. Great food!! Good value! Never disappointed! We will be back.

We enjoy going to the Smithville Inn every Christmas season for our traditional holiday dinner. We arrive on the premises about 2 hours before the dinner reservation. We enjoy wandering through the quaint shops located around the village and watching the dancing Christmas trees located on the lake. We then head into the Inn for a wonderful meal. The Inn is so inviting and this year to our surprise they had violinists playing holiday songs. It was so nice, it added an even more special feeling to the festivities of the season. We truly love this place and are so proud to make it a tradition for our family.

It was our first time here and it won’t be the last. The food was fresh and delicious. John our server was attentive and always very pleasant and friendly. Looking forward to many more meals at Stefano’s.
