    Saw a movie and had dinner afterwards. Food was good but not many specials. Service was outstanding.

    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!

    The night started out great. Very cool vibe inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Our server was delightful, took drink and appetizers’ orders quickly. She then came back to take entree orders. We ordered - 45 minutes later, we were informed that one of the entrees was no longer available. Another was chosen. We waited for another 25 minutes for our food to arrive. It was fine - not great. The manager took the cost of the one meal off of our bill, which was very nice. Then we asked for coffee - they had none. That was again unfortunate. There’s a WA-WA across the street!!someone should have thought out of the box and bought coffee for the guests. I think a Plan B is in order. Buy another a coffee pot for emergencies! Again, the manager gave us free desserts. All of these gestures are great, but unnecessary if the restaurant is well run. We may give this place another try, but it will take a while. Sorry for the review.

    The crab cake was spicy and due to that it was not good we did gave good wine.
