Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    We enjoyed our dinners and the service was excellent. The onion soup is highly recommended for its flavor. The salads were crisp and the blue cheese dressing had nice chunks of cheese in it. As for the entrees, the scallops with spinach were delicious, my daughter is not a fan of polenta so we can’t rate it. My filet Oscar was perfectly cooked with some large pieces of crabmeat and a creamy sauce. The traditional pot pie was wonderful as always, and there was plenty to take home. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

    Very disappointed in the tuna…..I have been there on many occasions and look forward to my tuna dinner! The tuna was tasteless and fatty!!!!! My husband also ordered it because I rave about it and he was like this isn’t what you get…..exactly my thought it was a thin piece with a dash of seaweed and tons of noodles!!! When I asked the waiter he was clueless-won’t be back anytime soon
