We eat out at least 20 times per month so I’ve been around a bit. Excluding places that are very expensive this place rates a 4STAR rating for food quality and ambiance. Service is a bit slow and the mixed drinks are a bit pricy but they do have happy hour. Beers are $ 2 during happy hour and during regular hours bloody Mary’s are $ 12.50! Way too high even though they are done perfectly. The Calamari appetizer is real good but you need to order it CRISPY or it comes a bit underdone. Good value too. The quesadilla appetizer is OFFTHEHOOK! Great value for two people. Huge amount of stuff for $ 9. The burger is huge and very tasty. You need 2 big hands to handle it! I’m a big dude and the appetizer and the burger did me well. No need for desert. I never had room enough for desert after an appetizer and an entrée like the burger. Burger was only $ 11 – not bad for what you get. Very good deal! All things considered this is a great place– especially if staying at the Flagship! Good place to stay also if you want to relax away from the casinos.

Now that it is under new management, a new chef and a new staff! This restaurant is surprisingly a little gem in Atlantic City! Great happy hour everyday 5 – 7! $ 4&$ 5 bar bites and $ 2& $ 3 beers! $ 4 house mix drinks and wines! What a great tasty deal! As far as the food menu! A selection of salads, apps, sandwiches, pastas and entrees! Must check out!

We stayed in the hotel and stopped here for breakfast as well as a happy hour. We were pleased with drink and food prices for happy hour. I was confused with the menu only because it was their happy hour menu but instead of listing the price for the food as they were, it was the full price. So I thought the full price was happy hour price and was pleased when my check came showing it to be half off ;) Samantha made great drinks during happy hour! Breakfast was very good a fritata omelet as well as a jersey shore breakfast sandwich both very tasty!

Fabulous view, food and service. Our waiter suggested a white dish entrée that was perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back.

While I love the flagship and have been coming here to use timeshare since the mid 90’s, I am still not the biggest fan of this restaurant. It has had some upgrades such as having a pizza Hut on site now that you can order from, to your room. It is quite convienent to have on site for snacks and is reasonably priced. The view of the ocean and brigatine beach are also fabulous. Sadly I do not like the breakfast buffet. I was there with a group of 5 this weekend staying over and we had the buffet brunch this morning. The service was great, but the food was sub par at best. The made to. order omelets were not good and they didn’t even have ham! Who doesn’t have ham for omelets? Mine was overcooked and lacked flavor. My friends all looked alot better then mine. The grits were very watery and bland. The Danish were just gross, no flavor and dry. The breakfast potatoes were okay, I’m pretty sure they were frozen though. And the eggs were definitely powdered eggs. There was a decent selection but just not for me. Like I said good for snacks, and used to be good for dinner but it’s been a while since I had that there.

We had a party of five and wait staff was very attentive and polite. Always on point with all the menu selections and specials. Drinks were cold, and delicious. All the food items came out hot and full of flavor. For appetizer we had the cheesesteak eggrolls, fried pickles, and mozzarella sticks. The salmon, alfredo, and NY Strip were all cooked to perfect temperature and all 5 meals came out pipping hot which doesn’t seem to happen in a lot of restaurants anymore. The view is amazing as well, you have a full panoramic view of the bay and the ocean, while overlooking Brigantine beaches and Atlantic City as you eat dinner. The venue seems to have turned around this past year. I highly recommend it if you are staying at the hotel in Atlantic City.

I stayed at the Flagship this weekend and my group decided to go to the Blue Water Grille for the breakfast buffet. The dining room was very open and had lots of natural lighting from the big windows. The view overlooked the bay into Brigantine creating a very positive atmosphere. The buffet was standard– they had scrambled eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, home fries, grits, fruit, cereal, bagels, pastries and other similar items. They also had a chef preparing made to order omelettes and waffles. There was turkey at the carving station too. There wasn’t anything fancy about the meal, but it was solid breakfast food. Everything was hot and well prepared. What’s not to love about a made to order omelette– especially since it was made well. That was probably my favorite item, however I did enjoy the waffles as well. A special shout out to the coffee. I don’t know how it was prepared but it was delicious! Strong and flavorful. Our waiter was constantly checking back to top us off on water and coffee. I probably wouldn’t have stumbled on Blue Water Grille on my own but I’m very satisfied with my breakfast experience.

Great bartender, but non-existent scene. It is Atlantic City and this place is a bit removed from the main drag. I certainly would not go out of my way for this place, but I would go again if I were nearby.

Decent food. It would have been horrible if it was overly greasy, fried or fatty. There were cheap croutons in my chicken wrap, which I thought was kind of like putting hot dogs in an omelette topped with ketchup. View is nice, though.

I will start by saying that the food was passable. I enjoyed the salad and the Chicken Parmigiana for what they were, and the price was right, but they certainly weren’t gangbusters. The worst was the service. Our server, possibly from Russia or another Eastern European country, started off well enough, bringing drinks and the meal. The timing was good and she seemed attentive. Then, as my friends and I continued to sit after dinner, our dishes remained on the tables in front of us for about a half hour as one latecomer finished up. When we inquired about dessert, we were told all they had was ice cream in two flavors, vanilla and strawberry. Two of my friends did order dessert, and while we waited for that and it was brought out and they ate it, all of the dinner and drink dishes continued to sit on the table for another fifteen minutes. So overall, very disappointed. Oh, and one last thing: The bartender was wearing what looked to be a Fruit of the Loom white v-neck t-shirt. Real professional.

Oh wow. I’m the only reviewer here. Surprise, surprise! Because no one goes here. Except me and two friends on Halloween weekend. And you’d think a lack of patrons would speed up service a bit and make for an attentive staff. «Can I get you some more water?» «Is everything OK here?» «How is your delicious Basmati rice?» Wait. Rice? What rice? I ordered a caesar salad and a side of steamed brown rice. What I got was a bowl of hard white rice… an hour later. If I wanted to be neglected and given cold food, I would have eaten at my mother’s. But alas, this isn’t about cold food. This isn’t even about the worst service I’ve received in my life. This is about the restaurant’s oblivious response to having a short staff. And an even more oblivious response to hiring people that are less competent than the seagulls roaming the shore nearby. Speaking of seagulls, the waterfront view is the only thing this place has going for it.
