Breakers - BAYVILLE

The restaurant had a strange odor. It was the off-season, so there was only one other person at the bar, who appeared to be a friend of the bartender. They only had two drinks available on tap. The bartender was friendly and engaged in conversation with us. When I asked for a cider, he honestly admitted that they do not carry cider, but there is a place nearby that does.

Says they are open until midnight. It's not even 9pm and the place was dark. Is this place even still open for business???

My husband and I recently had the worst experience here. We went to Bayville with our kids and stopped in to eat. The place was empty except for 1 guy at the bar. Our waitress seemed annoyed that she had to take our orders. After we placed our orders she brought out my daughters food rather quickly but then it took over an hour for my food and my husbands food to come. We couldn't even find the waitress to ask what was taking so long. She finally came over after more people walked in and said that it would be a few more minutes. Another 10-15 minutes passed before the food actually came. It was dried out and some of it cold as if it had been sitting under warmers in the kitchen for at least a half an hour if not more. She didn't even apologize to us or offer to take something off the bill. We asked her for the bill as soon as she brought the food out because the kids were getting restless and she once again disappeared. When she finally brought the check she walked away again and my husband had to ask the bartender to close us out. We will NEVER go back there again. It ruined our day. Top 3 worst restaurant and food experiences of our lives.

We ordered the tilapia sandwich with a side of fries, hot wings, chicken quesadilla, clam chowder, and fried calamari! The food was mediocre. Not bad enough to criticize but also not good enough to call home and share a nice restaurant. I like to always have a silver lining so I like to say that fried calamari was the best dish that we ordered. It was battered and fried and covered with a sweet and spicy glaze. Unfortunately, the glaze was a little too overpowered. It took forever for our waiters to tend to our needs. I understand it was a Sunday October 15th that we arrived. They had 3 visible waiters tending to the restaurant and I felt it was very understaffed.

I have tried my best with this restaurant. The hours do not seem to match the website, and neither do the specials. We have gone there at least 5 times in early spring only to find closed doors despite the website saying it would be open. Last night, we decided to try it again instead of going to Breakers, but we were disappointed. There were football games playing, but only one table and 2 bar guests on a beautiful Sunday. The bar was dirty and had not been cleaned in days, with fruit flies buzzing around the TV screens. The volume of the TVs was also too loud. The bartender was friendly but lacked basic knowledge and they were out of several draft beers. We quickly decided not to eat there and went somewhere else since we were not even given menus. This used to be our favorite spot, but now it seems like it is being purposely mismanaged. It's truly sad.
