Went with a big party on a weekday night. Place was crowded but service was fast. Ordered drinks, apps, and entrees. Apps were solid and the seafood entrees were delicious. Several members of the party ordered steaks and many were dissatisfied. Temps were off and seasoning was bland. For the price we hoped for a bit more. Overall still a good meal and would return. Will say that if you have young kids or picky eaters, might not be a great choice. Overall a nice night, but hoped to be blown away for the prices of items.

Spent our 10th wedding anniversary dinner there tonight and it was absolutely incredible. The rack of lamp entrée and the roasted garlic appetizer both came highly recommended. So we ordered both and my wife got the filet mignon and from apps to the dinner to the cocktails and dessert it was all amazing. The restaurant comes highly recommended and did not disappoint. I'm so over all these high end restaurants who claim to be the real deal, Chef Mike's is no BS and is truly the real deal.

Enjoyed an excellent dinner on Sunday. The service was good and the food was even better and the fig martini wasn't too shabby either! You know a place is good when you're there on a cold Sunday and the house is mobbed!

We were very excited to visit Chef Mike’s, as we heard it was one of the nicest spots in Seaside Park. Unfortunately we thought it was overpriced and very mediocre. We had empty glasses that just sat on our table, and constantly had to flag our server to get their attention. We ordered several things, but the only item that we really liked and thought was unique was the Creamy Crab Bisque. My husband had the lobster special which was $60, and was nothing you could rant about. The whole experience didn’t feel like a fine dining experience, but you pay fine dining prices. I hope this feedback helps the team, as the restaurant has potential and is located right on the beach so you have beautiful views of the water.

Walking in we noticed it was very dirty. The floors were crying out for a good power wash. The place is old and dirty. We had a reservation for outside, the area we were seated in appeared to be a makeshift dining area, there was a old bar equipment covered in tarps behind us and what really was the straw that broke the camels back was industrial LOUD fan that was blowing directly at us. They said they could not turn it off when we asked. There was zero view of the water, we assumed we would have at least some view. They have a policy where they charge if you don’t show up/take a credit card to hold the reservation…..for this weak table we had I cannot believe they have the audacity to issue a no show fee or even require a CC. Food was nothing great, the appetizers we had were alright (peanut shrimp and crab cake) but the entree was not good. We had horseradish crusted Chilean sea bass however it was basically fish fried in funnel cake batter….to think someone would destroy a good piece of fish like this is sad. It was sweet batter….in my opinion this was BAD. This place is also not cheap yet they use plastic cups for water and they look at you funny if you ask for fresh silverware with your entree. Sorry but for $45 for an entree I expect a real glass and fresh silver wear with my entree. Lastly the service was very slow, the party next to us sat down about 20 min after us yet they got their entree before us. Things like this are not easy to let slide when everything else already was pretty weak. I really can’t say anything good about it and I’m not trying to be harsh.

Food was very good. We did not like that we had to wait quite long to be served after sitting in. There was a party and the service did not look after enough well the other guests.

Our meals looked fabulous! Staff was great, fodd was good except that 2 of the 4 scallops needed 2 more minutes on the stove. They were cold on the inside, great sear just cold. $45 for the meal....we did let the server know. They were willing to re-fire a new set but we already waited 30 min for this. Overall it was good, my wife's steak was perfect, the corn risotto was great.

The young hostesses were excellent and very pleasant. We had the hot appetizer sampler which was good, but no wow factor. Dinner was also good (and the food was definitely fresh) but not worth the price point. The risotto was lukewarm at best and although the filet mignon was perfectly cooked, it was under seasoned, as were the vegetables. The lobster tail was undercooked and the accommodating staff brought us a new one. The pasta dish was excellent and the scallops were also perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was lovely but the prices did not match the food.

This place was so good. You'd never from the outside think it was so quaint and nice inside. It's located on the beach, basically. It's hard to get reservations, so call a week or so in advance! They also charge a fee now per person if you don't cancel within 24 hours and don't show up. $30 per plate. In the meanwhile, don't cancel and go enjoy the most delicious food!! Yum!! I'd go again in a heartbeat if I lived close enough. A bit pricey but so worth it..

I came here with my family for my father's birthday. The food is expensive, but of a quality that more than justifies the prices. We had lump crab meat, octopus, and burrata appetizers. The crab came served cold on a plate with a small pile of meat and a handful of claws. The claws tasted better in their cold state. It was mild in general. The octopus was fantastic, it had just been grilled and was excellent, as was its accompanying green sauce. The burrata was similarly delicious, with prosciutto under it and (admittedly less than desired) bruschetta to place it on. I ordered the fish special, a filet of red snapper in a puttanesca sauce over saffron rice. The rice was wonderful, the fish also very good. My sister greatly enjoyed her salmon and the accompanying shredded sweet potato ensemble above it. My grandmother seemed to be enjoying her generous serving of shrimp pasta. My other sister praised the poke bowl served in a waffle cone. My father also got the snapper and loved it. My mother had the scallops, one of which I tried. There were four of them and they were enormous. The bacon and sauce they came with was excellent, as was the risotto. The food at Chef Mike's ABG is quite good. We all had dessert as well. My grandmother and mother had the coconut sorbet, which they liked. My father and sister had the warm chocolate lava cake, which they devoured. I tried some of it and was not particularly impressed, but thought it was good. I ordered the waffle sundae and was surprised to find two small belgian waffles sandwiching vanilla ice cream, not one as I had expected. The waffles were good, the ice cream was good, the whipped cream was good. It was serviceable. It did not blow my mind away. The almond gelato my mother ordered was cold, almost a little icy but very grainy in texture, perhaps a bit too thin, but had an intense almond flavor that one would expect from a true gelato. The best dessert was my sister's order of the caramel creme brulee, which was enormous and equally memorable in taste. She is a creme brulee aficionado and was very impressed. My sister's cappuccino came presented beautifully (a stick of rock candy to stir in as sugar), but disappointed her. It and my father's double espresso came with a small biscotti. I recommend Chef Mike's ABG, but be aware that they have a dress code that does not allow men in tank tops, despite allowing men in open-toed shoes like flip flops. If you were thinking of coming here after a warm day out, make sure your shirt has sleeves. This restriction, of course, does not apply to women. I don't know the rest of the details around their dress code, which seems otherwise relaxed.

The employees , drinks and food were top notch! Make a reservation because it fills up quick! You will not be disappointed, worth every penny

Stop everything. Right now make a reservation at Mike's ABG. When you arrive order the app "OLIVE OIL WHIPPED RICOTTA". Be prepared to enter Heaven. Also enjoyed the Chilean sea bass. Off season November dining the best.

Amazing service by Erin - we had such an amazing bachelorette dinner there. The view was great (especially during sunset). I had the mixed seafood grill and two martinis. The oysters were so great too (both west and east).

Amazing food outstanding service from Courtney. from someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 30 years Absolutely 5 stars wish I could give more stars great job!! Round of applause to BOH AND FOH.

Took my husband for our first visit to Chef Mike's on his birthday & it was delicious! It's a Sunday in March so it wasn't busy & we got seated right away. The only down side was on the way there the hostess called 2x in a row & we were only 5 mins late. By doing so she ruined the surprise where I was taking my husband, so it was a little disappointing. They should at least wait 10-15 mins, especially bc you give them your credit card to book a reservation & if you don't show they charge a $30 fee. The atmosphere was nice but not what I expected for a fine dining experience. It's on the beach & their menu was stocked with great selections so that helped. However I do think they can use a little upgrade or even some better looking tables or table decor. Very plain. After sitting down we were greeted by our server, Mario. He was pleasant & welcoming & explained all the specials for the night. Our drinks & food came out on time & were presented beautifully. The oysters & shrimp were super fresh! & Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Mario also explained how the summer months will look if we want to visit again. Reservations are a must! We will definitely be back.

Wow this place was amazing. We went in off season so we were able to get a table, but I would advise making a reservation. Make it several weeks in advance during the summer. The food and cocktails were delicious and our server Matt was very friendly and professional. The piano player was a great touch. We will definitely be back.
