We went to Landshark first time at Hollywood Beach, Florida and since then we been patrons of Landshark, because we really love their seafood based menu. Here in Atlantic city the hostess was probably the calmest hostess we ever met, very polite, accommodating and really made you feel at ease and confident with the service. The fish and shrimp tacos were excellent and the non-alcoholic pina-colada (daiquiri) my wife had was excellent. The place was very busy and the food did take time to come out but you are there to relax and enjoy the atmosphere with an outdoor seating beach view whilst you waiting, and we really had an excellent dinner before going to see a Diana Ross concert at a nearby resort.

    Have always loved our meals at Salt, especially the filet and all the meat dishes which are always salted and cooked to perfection! We also love the parmesan fries and brussels sprouts, and they also have a dedicated gluten free fryer now which is a huge bonus for anyone who is gluten sensitive or celiac.
