Tried to go to Johnny Mac's with my 23 yr old son with autism and they refused service. I asked if they actually refused service to people with disabilities and they said "sorry it is the rule." Amazing that an establishment in this day and age would refuse service ( and my son was not drinking), based on a disability. So sad... avoid this dump at all costs.

Tried this local restaurant for lunch. The bar and dining areas were evenly divided allowing for privacy and quiet. Our party of seven was seated quickly and approached by our waitress. Nice lunch menu providing options from small plates, sandwiches, pasta and seafood. Our choices were served together and as ordered. Nice selection of beers on tap.

I visited on a hot Thursday afternoon. It was not busy. I enjoyed the quiet ambience. I imagine at prime time the place is lively. I saw dogs enjoying a meal on the outdoor patio with their people -- and I applaud dog-friendly restaurants. That made points with me even though I had no dog with me.There was one woman serving as hostess and server. She was very pleasant and welcoming. I had an order of deviled eggs and a plate of buffalo wings. The eggs were OK. The order of wings is large -- plenty for a meal. I also had a glass of red Sangria -- it was the best part of the meal. Laurel and Hardy movies were looped on the television. I would like to return here to try their entrees. But, for pub grub like I had I rate it pretty good.

The bar featured local bands which played one set each and the vibe was awesome. Shout out to 4 Non John's as the performed a mix of classic covers. The bar has a "Yappy Hour" dog friendly portion during Happy Hour and it was fun watching the dogs play in the pools and with other dogs.Thank You so much...So happy you liked it...Next time bring your Dog to play!

First, I have to admit that I've always enjoyed the food here, even though it is a little pricey for what you get. For example, a chicken wrap was $15 with no sides whatsoever (which I only learned after being charged $18 for said wrap--story to follow).The service was extremely slow. If we had known it was going to be so slow we would never have went here. We were in AP to go to the beach, not sit in a restaurant. The restaurant was less than half full. I hate to think how long we would have waited if the place had actually been busy. Although we got water right away and the waitress took our order fairly quickly, it took forever for the food to come out. (OK--that is an exaggeration; I'd still be there if that were true. It took over 30 minutes). When we finally asked about it, we were told they were waiting for the sweet potato fries. Really? Were they waiting for the potato to grow? They only take a few minutes to make. The second situation is that we were charged for the fries. When ordering the wrap, we were asked if we wanted chips, sweet potato fries, or something else I can't remember. We were then charged for it. When I pointed out that we were not told this would be an additional charge, the waitress just shrugged and said they don't tell people that. I told her that they could phrase it by saying "would you like to ADD a side". No apology, no nothing.I would never, ever skimp on a tip because of the food not coming out in a reasonable amount of time because I would not consider that the waiter's fault. But asking what side you want matter-of-factly without indicating the additional cost IS the waiter's fault. So I recouped some of that amount by tipping 15% instead of my usual 20% or more. I am admitting to this so if the waitress sees this, maybe she will learn to be more upfront with people.

Homey atmosphere and good food at this family-friendly restaurant. Pizza was delicious but be aware that it is bar pie size -- get at least two if you are with a few people. Good music and decent service. Try to get a seat outside if weather permits; less noisy and more comfortable.

Came here with my husband and toddler. Lots of great choices on the menu, but we decided on the smoked fish dip, octopus, and the crabcake sliders. Husband ordered the ultimate bloody mary, and I got the cava. The bloody mary is no joke! There really isn't much of a kids menu (chicken tenders, hot dog, or linguini pasta), so my toddler just munched on some pita from the dip appetizer. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pretty lively for a 5:30pm reservation! There is outdoor seating, but we sat inside since the tables were full.I'd go again and order the mussels. I saw many folks order that! The octopus and the sliders were a hit for us. The dip was just ok, and definitely not enough pita bread!

Asbury's premier beachfront gathering spot. Part sophisticated drinkery and tapas bar, part music lounge and social club, Watermark's environment is contemporary yet comfortable, refined yet relaxed, upscale yet inclusive.

Visited with a friend who I havenât seen for awhile. Beautiful space with unusual lamps on the ceiling, large windows and stunning views of the ocean and an incredible sunset sky. Waiters were attentive and the hot spinach and cheese dip with chips was delicious. Large couches , upright high top seating facing the windows and a regular bar area. Also an outdoor seating area , weather permitting and an indoor fireplace area . Great music and a great evening , capped off by a walk on the boardwalk!

Tried this place for the first time on our way home from a trip. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves so how could the service be bad right? We ordered an appetizer to split the I got the salmon Mac n cheese and broccoli. My husband got a sliced filet mignon sandwich with Mac n cheese. The appetizer never came. Our dinners came out. My husbands meet was rare he had asked for it medium. The broccoli was pretty much raw. The drink I asked for was not very good. Def did not taste like top shelf vodka. I was disappointed

I struggle with the rating as the food was really great. As a German I can say that it was very authentic. The Wiener Schnitzel was tender with a crispy breading. Potato salad and cucumber salad with mustard dressing tasted like home. The WeiÃwurst was like in Bavaria. Now here is what it spoiled it. The service was one of the worst I ever had. Nobody seated us as we entered. It took an eternity before we were asked for our order. They brought the wrong beer and instead of simply apologizing tried to defend themselves. After we got our food we never ever had the chance to oder another drink or were not offered any dessert. I hate eating on such a hostile atmosphere!
