Waves Bar & Grill

Delicious food

GREAT FOOD!

What a gem. I booked a last minute reservation with Paradise Plaza Hotel for a golf outing nearby this week (where the restaurant is housed on the 2nd Floor.). And nothing against the Paradise accommodations, which are wonderful, but… the Waves Cafe/9th Street Taphouse absolutely made my stay. Thanks to some lousy weather, I’ve been rained in 2 of the 4 days I am scheduled to tee-off and ended up at Waves.

First off, the happy hour specials are incredible. Half price apps and “Paradise Punch” for 3$. Awesome. But wait till you order it. It’s Michelin quality food for wawa prices. Head-on jumbo prawns??? Prosciutto Fondue???? Medium rare angus burgers on fresh brioche???? Hand-made tortillas, short rib reductions with chimichuri ??? They literally have everything right: Italian, French, Mexican, American Continental, Seafood… etc… this is seriously unreal for a neon sign “stairwell” on a boardwalk hotel.

Not to mention their outstanding service and beer/drink menu. Bartenders and waitstaff are absolute aces. Tomorrow morning I’m going for my first breakfast and will provide an update. I don’t think it’s going to disappoint.

And speaking of breakfast, these guys are absolute BEASTS when it comes to convenience/hours open. While a lot of these places are still crying COVID and gouging prices while cutting hours, these dudes are open 16-17 hours a day, 7 days a week, with great deals and a smile while they serve.

Keep it up, JJ!!! You will be PACKED every night if you stay the course.

Will is an amazing chef!

Food and service are AMAZING! The place is beautiful with a cool fish tank. Awesome drink choices as well.
