Sunset Seafood Restaurant and Retail Market

The wait was too long for the quality of food. We waited an hour and a half for pasta and shrimp, there was definitely something off about the shrimp, and the pasta was mediocre. The food was not worth the price at all. Our waitress, Sam(I believe that was her name), was excellent, and attentive.

My fiancée and I came here this weekend when we were in town. The restaurant smelt great as soon as you got to the door. Service was exceptionally quick, the atmosphere is very nice here being right by a marina with the view of the water. It is BYOB and they are accommodating with ice buckets to keep your canned/bottled drinks cold. The food came out very quickly and it was delicious. I ordered the crab cakes with potatoes and vegetables while my fiancée got a Caesar salad with the white/garlic sauce mussels. The crab cakes are different than MD style. It reminded me of a hush puppy style of crust, but it was full of lump crab. I enjoyed the different approach. The food was delicious at a fair price and we would certainly come back again.

Hidden gem in seaside heights!! Looking over Marina… great menu for kids even vegetarian.. great staff, service .. true Jersey shore .. byob very affordable!

Had a truly great meal! I have been looking for a great Linguini and white clam sauce for years. And I have been disappointed in many restaurants. This place did not disappoint. The flavor was wonderful, loaded with garlic, loaded with clams, just the right amount of wine, pasta was al dente, the presentation was lovely! My friend had the halibut and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, great sauce, light and flaky. My other friend had the scampi, delicious, as well. The chef came out to check on our dinners, which was a wonderful touch. Even the warm buttered bread that came immediately after we sat down was great. A comment on the atmosphere, this is not a fancy restaurant. It reminds me of local restaurants in my childhood where the focus was on the quality of the food, which was great. You enter through the seafood market where you can see how fresh the seafood is. That's the character of this restaurant. Enjoy!

All the food we had was excellent. Fresh, hot and very good. Eight people had all different types of entrées and salads. Everyone enjoyed it.Young servers did a job. Place should have a nice atmosphere once the weather warms up and the boat activity increases.
