"Had reservations for a party of 8 on a Saturday night first time for me and most of the party . I always check websites to check on menu and price which seen on the high side but figured food has to be good. To make a long story short, service was very slow and seem like there was a staffing problem. Our orders did not come out together and the seafood dish I ordered was not to great. Waited at least 20 minutes for the check after we asked for it. For a BYOB place I felt the prices was a little high"

They don't have liquor. They only sell wine by the bottle. The food was marginal.

Good seafood, great service, but a little too fancy for my liking. We felt a bit out of place in shorts and flipflops but to be fair, it did not seem to matter to the staff. View menu

Have enjoyed coming to Octopus's Garden the last 7 years. Food is always excellent. We especially love Monday's for the crab/shell fish menu. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. I ordered the scallops, which are the best I've ever had in the area. My wife had the filet, and it was cooked to perfection. We will definitely return!

We had a wonderful first experience at the Octopus's Garden. Both the service and the food were outstanding. I ordered the battered lobster tails, while my husband enjoyed the Arctic Char, and both dishes were delicious. The New England clam chowder was among the best we've ever had. We definitely plan to return. View menu

I had a fantastic anniversary dinner with my wife. Our meal was exquisite, and the complimentary dessert was a delightful touch. This is truly a wonderful place to dine. With great reservations, attentive waitstaff, delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and reasonable prices, I think I've found my favorite restaurant close to home.

My first time at the octopus garden. My husband wanted to take me somewhere we hadn't been before for our 27th wedding anniversary. I couldn't have been happier! I started with the French onion soup and can tell you it was the best I ever had. Then had Cesar salad and battered lobster tails. It was absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional!! It was a very romantic atmosphere and made our Anniversary a very special evening. We will definitely be back

"The staff here clearly understands that attentive service is a crucial part of an exceptional dining experience. From the water server to the hostess to the guy sneaking a quick smoke in the back, their actions spoke volumes. The freshly baked bread served with real butter—a rarity in many places—set the stage for an enjoyable evening. It sparked conversations not only about Tuckerton and nearby Hammonton but also about the ongoing spiritual journey within the Garden State. I couldn't resist trying the delicious New England clam chowder—thankfully not overly salty, which can often be the case. I followed it with a classic Caesar salad—again, perfectly seasoned and happily devoid of tomatoes, staying true to authentic Italian cucina! My friend Thomas had the crusted salmon, a dish so beautifully presented it could have been framed and displayed. He dug in with such enthusiasm that I barely managed to snap a quick photo before it disappeared from his plate. It was evident that the food had lifted his spirits after a long day. The Grapevine is an excellent choice for a relaxing evening out, offering reasonable prices for both food and drinks, with iced tea being a particularly refreshing option. Families can celebrate special occasions here in a serene atmosphere. However, the evident passion for food preparation and service may be something younger patrons overlook. As Joseph Conrad once observed, youth can often be squandered. While I might not be well-versed in the current political landscape of New Jersey, I sincerely hope The Grapevine continues to thrive, serving divine meals and featuring its charming staff. If it does, this timeless corner of the East Coast—Tuckerton—will remain a cherished destination, deserving of our continued support."
