Reviews for Hemingway's Cafe in Seaside Heights, NJ
Still the best clientele in Seaside. Had these wonderful filet mignon medallions wrapped in bacon and the fingerlings are over... the top. Read more
Very nice restaurant located a couple blocks from the beach welcoming diners with a very nice decor and five star restaurant... feel. Service here can get really busy so call ahead. You can come hang at the bar and listen to a live DJ, or dine outside on aclear day. The food is pretty good not amazing and the prices are a bit on the higher side. This place gets most of its charmpoints for the great atmosphere they have there and a nice wait staff. Read more
Maybe we were there on a bad night. We had a reservation, but some unseen, cowardly manager told their hostess to tell everyone... with a reservation (like us) that our reservation wouldn't be honored. The 'why' seemed a little weird, because supposedly thekitchen was backed up so they wouldn't take any more seatings, but if we went to the bar area we could order food there. Huh??So our group of 12 did go to the bar area where our terrific bartender saved the day. He took our food and drink orders and didwhat he could to make our unhappy group have a good time. The place itself is nice and could be fantastic if all the areas wereup to speed, but sadly they are not. As I mentioned, our bartender was terrific, and the hostess did the best she could with animpossible mission. As for management- they need to make some better decisions; if we had been told we would be seated but therewas an excellent chance the food was going to be very delayed- this would have been a four or five star review. And again -maybe this was just a one-off bad night. If it was, they'll probably do just fine. But if this is standard operating procedure-I hope the new owners run the place much better. Read more

This place is awesome! The food was delicious. I have a gluten allergy and they offer a couple delicious options. The... music/atmosphere is great as well, even have a dance floor and pool tables. First time in Seaside Heights and this is hands downTHE best food we had. 10/10! Read more
This restaurant is located on Boulevard and is a great place to grab a bite to eat away from the boardwalk scene. We enjoyed an... order of clams, chicken parm, wings and a chicken quesadilla. The wings were cooked extra crispy, which is exactly how I lovethem! Read more
Ok...after being told a 2 hour wait at Crabs Claw, then 1 1/2 hour wait at Klee's we called Hemingways. 30 minutes. Ok...more... manageable. 4 of us had a drink at the bar, then 15 minutes later table was ready. Everyone very friendly and atmosphere wasvery nice. Spent my whole life at the Shore...never went in the place. Wow was I pleasantly surprised. All of us had anamazing dinner. We all looked at eachother in shock there weren't more people in the restaurant. Maybe we always thought itwas more of a club/bar? I had the best pork chop I ever had. Onions, peppers in a balsamic glaze. So so good. Give thisplace a try. I feel like it's very underrated. Read more
Great spot very close to the beach in Seaside Heights NJ. Great atmosphere, pool tables, live music, great food. The as usual... I tried their Buffalo Wings. Perfectly crisp and just the right amount of heat. The stuffed Lobster tail was less expensivethan I thought it should be, but it was tender and juicy and the stuffing was delicious. Try the Street Corn, amazing. My wifeand her sister each had the Bacon wrapped Beef Medallions. My brother in law had the Flat Iron Steak. All of us had the streetcorn. My wife had to try the Lava Cake, it was really good. You should definitely try Hemingway's Cafe. Cheers. Read more
