I've been going to AC for years and never thought I'd find a restaurant worth leaving the strip for. Now I leave the tables and drive to Brigantine to go to the Brass Monkey--sometimes twice a day. Best food and service between NYC and Philly. Best value in all of Jersey. I've actually had all three meals there. For breakfast, they make these fruit shakes. And for dinner, the ribs will make you cry. A really nice place. Prices are good, but it's certainly not a shabby, local beach joint type place--you'll look good taking someone there for dinner. Nice crowd during the summer--seems like the kind of place that you go to if you know a little more about the area than the average badly-dressed tourist, which is fine by me.
Pros: food, staff, atmosphere
Cons: none really; one morning they opened late when I wanted a cup of coffee
