   First time eating here since new ownership. We will return. Oysters were served perfectly chilled over ice, salmon crudo was very tasty. Bronzino was extremely good & paired with an arugula/shaved fennel salad with nice lumps of crabmeat. Husband had mussels in red which was large portion, very fresh and good. We also had manhattans, perfectly prepared. Too full for dessert. Our server, Baily was great as were the hostess and other support staff. Prices are in line with the area for quality ingredients and presentation.

   From the time we arrived until we left our experience was terrific. The hostesses were friendly and fun. Our servers, Angel and Daniella were a pleasure. Options were explained and recommended. We enjoyed them tremendously. The Assistant Manager, Adele, was very nice and attentive -checking in to see how we were enjoying our meals - much appreciated. The bartender was excellent - Bourbon Old Fashioned and a Dirty Martini with lots of olives were perfect. We are so glad to see this new restaurant and hope everyone will give it a go. We will definitely visit regularly. Mangia, Janet and Ted D'Alessio

   We were blown away!! Not only is the view spectacular but the service and food top notch!! I went with my daughter as we hadn’t been alone together out for ages and wanted a different place. We couldn’t decide on anything because everything looked amazing! We opted for apps/ meatballs, crab and avocado bruschetta, clams casino, tuna poke nachos and blackened fish tacos! Everything was delicious and memorable! The manager took us upstairs and showed us another room that is used for Sunday brunch. The view up there is breathtaking and should be utilized more than just brunch! I booked another reservation for next week!!

   Dined at La Barca for Father’s Day. I cannot say enough about our amazing experience. From the beginning we were greeted warmly and received exceptional service. Our meal was outstanding! We tried 6 different appetizers. The short rib gnocchi were my favorite. 2 people in our party ordered veal parm and were pleased with the presentation and flavor. We also had the NY strip which was outstanding!!!! Cooked a perfect medium rare. We topped the night off with cappuccino and espresso martinis!! This restaurant is a MUST if you are looking for great quality food and impeccable service. The owner came by our table to introduce himself. We will be back soon!!!

    The place has the potential to be really good, but I think they may have rushed their opening in order to be operational for early summer. They’re a shore location, I get it. I’ll give them a shot again in a few months once they’ve had time to fine tune things. Now to be fair, I went in with really high expectations as Bistro DiMarino’s is one of my all time favorites in Collingswood. Our server was very nice, but very green. She got a couple things wrong on our order, but it may have been the kitchens fault as well. We ordered 2 of each oyster on the menu, but only received 6 of the 8 listed. I would suggest they label which oyster is which (much like Giumarello’s does). They brought out a picture chart at our request, but it’s still difficult to tell which is which at that point. The lobster gnocchi was in point, as I would expect from a Bistro location. The highlight of the meal was probably the mussels in the harissa sauce, it was delicious. Drinks were mediocre for a place labeled as a craft cocktail bar. I ordered an Old Fashioned as a litmus test, and it was just ok. Dirty martini was ok, espresso martini not so much. All in all, not a completely terrible experience, but there is a lot they can still improve on. I’m surprised they didn’t give the location more of an overhaul prior to opening as well. I’m looking forward to giving them another chance in a few months and I’m hoping at that point, this review is complete garbage.

    The wait staff was super friendly and very professional, the manager came by to thank us for dining there. The view of the marina and the inlet was spectacular! We loved how the tables are spaced apart so you don’t feel like you’re dining on top of the other guests. We had a rough time trying to find it based on the directions through Google Maps and Waze, you should call the restaurant directly if you’re not familiar with the area.

    Had meatballs and clams casino for apps. Both were excellent. Sinatra style filet and veal Milanese for entrees were great. Staff and management are very attentive. No room for dessert. They also serve Mount Gay rum which is my favorite. Will definitely go back. Maybe try bar seating next time.

    Excellent food great original cocktails and great service from Jordan first time ever in that space never went even when it was lambertis but if I knew it was that great of a view I would have went and sat at the bar for a few but it’s really great go during the week when it’s not crowded and you will have great service and great food… weekends in the summer in any restaurants around here are for tourists !!

    1st time at this restaurant for my wife and I and we had an excellent experience. Super friendly staff: Hostess Julia Waitress Gianna Food runners Sean and Liv Manage Russ came over and greeted us upon arrival and after dinner. Cocktails were good and food was delicious- Tuna and filet carpaccio apps. Veal Parm and chicken messina entrees. Excellent service, not a bad seat in the house with waterfront views and reasonably priced food/drinks. Highly recommend and definitely a repeat for us.

    One of the worst experiences we have ever had. Food was absolutely terrible. There was a man at an adjacent table who was literally screaming at the top of his lungs making it impossible for us to communicate with one another. To make matters worse, a number of the restaurant staff seemed to know him and they joined in the loud commotion. Overall a terrible experience and an expensive one at that. The original options that were to be served with the meal were in fact not served and other items which were not nearly as good were served in its place with no notice. Oysters were sub standard. The only positive was the waitress was lovely as was the hostess.

    What a disaster. We were really looking forward to dinner here, but from start to finish the experience ranged from underwhelming to unpleasant. Service - totally disorganized and frenetic. Food - fair to bad. Ambience - ok. High point - tuna nachos and seafood arancini were both good. Low point - cocktails were overly sweet and unappealing. Lobster roll was absolutely drenched in mayo to the point of being nauseating. Sea bass was bland and soggy (even more frustrating, this was a substitution for branzino that they had run out of - we were charged an absolutely obscene $52 for the dish despite the branzino being listed for $36). In a nutshull, a complete waste of $160 (before tipping) for a dinner for two with 1 cocktail each. Avoid.

    We got a nice table by the window. The hostess was very accommodating. Our server was Edward and he was great. The food was very good. My husband had the chicken parm and it was a big portion and very tasty. My veal was good but a little tough as veal can be. The dessert was a pistachio gelato thing and that was ok, but gone in two spoonfuls. We will go back for sure.

    I cannot say enough great things about our meal on Saturday night. The service was fantastic and we would have never known that it was our young waiters second day on the job. Oysters, meatballs and fried artichokes were incredible. Buccatini pasta was delicious and perfectly cooked. Bread pudding will make your eyes roll back in your head.

    Big upgrade over Lamberti in every way. Service was robust and on target. Our waiter Anthony was terrific and we will ask for him next visit. Great kid with a pleasant smile and approach and desire to please. Our table of 4 had 3 apps which were all perfect and 2 chicken Parma and 2 bronzino entrees. I don’t order chicken parm out often because it usually disappoints but this one did not. An amazingly well done representation in every way. The check was reasonable considering Bidenflation and YES we will be back soon!

    We had a wonderful meal but waited over 45 minutes for a dessert that never surfaced. Our waitress Julie was a gem and very apologetic. She had our bill credited for the dessert and we went without 😩 Our entrees were truly exceptional so we will return to LaBarca again.
