Barge Restaurant & Cocktail

I'm so glad I decided to take a ride and try the Barge Restaurant and Banquet Faculity.Its located across from the Arthur Kill Waterways in Perth Amboy. There is a patio and indoor seating. I chose indoor seating because they were construction crews working at the time of my visit.The Barge restaurant has been around since 1925.It’s mostly seafood but they do have a nice selection of Soups, salads, burgers, wraps, steak, pasta and chicken. My review is based on lunch only. I chose for my entree the Broiled Scallops. I was surprised I receive 13 scallops for a lunch entree. Came with a house salad, and a choice of a side.I choose a baked potato.My scallops were delicious and perfectly cooked. My salad was crisp and a nice size. My friend ordered their Lobster Salad Wrap.She had a choice of sides and chose their potato salad.She thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The barge offers an extensive list of desserts, So many that they couldn’t list all of them on their menu. I had to scan the rest on to my iphone. for dessert I chose their Chambord Parfait, With vanilla ice cream layered Chambord and fresh whipped cream.This is where willpower comes in and I only had a couple of scoops it was that good. Second dessert I chose was their Crème Brûlée.It too was very good with a very creamy custard interior, and a hard shell on the exterior. It was just waiting to be crack with my spoon. Whipped cream was piped on the side of the dessert. The interior of the Barge is your typical nautical theme, with blue walls and nautical wallpaper as you walk in.There are white linens on all tables. The tables are distanced apart.The staff was very nice and friendly. They did their best to accommodate us at the time. The service was a bit slow, so I’m giving them four stars. I think they needed more waiters. This restaurant has two dining rooms which are spread out.The Barge restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Next time I come I'd like to sit outside on the patio and take in the views of the waterways.When you’re finished take a stroll on the pier that’s across the street.

Very friendly staff very welcoming and they even played with my grand daughter. Food was good and not over seasoned. Sangria was also very good as well

Great from the second floor. Friendly atmosphere.

Food was good but didn't get what was on the menu. I was suppose to also get a baked potato and a side vegetable that I never got. Didn't realize it until I left. All in all was good experience. I little expensive for not getting all your foid.
