Kennedy's

This is a local seafood restaurant and it’s very nice, but it’s full of a lot of older grumpy people. The food is good, not quite 5 stars, definitely 4, the service was excellent! The prices were reasonable for a beach side restaurant, and although the decor is very nice and it’s well laid out, the patrons were rude, loud and lacked some manners. Remember all experiences are different, but for example, as I stood in the lobby waiting for my partner to use the restroom before leaving (not blocking the lobby just standing patiently) a lady walked up behind me and said quite loudly “it would be better if you moved.” Not excuse me, or, walk around me, (again, not blocking the way) just rude and entitled bc I happened to be standing somewhat in her intended path.

This is not the fault of establishment nor the fault of the staff, they were great.

Also, the entrance is gate controlled, which I get, but yet again as I was trying to enter a truck sat in the way chatting with the attendant in the booth for a solid 5 minutes. Never looked behind, absolutely no thought I was there at all. Just chatting. Also. Oddly one of the bathroom stalls in the ladies room has a door “situation” see the picture.
Conclusion, it’s a very nice local place with good food and excellent service that is full of at least some entitled patrons who bring it down. The food was very good but not quite exceptional. Overall, good experience but I’m not sure I’ll be back.

Seeking refuge from the torturing windstorm, we drove from fort Tilden to Kennedy’s. Spacious and beautiful view of the beach from the window side table. We had an amazing host who accommodated us thoroughly. Reasonable price and delicious menu options.

First time at the restaurant, a wonderful experience to celebrate my birthday. Our server Louis was professional, friendly and helpful. Food was excellent 👍💖

A beautiful escape from the urban lifestyle to this posh sea front restaurant where the views are as priceless as the food itself. My husband and I arrived with 4 kids at the start of their dinner venue and were accommodated promptly. The venue packs up quick so reservations are highly recommended. We had some of their specials for the day; tuna crusted salad and the halibut in capers sauce over truffle mash. For the kids we ordered broiled snappers over mash which were delicious and cooked with a perfect crunch on the skin. I highly recommend the maple duck over the sweet potato mash because it just melts in your mouth. For dessert we tried their flourless chocolate cake which was very decadent. Our wait staff were truly remarkable, attentive and professional. The overall experience had a Hamptons vibe and it was truly fabulous.

Wonderful out of the way spot with a great decor and amazing dishes. Great fresh ingredients and great results. Baby Burrata was great as was the tuna tartar. Creamy mushroom risotto was splendid and the Chicken Puff pastry! what a gem! The deserts were wonderful too. Warm apple tart was incredible! Will definitely be back.
