First impression...ambiance...the restaurant was a bit dark, but I got over it. Our waitress was lovely, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I started with oysters. They were the biggest I've ever had. They had manhattan clam chowder, New England clam chowder and a corn chowder on the menu...I didn't k whip to pick...but I didn't h to choose because they had a flight of soups and I got to try them all. I wish all restaurants had this! For my main meal, I had the 1lb mussels in marinara from appetizer menu. I loved my meal. I would go back.

Me and my fiancée took a trip down the shore and she wanted to stop here for dinner. She's gone here several times with her grandfather, and wanted give my take on it. We were greeted by the staff right way when we walked in. They had an open bar both inside and outside. The view outside was beautiful. When we were seated, our waiter Ben took our orders and made sure we received everything in a timely manner. He was very professional. We both ordered the crab legs special and it was delicious. It was a little on the pricey side, but it was definitely worth the price. They also have an early bird menu if you get there at opening, if you're looking for a good deal. When I come down to Wildwood again, I will definitely come back here again. I recommend it highly.

8/17/2023 I honestly wouldn't have even considered going back here after the abominable experience last year. My friend, who has a home in the beautiful Grande, gave Uries a second chance and she really enjoyed it. If it wasn't for her I would've assumed they would be shellacking customers again this year. My husband predicted Uries would feel the pain of their stupid business decision of last year eliminating early dine, eliminating salad, choice of sides and eliminating bread too. I think they are still suffering. There was no line in peak season and the restaurant wasn't busy. I got prime rib it was good but needed au jus sauce. Our server, Matt was excellent. My party was happy with what they ordered. I'm glad I chose not to burn my Uries shirt last year because the shirt selections are pretty bad this year. I will probably go back if they continue to hear the customers. I think a lot of business will be lost for good because of the fiasco in 2022.

Part of me thinks that when my partner and I came for an early dinner we were the youngest people here. We both got a bit of a giggle from this since we're not super young ourselves. I looked up reviews for places to go with good shrimp on the menu. From the reviews this was the place that was open that we went to. And it was not what I expected at all. We were seated in what felt like an open air patio right by the water. Because we got there so early we were able to get a table right on the water. They do have sun shades which helped keep the glare out of our eyes. The menu had a variety of things not just seafood. I will say most of their kids menu for my 2-year-old consisted of fried items which really didn't tickle my fancy. But the waiter helped us navigate that which we really did appreciate. My partner who is not always seafood forward opted for steak and potatoes. It's his main go-to so of course I didn't really expect anything different. He did say that he was thinking about adding on crab cakes if he was still hungry after the steak. I decided to go big. After reviewing the menu I decided that the seafood Alfredo was what I was getting. And man it was delicious. I could not believe how much seafood was in it and the taste was incredible. It had a lobster tail, scallops, and shrimp in the dish. I will let you know that I did not eat all of it and I was able to take some home for the next day. For my daughter we got the peel and eat shrimp the 1 lb appetizer and that fulfilled her delicious need for shrimp. Or shrimpies as she calls them. I wish I would have left a little room for a dessert but after eating my meal, what I could of it, there wasn't any room. I would suggest going early to get a nice table by the water. The view was spectacular and the food was pretty great too.
