10 Best Restaurants in Atlantic City

Dock's Oyster House is for those who want an upscale seafood experience in Atlantic City. This family-owned business has been doing their thing for over 100 years. Several types of oysters are offered every night, each with their own distinct flavor. You've also got an array of other seafood including sashimi and clam chowder. You can be sure you're only getting the freshest in town, too.

If that weren't enough, they've even got live piano music every night. It would be difficult not to feel at home at Dock's Oyster House.

The Continental is a quirky, off-beat experience brimming with class and sophistication. It looks like something out of the 1950s – think The Jetsons – and the cocktails come in all sorts of colors. The aesthetic might sound cartoonish, but they've imbued it with truly chic elegance.

The same goes for the offerings: international cuisines and tapas crafted and presented with attention to detail. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, you're sure to have a relaxing and interesting experience.

The Knife & Fork Inn dates back to the 1920s when it was a Prohibition-era gentleman's drinking club. They've kept the atmosphere largely the same – only now it's a restaurant.

Knife & Fork strikes a curious balance between relaxing and stately. The food leans more on the stately side of things, with offerings of a thick, juicy steak or a crabmeat cocktail. Grab a seat at the bar to soak in the upscale ambience – it has a coziness that's just begging you to stay.

Wingcraft Kitchen and Beer Bar is a place to kick back and relax. All the typical pub fare is here, with the centerpiece being the wings. There are 8 different sauces to choose from, so bring all your friends to insure you try them all.

What you shouldn't attempt to try all of, though, is Wingcraft's 40 draft beers. The most important thing is that it shouldn't be too hard to find one you love. Speaking of the one you love, there are a few salad options for those who don't necessarily want to gorge themselves on greasy food. Whoever you've got in tow, you can have a good time at Wingcraft.

The Iron Room in Atlantic City is all about the adventurous eats as the head chef brings global influence to American staples. One such example is the Udon Mac & Cheese, which we can bet you can’t find anywhere else.

They've made mixology an art, with a menu of creative cocktails that helped put them on the map. It's got an atmosphere to match, too. The outside makes it look like a place you shouldn't enter, but the inside is stylish and dimly lit. If you're looking to get away from AC’s ‘same old same old’, try the Iron Room.

Okatshe brings an authentic Japanese restaurant experience to Atlantic City. The transporting entrance is made to resemble a storefront in Tokyo and gives way to an elegant interior. The head chef's creations take Japan as their main inspiration, but they also have a unique sensibility.

In addition to ramen and sushi, there are plenty of crossover dishes as well, like the okonomiyaki fries. To top it all off is an array of Japanese whiskeys and sake to choose from. This won't be your typical night out on the Boardwalk.
