Review by Hyman Rosenbaum

Surf Rider is a gem for seafood lovers! 🌊 I celebrated my mom's birthday here, and it was a hit. While I’m not a seafood fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken pasta, and my mom can’t stop raving about the she-crab soup.

The fast, attentive service made us feel welcomed, and the dessert was the cherry on top! 🍰

The casual, cozy atmosphere is family-friendly, perfect for both lunch or dinner. Just a heads-up, portions are generous but a bit pricier than other seafood spots. Overall, it’s a delightful dining experience worth every penny!
