Don Marco is right on. I live 10 miles from AC. Knife and Fork is A-1. Its over 100 years old. The decor, food, wait staff, et al are top shelf. Dock's...eh...went there once. No where near the atmosphere and quality of K & F. If you are a little adventurous go down to Margate - Tomatoes. Great food, a lively place. Also Steve and Cookies.

Tony's Baltimore Grill. Decor of an old pizza joint. Great pizza and your basic spaghetti joint. One of those AC experiences. You might even be able to get a bottle of Schmidts.
