I'm sorry, but our experience at BIA last night was very disappointing. Food was mediocre as was the service. Our waiter looked like he was about to have a heart attack he was so stressed. Had to ask for bread to be brought. Chopped salad was so-so, scallops were good, Mediterranean pasta was terrible. And not cheap.

We sat on the front porch with a view of the ocean and ordered a light meal of appetizers and burgers. The guacamole & crab meat appetizer was amazing and the burgers were large, juicy and perfectly prepared. Next time we'll go for a full dinner because everything on the menu looked great.

The presentation was great, but they ever hear of salt, garlic, herbs, etc?

Not cheap and leave the little kids at home, but if you want a classy, upscale dining experience, this is your only choice in Ocean Grove. We had a table of 15 people and service kept up with everyone's needs. The menu is not extensive, but well prepared and fresh and interesting and comes with all the accompaniments (no annoying... More
