Perfect for a special occasion. This is an upscale restaurant that it difficult to get into, but WORTH it. Go at 5 p.m. or at 8 p.m. to minimize your wait time.

Pizza on the boardwalk is hotly contested. You have Sawmill, Three Brothers, and Maruca's. My family will argue for Maruca's as the best pizza, hands down.

The ground floor is a bar opening onto the boardwalk. Sit downstairs for the party vibe.
Then there's the dining room upstairs. The Mexican food there is just okay, but the drinks are great and the view is unparalleled.

Sightseeing
There is another cute little beach/playground down on 5th Avenue. This is also one of the best places to watch the sunset every night in the summer.

Family Fun
This is the pier with the rides, made famous by the rollercoaster that fell into the ocean. While it makes for an expensive night out, it is a lot of fun.
