What a disappointing experience. We entered the restaurant and loved the vintage look of the diner which hasnt really changed since the 1950s. Our server was wonderful and the food was very good. They have toys displayed in the front cashiers counter at a childs eyes level and also up on the walls which leads one to believe the place is kid friendly. It is not. The owner who is well past retirement age, would complain when the children came up to see the toy bears at the counter. At one point at cook (who was clearly not busy enough with less then 10 people in the restaurant including ourselves) came all the way to the front of the restaurant to complain about the kids gently removing sugar packets and placing them on the table. They were informed that the sugar packets would be placed back exactly as they were (which we did). This was laughably treated as a very serious infraction by the line cook. After harassment of our children by two of the staff I asked our wonderful server why 80 percent of the staff was kid friendly but 20 percent were not. She seemed upset and frustrated for us after explaining the owner has their preferences. Finally as we were leaving, another patron, the one sitting the closest to us, turned around and told our children how well behaved they were being after seeing us put up with this harassment. Thank you to that kind man for that in the midst of a poor experience. If you are in Wildwood with young children avoid coming here. $70 + breakfast with a generous tip (over 20 percent) only to be harassed and treated poorly by staff clearly not busy enough with meaningful tasks to be helpful and allow the rest of the establishment to simply enjoy their breakfast. Kid-friendliness: Several staff members have no business interacting with children. They are rude, dismissive, and discourteous. Not a kid friendly establishment.
