Last time I only took the girl. Today, we had a wonderful time. Also, we ate at Victor's Pub, just across the parking lot from the Aquarium. The last time we were there the service was so friendly and food so good we just had to go back. Needless to say I might just go back just for lunch. Well, not really, 90 miles is a long drive for lunch. But, I would recommend it be included it in any trip to the Camden. Took another trip to The Adventure Aquarium in Camden

There were 7 of us. One of the members has been there several times before, for the rest of us it was our first time. We arrived for an early dinner around 4:45pm and left around 8pm. Since it was an Eagles gameday and the bar area and surrounding tables (all for 4) were slightly crowded, we asked to be seated in the back of the restaurant in the closed section. Our server was Dana and she quickly accommodated us. One of our members is an Eagles fan and asked to have the flat screen over our table turned on to the game. Again Dana complied. Dana quickly took our drink and appetizer orders. She consistently checked on us to see if we needed drink refills, etc. She asked if our food was acceptable. Our food was prepared as ordered and we were all happy with our selections. Overall the food was good. It was all served at the appropriate temperature. We ordered 25 cent garlic wings which were just ok. They were not seasoned enough for us and the garlic remained on the tissue paper in the bottom of the basket when we were finished eating them. The BBQ wings were good. The sauce was sweet and slightly spicy. We also ordered calamari which was cooked perfectly to a golden brown and was slightly crunchy. Our final appetizer was the crab and artichoke dip served in a bread bowl. Everyone raved about it, and there was nothing left when we were finished. For dinner we ordered sandwiches ranging from burgers, the Greek Panini, and cheesesteaks. We were all satisfied with our sandwiches and we all took half of them home. They also serve sweet potato fries which were good. The paninis are served with deli chips which were just ok. The drinks were good as well. We ordered Franklin Punch, Sippey Iced Tea and Mango Mojito's. The Mango taste was absent, but it was still good overall. I attended with my bookclub on 9/26/08. There were 7 of us.

Sounds like an awful experience. We've had the problem getting drink refills too, but have never been there for dinner. They do need to seriously retrain their waitresses to 'check in' at least once after the food has been served. Still, we've never had a 'bad' batch of food there. Out of the five or six times we've been there, we've never experienced anything that sounds like what you described. Did you ask for a manager? Perhaps they'd give you some incentive to give them another chance. Only the worst of management would give you a cold shoulder after listening to your very legitimate complaints. Thanks for the comments! Yikes. Sounds like an awful experience. We’ve had the problem getting drink refills too, but have never been there for dinner.

Service was bad - no drink refills, waitress very unattentive. Food was bad - calimari dry and tasteless, steamed clams served with no lemon or butter (just clams in a bowl, that's it), shrimp rubbery, fries cold. They were out of the two selections I wanted to order, so I settled for some pasta thing. They only offered spaghetti or linguini, and pasta portion was tiny. Asked for lemon (for calimari) - never got it. Then, when the fireworks started, some boneheads stood outside right in front of the window so the (paying!) customers couldn't see at all. We asked them twice to move, asked the waitress and one of the male workers to ask them to move, but nobody did anything. We won't be back.
