Juan Pablos Wildwood NJ

I know I have been a bit harsh on places like Mustache Bill's (which I will give another try as he has had so many write-ups). However, I have to say, I had the worst dinner and dining experience (and you say "Did you expect anything different!?") at Juan Pablos in Wildwood.

This restaurant is one of the children of John Paul, who just closed his small cafe and rescued JP Prime from zoning oblivion. These restaurants are in Wildwood and North Wildwood. JP Prime has a nice looking bar and a very upscale menu.

Juan Pablos has one hell of a Margarita Menu and a bar that's visited by every serious drinker in a 20 mile radius. So I suppose the food doesn't have to be great espeically if you are so swacked you can't taste anything.

I had Crab Enchiladas in White Sauce. Here's what happened....they microwaved the crab inside the enchilada....without the white sacue. So let's see...we are a chef and we look at the food and don't see any white sauce. No bells? No whistles? Obviously no brains.

Have you ever bitten into crab that has been microwaved without liquid?

My dining partner wasn't impressed with his either. I was outraged. Unfortunately also the service was so bad that we had to complain to another waitress and then the manager. The manager was so rude we almost walked out.

But we didn't. We had a coupon offered by Restaurants.com. They tried to scam us by telling us that an item on the menu was a lower price as we had to spend so much to use it. We grabbed a menu and asked why it was the higher price on the menu. They honored the coupon which made the meal for both less than $20.

Way too much money for such bad fare and bad flare.

Buy a bartending guide and practice your own Margaritas on someone's deck. Buy a bag of chips for a far better plate than can be had at Juan's.
