J Pauls Terrace Cafe

My friend and i wanted just some dessert and drinks and we took a chance at a place on Merrick called J Paul Terrace Cafe. Walked in a people were at the bar and the host behind the bar said we could sit at an elevated table/stool. Laura came over and she was so welcoming. Seem to always be more careful going into bars that no one knows you yet. But she was so welcoming we relaxed immediately. Given that it's an Orish bar with a restaurant attached to it was even better. There was noone in the restaurant since we got there a little late but the bar had a good amount of people.

I have lived in Oceanside my entire life and I have never been to J Paul's but have always heard really good things about it. I'm happy to say that I agree. The atmosphere was very pub like with a separate entrance to the bar. The booths were roomy and the area was open. I could see four televisions all airing a different channel.

We went to this restaurant for dinner and to watch a band. The service was great, and the food was decent. The fish and chips had too much batter, but the fish itself was good once you peeled it away. It seemed like it might have been frozen before being fried. The chicken wings were large and the BBQ sauce was tasty. The onion rings looked and tasted like they were homemade, but I wish they had given us more. Our friends enjoyed the shrimp parmesan with penne and the steak tidbits. The atmosphere was welcoming and we had a great time listening to the band.

I give this restaurant 5 stars for the exceptional service, especially from my waiter Gunner, who was extremely polite and attentive, checking on me multiple times. My order came out fresh and I was eating within a minute. I had the roast beef café, which was very filling. I appreciate the hospitality. Reserva una mesa ahora

I had the roast beef Cafe. Delicious. Very tender beef, flavorful au jus and those onion rings are to die for. This is what I had leftover and I was stuffed. I’m in the area for work and what a great neighborhood gem.
