A gastronomical delight, Atlantic City is a fantastic foodie hot spot. Even still, there are a ton of restaurants throughout the area that seem to go relatively unnoticed to tourists. If you are ready to get full on some wonderful local AC restaurants, check out the spots discussed below:
The Iron Room at Atlantic City Bottle Company may be the best-kept secret in Atlantic City right now. And, while ownership hopes it doesn’t’ stay that way, it’s kind of fitting.
That’s because The Iron Room is modeled after a Prohibition-era speakeasy, a beautiful, cozy, dimly lit bar and restaurant that you discover after walking through a bright, classy, upscale package goods store.
“We wanted to pay respects to Atlantic City history with a wink and nod,” says Managing Partner Paul Tonacci. “The way we designed the place is that when you walk in, you see this high-end bottle store with great spirits, beer and wine.

Look at all of the scotches and bourbons and whiskeys and craft beer. And then you are handed a small plates, seasonal food menu and realize we have a lot to offer here.” Read More
