Our Story
We take fresh seriously. Chef Steve Botta and his team take pride in offering menu selections that are house-made, from scratch, with top ingredients hand-selected and delivered daily. While certain staples will appear on the menu year-round, daily specials will offer a taste of the season.
Your appetizer and salad options range from the familiar to the unique. If you like your appetizer on the half-shell, you are in luck! Our raw bar is one of very few in the area and we keep it fully stocked with East and West Coast selections of shellfish like oysters, crab, shrimp and clams.
Our Ingredients
All of our pasta is made in-house by hand daily. Beach Tavern is home to an Italian Arcobaleno brand pasta machine. It features brass extruders that give our pasta a rough, rustic texture perfect for absorbing our delicious sauces. One bite and you will swear someone’s Italian grandmother bestowed these recipes on us!
All of our proteins are of the highest quality and sourced from specialized purveyors with decades of experience in the industry. We receive deliveries of fresh seafood daily. Our steaks are all Angus or dry-aged. We only serve hormone and antibiotic-free chicken. Our burger is a custom blend of sirloin, short rib and brisket. Just try to save room for dessert.
