The seventh member of the Tide Table Group’s family of restaurants, Ellis’ Chicken & Crab Cakes, opened its doors on June 20 in Beach Haven. Billy Mehl, Tide Table’s operations manager and part owner of Ellis’, shared the experience with The SandPaper.

The location at 208 North Bay Ave. was previously staff housing, acquired by the group several years ago. Since Superstorm Sandy hit LBI’s shores in 2012, the first floor was out of commission – until now.
