At the core, it is the personal elements of Dogtooth that shine. The Dogtooth Bar and Grill is one of Wildwood’s best restaurants known for its’ diverse selection. The décor throughout the restaurant was inspired by his father’s love for the ocean and long-time Kona Surf Shop ownership. Brendan decided to open a unique restaurant concept that offers a great place for locals and tourists to start their night off with their favorite drink and an outstanding menu with a touch of an Asian/Mexican/American influence and hearty portions. Dogtooth loves the “Little Dudes” as well. Our owner and staff have children of their own, and truly understand that “Kids are people too”. Their menu is full of kid’s favorite foods and also can be a work of art; with us providing crayons so they can color their menu. Dogtooth Bar and Grill is also the perfect place when customers need that “little extra”. They can have business lunches, holiday gatherings, birthday parties or a special occasion celebration.
The Dogtooth Bar & Grill has an excellent reputation throughout our community. It is a favorite for both the "local crowd" and vacationers alike. Our restaurant has been featured in many different articles and received glowing reviews by several publications as well as internet sites such as urbanspoon.com. Come see for yourself and visit the Dogtooth Bar & Grill...a Wildwood/Cape May County favorite!
ROOTS
The year is 1969. Richard Nixon is being sworn in as President of the United States, Neil Armstrong is walking on the moon. Four days of peace, love, and music are happening in Woodstock, New York. Mike Sciarra, a young, wet behind the ears surfer is fresh off the plane from the island of Oahu. With a bachelors of economics under one arm and a surfboard under the other, Mike set his sights on the east coast with a mission to create a brand with a positive vibe that offers premium products at affordable prices for patrons both young and old; and Kona Surf Co. was born.
A NEW GENERATION
It is through this ambition and success that inspired the entrepreneurial spirit of his son, Brendan Sciarra, who’s vison has launched several keystone business’s on the island of Wildwood, NJ. In 1998, Brendan took over a then failing restaurant/bar and with his detailed approach and hands on philosophy, seemingly handcrafted the Dogtooth Bar & Grill into the island’s most noteable establishment and local favorite. Even with a relentless approach to expanding his brand, the Dogtooth maintains firm to it’s roots, evident by the surf board from his father’s original surf shop hanging in the restaurant.
