The first thing I noticed is the building is beautiful and my first time in Asbury Park. The convenience parking and on the boardwalk for the ocean view. The food was delicious and on time. Nick the waiter always coming back to make sure we was good . The crabcakes and calamari was delicious.

Went here for a second time in two weeks. As someone with food allergies I’m used to kitchens messing up my order and I’m always patient. I ordered a gf burger no dairy and it first came out with cheese. The manager came over personally to apologize and bring me fries to eat while waiting for the new burger as everyone else had been served. He also personally delivered the new burger and made sure it was to my liking before he left. Super impressed with the care they have for their customers.

Our waiter Jarod was outstanding. He was attentive and responded to all of our inquiries. Jarod checked on each course, and they were all outstanding. We will definitely be returning.

Service was outstanding. I give Jared ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for the way he proudly presented himself. He was exceptional in the presentation of Patricia's birthday cake!!!

Sat nite 630 reservation. Restaurant was busy. Flag the bar tenders when ready. All staff very friendly. Great varied menu. Attentive service staff. Food was prepared perfectly across 6 people who know food. Non rushed service. Atmosphere a little noisy early on but quieted down after bar crowd thinned out. Definitely go there again. Halibut special was fantastic. Great place. Highly recommend when in or near Asbury Park! Thanks for the great service Jarrod!!

Husband disliked his lamb chops special and bread pudding dessert and I was unimpressed with my apple crumb cheesecake. I must say that my beet salad was enormous and yummy. And my halibut yummy too. Mixed results on our first visit.

We had our wedding here and everything was perfect! Jen & Nicky were our servers and Jack coordinated. From the food to the service, the staff made our special day even more special

This restaurant is charming to look at with a beautiful location and views. The service is fantastic and the quality of the food was good and fresh. However, the food was tasteless. We had fried cod tacos and grilled salmon tacos. There was no tang, no salsa, a crème that tasted like watered down sour cream, and just chopped lettuce and tomato rather than cabbage and onion coleslaw style. The Cubano sandwich was on brioche which doesn’t suit (bread was too soft and sweet), and it had no mustard and no flavor. Pulled apart the ham, pork and bacon was good quality but very mild in flavor. Unfortunately every dish was lacking in flavor. Pity because it is a very attractive restaurant and great staff.Vegetarian options: I think five options. Don’t care

This is a charming place. The decor is quite nice, and the views of the ocean are terrific. However, the food was utterly bland. Two different types of fish tacos, and I had the Cuban sandwich and none of us were happy with it. Maybe it was an off day, but again, quite bland.

Excellent choices on the menu, including the specials. We had a reservation and were treated very well when we arrived and were greeted graciously. Our server, Jess, was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful.
