Stella Marina Restaurant & Bar

For the “exorbitant” prices they charge, food was average, atmosphere was mediocre, and service was nonexistent. Server disappeared completely.

In the beginning, just 4 (“four”) tiny slices of bread came (The next table got a full basket of bread). After we have already finished the bread, parmesan and crushed red pepper came.

We never got enough water, and we were literally parched while eating the greasy, spicy, saucy food. I had to take my pills, I needed water, I barely had enough water at the bottom of the glass for three pills. The next table’s water kept getting replenished, while we were entirely skipped.

We had to literally call the server to bring a bit more water, and she disappeared again after bringing one glass each.

Do not go to this place. I am not going again.

Food was very good, sauce was delicious on fra diavolo

The Squid Ink Pasta with Seafood was really amazing! So was the Sunday gravy.

Fantastic dining experience! The food was incredible, but what really made the afternoon stand out was my bartender, Marissa. She was friendly and attentive. Her service was top-notch and added to the overall excellent experience, Highly recommend this restaurant and especially sitting where Marissa is at the bar!

Can’t say enough about this place!! Food & service was out of this world!!! Worth every penny!! Usually in such a hi class restaurant, you’re getting great food in very tiny portions… not here!! I made 2 meals out of my dinner!! & I don’t get to say that often!! Highly recommend the Porkchop & also this amazing fig wrap as an appetizer!!

Just got drinks, they cant make a pina colada! We got bahama mamas instead. $18 a drink. Would go back for dinner..

A very nice option at the beach. We enjoyed a birthday celebration. Freddy provided great service and the food was delicious. A place you can go casual or dress up a bit and feel comfortable either way. My biggest complaint is when restaurants charge a credit card fee. All that does is mean I'm not leaving an additional tip for the server when the gratuity is already included.

Food was excellent, service wonderful, atmosphere festive, and the pistachio martini is out of this world

While the food is pretty good, the cocktails nor service are great. It's definitely a poor value for the cost relative to other Italian options in Asbury Park

Great food and great service. Honestly little over priced compared to other places in town. Would go back but not as often due to prices

we had a fabulous Christmas Eve at Stella Marina. From Jaime at the hostess desk to Amy who placed us at the table , to Val or waiter. Food was also great each one of us had different meals. the filet mignon was a winner! will hopefully make this an annual tradition. eileen ruane

Food was excellent! Best Caesar salad and all four of our dinners were great - pappardelle, gnocchi and two of the seafood specials. We'll definitely be back!

Always great food! Service was excellent as well. Going back with the fam in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

Wait staff was very pleasant and helpful. But the service was slow, Food was excellent as always and the location and view of course are wonderful.

A little expensive but very good. The butter ball things are Def weird and taste chalky.
