Loved that during the hectic festival they kept to the reservations we had and the service was excellent and the food was as well

I have come here often and this visit was really poor! It wasn't crowded and yet the server was nowhere to be found...the food was not good at all. No one enjoyed their meals which is usually rare. It seemed very loud inside and there with music playing maybe because it wasn't as crowded but there wasn't any live music it was just speaker music that the volume was too loud! It was just an overall disappointing poor visit and it was Wyeth the money at all.

The menu prices were not what we were charged for our drinks, appetizers and entrees. The specials we ordered were the correct price, but we realized later most everything else was a different price than stated on the menu. Our server forgot to bring out a caeser salad, which we were charged for. She apologized and said ask for her next time and there would be a discount offered. I don't see how that would happen... It was a holiday weekend, but no one mentioned any upcharges or that we were going to pay more. The service was good, food was also good, but we will not go back. Felt somewhat cheated. We should have asked for an explanation or clarification, but it was getting crowded when we left... We tipped 30 percent despite the shell shock of the prices.

The good was great. You might want to consider a valet parking option. Trying to find parking to be a consumer at this location is horrendous.

Have eaten here at least once a year for the last 6 years. Good menu always Find the food consist and good. Lately the restaurant is looking old and in need of a revamp. The windows and interior looked like it could use a major cleaning. The restaurant is so close and convenient to the hotels making it hard to pass up. Hoping for a new look and change of menu soon.

Food is good. Nice beverage selection. The service is so poor. So much confusion. And soooo slow. We dined here twice in a 3 week period and had identical experiences with different staff.

Forgot my credit card after dining, they called me and said they had it. Really appreciated the courtesy call!

Very nice spot for dinner on the boardwalk of Asbury Park. Decor is nice, we were seated quickly and our server was attentive and friendly. Terrific cocktails menu and they were prepared perfectly. Food was very good. Drunken clams were great. Flatbread was nicely done. Fish tacos were good, spiced and prepared just right. The ribs had a good tangy sauce and were prepared well. Good value for the price.

I sent back the vegetable risotto. It was the worst risotto I've ever had. It was pasty. I ordered the short rib raviolis instead. They ground the short rib into a pate to stuff into the ravioli. It was gross and the peas were mushy. Everything was mush upon mush upon mush.

Severely over priced, dishes were terrible around the whole table. Nothing worse than spending a ton and leaving dissatisfied. Makes sense why there are always available reservations here. I would recommend going elsewhere, won't be back.

Food and service is always the best ! Meghan was our server today. The wait time for our apps and meal was perfect ! Everything was delicious . Looking forward to our next visit :)

Danny

Nothing was served hot. Specific requests (fork to replace a dropped one, well-done fries, extra BBQ sauce, etc) ignored. Meh at best. Won't be back.

Nancy

The hostess on the outside and roof top were obnoxious. There were empty tables on the rooftop and said they didnt have any tables. Terrible service. I went on my phone open table and got a reservation in 15 minutes. No need for that

Opentable Diner

Great live music we could hear even in the back. Can be hard to find parking. Probably will take the train next time
