This is a nice slightly higher end restaurant. I came here for my birthday and had a really nice steak. The service is friendly and prompt. The quality of all the menu items I had was very good. The atmosphere inside is it's very nice for this type of restaurant. It is very clean and well maintained. The interior is nicely decorated and updated.

Cool spot in the quiet Atlantic highlands... Nice atmosphere, we first sat in the dining room, but we were the only people there., so we moved to the bar...

Great service, really awesome drinks, and we had 3 apps, and chips and guac.

Everything was delicious, a bit spicy for my lady, but we powered through.
If you like spicy, and quality, this place is a must.

Had dinner there last night with my family.
We all had a bunch of small plates. The food was fantastic. Specific highlights include the Crab Cakes, the Pork Bites, the stuffed peppers. Even the kids menu had really good chicken fingers and fries.
The drink I had, The Grand Canyon margarita, was also excellent
