We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite the place being nearly empty, it took about 30 minutes just to receive our appetizer, followed by another 20–30 minutes for our entrees to arrive. When the food finally came, my steak, which I asked for medium, was nearly raw. The crab and spinach artichoke dip had barely any crab, and another dish came without the sauce it was supposed to have.

To make things worse, our server never came back to check on us after bringing the food. Once we were done eating, we waited around 20 minutes for her to return so we could pay, only to find her sitting in a booth on her phone. Even after asking for the check, she returned to the booth and didn’t come back for another 10–15 minutes.

Between the slow service, poor attention to detail, and underwhelming food, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Definitely won’t be returning.

This place is good for first date situations. Its relatively cheap for two ppl to come here and eat. The atmosphere is relaxed (when i was there) and the place seems clean and well run. No complaints there. Our server was dope. She was attentive and had a bubbly personality. No complaints. Food. Oh, the food. My entrée picture says it all. Steak and shrimp with mashed and vegetables. Should be simple enough. Nope! There must be a shortage of shrimp in the ocean because I got one. One shrimp for a 40 dollar dish. Like, I'm not a complainer, really, but one shrimp ya'll? One? You ppl can do better than that. Plus, the steak tasted sour and old. It also smelled funny. I had one bite and left the rest on the plate. I had some of the mashed and most of the vegetables and at the one shrimp. Still charged me full price for that. All in all, you come for the atmosphere. Definitely not the food. Hope this helps. ✌🏼

Solid spot to watch game, get a drink and get some food. New late night menu is pretty good.

I was here for a film festival down the street. They were busy when I went. Not much room, really. There was a private party there so it was mainly a standing room only. There was seating but it quickly filled up. I didn't get anything extravagant, just some basic chicken fingers. Service took a while. For what I had ordered. Nice little town.

Famished after riding 100 miles at The Twin Lights bike event. Did a Google search and found Harborside Grill.

Fantastic vibes & venue as we walked in. The energy is flowing at the bar as a game is on and the fans are cheering.

Sat at a comfortable booth and Laura was hospitable & easy to talk to. Chose the cheese burger for its size & depth. Every bite was flavorful & tender.

Loved the local tap beer which I had but the name eludes me…

My wife and I had dinner there a couple of nights ago. The food seemed fine at first but she noticed an off taste with the food. Long story short a day after she had to go to the hospital for food poisoning. My wife and I will not going back to this restaurant.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!!!!

Parking: If you get there early there is parking. But as with all things on earth there are more people than spots so use your brain and be the early bird cause there is no cheese for the second mouse

They no longer allow dogs on the terrace. Used to go every week with the dog after a nice walk. So few dog friendly places in Atlantic Highlands. Luckily Highlands remains dog friendly, just ashame as I considered this bar as our local when we moved here.
