First time dining at Cafe Loren. It did not disappoint. We started out with Caesar salad, which was very good. My entree was the “BLT”. Lobster, crab & bacon over pasta. It was delicious. I think it was the best entree I've had so far this summer.

The food was excellent and the service was also great! It is a yearly staple for us. Highly recommend the veal dish.

Cafe Loren is our go to spot for all of our special meals together with family and friends. Everyone is treated to a fantastic meal provided by a top notch personable staff and treated like family. Please do yourself a favor and visit our friends at the restraunt, you will never be disappointed. Thank you Josh, Lauren and Ryan for making every visit better than the last. Customer for life.

We go here as a family at least 3 times a year. Our other family member go more often. We love the food preparation. However I have some suggestions. I would like to see a few more specials. The menu is static and this restaurant doesn’t need them for business but it would be nice for repeat customers. Also I had the scallops recently. They were perfect. However the kale on my dish was almost inedible. It was left long and stringy and was a pile in the center of my plate. Better would have been a kale and corn salad with the kale chopped in tiny pieces. Otherwise always lovely.

Easily my favorite restaurant! Our meal was exceptional. From the beginning of the meal we knew we were going to enjoy our night. Service was top notch (as it always is) and the food is expertly prepared. At Cafe Loren the food is consistently delicious. The portions are generous enough to feel satisfied. But not so big that you cannot try something from each course. And there is always room for dessert. We try to have dinner at Cafe Loren whenever our schedules allow. PERFECTION!!

The meals here are always the best. It's a delightful experience. Nick, our server, was well versed on all the menu items and made excellent recommendations.
The menu is relatively small, but something that everyone could enjoy. All our appetizers & entrees were DELICIOUS, wonderfully prepared with just enough innovation. Service was a little slow but not uncommon for the off season at the Jersey shore when it is difficult to find staff. Our waitress was lovely though & very helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Cafe Loren doesn't disappoint! We were a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meals and Nick provided outstanding service. Looking forward to next season already!

Cafe Loren is outstanding. If you are seeking gourmet meals at affordable prices, this is your place. The ambience is great and service is exceptional. It is BYOB but conveniently located close yo a liquor store to grab wine to accompany your meal. Plan ahead though - reservations are a MUST!!
