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 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!

Went there years ago and finally had a chance to go again. Everything was wonderful. Great service, very delicious food, nice environment. Highly recommend! Still as lovely and delicious as the last time I was there!

Parking: I went at 5:30 in 2nd week of September so there was plenty of parking then.
