Pretty poor service. The waiter was definitely checked out! Burger was fair. They would not put caramelized onions on my burger. Very good French fries.

Well, Whitebriar has been our “go to” shushi place for the last 10 years. Until tonight. Not sure what’s changed? 2 stars for the food and drinks was generous.

We had a party of seven. We visited on a Saturday, and we had reservations for 7 pm.
The venue was really loud. The restaurant was not overly crowded. We waited for a bit before our waitress, Teresa, came for drink orders. For the most part, the drinks were good, but one in the party was forgotten.
We ordered apps of the coconut shrimp, the pretzel, the crab cocktail, and the cheese steak egg rolls. The apps were good and were delivered promptly.
We had quite a wait before Teresa returned for our dinner order. As we waited, the air conditioning unit above our table dripped water onto party members and the table, something I considered a health violation. This continued even after we pointed it out.
Once our order was taken, our food was rather slow in delivery. I ordered the crab cake dinner, and a side salad. The salad greens were crisp, but had a funny, moldy taste. This could have been the dressing. I asked for honey mustard which was served in plastic serving size containers. The honey and mustard had separated.
My crab cakes were nice portions and were pretty good. However, the mashed potatoes were broken, and grainy, with the consistency of grits. They were not as warm as I would have liked.
There was no salt or pepper at the table. I had to get up and scavenge for them myself. I also had to scavenge for cocktail sauce for one of the party members. Not one staff member approached me to help, even though the items were in a high traffic area near the kitchen.
After dinner, I had to seek out our waitress for the bill. Our tab was $445 which I feel, for the quality and service, was overpriced.
In my opinion, the restaurant is over-hyped.

That one bartender with the curly long hair is the best. He makes the absolute best mojitos and upinsmokes. He’s the best muddler on the island so be sure to order a drink that requires muddling. Thanks again Ian hope you can serve me again soon.

worst waitress ever was screaming at us the entire time even when we were being so respectful and kind. she screamed when one of us had to go to the bathroom “ur out of your go damn mind” and plus she also told other customers that we are horrifying which we overheard when we were coming back from the bathroom. She also cursed at us when we were ordering our food for no reason. worst experience ever.

Our second visit to the Whitebrier. Get better every time. There is a vibrant outdoor patio that brings a lot of energy and music. We sat in the restaurant off to the side (motorboat club) and enjoyed the patio vibe from a distance. We loved the food. Namely the sushi. Got the coconut shrimp, blackened scallops for spa. And crab cakes, aki and romantic rolls for the main. Everything was delicious

Great atmosphere great service but food was subpar… undercooked good slimy sushi prices too high for amateur cooking … should have gone elsewhere ?

We dropped by for an unscheduled dinner at the beach. The service was surprisingly good, and the food was very solid. The challenge here is the venue. This place is clearly focused on the young, drink all night crowd. The noise level is high, the drinks are watered down and the server's main concern seems to be underage drinkers. Not terrible, but go elsewhere if you are over 30.

Dave and I chose to have a wedding at the shore. Instead of choosing the “typical” wedding venue, we chose The Whitebrier in Avalon, NJ, a popular bar at the Jersey Shore. I, personally, wanted this venue because I always loved the wood-inn-feel it had, plus The Whitebrier’s sprawling space with both indoor and outdoor space appealed to me. Dave trusted me, and since our families are both frequenters of the Jersey shore, he was happy with the choice, especially because The Whitebrier was a laid back choice.When we visited The Whitebrier in January of 2022 for a preliminary walkthrough, my parents were nervous about my venue choice and, quite frankly, questioned my sanity. The Whitebrier has a red bar room, with a mermaid. I’ll say it again, my parents were nervous.When Dave and I, our bridal party, and of course, my parents, walked into The Whitebrier on October 8, we were blown away. Our wedding was magical and warm. I still am in awe at how John, with our planner, Ashley, and her team, along with the florist, Amber, transformed The Whitebrier. John, was so accommodating. My parents even said they were wrong; they loved every aspect of the wedding. From the food, the service, to the space itself being able to offer every guest a special experience, our wedding was perfect.
