“My family and I visited Djeet? in Shrewsbury today, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our server, Dayanira C., was exceptional from the moment we sat down.

She was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our entire meal. She took the time to explain the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and shared how fresh and carefully prepared the food is. Her enthusiasm for the restaurant was contagious, and thanks to her suggestions, we enjoyed an amazing meal.

It's becoming harder and harder to find service like this. Dayanira truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. She is a tremendous asset to the restaurant.

The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared, and the exceptional service made it even better. I highly recommend Djeet?, and if you have the opportunity, ask for Dayanira—you won't be disappointed!

We'll definitely be back!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“One of my favorite seafood places in South Jersey shore located next to Shark River. The atmosphere is great with inside and outside seating. This is my 3 rd time going to this place and I plan to go more. Always fresh tasting food and great service. The ocean breeze while eating, a view of the locals passing by with boats on the river while you eat is just relaxing. I highly recommend this place. There is an outside tiki bar as well.“

The service was unbelievably great from start to finish, and the food was absolutely awesome. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!“
