The Columns offers a welcoming atmosphere and great food, including a buffet-style dinner service. The stunning decor and beachside location are a bonus. The indoor section features live music and turns into a lively bar/club scene at night. Guests can enjoy dinner on the outdoor patio overlooking the ocean, even as the band plays indoors, creating a nostalgic feel. The restaurant has been a summer bar and restaurant since 1883, located in a Victorian-era mansion. The food and cocktails are on point, with popular dishes like the Surf-n-Turf roll with lobster & steak, fried calamari, and Seafood Mediterranean. Service is great, and the staff are excited about the NJ #eatjersey challenge. The wrap-around porch offers a beautiful ocean view, perfect for casual outdoor dining. The venue regularly hosts good live bands, making it a nice place to sip, eat, and talk. Overall, The Columns is a family-friendly spot with ocean and beach views, ideal for lunch or dinner, with live entertainment in season. It's a memorable place for a great experience by the shore.
