“If I could give 10 stars I would! I just had my daughter’s baptism lunch at Fresh and along with every single guest we had I could not be more happy with the food, service,hospitality and accommodations! The food was delicious! So fresh and made with passion. The chef knows what he’s doing. The 2 men that hosted for us were beyond professional, patient and friendly to us and our guests. Every step of the way from planning to finish they were amazing! After we got home I had so many people reaching out to me about how good this place is and how they will definitely be returning for dinner in the near future. Thank you all so much for helping make this day stress free and most importantly SPECIAL!”

“Thank you for such a wonderful evening! We couldn’t have chosen a better place for Kelsey and Michael’s rehearsal dinner. Service was excellent, staff was so welcoming and accommodating ❤️ All of the food was delicious with beautiful presentation. Thanks so much!”

“I can't say enough good things about this place, obviously a waterfront beach bar has an amazing view and cool atmosphere, they're constantly hosting events, live music, which attracts a great crowd as well. And by the way, in my opinion as far as bar food goes they're top tier. Not just burgers and chicken fingers but kabobs and short ribs and things you typically see as bar food. Awesome bar food, get a spot on a couch in front of a fire pit next to the water with live music... hard to beat that”

“We ate here today. It was our first time. We loved the food and the atmosphere. It has an interesting history. Definitely worth the drive.”

“we had a great time and recommend trying their ice cream”

“Andy’s is a hidden gem in the highlands! 80s basement vibes inside. No frills- beers and shots, jukebox. Dennis (one of the owners) was great to chat with. I can’t wait to go back!”

“The nicest little bar I’ve ever been in…..you can feel the love…..and I’m a black guy in a %99 white area

“Go there every time we are at sandy hook great food snd service”

“Great place to chill by the bay, lister to music,
And have some good eats from food trucks!
Bring the kids, bring the grandkids grandparents, friends “chill” and have a good time!”

“What a nice little spot on Bay Ave. The lady working the counter was super nice and friendly. The coffee was delightful. Too bad it was raining because they do have outdoor seating”

“Been coming here since it's opening. It's a good place to have a delicious sandwich with a cold draft and enjoy the music of talented musicians.

This year, the service and kitchen staff are back in sync. The menu choices are perfect and the food is very good. Sometimes when it's a busy night, the bartenders also work as wait staff and take table orders for food and drinks. Service is slower so expect to wait on those nights.

We enjoy Taco Night Tuesdays and Open Mic. We also love Trivia Nights and the live music on the weekends. We hope to see this wonderful local establishment stay around for a long time! It would be even better if they could expand the building. Perhaps another floor with a wrap around balcony to take in the amazing water view. Overall, we highly recommend this fine establishment. It's truly a great place to eat, drink, and tap your feet to some good music!”

“We had delivery last night. I haven’t had Chinese food in years because I have never liked it. It was so delicious I woke up to right a review because I’m still thinking about how good it was!”

“Always a Good time and Great food Epic scenery”

“We love going to the proving ground. The food and vibes are great. The service is equally great. But they advertised live music at 8pm that didn't start until almost 9. We left after 1 song because for us it was late. Please stick to your advertised schedule.”

“Best Mexican...hands down..we come up from Wall all the time. nice happy hour too!”

“Great place. A diamond in the rough for sure. Casual and relaxing.”

“Great mussels! Dog friendly outdoor seating. Great location on the water.”

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!”

“Super delicious Italian cuisine, excellent dessert menu, super ambiance, free parking and to top it all off; you can stroll the boardwalk to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!”

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!”
