“Jennifer was fantastic! She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the restaurant. She went over all the new menu items. I ordered a special drink and she went out of her way to see if the bar had the ingredients to make it. She paid a lot of attention to us as appropriate. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and great service. PF Chang has fabulous food we loved everything.”

From the moment I arrived until I left, I felt welcomed and pampered by the food and the service. I highly recommend it! I also have to mention the waiter Julieta was so amazing, she provided excellent service, was so patient with explaining the menu and always very courteous. We definitely will be back!”

“I recently stopped in for brunch at the bonefish grill in brick and had the best time. Aaliyah was our server and she was great. Very upbeat and personable. Audrey the manger stopped by to make sure our experience was nothing but perfect. She even interacted with my kids which was great. Can’t wait to go back for brunch again.”

“Amazing food, great service, it’s truly wonderful what this kitchen does for the community.”

“We attended an evening meal.
The food was fantastic. The selection and the suplement closing while we dined was the only drawback. The supplement menu was going to be closed which made us rush our order.
The drinks were great and even made to order. They came in a decent amount of time well done.
Easy parking
The staff I have to say should be commended. They were there when we needed and supportive and friendly throughout the meal. I will be honest we had a difficult personality with us but the staff had him smiling and happy. Again great staff!

The setup of the location is down a long corridor. With a very long walk to the end if you need the restrooms. You need to pass the kitchen (VERY CLEAN!!) and an event space.
When we attended the restaurant was not packed but it was still very loud.

Beyond that a wonderful place, wonderful meal, and a wonderful night.

“We love going to Spire every weekend! Everyone is so nice there the girls even know our drinks by heart and have them ready for us even before we order.”

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.”

“The best service and food.”

“Wow The best Italian restaurant at the jersey shore if you go Friday or Saturday you better get a reservation I would suggest you get one during the week also to be safe.

“Yet another reason why 502 Bakery is my bakery of choice. Woke-up Saturday morning (4/12/2025) craving crumb coffee cake. Arrived at 502 Bakery a few minutes before 9AM, but when I approached the door the sign said, "Sorry We're Closed!" I did not realize they opened at 9:30AM. So I went back to my vehicle to wait 30-minutes until they officially opened. LOL... Wait?! Yes, the crumb cake is that good! Not more than 2-minutes later, I looked back from my vehicle to see the neon 'OPEN' sign on! Rather than having a customer wait they chose to open early. 502 Bakery's customer service matches the quality of their product. Thanks 502 team! See you again soon. Gerald S.”
