16 Best Wine Bars near Long Branch

“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.“

“Stopped by the newly opened Gigi’s in Long Branch on my way to the beach. First off, loved that they have a parking lot which didn’t stress me about finding a spot cause I was going to have that adventure when I headed to the beach. I ordered the grandma’s pie and garlic knots! The grandma’s pie had pesto on it and I am a s***** for pesto!! Love the crust style being crispy. Hands down the best garlic knots I ever had! Don’t sleep on this place. It’s 3 blocks from the beach, easy parking and they deliver. I look forward to some pasta dishes on my next visit! Other key likes of mine was the aesthetic, it’s beautiful Inside but decorated to make you feel outside. I was very impressed with the kid friendly atmosphere of the chalkboard wall, beanbag seats and they even have juice boxes on hand for the kiddos. They also accommodate our tweens and teens with a pizza wing mural for their insta! They really thought of everything. The whole staff were so accommodating and genuine. Thank you Tommy and Faye for a great experience.“

“Been going to Max’s since I was kid & they were on the Boardwalk. Still the best hot dog I’ve ever had. Also love their crispy onion rings, steak fries, zucchini fries & sweet potato fries. Other menu items look good however I cannot go to Max’s without getting their famous hot dog!“

“Great food, even take out! Sauce was spicy on two seafood pasta dishes, but other than that it was spot on. Meatballs are out of this world!“

“Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Our waitress Staci was great! We will be back.“

“Food here was solid. Everything we had was good. Cocktails were decent, but a bit too sweet IMO, but if that's your jam, that's good. Maybe it's true Bourbon St vibes. I probably would go somewhere else rather than return here, but it's not bad.“

“Laid back, excellent service. Amazing cocktails...Jalisco is burning--try it. And creative, delicious food.“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

“Great food and service. Our waiter Tony was great“

“We just had my daughter’s bridal shower there and everything was perfect. We chose the lunch buffet and the food was delicious. There was so much included and it was priced very reasonably. The room upstairs was very spacious for our group of 40 people. It was nice to have our own bathroom and bar. The servers were friendly and attentive and also very helpful. Thank you for making the day run so smoothly. It was perfect!!“

“The food is so delicious and the service is great.“

“Words aren’t enough to describe this remarkable and outstanding restaurant. From the service to the food everything was just perfect. One small suggestion, please expand the kids menu. I was with my family and my eight and eleven years old children. Aside from that everything was just beautiful.“

“Visited this excellent restaurant for the first time today. Our experience was terrific. The food was delicious, great presentation and the service from our waiter David was outstanding.“

“Crashed a private event and it was just my style. Might be stuffy in comparison to the bar around the corner, but otherwise seems like first class classical music and comfy couches for a celebratory drink. Can't comment on the food.

Bartender was nice about walking in to the event.“

“Jimmy's Italian Restaurant is one of those Italian restaurants that falls into the category of 'they just keep getting better', - until they approach the level of perfection, - and then they get even better than that. With all the new trendy restaurants opening in Asbury Park over the last several years, it's incredible that Jimmy's is still such a reliable & consistent choice for great food, great service, and a very civilized ambience. Jimmy's understands the needs of their guests, whether it be a birthday celebration, a marriage proposal, a retirement party, or an important business lunch or dinner, - they always come through flawlessly, assuring that everything goes right. There is not a mistake to be made on the whole menu, from the pizza, to the salads, to the fish, the pasta, the desserts and everything else they serve. Whatever you order is fresh, nicely prepared, and delicious. While fancy enough for any occasion, there is something about Jimmy's that also feels very comfortable & familiar every time you go there. It is a wonderful treat every time, whether it is lunch or dinner, winter or summer, crowded or quiet, - this is what a great restaurant is and is supposed to be.“

“The eggplant rollatini appetizer changed but not for the better! There was an extremely bitter herb in it and the pesto on the bottom was not there. Much preferred the original version! Why mess with success unless this is less costly to make? I won't order it again!“
