First time there & we were NOT disappointed! Not a bad bite to be had! Blackened steak bites appetizer was tender and juicy, calamari were perfectly fried, sauce was wonderful. The truffle taters were the table favorite!! Cocktails clever & delicious. Main meals were beautiful & flavorful! We're were stuffed!! Best key lime pie I've had outside of FL! Main dining room with stone fireplace looked over the Manasquan River & Marina with huge wi does but still managed to be cozy! Our whole party of 4 were very satisfied and will be returning for sure!

They must've changed their menu there. The food is very good. Service was very good. Enjoyed ourselves.

Good burgers as usual. Server was attentive but took a little long for my dessert. And was less attentive then he could have been. Overall a good meal

Melissa

Waitress was great. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Surf & turf was on point. Truffle Asiago Chicken was amazing!! Always a favorite place to go

Deborah

The food was delicious, we enjoyed a wide array of selecltions--brussel sprouts, New England clam chowder, burger, shepherd's pie (for St. Patty's Day!), parmesean crusted chicken. Paired with a few of the special cocktails and Irish Coffee with Apple Crisp for dessert! Our server, Abby, was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, sweet, fun and enjoyed our little game of who gets the check after the meal! Look forward to coming back soon!

Wound up here because River Rock was closed for renovations. Always just eh. Today was no different. Margarita was mostly sour mix and not even shaken. Tomato bisque was watery for bisque and not very flavorful. Steak bites were tepid at best and extremely chewy. The sauce wasn't bad, but would have been better if it was warmer. Fries were boring and soggy. Fish tacos were dry until we asked for some kind of dressing. Menu had very limited options.

Our waitress Morgan was the Best, food was awesome. But the Manager was not at all the Nicest to us. My Friend took a sip of her Drink , and its a Drink she loves because its a sweet drink, it came back she took a Sip and Said it was sour called the waitress over who was so so sweet. My friend decided on another drink that she also knows is Sweet. In the Mean time the Manager comes over and she Asked our friend what was wrong, she explained then in a Snarky reply to my friend she was like " WELL HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE BEFORE" AND when our friend said yes Many times She had the nerve to Roll her Eyes. After awhile when our food was brought to us, this Manager walks up to my Friend and once again snarky Asks," just this one friend" How her Food was, never asks any of the rest of our Group. So i then continued to watch people around us and this Manager never walked up to any other tables to ask about their food. As much as the food was great and an awesome waitress, i know i will never go back.

We went to Harpoons a minimum of 2 times per week. For years! Now the menu is so weird, the food isn’t good. New bartenders are not on the ball. I sat for 30 minutes the other day until I got my wine refilled. We go there to support the original bartenders. They are amazing. Shout out to Ryan, Dave, and the girls. They fired one of the best bartenders because he spoke up . He was telling the owner that customers weren’t happy. It wasn’t broke so why reinvent.

My first time at Harpoon Willy’s will be my last. I ordered the $27 blackened tuna salad…tuna was not seasoned at all, not a speck of black on it. Oil they brought for O&V dressing was likely canola, very light and tasteless. Boyfriend and his mom ordered the “lump” crab cake sandwich, which it was - a lump of crab ‘ish stuff, unseasoned, on a 10-cent supermarket bun. Gross. Not worth the $
