“We (a party of 4) had dinner last Thursday (3-7-24). We decide to select our dinner choices from the fixed-price menu being offered that evening. EVERYTHING was wonderful. In reading the other reviews, they truly reflect our own dining experience. This is going to sound a little weird, but I have found this to be true. If the restaurant proprietor (as in this case) provides a restroom facility that goes beyond just clean and tidy, I believe the same attention to detail carries over to every aspect of the restaurant, from food preparation to presentation. Truth be told, I used the facility early in the evening. I can’t speak to what it may look like at the end of a busy summer Saturday service, but its condition would reflect more on the customer comportment. Final note, I’m about an hour away, but it is well worth the drive. GREAT RESTAURANT!“

“The food is so good in Marandola‘s restaurant.“

“Our server Andrea was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she efficient, she was very pleasant, personable, and kind. Watching her work was like watching a cross between Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and Tom Brady at the peak of their careers. Amongst the chaos of a weekend dinner shift, she was a sea of calm and a breath of fresh air. If there were a server hall of fame, she would be our nomination. We will be returning for this exceptional experience again and again. Thank you Andrea!“

“Try the seafood chowder!! It’s the best secret on the shore.“

“Xina is definitely recommended. The evening we visited we had dinner and the food was excellent. The dining room is smallish but quiet for a busy bustling room service was excellent the evening we went. The waitress couldn't have been any nicer and was quite knowledgeable about the menu. We sat at the sushi bar. I had a wonton soup that was a special and it was definitely the best wonton soup I've ever had in my life. We didn't have any of the sushi this time, but next time I will definitely try it. The kitchen looked super clean and organized from my point of view. The only thing that was not five stars was the lack of parking.“

“Always friendly staff. Bartenders are always so nice. Love the happy hour specials.“

“Family friendly next to open water. All new bulkhead and the owners are great.“

“Had a delightful experience at Brielle House Bar & Grill. Very impressed with the menu and execution of all the dishes that we ordered. We were lucky to score an oversized booth, which was cozy. Nice pour on the wine. The place is spotless, elevated, but not at all stuffy. Staff made us feel so welcome. I am truly confused about the motive of a prior review I read on here. It cannot be the same place that we just enjoyed so much.“

“Went to Jack's to see CatNip Live Music who were incredible! The food and staff were great. Great live music venue with a cool vibe!“

“Food was great this is the third time we've eaten here. I had a clam chowder. Food is definitely good. Service was very good and decent parking lot. They even have fresh fish if you're looking for something to take home and cook. I recommend checking this place out. In the warmer weather you can even eat outside“
