“Our server was excellent, very attentive and knowledgeable. My wife and I had the sesame Tuna Entree. Wasabi mashed were excellent, but the tuna we were served was cut way too thick (both of us had two chunks on the mashed)and the vegetables were Luke warm. Tuna was seasoned proper, but the chunkiness of the tuna overshadowed the flavor of the tuna. Hope this helps!“
“While somewhat short on atmosphere, this place more than makes up for it with great food (I am quite partial to their burgers) & great, pleasant service (thank you very much!). Definitely in my rotation.Parking: Plenty of free parking & if the lot is full -/ there’s plenty of street & train station parking right across the street.“
“We have been here 4 or 5 times in the past few months and we couldn't love it more. Always choose to sit in bar area. Cozy and love the fireplace. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and good servings. Would recommend Four Winds to anyone.“
“Great little Italian restaurant in Point Pleasant. Reservations are highly recommended as when we left, it was an hour wait. The smell in the air of fresh Italian food was intoxicating. This is a BYOB place, so bring the vino. Dinner portions are of a large size. Comes with soup or salad and homemade pasta or vegetables. Seating is tight. Service was excellent, and owner stops by every table to drop off a starter and later to see how you are doing. Only complaints would be the homemade pasta is very aldente, and the Caesar dressing is very vinegar forward, and I like acid. Would definitely go back again. Oh and the pistachio Gelato is a must have.“
“This restaurant is one of the very few to consistently have 4.8 and higher ratings since it first burst onto the scene less than a decade ago. They established and proved themselves as an outstanding culinary stronghold in a small restaurant space on route 88 for several years. But, the unrelenting demand and extensive waitlist prompted the owners to jump up the atmosphere to match their superlative upscale dining. They moved just 2 miles into a more suitable, spacious and comfortable setting, with soaring ceilings, and an upscale vibe. The founders, Dominic and Nicki, work the room and their very prestigious regulars w finesse and gracious hospitality, and the food remains top notch! Anyone who dares to ping them with a subpar review, clearly needs to rethink their gastronomic goals! That being said, this place is right up there with, and if not superseding, nyc heavyweights Il Mulino and it truly an extraordinary experience of top notch gourmet mixed with old school Italian ambiance! If I could give it 10 stars I would. If the Sopranos were food, this would be it!“
“This is a lovely spot! You'd think it's mostly for the summer with the ceviches, but they have all sorts of tasty hot dishes perfect for all year round. We had the grilled shrimp entree and a seafood stew -- it was so warm, hearty, and delicious! I'd come back again in a heartbeat.“
“I took my sister here for a nice dinner and let me tell you, this is one of those restaurants where they are just firing on all cylinders. The Filet Mignon made me wish I had a rewind button, and the scallops were sooooo good. If you are in the Toms River area I would highly consider giving this place a try.“
“I love Daniel's Bistro. Have been going for years, and most recently about a month ago, and it was perfect. It has great vibe, staff is personable, it was a group of five so we ordered a lot of appetizers and desserts, too. Will be back again soon.“
“Happy Saint Patrick's Day to us!?? The English Pea soup with fresh mint was delicious!Our meal was spot on! The presentation was pleasing to the eye and appetizing! The pork chop dinner was cooked to perfection and we both enjoyed the chocolate cake for dessert.The food, Andrew, and his staff are amazing!Five shamrocks for this restaurant!?????Kathy & Greg“
“Our favorite seafood restaurant in the area! Their food is always incredibly fresh and well prepared. Casual, authentic ambiance, and BYOB which is always a plus. Our favorites are the sushi, lobster roll, crab cakes, and lobster bisque. Highly “
“Picked up 2 - Feast of the 7 Fishes for Christmas Eve, and my family and I ate like kings!! One traditional and one lemon garlic, prepared with Pinot and just so easy to cook using the QR code right on the side of the pot! Would recommend The Boiling Point for big or small gatherings. Their deserts are great, too!“
“We came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for a group of 6. You enter through the pizza shop to get to the dining room and were promptly seated. Our server was excellent! She was very polite, friendly, did not mind repeating herself and was very patient with the elderly members of our group. The food was delicious, the portions were huge and everyone enjoyed their selection. Found a new gem with great prices plus BYOB. Only downside is the dining room gets a little loud. But we will definitely go back!“
“This family owned franchise location goes above and beyond with there customer service and there attention to detail when it comes to your dining experience, from the bread and olive oil in the beginning of your meal to the amazing desserts and cocktails at the end. The cozy old school atmosphere is the best, compared to all the other restaurants in its class that follow the new look of modern plain themed dining. Highly recommend the seafood here as it is literally handpicked by the owner meticulously for your pleasure.“
“Jean, our server was pleasant, high energy, fast, quick witted, most attentive and will become your best friend as soon as you meet her. Food and cocktails were outstanding !! Live music by Andy Russo was a pleasant surprise - playing all of our favorite Bruce songs with a special guest joining him playing Stevie Nicks Landslide! Mr C’s was one of the most pleasant dining experiences we’ve had since we’ve moved to Asbury park. This dining experience will not disappoint! We will be back in the near future and cannot wait to be back here in the summer and go up to the sunset deck!“
“Seen this places mentioned here in my maps when I was in the area decided to go and try it out. The food was amazingly delicious!! I ordered 2 whiting dinners with 2 sides each dinner. We had macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and yams (probably the best yams I've ever had). I recommend this place to anyone who loves soul food! This place rates a 10 in my book!!“
“Not the first time or the last time. Excellent selections, food choices. Started with the soup followed by appetizers. The mussels in red sauce with the artesian bread was great, a meal in itself. The main entry Stuffed jumbo shrimp for the wife the Codfish for myself covered with just the right of amount of capers in red sauce. Followed by a slice of Ricotta & pistachio cake cake. Looking forward to my next visit.“
“BEST lobster outside Maine & I've Summered in Maine since 1961. I only order the Connecticut roll, warm, dripping with large buttery pieces of claw & chopped tail on a traditional soft lobster roll. Delicious! Better flavor, fresher than lobster at the shore's best known seafood restaurants. And a few $ cheaper. I tried the mac & cheese w/ lobster once but frankly, lobster is way too delicate to drown in that sandwich, but it was a noble sandwich for fans. I stick to exactly 1 thing now: 5 stars for their CT lobster roll at Cousins truck, Brick, NJ.“
“This place is always busy, but I must say for all the years that it has been there. They try to accommodate you whatever which way they can to get you seated. Going there and experiencing the atmosphere you get when you're eating, you won't be disappointed. We had over 18 people to be seated to eat, and they accommodated us.Kid-friendliness: They have no problem accommodating your children not at all.“
“Wow wow...oh so good. We sat outside and had the best lunch. I had the shrimp po boy and my wife the fish tacos. Both were excellent. The po'boy roll toast and soft ( not a hot dog roll). Crispy shrimp cole slaw and sauce. Home made pasta salad. Toasted pita chips. The fish tacos with guacamole were so so good. A place to go back to again and again.“
“This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants down the shore. I went for my birthday in August-which was a beautiful time to be down by the beach and the atmosphere at Amelia's offers a beachy, romantic looking main room - light & bright, yet warm and inviting. There are outer rooms to sit that have a more casual feel. I also went for a late Valentine's Day/anniversary w my husband last week (March) and while it was colder outside, the inside was just as cozy and inviting. The food is impeccable, I don't think I have had anything even so-so there, or other people at my table. The preparation is first-rate, seafood is fresh and the portions are very good (seafood pasta I made dinner out of it 3x!) but it doesn't fall short on flavor. The host/owner is very attentive and so polite and friendly, as are the wait staff. I live a little further away from the shore these days, but I have no problem getting down to my new favorite place in Spring Lake! Win win for Amelia's & the beach across the street!“
“Their lobster rolls are the best in NJ Served with home fries or homemade cole slaw .Everything so fresh .we take a ride there just to get seafood or a lobster roll . It"s the closet place that comes close to New Englands Lobster rolls and seafood ..Nothing fancy but great “
“Excellent scallop salad, 3 nice sized scallops with a light dressing, lots of shredded cheese and dried fruit. I do prefer pared pears though.New England chowder was tasty, but had a little too much roux and was quite thick.Superb service for a party of 22! Very impressive!“
“Went night before Valentine's. Got a great table. Our server, Jason, was fantastic; friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. Food was amazing, as usual. The special, "Chatham Cod Casino" was beyond delicious. Excellent experience.“
“Everything was excellent!! We really enjoyed it all. I had the meatball app and scallops both delicious. My husband had the special Chilean sea bass and Thai mussels. Our friends had the beet salad and fluke and one of the pastas. No one had leftovers—it was gone! We are too quick for photos sorry! We’ll definitely be back ?“
“Overall a very good experience celebrating my birthday & a friend's. Our waiter Dylon, did an excellent job making food recommendations & checkin up on us. The food seemed a bit pricey (I know everything has gone up in price) but was delicious. One thing I would mention is when the folks come around to the table to clear places, glasses, etc. maybe coach them to wait a bit and remove mostly all the dishes at the time time. Outside of that this place is a hit! Keep up the great work!“
“My children had a 70th birthday dinner there for me on 1/20. The food was amazing! The service was outstanding, and the birthday cake, well I seriously could have eaten the entire cake! Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. There were 12 of us at the table, they were welcoming and right on top of everything. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be sorry. Oh the the entertainer singing was awesome! Very nice, I will be back.“
“First visit for table of four-Red Snapper, Pork chop special x2and Rigatoni special absolutely fabulous. Yes the meatballs are out of this world! Two gentle suggestions if I may, serve the Zabaglione/berries in a parfait glass not a dinner plate. Table was extremely wobbly, our waitress handed us two shims to crawl under table to fix! Would have been more appropriate for the two young male busboys to do.“
“I want to give a huge shout out/thank you to the owner of this restaurant. She went out of her way to show up early yesterday so I could purchase a small gift card. I had time restraints and don't live .near by.My brothers favorite restaurant !! GREAT FOOD AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.Love the outside seating in the summer .Thanks again Rajun Cagun !“
“Seared ahi tuna was perfection. Came over a bed of kale—I appreciated green side. Also snagged some seaweed salad from behind the counter.On the fried side: Clams and local sea bass sandwich were both yummy.Great walk in place with counter seating.“
“The food is outstanding. Ate here for the 1st time and we were amazed at how great and fresh the food is. Definitely highly recommend to everyone. We got the lobster, but I ordered the tacos because you get more for the same price and I have to say the salsa that's made fresh is great and the fresh chips are the best I have ever had in my life. Well worth the money and will definitely be returning. My only issue is the seating area is tight and separate from the kitchen, which the poor servers have to go in and out of the doors to get the food and not a good set up.“
“Pier 281 is easily the BEST marina at the Jersey Shore! It has an awesome luxurious chill vibe. The location can’t be beat with the inlet nearby and the close proximity to Windward Beach with Brick Summerfest fireworks and the awesome pirate ship for added ambiance! The owners are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to keep the marina very well maintained. I personally love the fact that it is not HUGE, so you can get to know some people, but you can also have a lot of privacy to just relax and enjoy! It truly is the ideal marina and has allowed my family to create countless memories to last a lifetime! ??⛵️“
“Enjoyed an excellent meal last night with friends. Food was great, casual friendly atmosphere, service was excellent. Had the mussels, salads were great, seafood curry, blackened fish special, and short ribs to name a few. Then finished with daily bread pudding special and a tsunami for dessert! Will definitely return!“
“There is one word that you want to connect to seafood and that is “FRESH”. SLS gets it right! This is my regular go to for FRESH, deliciously prepared seafood. The addition of sushi only added to my addiction. The salads are made with fresh green lettuce, nothing packaged or brown, dressings are light and tasty add to that some fresh seafood, Yummo!You might want to try the following:Crab cakes - moist delicious, mostly crab, as it SHOULD be.Whole fried fish - So fresh, flash fried without being oily, moist, delicately seasoned, perfect.Bronzino - What can I say, my fav, perfect ?Pasta All - Al dente, great LIGHT delicious sauces.SLS is the definition of eating healthy and delicious at the same time. Those that appreciate quality of ingredients, simplicity of preparation, inclusive of great seasoning and delicious results are going to enjoy dinner at this great local gift of a restaurant In beautiful Spring Lake. Delicioso!“
“Service was EXCELLENT. Food was very good. Staff were very good about moving tables around as there was one pretty obnoxiously loud group of women that candidly were embarrassing and disturbing. The restaurant had to move everyone but them. ? Regardless, staff were kind, understanding and went all out for patrons. Their mocktails were awesome!“
“Found this local gem a few years back by accident while traveling for work and loved it. Well, back after a year and the place got a much deserved makeover inside and out - Food is still great - brought friends who enjoyed the onion soup and the chicken and fish française. Fish oreganata was also well prepared. Very large local bar crowd. Nick is still a wonderful host. Get there before 6 or the place fills up! Enjoy!“
“We rarely get a chance to have dinner out during the week, crazy schedules,etc. We decided to take a break and go after so many recommendations. Did not disappoint! Grilled Octopus, Surf and Turf, filet done perfectly, Scallops, grilled veggies, and amazing basket of pretzels with a delicious raspberry mustard dipping sauce. Service was spot on. Our waiter, Travis, was great. We will have to make this a once a month treat! Give it a try!Vegetarian options: Cauliflower..Asparagus, glazed baby carrots, salads , Salmon, Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops etc“
“Pictured is the flounder stuffed with crab meat. It tasted great, but the serving size is too small. The chocolate mousse was also good. I've had the salmon stuffed with crab meat previously, which I liked. I also like having the long grain rice as an option for a side. Our server was polite, but the music was a little too loud.“
“Shout out to management for being vigilant. To Victoria for supporting the bar by running out sides of ketchup to us while the bar was slammed. Dillon and Matt were super great. Wanna send them some special praise. Keep those 3 employees as long as possible.“
“Went with my husband today, he had the crab cake sandwich with house cut fries, both were delicious. I had the blackened shrimp poke bowl. First time I had a poke bowl and it will definitely will not be my last. I only gave the atmosphere a 4 star because it was super loud inside and I basically yelled the entire time to talk. We had Victoria as our server and she was an excellent one at that. Prompt and extremely pleasant. We will go back again to try something else and hopefully have her again as our server.“
“I am updating my latest review. We have since been to The Windward twice and both times have been markedly improved since over the summertime. Both times we were seated within a reasonable time. Waitress came to the table within a few minutes and was both attentive and treated us like family instead of aged customers.Drinks ordered and served immediately. Dinner ordered and served quickly. We both ordered hot open sandwiches which were served within 10-15 minutes. They were very tasty and we enjoyed every bite.“
“First visit to the Spanish potato, food was excellent, the service was great we had John! Highly recommend for a great meal and good time!! Sangria was wonderful!!Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right in front to get in“
“The best pizzeria in Brick to grab a slice or sit down for a fire dinner. The pepperoni and sausage was exactly what a meat lovers pie should be. Also, the owner made my pie and was very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. Love when the guy making the dough is the guy making the dough ?“
“We absolutely love John & Elaine’s restaurant as do our children. It’s nice to see a multi-generational family owned and operated restaurant. The team is wonderful and very accommodating with food allergies. We highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Our son (age 4) has severe food allergies. Laura and the team were great!“
“Parking was easy and free so that saved us a lot of money compared to Seaside or Point Pleasant. The food came fast as you would expect from a take out place. We had planned grab and go, but then we saw the picnic tables so we sat and enjoyed our meal. We tipped the college kids behind the counter who cleaned up after us. The food was great! One of my boys used the potato slicer for his French Fries and we all got a photo with the legendary founder, Crabby Rick, who served our country. Maybe one day he'll be as famous as Colonel Sanders of KFC so I'll keep that picture.“
“I am so happy to have found such a great place to grab lunch at! They offer so many gluten free options and also understand allergies which is amazing! I work in the area and I was so hungry and wanted something easy. So I went in and got a Greek hummus wrap on GF wrap. It was amazing! I also learned they do catering and all gluten free as well. I can’t wait to go back! The wrap I had was super delicious and fresh. I can’t wait to try more food from here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and vegan“
