50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Neptune City

“My mother, my daughter and myself recently ate here and it was AMAZING. The food, the service was just AMAZING. We will be returning for sure.“

“I had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant last week, food was amazing and the ambiance was great, staff was attentive to us. Bonus this business has a full line liquor store inside the restaurant and bar.“

“First, this is my go to happy spot, been coming twice a year for the past 10 years, celebrated birthdays, Mother's day, and just to escape the LA blues and recharge at beach. This is the first I felt unseen, I had to ask who my server was after 15 minutes while others in the same area got immediate attention. In the end we got a server, who was handling the outside table, the place with busy it was the end of brunch. Because we had the outdoor tables we were not checked in on, not sure why he didn't engage the other host. Apparently the confusion was that we had cocktails, as we had moved from the bar once our table was ready. I often arrive a little early to relax from the drive, grab a drink and then move to the table, and usually servers are territorial. Anyway aside from the valet and the food runners which were abundant, the servers had drama. In the end, I spoke with the manager as they came by to ask how everything was, but that it. I left a 20% tip on a $136.00 lunch for 2, will come again, and hope for better service.“

“I've traveled the north east. As an avid lobster roll guy, this joint wont disapoint. The people working will remember you if you frequent. I prefer a warm roll with butter but the cold roll also stands its own groud here. A very military friendly establishment, for those who know. Take care of them and they will take care of you.“

“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!“

“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!“
