Restaurants near Normandy Beach

“We went to dinner last night at this restaurant. There wasn’t any course that we did not thoroughly enjoy. Very unique dishes that match each other really really well. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Great food, a little pricey as dinner for 2 with a 20% tip came in just under $200 (and we brought our own wine). I had the lobster bisque and the crab cakes entree (more crab than the usual fillers you get). Wife went for the duck confit ravioli appetizer and the lollipop pork chops entree. Nice romantic atmosphere is an upgrade over the old basic Reddington's decor that was there a decade ago.”

“Phenomenal rustic Italian restaurant. The food is top tier along with the service and the cocktails are delicious. If you don’t get the espresso martini you’re missing out! This is the top 3 most elegant, pleasant, and enjoyable restaurants on the Jersey shore.”

“Words can't describe how good this place is. I drive 1.5 hours just to eat here. I've been to hundreds of restaurants, and Spanos is the only one I have ever been to that consistently provides the best hospitality. Chef Joe Spanos greets every table with a warm smile and some house appetizers. The food is out of this world... can't wait to come back again this summer!”

“It doesn't accept reservations, serves vegetarian dishes, and has kids' menu. So, I'm so very happy about it because they have all of the healthier choices at my dream man's restaurant to help my lower cholesterol levels. However, I would love to eat there one day so I can meet my dream man himself, Bon Jovi.”

“We're new to the area and heard Espo's was a good place to try. We were not disappointed! We noticed an item was missing from our order. When I called to let them know, I didn't even get a chance to say hello. They said "we know we forgot an item and we're making you a fresh batch and on our way" They even threw in a dessert! BTW, the food was great and the cannloli was even better...”

I live 50 minutes way from here, but I came two more times in December to have their tacos de tripa. It’s worth the drive. I will be a returning customer for sure.

Definitivamente volveré aquí por mis tacos.”

“I recently visited Margos International Cuisine and had an amazing time! The staff was super friendly and spoke both Spanish and English fluently, which made things easy. They even gave us complimentary chips and salsa when we arrived, and let me tell you, the salsa was incredibly tasty – you could definitely tell it was homemade.I ordered the Bandeja Montañero, and it was fantastic! The salad was delicious, and everything else on the plate was just as good. My boyfriend ordered a steak cooked medium rare, but it came out well done. However, he didn't mind it too much because it was still tasty.One thing I loved was that they offer pitchers of drinks, which is so convenient and very inexpensive. It's a great option to have alongside the delicious food.The atmosphere was really nice – not too loud, with pleasant Spanish music playing in the background. It's a clean and cozy place, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Margos International Cuisine to others. Can't wait for my next visit! ?Parking: Lots of free parking place inside the plaza next to the Dollar Tree!Kid-friendliness: High-chairs available!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or any big bumps - flat surface for wheelchair accessibility.”

Portnoy would rate them 8.9 in my opinion!!! Yeah THAAAT GOOD.”

“I’ve been going here for about 7 years. The owner is so kind to EVERYONE, staff always provides amazing service and the FOOD is so delicious. Prices are so reasonable as well. That right there is why I will forever get my pizza here. Thank you all for being so attentive, quick and kind”

They’re great to bring to someone’s home and perfect to serve at your own home. The shop is so cute. I will definitely be back!”

The line to order was out the door before the season even started but I will be back again and again. Wonderful spot. I even bought some fresh roasted coffee for making espresso at home.”
