“No complaints about the food ever but Oscar needs to have a lesson on etiquette and customer service, otherwise he’s in the wrong damn business. He’s very disrespectful. That’s it. Multiple people I know say the same exact thing and because of that they won’t go back.“

“We were celebrating my birthday. We shared potatoe bites with trout roe appetizer and the caesar salad. Both were excellent and the salad was large! My husband had the tuna over mushroom risotto with chimichurri sauce. It was perfectly cooked, large portion and oh so good! I had the pan seared halibut accompanied by sweet chili sauce but it didn't need it. Again, a large portion and cooked perfectly, incredibly delicious, served over gouda cauliflower that was the best thing I ever ate!! We shared the creme brulee which was superb. The service was excellent, attentive, informative and friendly! Can't wait to return even though it's 1 and 1/2 hours away.“

“My boyfriend and I very much enjoyed our dinner here. The service was amazing - everyone was very attentive- and the food was delicious. I had been looking for good Paella locally and this is the closest I have come to finding what I consider to be the perfect Paella. Also, the shrimp in garlic sauce was incredible - great flavor and texture and a large portion that even the two of us couldn't finish.“

“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.“

“We had a truly wonderful experience here. The staff at the host stand were so friendly and engaging. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server, Julianna, who was an absolute rock star. The place is so warm and inviting with the giant fireplace and decor. The atmosphere is great here. All that and then the food being so delicious and the service being so stellar makes for a great night out. Do yourselves a favor and make a reservation here ASAP!“

“We had wanted to try Saffron for a while and when we saw they were participating in restaurant week we went. It did not disappoint. Service was excellent and the food outstanding. We had the crispy cauliflower and lamb tart to start. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and the cauliflower was definitely crispy. The saffron butter chicken and the prawns narkel were our entree. Prawns were large and cooked to perfection and the chicken was moist and juicy Both sauces were so well spiced. We will definitely return.“

“Go Back In Time… (and I mean waaaay back) when every single bite of food, explodes with natural flavor, not spices but the genuine homemade tastes like Nonna made!Even the atmosphere brought me back decades; we walked in and were greeted by the owner with such warmth. I instantly felt like I knew him (though to be clear, I don’t). And I hope you can understand it) this is his kitchen, that he opens up to you, with love. The place- is like his home, like a big dining room. You’ll instantly feel at home, like family.He makes everything EVERYTHING from scratch and you can taste it!I had The BEST Pizza of my life! AndI had stuffed rigatoni in vodka sauce , my eyes rolled back in my head! There was so much but it was outta this world!You gotta go!Vegetarian options: There’s tons to choose from. They’ll make what you wantKid-friendliness: It’s very family friendly“

“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!“

“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.“
“Fresh, delicious seafood for a fair price. Friendly service and good recommendations. A hidden gem amongst the locals. $54 got us 6 long neck clams, 6 coconut fried shrimp, large crab cake, cup of New England clam chowder, side of coleslaw and lobster roll. My only critique is the red pepper in the lobster roll was a little forward. Clams were very fresh and crab cake was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend.“

“Had a great second visit to Sea Grass! As mentioned in other reviews this restaurant is BYOB, so we started with our wine (which they nicely brought an ice bucket for) and the oyster special. My boyfriend really appreciated how the oysters weren't overly salty and the pear glaze added a good flavor. Since we had such a large appetizer, we decided to split the halibut for our entree. We were pleasantly surprised when our waitress brought out two plates, pre-split for us. The halibut had a nice herb crust and was served over lobster risotto (and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster!!). Overall, lovely dining experience!“

“Made a reservation at spring lake seafood for date night. It has a cute nautical vibe. I could see them being insanely busy during the summer. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. We got the tuna pizza - amazing. The sushi was so fresh. I also ordered the ricotta cavatelli - perfectly spicy. Ugh so good. If you're craving seafood, this is a definite place to try.“

“Though no one was answering the phone there to see if it was open, we ventured on a Wednesday night around 630 before a show at the Count Basie. Walked in and a less than handful of folks at the small bar. No one at the tables. I had to trust the Yelp reviews. Two people seemed to be working, and I believe one was manager and chef. Menu was nice and service was attentive and friendly. The guac was very generous and very good. The entrees had a lot going on on the plate. Fish, rice, corn, salad, veggies, Brussel sprouts, asparagus. A very large serving plate. Could tell care went into the food presentation. Will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem that deserves a spotlight.“
“We've been members for 3 years and have made so many wonderful lifetime memories entertaining friends and family on the water in NJ and out of state. The boats are always pristine and ready to go. I love the recent updates made to the restrooms/shower/deck, but the genuine warmth and professionalism from Patrick and his entire staff are what truly make Carefree special.“

“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.“

“Amelia's is a beautiful restaurant with amazing ambience. We sat on the sun porch. The nice white table cloths and table settings were soothing. The food was wonderful. I had Shrimp Oreganata and my wife had Barelli's Chicken. Both were delicious. The wine selection was adequate but I thought a bit pricey for most folks. Overall we enjoyed our time there.“

The food is made to order and the quantities are very generous! If you want food made fresh with pure caribbean style & flavor, head to Norah's, you won't be disappointed!“

“Very tasty burgers. Hard to categorize - they're either little burgers or fat sliders lol. Came 2 to an order on mini buns. Very juicy and cooked to order.Fries were ok, but cheese sauce felt cloying in my mouth. Buffalo tenders were run of the mill frozen tenders with jar sauce. *Shrug*.Small eating area in store - don't assume you'll be able to get a seat.My recommendation would be to stick to the juicy burgers medium rare and simple fries. Good late night bites!“

“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“

“Such a nice place! Came for late-night dinner, food was very good as was the service! Friendly, attentive. The serving size was plenty enough, although I could've eaten more it was that good! Chicken Alfredo very good, as was yhe chicken parm!! Bring your own wine seemed to be the trend, older crowd 50+ at the time, large groups having a wonderful time meant this was a friendly & classy place for the experienced patron!“

“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!“

“Good food, good service, even in the off season. I come here as often as I can with a friend of mine who lives in the area. It's become something of a tradition. The crab dip to start with is phenomenal, and it is also a fish market in the back. If buying and cooking fish isn't your thing, then the BYOB restaurant might be more of your thing. I love that the shore has places like this. We started off with the buffalo shrimp, the seafood risotto special, and the fried calamari. When a place also serves the tentacles is a good sign. Entrees were the surf and turf and the Alaskan King Crab dinner. I also recommend the clam pot dinner. Mangia! Buy some extra crab dip in the back on your way out. If you come during the summer season expect a wait, but it is worth it.“

“Barnacle Bill’s is an absolute staple of the Rumson area and is a must visit. It’s a bar/tavern/grog shop that is somewhat trapped in time but in the absolute best way. It’s dark, loud and crowded but it just feels perfect. Burgers are charbroiled and the steak fries are great. Service is surprisingly good and the people watching is even better. I’m really happy places like this still exist.“

“Beautiful outdoor dining. We went at around 7 so it was perfect timing and weather for sunset during dinner. For drinks I got an espresso martini with baileys and it was great! Missing my 3 espresso beans for good luck but it's okay! lol. Appetizers I think we got boom boom shrimp it was good but it had like a plantain/banana taste to it. For entrees I split with my friend and we did the Lobster Fra Diavolo which was a special and a bee sting pie. Holy moly both were so good!!! Our server was so nice I wish I remembered his name. We got a little sauce on our shirt and he brought us wipes and club soda. I definitely recommend EvenTide if you're in the area!!“

“Walked in 5 mins. Before closing and could have been easily sent away. Kim and Silvia insisted I was welcome and made the most delicious lobster roll ever! Fresh, flavorful and filling!! Definitely recommend! Thanks again for a memorable dinner!!“
“Had the peperoni Scillian style pie with the everything seasoning on the crust. It was kinda room temp, rather than hot, but tasted really good - especially to a bunch of semi-drunk guys. Would like to try again when sober and pizza is hot.“
