Once you walk inside, you're impressed with the light colors and great windows/lighting. A very comfortable atmosphere with additional seating on two other levels...great layout. Now...it's 3:30pm and the place is empty, but the girl seating us asked for a reservation (huh?!?). Someone else walked up and just sat us thankfully. We asked the waitress if the goat cheese and strawberry salad could be split (for $17, it better be). She said absolutely...but it's not. Surprisingly little salad for that price. The Buffalo Cauliflower was very good to be fair. I ordered an Ahi Tuna Burger...no flavor. I asked for tartar sauce, but the waiter didn't know if they had it, and never came back. My girlfriend got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap; way too much blue cheese dressing. My Ahi burger with a small order of McDonalds-type fries was $26...way overpriced to the point of insulting. I guess Red Bank feels they can charge these kinds of prices, but at least give me decent food...I'll never go back.

Disappointed that the website says happy hour on Saturday but bartender said they don't have it on Saturday

This was our first time at this restaurant. (Party of 4) We were ALL very disappointed with the quality and portion sizes of the food. We ordered a handful of starters/appetizers. To start we ordered the clams oreganata which had no flavor, dry and fishy. The tuna sashimi ,buffalo cauliflower, fried calamari were ok. Nothing to brag about. The West coast oysters were definitely the only app that were great!! For our dinners we ordered a wedge salad that was very small and not served as described on the menu. Very disappointing. Now for the other 3 dinners we all ordered the hot Lobster Roll. What an extreme disappointment. The butter sauce had no flavor and the portion size was a disgrace for the price ($29)ea. There was more roll/bread than actual lobster. I recommend that If you are going to serve that size portion of lobster meat you need a smaller roll or more meat. It was ALL bread. Additionally, definitely not with the $$$. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Sorry for being honest.

Had lunch there recently. Did not enjoy at all. Food wasn't good. I had chicken Caesar sandwich which was not good. Too much Caesar dressing. My friend had avocado toast that was more toast than avocado. I don't think they should be open for lunch. We were the only ones there for a while until another couple arrived Doesn't seem to be a popular spot. The service staff was very nice

Was there with friends. They loved their meal. My salmon was a little dry. The brussel sprouts were delicious. I think I would be happier there to sit at the bar and have appetizers and a drink.

Brunch: 5Dinner: 4Takeout: 3Me and my wife love 26 on the Navesink for brunch. Great food and atmosphere. Their home fries are insane. Great lobster rolls. And love the fried chicken and waffles . Can’t really go wrong with any brunch food.Dinner is good but does not impress as much as their brunch. And it’s hard for me to recommend them for takeout. Portions are sometimes small and disproportionate. We ordered a crispy goat cheese salad that was tiny and came with 1 really small medallion of goat cheese that was 2 bites.

It's a real nice setting and the food tastes great. Tom, our server, was very effective. he just mentioned that there's a new chef, Dominic. And I feel that the entrées are about the size of appetizers they seem somewhat small, considering the price. It's a great place to impress someone. The average bill for two would be about $150. We were told the menu was just changed. Parking can be a problem especially if you have a reservation and you're cutting it close. Allow time.

Food was not as expected. The hot lobster comes in hotdogs bun. My friend food was not made as requested. Potatoes were not presetable, I ordered a drink, and they took 15 minutes to bring it.

Waiter was slow, sent back our drinks, was reserved and still didn't like them, Our side dish was never served and had to remind waiter and tuna steak was overcooked...worst part was restaurant was half empty on a Saturday night so service, kitchen and bartender should have been more attentive....i won't go
Beautiful ambiance, great service, and delicious food.

Everything was wonderful. Food is delicious, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff is the top notch. My only complaint is that the portions aren't as generous as I would like.

We went to the Santa Brunch this past Sunday and it was fantastic! The restaurant was decorated beautifully, the food and drinks were amazing, the staff was helpful, inviting, kind, and attentive, and the brunch was above and beyond for the kids! Santa was awesome, they had crafts and activities for the kids, special gifts, and Santa's helper made balloon hats, along with a photographer! The price for all this was incredible, very affordable! Our hostess was Elaina, our server was Fernanda, as well as more staff members named, Jenny and Makayla. They all helped to make our brunch a wonderful dining experience! We had a fantastic time!
