Bistros near Red Bank

“Nice experience good food“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“Amazing food that is always fresh. The team at Tavolo Pronto is top notch!“

“After reading the reviews, I was worried about staying here, but there was really no other alternative. Even though the price for this place is expensive, we booked it. I'm glad we did. I gave it 4 out of 5, because it's overpriced for what it gives. It's not like it's a beachfront or even near the beach hotel; it's in an ugly corporate park off a noisy highway near the 33/34 circle. At the time we went, the lobby and half the hotel were under remediation and being renovated. They did offer free coffee in the mornings, but any breakfast had to be gotten somewhere else. My allergies were not reacting to anything in the lobby area, nor did I detect anything. However, someone sensitive to dust or other construction byproducts might have a different experience. We had room 306, which I found to be quite good, even though it's a connecting room. The courtyard view is all right but nothing special. It was slightly perfumed-smelling, but did not set off my allergies. I was pleased that the mattresses had 6-sided encasements. They were also pillowtop and comfortable. My requests for a feather-free room had been done, as was my request for an extra sheet. The room passed my Swiffer test and was mostly clean, with the exception of a previous customer's McDonald's trash under one of the beds. The bathroom was clean and functional and the shower had decent water pressure. There was enough hot water for me to take a bath, although the tub is small. The AC in the room worked well and the blackout curtains closed completely. The fridge kept our drinks cold. I did not use the microwave, but I did use the little one-cup coffee maker to make hot water. The room and the hotel were fairly quiet the weekend we went. The staff were cordial and helpful. I think once the renovations are complete and their Bistro is back, this will be a very nice, if overpriced, hotel. I didn't bother with photos, since the ones on TripAdvisor are accurate, with the exception of the indoor pool. If this hotel has a pool, I never found it.“
