“Undici Taverna rustica is literally AMAZING. It expresses the passion and the food&wine knowledge of Vic. it has been unbelievable have a dinner there, 16 hrs of flying to enjoy one of the best pizza I have ever had, even better than a lot of pizza in Italy.”

“Went to Salt Creek for early New Year's eve Has a wonderful time prime rib was delicious. Mark was very welcoming just a great evening”

“Delicious Bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll!”

“We were absolutely thrilled with our custom star cake pops! Not only were they perfectly crafted to match our theme, but they were also incredibly delicious—moist, flavorful, and a true hit with everyone. The attention to detail in the design was exceptional, with each cake pop looking like a tiny work of art.

Equally impressive was the professionalism throughout the process—everything was completed on time, exactly as promised, making our experience seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend these cake pops for any special occasion and will definitely be ordering again!”

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!”

“My husband recently hosted a bunch of old college buddies and their wives for our wedding! Since about 25 of them were visiting the Shore area for the first time, he wanted to make sure they experienced all the sights and sounds Monmouth County has to offer. Normally, finding something fun (and legal) for a large group of out-of-towners to do after midnight is a challenge—but not in Rumson! He took the whole crew to Murphy’s Tavern with the promise that they’d get a taste of a local legend: a good old-fashioned speakeasy tucked away in the basement of a house, right in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they had a blast! Whether you’re kicking off a weekend wedding celebration or just grabbing a late-night drink, we highly recommend popping into Murphy’s Tavern.”

“Stopped at Val's Tavern because we had a 2 hour gap between a wedding and reception. Service was excellent and so was the food. Our server, Gabby, went above and beyond when we needed some Tylenol. HIGHLY recommend Val's!”

“Amazing local deli with a great menu selection including pizza. The garlic knots are incredible”

“Came here twice so far both times was amazing. Service was great food was great. Nice atmosphere decor is great it’s a great hidden gem.”

“This is a small restaurant with the most incredibly fresh, homemade Italian food in Monmouth County and it’s BYOB! I have been several times and never disappointed everything has always been so delicious but it is hard to get a reservation sometimes!”

“Great coffee and bakery. But! You guys need to think about the environment!!! You produce an incredible amount of garbage. I stopped by to get coffee and some cake, sat and enjoyed it. Why do I need a whole box and a paper bag for the cake? Okay. I admit that you thought I would take it with me, and that's why you packed it like that, but no, you pack everything. I drank my coffee, ate my cake, and went to the trash can to throw out the packaging filled with this packaging. Why do you produce such an amount of garbage? Could you give me a plate, and that will be enough? Ultimately, all this packaging is included in my coffee and cake cost. But why pay for it if it will all be in the trash can in a minute? Everything you do is five stars, but I am depriving you of one for this garbage conveyor. Please change your approach and your attitude to the environment🙏🏻”

“My wife and I had the Six Course Prefix Meal. Everything was delicious. The service was great. Special Thanks for Tim for everything that he did.”

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!”

“Super delicious Italian cuisine, excellent dessert menu, super ambiance, free parking and to top it all off; you can stroll the boardwalk to enjoy the cool sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.”

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!”

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵”

“The best vegan, gluten free ice cream and baked goods in NJ! It’s a safe space for a child or person with allergies to sit and eat a delicious treat. Every one will enjoy the ice cream!!! The owners are always friendly and welcoming.”

“Overall, great ice cream. One of us had a brown sugar dough flavor that was great. The other had Peanut Butter Palooza (sp) mixed with plain chocolate. The plain chocolate was bland and not very chocolatey. Service at Tinton Falls was quick and friendly.”

“What an absolute delight and surprise! Chef Salil personally brought the day's special dish for us to try. Remarkable and memorable. Explained the menu to perfection. The food so fresh and made daily in their kitchen. We will be going back often.”

“Such a fantastic experience at No Limits Cafe today. My daughter and I had the best burgers today with delicious tater tots, not to mention fantastic service! We were lucky to have Claire helping us today. She was really awesome. She was pleasant, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Claire and No Limits Cafe for a truly wonderful girls lunch today. As the mom of a special needs person, the work that NLC does makes me feel a bit choked up every time I go. I see the wonderful things the staff are doing and it brings me hope that kids like mine will be fortunate to have opportunities to work at places so full of support and visited by so many people like my family who are fans in the stands supporting the great things happening. Keep on doing the work you do supporting people of all abilities. We need more of this!”

“Great food comida con mucho sabor 🥘”

“Best wings and chicken tenders I’ve ever had. All the sauces are incredible - my kids love their BBQ and the honey sriracha. Nicest and best family-owned business. No other place compares in NJ or the surrounding area.”

“The best authentic food out there! Love every single meal I’ve had so far! Fresh, homemade and tasteful!”

“I was here when they first opened. it was not really "for me". Recently tried it again and loved it. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan. we found options. Really enjoyed the eggplant sandwich. Would love more options (saw on one of the burger challenges a portobello on a burger, so loose the beef and just do the portobello) then I would definitely be there more often. Plan to check out the events that they have in the winter. So nice to have a quality and nice place locally to go out to at night.”

“Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Our waitress Staci was great! We will be back.”

“Great food! Lunch portion had me stuffed! I'll be back again!”

“My husband and I had breakfast here yesterday. It was our first time at Rise n Shine and we loved it!!! Great food and service. Our new favorite restaurant.”
