I just had my daughter’s baptism lunch at Fresh and along with every single guest we had I could not be more happy with the food, service,hospitality and accommodations! The food was delicious! So fresh and made with passion. The chef knows what he’s doing. The 2 men that hosted for us were beyond professional, patient and friendly to us and our guests. Every step of the way from planning to finish they were amazing! After we got home I had so many people reaching out to me about how good this place is and how they will definitely be returning for dinner in the near future. Thank you all so much for helping make this day stress free and most importantly SPECIAL!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

She checked in on us many times, and was so nice to chat with. She clearly loves her job, and you can't help but smile when talking to her. All the food was delicious, and they got every order perfect. We had the best time at this BWW and will definitely be back to visit Rosa!“

“Great hotdogs in Keansburg at the boardwalk. Nothing fancy just cold beer great dogs and crinkle cut fries. A summertime favorite.“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“Excellent service. Friendly atmosphere“

“Go there every time we are at sandy hook great food snd service“

“Stayed overnight for a one day work trip. After a 51/2 hour drive the last thing I wanted to do was drive anywhere for dinner ( didn’t want food in take out containers either) sat at the bar, had a Caesar salad and pasta primavera, added salmon.
The salmon was perfectly cooked as ordered ( medium rare) and it was excellent! A bit pricey, but excellent food and service!“

“Most amazing views you could ask for on the water. \nWatch the boats come in and the ferry go out. \n\nThe sangria comes by the picture and is exceptionally good. \nThe service was very good and bar scene was vibrant. \nThe food is very good too. \nYou go here for the view and get good eats to top it off!“

“my husband and I have been coming to mjs for years whether it's for a lunch date or dinner with our kids MJS never disappoints. the food is always on point, no matter what we get it is always delicious. a few top favorites chicken Italiano sandwich, their homemade thousand island dressing for salads is out of this world, french dip is the best i've ever had. ahi tuna app to dye for! if ur lucky enough to get Emma as your server or Bartender you will not be disappointed she is always so personable attentive knows the menu really well and makes a mean expresso martini! she treats our kids like gold and keeps them entertained. Mjs is a well oiled machine run by the best manager I've ever seen. Dyan's attention to detail and making the place feel so welcoming and having everything that comes out of the kitchen on point she makes sure the servers and bartenders are very well trained. if she's there working she is always there greeting the guests and helping the staff make sure every guest has an amazing experience.She will also help you throw a sweet party and works with you to keep the price within your budget while giving you the best bang for your buck. she does an amazing job transforming the dining area into a great party space. I've had my son's christening, baby shower, birthday parties here in the dining room each time Dyan has gone above and beyond making sure everything was perfect. whether you are considering having a party or going to dinner or lunch do not pass MJS in Middletown up you will not regret it. & if you want a fun night out- Monday night bingo is always a hit or looking for something to do during NFL Sunday game day head to mjs it is an amazing atmosphere and great specials!“

“We love MJs so sad our Tinton Fall closed but Mary and I (Resurfaced) played an awesome show at the great Neptune location to a packed crowd. Bar was wrap around big!!! Bartender and wait staff were awesome, we will be there again soon. The salmon was best I had in a long time, an amazing smoked crust broccoli and mash wow loved it. Can’t wait to go again soon.“

“We love the Oyster Point Hotel! The bartenders and servers are awesome.. couldn’t be nicer!! But… we miss the wasabi snacks!“

“The gluten free empanadas were the best ever!“

“Awesome Smash Burgers! Was super surprised on how good they were. Will definitely be going back for more.“
