The food was absolutely outstanding. Every bit of seafood tasted exceptionally fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor.

Pair that with their great craft cocktails, and you have the perfect recipe for an amazing meal.

That said we knew it was going to be a good evening before even trying our food! Then we had the tuna pizza and ceviche PHENOMENAL! We asked if we could have chips with the ceviche and at first they were unsure but they made it happen and it was so good!

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

“Food was great this is the third time we've eaten here. I had a clam chowder. Food is definitely good. Service was very good and decent parking lot. They even have fresh fish if you're looking for something to take home and cook. I recommend checking this place out. In the warmer weather you can even eat outside“

“Everything was amazing Great place for seafood“

“Had a delightful experience at Brielle House Bar & Grill. Very impressed with the menu and execution of all the dishes that we ordered. We were lucky to score an oversized booth, which was cozy. Nice pour on the wine. The place is spotless, elevated, but not at all stuffy. Staff made us feel so welcome. I am truly confused about the motive of a prior review I read on here. It cannot be the same place that we just enjoyed so much.“

“We went to see our friend Tommy Gannon play with his band. It was our first time there and we loved it. The food was great and reasonably priced. Will definitely go back.“

“Our favorite place to meet and have a great shore dinner! Food is terrific and the warm staff are all welcoming and very friendly!“
