We had a wonderful dinner at Dune in Ortley Beach. It is so great to have an upscale Italian restaurant at the shore that stays open during the off-season and is BYOB—it makes for such a relaxed, enjoyable evening. The staff was very attentive throughout our meal. The tableside presentation of the chicken parm is wonderful and really adds a special touch to the dining experience. You can tell they put care into the details here. I highly recommend starting with the caviar—it's...read full review
I wanted so bad to give this 5 stars but the food just wasn’t there for the price. The server Brandon was amazing and honestly my wife and I would go back just to have that kind of service. With the food, my wife had shrimp cocktail and it was just okay. The cocktail sauce was different and for 20$ not worth it. Her bucatini was very good though! The chicken parm dish which I feel like is the reason everyone goes there was just fine. The chicken cutlets were cooked well but...read full review
Unfortunately not worth it for the money. Dinner for 4 was over $300 and food was just ok. Ordered the chicken parm and the filet mignon - sauce on the chicken was kind of bland. Steak was overcooked on the outside and not juicy for $64. The broccolini side was overly salty.
Inside vibe is cute, but food didn’t live up to our expectations or hopes for this spot.

Dune Restaurant in Ortley Beach is an upscale Italian restaurant at the shore that stays open during the off-season and is BYOB, making for a relaxed, enjoyable evening. The staff is very attentive, and the tableside presentation of the chicken parm adds a special touch. Guests recommend starting with the caviar, served with salt & vinegar chips, which turns out to be a surprising layer of flavor that really works. The bucatini is very good, and the oysters and mozzarella are delicious. The salmon dish, the pork chop dish, the chicken parmesan and pasta are all delicious. However, some reviewers found the food just ok for the price. The shrimp cocktail was just okay, and the cocktail sauce was different. The chicken cutlets were cooked well but the sauce tasted store bought, and the sauce on the chicken was kind of bland. The filet mignon was overcooked on the outside and not juicy, and the broccolini side was overly salty. The polpeta was dry and cold, and the tangy tomato sauce was overly thick from too much tomato paste. The space is much improved, especially the AC and the ambiance, and the music and vibe were great. The presentation was good. A year round restaurant like this is what we all need.
