“Our server Andrea was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she efficient, she was very pleasant, personable, and kind. Watching her work was like watching a cross between Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and Tom Brady at the peak of their careers. Amongst the chaos of a weekend dinner shift, she was a sea of calm and a breath of fresh air. If there were a server hall of fame, she would be our nomination. We will be returning for this exceptional experience again and again. Thank you Andrea!“

“I know Italian food. I asked AI what was the highest rated Italian restaurant in Long Branch. It gave me Rockafellers.
I knew the moment I tasted the sauce that came with the delicious Calzone that everything was going to be great. It was fresh and delicious.
The pizza was a home run. If I had to guess the pasta is going to be great too.
We'll find out later tonight!
Thank you!
Everything was great from the delivery to the food!“

“Try the seafood chowder!! It’s the best secret on the shore.“

“Great food and nice place to be“

“Xina is definitely recommended. The evening we visited we had dinner and the food was excellent. The dining room is smallish but quiet for a busy bustling room service was excellent the evening we went. The waitress couldn't have been any nicer and was quite knowledgeable about the menu. We sat at the sushi bar. I had a wonton soup that was a special and it was definitely the best wonton soup I've ever had in my life. We didn't have any of the sushi this time, but next time I will definitely try it. The kitchen looked super clean and organized from my point of view. The only thing that was not five stars was the lack of parking.“

“Always friendly staff. Bartenders are always so nice. Love the happy hour specials.“

“Family friendly next to open water. All new bulkhead and the owners are great.“

“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!“

“Picked up 4 lobster rolls this afternoon. Incredible! Corn salad was equally amazing.😗“

“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.“

“Went there with a party of 11. Everyone ordered something different and everyone's meal was excellent. And, the staff was extremely friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Wonderful experience.“

“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“

“Went to Jack's to see CatNip Live Music who were incredible! The food and staff were great. Great live music venue with a cool vibe!“
