    I couldn't stop raving about 618 Yelp Elite event! My daughter indicated she would consider 618 for her Bridal Shower! I reach out to VP Eddie to ask about event option at 618. Made dinner reservations for our Friday date night! Another exceptional dinning experience! Our Server Will was outstanding- thank you! Manager Brandon checked on us! Appreciate it! Met Jared Event Manager who provided a folder complete with the their event options! For my daughter's bridal shower. Grateful! Check out my dessert presentation! Amazing!! Loved the new cocktail COCONUT MARGARITA Mala Vida Blanco Tequila! Cheers! Highest compliments to the Chef Every entree was superb! New plating and utensils with each course! Table wipes cleaned! As we were leaving, every staff member greeted good night! See you soon! Best ambiance! Hospitality mastered to perfection! See you soon!

    A special message only a few would know by who.

    This place will surprise you! Never judge a book by its cover- this would be one. Very clean and very private, tho you're sharing the space with others you could hear each other. Music was great as the DJ sits in a low table and you would never know it. Service was great fun and very attentive to all our needs. Recommend for other celebrations and wedding too.

    I've dined here several times with friends, we hosted my mother in law's 70th birthday in a private room & most recently, I attended a Yelp event here. Every single time it's been awesome. The vibe here is unmatched and the food is just amazing. I love the dim lights and the decor throughout. Their attention to detail is obvious, the love they put into their food is obvious & their happy staff obviously love people and love working here, even the valet guys were nice. 618, I will be back soon.

    Service was great! Wait staff was very attentive. Food was good. We had the grannies meatballs for appetizers. They were good. I had the Cabernet braised beef short ribs and my husband had the short rib ravioli. Both were good and tasty but the ravioli portion could have been bigger. For dessert we both had what they called "gelato", while the taste was good, it was far from gelato, it was ice cream. All in all the food was good, service was great the atmosphere was elegant but very loud. It is definitely a drop off from their other restaurant Mezcal! That by far was in a class by itself.

    The drinks are amazing! The food, absolutely delicious. And what a great atmosphere! We went for a ladies night out and they surprised us at the end with an ice cream cupcake. This place is outstanding but pricey!

    For us, 618 is an "occasion restaurant". So that's where my wife and I went for my birthday. We had a 5:00 reservation on a Friday night and were sat immediately. From the cocktail menu, we got a Lychee Martini and Berry White Margarita. So good and refreshing. Entrees were Shirt Steak with shrimp and Cabernet Braised Short Rib. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. I've never had a chimichurri sauce with steak before, but it was a great pairing. My wife commented the green beans with short ribs were "like crack", couldn't stop eating them . For dessert, we shared the Warm Sticky Toffee Cake, and it was delicious! Our server was Austin, who was amazing! Great personality and knew the menu inside and out! We've been to 618 before, and know they are really sweet if you are celebrating by providing a dessert on the house with a sparkler. But I said no to the question if we're celebrating tonight not wanting the attention. Austin surprised us with an ice cream sandwich from Jersey Freeze to take home with us. So, that was an unexpected bonus to an overall great night!

    Amazing experience every time we come! I want to start off by saying it truly is an experience when coming from the decor to the service and of course with the food and drinks. We tried a few mocktails which were presented to us like a show! Short rib ravioli and Mac and cheese appetizers never disappoint and pork belly appetizer was next level! Decor here is gorgeous and Mike was amazing. Thank you for making each special occasion we celebrate here so awesome!

    WOW - blown away by this establishment. One of the best meals I've ever had. If I could give them ten stars I would! From the moment we walked in for our reservation, they were kind, attentive and informative. Everyone at my table ordered a drink. They came with a fun display! We opted to order the prefixed course and all four people had the 618 experience. Started with granny's meatballs, short rib ravioli, and crab cakes. Then we had burrata, fried lobster, salad, scallops. Main course was steak, pasta, more lobster price, potatoes and carrots. We were skeptical that family style would fill us all, but it did! Ended with three desserts. Everything was phenomenal - full of flavor! They even places a nice candle in the dessert for my husband's birthday. Can't wait to return back!

I will definitely be back.

    Finally had dinner at 618, and the food was fantastic! I've known about 618 since I looked into them a couple of years ago as a potential wedding venue. We arrived on Saturday for an early dinner at 5:15 pm, and the restaurant and bar were already super lively. Thankfully, they offer complimentary valet parking, which is helpful since the parking lot isn't huge--especially if there's a wedding taking place in their upstairs hall space. The restaurant is very pretty and romantic inside, with rustic brick, large chandeliers, and decorative florals throughout. It would be a great date spot. We had a large booth table tucked away in a back corner, as we were a party of seven. The table was very spacious and had a lazy Susan in the center, which made sharing appetizers easy! We ordered several appetizers to start--meatballs, short rib ravioli, BBQ shrimp with grits, crab cakes, and the spuds. Everything was delicious; my favorites were the meatballs and the shrimp. For my main course, I had the pork chop, and my husband had the short rib. We both loved our entrées. The pork chop was a large portion, so I brought half of my dish home. The short rib portion was a lot smaller. Others at our table had the special snapper, the halibut, and the filet mignon. Everyone was happy with their dishes. We ended the meal with three orders of the pistachio olive oil cake--so good! My one complaint is that the drinks didn't feel very strong. There were also some service issues. Our large order of appetizers came out surprisingly quickly, as did our entrées. Unfortunately, all our silverware was cleared with the appetizers, so none of us had utensils when our entrées arrived. Also, only six of the seven main dishes came out initially, and it took several minutes before the final snapper dish was brought out. Other than that, it was a pleasant meal. Several managers were floating around the main dining floor and regularly checked in on us to make sure we were okay. I will keep 618 in mind the next time I am in the Freehold area and can get a reservation! There were several items I didn't get to try this visit that sounded interesting and yummy!

    Skirt Steak with hand cut Fries and Guacamole Chimichurri Sauce
    Alan L.

    My wife and I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at 618 Restaurant in Freehold, NJ, and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish! A huge shout-out to our amazing server, Joe N., who was truly world-class. He kept us entertained all night and made us feel like we had been friends for years. He started us off with some perfectly crafted drinks--a Lychee Martini for my wife and a Moscow Mule with Ketel One for me. For appetizers, the crab cakes were light, fluffy, and a total standout, and my Cajun BBQ shrimp and grits were spot on. Things only got better with the entrees: my wife's short rib ravioli was incredibly tasty, and my skirt steak with hand-cut fries and guacamole chimichurri was cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, we followed Joe's expert recommendations for dessert. My wife loved the Dubai chocolate martini with a scoop of gelato, and my chunky monkey sundae was so good I honestly considered ordering a second one for the road! Joe treated us with such respect and genuine hospitality that we made sure to tip him generously. We will definitely be back for sure! -- AL

    Do they still have Happy Hour?

    Yes

    Is there a childrens menu?

    No children's menu, but there are some dishes that could be ordered for kids and the restaurant will make changes.

    We want to stop in for lunch straight from the soccer fields. Do you think there's a dress code during lunch hours?

    Will you be serving Mother's Day Brunch? What are the details and can I make a reservation ahead of time?

    I was out of town and my friend brought me here and I was not let down. Is it weird that you can…read moretell if the food is going to be by the quality of their fruit salad? I don't think so. It was very clearly not fruit cocktail from a can but good fruit. The hot apple cider was so delicious as well as the whipped ricotta and prosciutto toast. My mouth is watering as I am typing. The restaurant was packed for a Monday and we still were seated within a few minutes. It was lovely inside and very clean. The waitress was very friendly and even though the restaurant was loaded I didn't feel rushed to order and leave.

    Came to the Skillet yesterday after a beautiful morning in Asbury Park , glad we opted to eat here…read more! We were seated immediately upon arrival (party of 4 at 11:15 on a Saturday!) and ordered a variety of menu options. Loved the variety of the menu , there was truly something for everyone's taste ! The Lemon Orange ricotta pancake was phenomenal and I love that they offer a single pancake (plain or specialty!) as a side so you can have your sweet treat post meal - more places should do this! The Fried rice under the coconut shrimp wasn't cooked super well; this was probably the most disappointing menu item. Their iced coffee can also be ordered to go; I had a black iced coffee so not much to review but the coffee itself was tasty! Loved the decor of the restaurant but it was very noisy and chaotic. Need something to absorb the noise to make for a much nicer experience. Overall definitely would return, especially if eating outside on a warmer day!
