I thought the upgrade to the bathroom was incredible. State of the art Dyson sinks. Easy to use and efficient. The place also has a great outside area with a view of the ocean! Our server Wesley was great. He was kind, efficient, & we enjoyed talking to him. Our food came out just as ordered. The food was ok. I remember Jenks taking a little more pride in the food and in previous years, I remember thinking, wow, this food is really delicious. This time I would give them a C for food. The drinks were good. I would say, pay more attention to the food & this place could be a home run!

It is a cute, solid choice for a restaurant down the shore, the inside is decorated with old beach club vibes. There are a couple of tables inside, but it does get super packed during the weekend afternoons, especially around the bar area with lots of people getting ready to start their night. They don't take reservations, but we ended up getting lucky and didn't have to wait too long. We were seated around the porch, which was perfect with the weather we were having. We had a bigger table, but our waitress was lovely, patient, and gave great recommendations. We ended up getting the burrata and fried calamari to start, and some of us got the lobster bisque. Everything came out fresh and tasted great. The soup was rich and on the thicker side--some were fans and others not so much, but I thought it was great! For mains, I had the rigatoni pomodoro and added shrimp to it. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the dollop of ricotta was a nice creamy touch. Overall, it was a solid meal.

We went out to eat twice while there, once for dinner and once for lunch. I will review both places using this as my intro to the reviews. For dinner, we ate at Jack Baker's Wharfside, which I also see listed as The Wharfside Seafood & Patio Bar. Frankly surprised it has very average ratings, as I would not say that was our experience on Tuesday night, August 4, 2026. It was reasonably busy and likely explains the somewhat slow service. We were 4 adults and a toddler. We had a few cocktails; all were reasonably good and fairly priced. There were also a few glasses of wine with the meals from a decent, but not extensive list. Everyone had seafood, including the toddler, which included the spicy garlic shrimp appetizer that was a crowd pleaser, and main courses that consisted of snow crab, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and lobster. i was the only one to have the lobster bisque, which I thought exceptional, as it had a creamy consistency and loaded with lobster chunks. There were no complaints though about any of the dishes and we were all happy customers. The prices were reasonable considering the fare and the location, especially as the patio featured a live band, We dined on the patio, but far away from the band, so the music level was pleasant, having seen some reviews suggesting it can be a bit much. It would be hard to complain though about the scenery, as the patio faces a calm channel that leads out to sea. All in all it was very a successful evening. I felt this rated a solid 4, understanding some would rate it a 5, but difficult to understand why anyone would place it lower than a 3.

Three areas with their own music styles (live band/main room, sports bar and tecno/DJ) makes it trendy for all types. The perks continue with the absence of the Snookie types for the most part. You won't find guys tearing their shirts off or doing pushups on the dance floor here either, nor will you find guys measuring their manhood by the diameter of their biceps. It's just a bunch of young professionals out having a great time. Be prepared and come with cash. This is a cash only establishment until the IRS catches up with them. There's an ATM, but youll pay a nominal fee to use it.

Very important things to know before you visit The Osprey:…read more 1. The other low star reviews are correct, this bar does in fact refuse to serve tap water. If you'd like water, you will have to pay $3 for a bottle. I had hoped that because most of those reviews are a few years old, that maybe times had changed this policy but I was wrong. 2. The cover is $20 and the entire bar is cash only. There are a few ATMs inside and the fee is $3.99 as of July 2021. 3. There are a few specific rules that might prevent you from gaining entry... No tank tops, no large backpacks, no flip flops, & no smoking or vaping. 4. The line gets LONG. My friends and I arrived at around 9 PM and waited about 20 minutes, which was nothing (according to my local friend) compared to the typical wait. Our experience was, for the most part, what we had expected. I do realize that this bar is not known for high quality service or ambiance, but there were a few things that even a low level dance bar should be on top of for the health and safety of their customers. I was honestly disgusted when I saw that one of the women's bathrooms was flooded, I believe this was due to a clogged toilet. There appeared to be fecal matter floating on the floor. The smell permeated to the nearby dance floor which made me believe this problem had been ignored for quite some time. The bathroom did not have any "Out of Service" signage, or even a wet floor sign to save someone from slipping and falling in that nasty mess. As for the drinks, cocktails and beers are $7 each. There are an abundance of bars to order from, so I was happy to not have to wait very long at any point. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed dancing in the mirrored room (as far away from the nasty bathroom as possible). The music was shockingly loud to the point that our voices are strained today from yelling to try to talk to each other. This was all part of the experience. Most of the staff was friendly and kind. One security person even let me know when I had accidentally dropped cash on the floor! I really appreciated that. If you, with all of this knowledge, are still down to go to The Osprey then I believe you fully understand what you are getting yourself into and I salute your commitment to having a night out.

Someone mentioned this place so we decided to check it out. For those who haven't been here before, you must show id, open up any bags/purses and get a wristband placed on you before entering the space. With it being a beautiful day, it made sense that it was pretty full/packed in there - we were still able to find some good seats at the bar. We both went with frozen drinks to cool us off. They weren't as strong as we were hoping/expecting so we ordered a round of shots also. We were pretty hungry, so happy that it didn't take long for the food to come after ordering. Both felt our seafood was fresh and were surprised at the large size of the shrimp. Food was good standard bar food. The live music group came on before we got our food and I really enjoyed their set. Good go-to spot to check out when at Point Pleasant Beach.
