Negroni and manasquan beer
Roxanne O.

I ordered a Negroni on their holiday drink special menu. Very small but so strong. Not just heavy handed but undrinkable. Maybe I'll come again when the outdoor area is open but will keep it safe with a wine.

We had a reservation at 6 o'clock and we were seated immediately. We had an 8 o'clock show in the…read morebuilding to go to, so we thought we had plenty of time. our server confirmed that. Drinks were delicious and the wine was very good. We enjoyed the appetizers, especially the nachos and the Caesar salad was tasty. Service was fairly slow, which was disappointing because by the time we got our entrees there was no time for dessert. Now to the entrées, the black cod was delicious as was the cheesesteak. Two of us ordered the papparadelle al Limone and we added Burrata to it. The pasta was made in house and was made well, but the Burrata on top was so cooked that it was like rubber and the pasta was in a watery butter sauce that had zero flavor. If we weren't out of time and needed to get to the show, we definitely would've sent it back. It was that bland. I can't remember the last time I sent anything back, but this would've been one of those times. I would go back to the restaurant because I like the vibe but you would have to do a lot of convincing for me to ever order that entrée again. I was torn between giving it four stars or three. If you had a 3 1/2 that's what I would've done.

They have an indoors section and an outdoor patio area (which is a good option if you're only…read moregetting drinks as they get busy and thus food service lags). However when we moved indoors, we got serviced quickly! Got a medium well burger (with bacon added). It was pretty standard in terms of taste - only surprise came with the fries which were disappointing as they lacked salt and seemed kinda burnt. Overall a decent experience and I'd return to explore more of their menu.

First time here and overall really enjoyed it. The restaurant itself looks very nice and has a…read moregreat atmosphere. We went around 2:00 PM the day before Mother's Day, and it was pretty quiet inside besides a few larger groups. Service was kind and welcoming. The food took a little while to come out, which surprised me since it didn't seem too busy, but maybe there was a party or something going on elsewhere. For appetizers, we got the Brussels sprouts and the warm feta dip -- both were absolutely fabulous and so delicious. Definitely recommend them. Next time I want to try the fried calamari too. For our entrées, I was deciding between getting a pizza, but ended up ordering the Lincroft Burger while my friend got the Charlie's Burger. We cut them in half and switched so we could each try both. Great idea because both burgers were really good. I personally prefer my fries extra crispy and these weren't quite there, but they still tasted good. The cookie skillet dessert LOOKED amazing. We were way too stuffed to order it this time, but next visit I'm definitely saving room for it. Overall, I would come again. Enjoy!

We gave it another chance and it came through. The burgers…read morewere 10/10 Server was wonderful and the Christmas decor was charming! Glad we tried again

My fiancé and I stopped in for lunch. The beer menu is HUGE. There's a great mix of all beer types,…read moreeven ciders and seltzers. They also have a few cocktails. My fiancé had a sour beer that tasted like sangria and I had a sour beer that was a take on mango sticky rice (such a unique beer). My fiancé had a fruity white lager that tasted a bit like a margarita. I had the patty melt with onion rings (up charge) and my fiancé had the steak sandwich with steak fries. Heads up their steak fries are actually potato wedge; still tasty but a pleasant surprised. Both of our sandwiches were delicious. The steak sandwich came with a delicious garlic aioli. Our server was great. She mentioned that a lot of their beer is from Icarus brewing in Lakewood and suggested we check it out. We don't live too close but if we're ever in the area we'll be sure to come back. A lot of the beers were calling my name. A great local place. It's located on a somewhat busy street with street parking but there's a municipal about a minute walk.

I met up with some friends on a Saturday night in the summer and the place was packed. We were…read moretold it would be a 90 min wait for a table of 5. Fortunately, the waiting time was about half of that. While we waited, we hung out around the bar and there wasn't much room to linger. The views of the New York skyline were breathtaking and this place is the perfect setting for a beautiful summer night! I had the calamari and New Jersey lobster rolls. The calamari was tender and tasty. The rolls were small but good. They weren't loaded with mayo and came with chips that were very salty. I probably would have preferred french fries, if given the option. Parking is a bit of a challenge. We managed to find a spot and it was a 5 min walk to the car.

The bartender at service was told not to serve the cherries because they were "disgusting" but my friend and I watched her still put them in a cocktail for a table. Absolutely unprofessional and disgusting establishment. Jake (the owner, I'm assuming) was right there as they did it and didn't say a thing
