We recently…read morecelebrated our son's wedding at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank, and I cannot say enough about the extraordinary experience we had. From beginning to end, everything was absolutely spectacular. The food was outstanding, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was simply immaculate. The staff, dressed in their elegant black-and-white uniforms with white-glove service, demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that was truly impressive. Having spent more than 40 years in the food service and hospitality industry, including owning my own restaurant for over two decades, I know firsthand what it takes to execute an event of this magnitude. I can sincerely say that the team at Oyster Point went above and beyond in every aspect. What impressed me most was how seamlessly everything flowed. The staff anticipated guests' needs, the timing was impeccable, and not a single detail seemed to be overlooked. It was evident that tremendous preparation, teamwork, and pride went into making this celebration exceptional. Most importantly, we were able to relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate our son and his beautiful bride without a single worry. To the entire team at Oyster Point Hotel, thank you for helping create such a wonderful and unforgettable wedding celebration for our family. Five stars without hesitation. I would highly recommend Oyster Point Hotel to anyone planning a wedding or special event. John Kretkowski

This is a great hotel with excellent staff and the North Suite was a highlight despite some quirks…read more We stayed at The Oyster Point Hotel over Christmas while visiting family and had a very positive overall experience, even with a few hiccups along the way. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. One young man was clearly in training, and the young woman guiding him was extremely knowledgeable and polite which to me was a great example of mentorship done right. Unfortunately, our original room had a heater that was rattling loudly and had pooled water on top of it, which I recorded and showed to the front desk. To their credit, maintenance responded quickly, and the technician was friendly, professional, and even helped move my luggage. He brought us keys to a new room, and the front desk upgraded us to the North Suite, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The North Suite was fantastic with a large space with a massive balcony and beautiful views, along with a comfortable seating area outside. Sadly, due to the season, it was too cold to enjoy the balcony, but we appreciated the feature. That said, the suite wasn't perfect: The shower area was oddly dark, with little lighting. There was no air vent in the bathroom, which seemed unusual. The sink was smaller than the one in the standard suite. Neither of the two TVs worked, though I didn't want to complain during the stay and just mentioned it at checkout. The bathroom door didn't latch, which was a minor but noticeable issue. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling, which gave me pause. Despite those flaws, the service and staff stood out. I witnessed two bar employees being rudely berated by guests over late food (which obviously wasn't their fault), and they handled the situation with professionalism and calm. I was so impressed by their professionalism under pressure (and so thoroughly disgusted by that table of senior citizens who should know better than to act that way) that I tipped each of them $50 each on top of our drink tab to make up for how poorly they were treated. Speaking of which, the bar area is a wonderful little spot, with friendly staff and the occasional live music, making it a fun place to unwind without leaving the hotel. The cocktails are excellent as well. This hotel has long been our go-to when in town, and while there were a few issues this time, the staff's attentiveness and care truly made the experience special. We're already looking forward to our return in 2026. TIP: Be mindful of where you park! The handicap parking is limited, and one of the spaces is under a tree that's heavily populated with birds. Our car was completely covered in bird droppings. I mean absolutely covered. Avoid that spot if you can.

Came here on a weekend and it was pretty empty inside, but mostly because the weather was nice and assuming more people wanted to sit outdoors. Staff was super friendly and prompt and everything came out fresh! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the omelette was nothing special... was slightly overcooked and not as fluffy as I would have liked!

This was, hands down, the best breakfast I've had since moving to NJ. Not only were the eggs perfectly fluffy, the potatoes perfectly crispy and the toast -- an often forgotten about afterthought of a diner meal -- was fresh and flavorful. To top it off, we got to engage with queen felicia herself (an absolutely adorable fireball of well warranted sass) and Sam (photographed below in portrait form with my mom who shares the same name). I will be back, I want Felicia to adopt me as a son and I wish them nothing but the best moving forward.

Didn't think they would be that busy on a Wednesday night so even though they no longer take reservations online we went. Surprised it was packed, an hour wait.

Soup and salad we ordered were very good. Wine by the glass was half off. Desserts were fine too, only wished I knew to order the soufflé before my dinner, it does take more than a half hour.

The item I ate was a shame-wich, which consisted of pork roll, egg, and melted cheese between buttermilk pancakes. There was also maple syrup on the side. This was very tasty.

The egg was nicely cooked as well. Will I go back? Sure.
