    Owner is friendly as hell, prices are amazing, tournaments every week. This place is the best. Never going anywhere else for MTG.

    This review is for the restaurant in the Tom''s River Country Club, not sure if it has a specific…read morename, but I am sure it is a FANTASTIC spot with excellent food in a beautiful setting. My pal and I started with a couple of cocktails, I picked the sangria and she went with the espresso martini. Both were really good and well prepared. Next came a bread basket with the most exceptional bread. It was an Italian sesame loaf, but the interior was yellow, almost like an egg bagel and it was 100%. It was so good, that I asked for some extra to take home and made epic french otast with it the next day. It was THAT good! After that we both got french onion soup, which was also 1975 fantastic and just the way I like it, with tons of gruyere baked on top. For my main, I went with the Chicken Don Pepe- Which was a breaded chicken cutlet served with roasted tomatoes and red onions over basil risotto-truly fantastic and a VERY generous portion, enough to take home for lunch the next day. We were way too stuffed to go for dessert, we just headed outside to a few comfortable adirondack chairs and look out at the beautiful landscape.

    Come here for the ambience and not the food! A great spot for playing golf and enjoying time with…read morefriends, but the food is pretty subpar Food: they start you off with bread with garlic butter and the garli butter was really good! We got the croquettes as an app, and they were very good! Super soft on the inside, u was a bit surprised at the texture! I was very excited about the cheese wheel carbonara. It was more exciting to watch them make this then actually eat! It was almost too creamy I'm not the best way! Service: not the best. They had a spill, which is fine but it took us a really long time to get napkins yo clean it up and they didn't really do anything about it Price: pretty pricy given portion sizes and quality but I guess it's the price you pay for the view
