Food: 4/5 Drink: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 Comfort: 3.5/5 TL/DR: busy- friendly & prompt service- fresh food & good drinks, huge chicken parm portion, good but underseasoned. Stopped in at 7ish for supper on a Thursday evening. Bar was full so I took a hi-top, ready and poised like Gordon himself to critique the menu variety and lack of bowties. Already judging the slightly too loud for comfort DJ playing the perfect mix of my guilty pleasures (not to be discussed here). However, for the crowd, service came quickly, and a beverage and entree were on the way. Burgers, seafood, and other options looked good, but my heart saw chicken parm and our fate was sealed. I noticed the $50 price for that with pasta, and was shocked, until it arrived. Then I was astounded. The portion that was brought forth could feed 3 of me, maybe 4 or 5 of average size and endurance. As I began my conquest of this challenge set before me, another server arrived with bread and EVOO/vin/etc. I assume this means bread service was late, but good LORD, ITS AS IF THE DELICIOUS CARBS NEVER END?!. The vodka sauce was classic. Chicken parm was massive, fresh, and crispy. Only gripe is the chicken was bland- needs more salt/msg/herbs in breading & seasoning. All in all, supper and service was good and theres a full menu of italian, burger, and bar food options probably worth trying. ELE OT

Well mannered , knowledgeable about the menu , sincere all well moving with a purpose. He treated us a lonely table of 2 like we were his only priority well simultaneously handling a 10 , 4 and 6 top. We sat in the side dining room facing the kitchen pass. We watched 6 pros handle business. Minimal words just chin gestures and some pointing. Some serious heat was moving thru that kitchen being passed to runners that kept that fire alive calling for garnish extra sauce and accoutrements as if it was Orchestra.Food was phenomenal. Egregious portions. Flavors layer. Sweet salty fatty creamy one after another nothing standing too far out or too far behind. The spice in the seafood dish was about right to let you know it was there but not over stay it's welcome. Plump seafood with a clean finish. We shared a bite with each other and went for seconds. The dessert a catcher's mitt size of chunk of old style ricotta cheese cake. Mind you all this was happening when they were serving a wedding of 50 in the back room. Two cons. The a/c wasn't working it was a little warm. I won't harp too much on that we had extreme weather the day prior. Number 2 . Truffle oil. The table next to us ordered truffle fries. We smelt it , the table on the far side of us smelt it. Truffle oil is so strong you can smell it on your clothes the next day.

So when we needed a dinner location in the Brick, I figured we would try this location. Upon my early arrival, I was seated in the west facing room with ample natural light. There was only one other table of "early birds" nearby and they were loud but entertaining. Our waitress greeted me and brought some water and an ice bucket. I perused the menu while waiting for my friends. To my delight, this place is MUCH larger than Manahawkin. There are at least three rooms. Regardless, by the time we left, it was very busy. reservations are highly recommended. When my friends arrived, our waitress reviewed the menu additions. We decided on the oysters, octopus, arugula salad and the cod special. Everything was excellent. Service and pace were perfect. Plates promptly cleared, bread replentished. We shared a tiramisu and I had a double expresso. We will definitely return. I will take some photos on my next visit.

The waitress handled herself with such grace and kindness after the man continued to give her a hard time. Later, I listened as he requested for her to ask the manager to take off a percentage for him being he was a veteran. After she walked away, they started laughing and the one guy said, you're too much. It was clear that he wasn't being honest. He certainly wasn't a veteran and sadly the couple we were with has a son serving in the military. Unfortunately, this man took advantage of this opportunity and I was upset to see that someone would lie about serving our country. I did compliment the waitress for handling that table with dignity after being treated so poorly. She did say they honored a 10% off discount for him and it wasn't warranted because he lied. Kudos to your wait staff for dealing with rude customers and liars.
