POINT PLEASANT BEACH: visiting The Ark Pub and Eatery is one of the best dining experiences we…read moreever had. Fantastic service, food, and we love their space. They have great people and management who really care about the customer experience. The Ark puts an emphasis on local and work with family run NJ businesses to provide the freshest ingredients. They offer a farm to table menu with seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more! A great cocktail list, full bar, and over 100 beer offerings including from NJ breweries. They also offer lunch specials seven days a week! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at the back outdoor patio that has a Key West vibe and fully covered on top by a tent. They are also allowed inside with a beautiful pub/tavern feel with woodwork and dim lighting. Olivia was our awesome server and was attentive, friendly, and gave Brie lots of love. There are TVs to watch the game, events throughout the week, and if you bring your own freshly caught fish, they will cook it for you!

All of the meats were cooked amazingly, but for me personally I am just not super crazy about the sauce. It's a nice light tangy sauce which my partner enjoyed. I definitely prefer something more smokey and dark. All the sides were fantastic as well, no complaints! As well as service. Everyone was very friendly. Our total came to $78 (before tip) which is pretty hefty but not horrible for the amount we got. Would go again!

The guy after us ordered the shrimp basket also. An hour and 15 minutes later, they were cleaning the kitchen we had asked about our order several times and we're told it was coming. We eventually just had to get a refund and left. There was a lot of staff there and nobody really was checking up and I understand that it's recently adding but it's Thursday night. I'm not sure what happened but the one girl that was behind the register tried to hand us one fried fisherman's platter instead of broiled that was not fried yet, it was breaded raw fish in a box, once I opened it I just asked for the refund cause they didn't have the other two items And the kitchen have been closed long time. It was well over an hour. I don't know what happened. There was so many people working there and they all saw us waiting, but not one person approached and said they would check on it that they've seen us waiting for a long time. So, I genuinely do not understand how the order was not put in. We did ask several times for an update and were told it was coming. Then they closed. I have left this place several five star reviews for a while now and I genuinely like it, but this was really inexcusable. Not only did they not make the food, but after they were closed, the one girl at the cashier tried to get us to leave with one meal instead of three and it was raw ! I'm so thankful that I opened the box at the register. I am not sure what to say and again we really love this place every other time but this was really shocking. So anyway, about 9 PM we wound up looking around for places that were still open so at least we could have something for dinner. We got to crab shack around seven and ordered by 720, go figure. I hope they're able to get the kinks out with their expansion because we still like them and would like to try it again

Fuck ! so many bars, so little time and the amount of time you spend is directly correlated to how much you drink unless the server has her tiny brain working elsewhere. Cute only works so much and on 50 percent of the customers. Honestly, know your customers, plenty of women are locals and would like a menu in less than 20 minutes and a drink as well. My guy was ready to take her head off bc he had to wait for his drink while she chatted up at the bar while we sat at a table like idiots! BADDDDDD
