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!

This is the first time I've ever been to Shipwreck Grill, which is crazy because I've grown up in…read morethis area. I've always heard good things, and I thought the food stood up to the reputation. The restaurant was packed on a Monday night, which was probably a good sign for what led to a delicious meal. I really enjoyed the roasted oysters topped with yummy breadcrumbs. My daughter enjoyed a sushi appetizer and wedge salad with blackened tuna that she claimed was delicious as well. Our other dinner partner enjoyed his halibut. I really loved the show-stopping, gigantic jumbo lump crab meat risotto. It was very filling, but super delicious. The food was rich and, in some ways, basic, but executed perfectly. I added some of the street corn and that really made things even better get this dish. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere was busy, if not hectic. Our table was in the middle of the room, next to a large family with little kids. One was seven months old and the other was two. That seemed like a bit much for a dinner with these price points. It's not an inexpensive restaurant and certainly not a family-vibe Houlihan's. We had mixed feelings about the atmosphere, but I kind of thought it was cool--a really pretty building with some rustic charm.

He's beyond attentive, knows the menu inside and out, and clearly takes pride in his craft. His Old Fashioned is the best I've ever had--and I've had them everywhere. The martini is equally impressive, with that perfect cloudy glow that only comes from a flawlessly balanced shake. A phenomenal start to the evening. The food more than lives up to the experience at the bar. Every dish is precisely prepared, beautifully executed, and made with abundant, high-quality ingredients. You can taste the care and consistency in every bite. Without question, Shipwreck Grill is one of the best restaurants in Monmouth County. A true standout and a place I'll return to again and again.

We brought two bottles of wine, and the white was put in a chilled bucket right away. Just a note for anyone not familiar with BYOB restaurants in New Jersey: if they don't have a liquor license, the servers can't pour your wine. I don't mind pouring my own, so it wasn't an issue. The meal started with an amuse-bouche: two sips of tomato soup with a bruschetta crostini. It was a nice way to begin. One of the standout dishes was the breaded pork chop stuffed with prosciutto and cheese, served with a cognac mushroom sauce. My spouse gave me a bite, and it was one of the best I've had this summer. The pork was juicy with just a little pink, and the combination of flavors worked really well. I'm still thinking about it. We also had the tuna tower with soy sauce, ginger, horseradish, and wasabi. It was fresh and nicely presented. I ordered the foie gras (before you bash me, read Foie Gras Wars by Mark Caro and then decide )It was paired with a poached pear and simply prepared. I would have liked a slice of French toast, brioche (a girl could dream), but when I mentioned it, our server brought crostini, which worked fine. Chef Bass was out on the floor greeting guests and bringing out plates. He has really terrific energy. Bistro by Bass is a great dinner date spot and I also observed many larger tables having shared food. Next time, I'll order the pork chop for myself. I also saw several orders of escargot go by that looked really good. I wish I got the tableside bananas Foster. I've had it before there and it was fabulous! I ordered the almond Amarado gelato that tasted like a delicious almond joy, coconut, and almond crunches throughout. (my dinner partner hates coconut and chunky ice cream so he wasn't "NO", but I thought it was great!) From what I could tell, other tables were enjoying their meals too. The pricing was fair, the atmosphere was lively, and I'd go back.

One person in our party had an allergy. No alternatives for side dishes were offered. They just offered him a protein on a plate; no sides. When we asked if we could sub the French fries (allergy safe) for the side offered with the meal (it was either mashed potatoes or a pasta/rice and it was not safe) we were told no, but we could pay for a side dish of fries. We just felt like they were not super accommodating; they would have been fine putting a protein on the plate with no sides and calling it a day. Though our meal was very good. I don't think we will go back due to how crowded the space felt and not being able to accommodate allergies.
