    Colleen ..

    Made a reservation because it was Valentine's Day and we wanted to make sure we could eat there because we had a show to go see. The place is so nice. The staff is attentive. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

    Legendary Manhattan clam chowder
    Ed C.

    Without a doubt, they serve the best, most flavorful Manhattan style clam chowder in all of southern NJ. Prove me wrong... Lefty's has a full menu and specialty seafood items that will tickle and sate even the most discerning palate. There is a full bar where drinks are strong, and the customers are smiling and chatting away. The wait staff is very friendly and their service is on point. Even on a busy Saturday night, this crew is like a well oiled machine that anticipates your needs and keeps things moving along. I will continue to give them my business in the future. Get in here

    Grilled chicken special
    Steve J.

    Early mother's Day dinner at Lefty's. Been here a few times now and have never been able to complain. We had a group of eight, restaurant was packed, but service was still outstanding and like we were the only one's in the place. All of the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Their chicken cutlets are so good, don't know how they get them so crispy and delicious. The stuffed avocado, sweet and sour calamari, and clams casino were great. French onion soup was delicious. The schnitzel and spaetzel was delicious. Peaches and pork chops, and other dinners and specials - no complaints. And just so you know, righties are welcome to.

    cheese steak

    went with my son today and was shocked at how horrible that cheesesteak was. I don't think it's really that difficult to make a good cheesecake but do you figure it out a way not to do that !cheese steak soon as I received it I knew it was going to be awful!

    BeSt Lobster Bisque
    Luisa B.

    Lefty's is one of our LaSt of its KInD aROuNd Barnegat AnD if yoU havNet beeN gOoOO! The owners are younger and know how to differentiate between the older and younger crowd in Ocean County, there is daily Specials and music on the weekends! The prices and portions of food are MORE than generous and have YOU tried the lobster bisque soup?!? It's any Seafood dish for me from here but especially the garlic clams which again is an incredible PORTION for about $14 ! The coconut shrimp as well are lively and affordable for their size! The service is impeccable and cleanliness is above all the rest I have to say ! The servers are never on their phones or with bad attitudes and always laughing and making great conversation - the way it should be in any friendly local establishment ! I would HiGHLY recommend LeFtYs for AnY HoLiDaY ReSeRVaTiOnS , group dinners , couple outings or just a bite for !

    *Sigh* The place looked interesting. The main dining area…read morewas on the second floor, while they had a couple of tables dockside for people who would rather eat with a direct ocean view. The dining area was ok, but had a good view, depending where you are seated. The staff was friendly. However, the gap between the appetizers and the main courses were too long. It was my brother's birthday and he ordered a prefix menu for everyone. For appetizers, We had raw oysters-on-a-half shell, calamari and baked mussels. They were good. Unfortunately, one of our tables didn't receive any oysters. The staff said they ran out. The choices for the main course were butterflied shrimp (4 pieces), Chicken Francese or a grilled pork chop. I picked the pork chop, while my wife picked the chicken. My other brother picked the shrimp. The food was ok. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. For the price my brother paid, you'd expect more. If you picked the shrimp and you were hungry, you'd be unsatisfied. They weren't filling. I don't know if I'd recommend this place or not. The place was busy, though. I guess they have a following.

    For starters, it was a little confusing to get inside as a first time visit. Also, there are lots…read moreof steps, but there's also an elevator that you can use.. we got the specialty appetizer which was a goat, cheese, candied, walnut strawberry salad-- that was good. I got salmon, oreganata style, the meal was absolutely delicious. However, the entrées came out pretty quick. The crab looks were also cooked very well. Bread and olive oil are served immediately after seating. The views outside of the window from the restaurant were very nice. And there's a dock that you can drive your boat up to and park outside the restaurant. Our server was great. She had good knowledge of all of the specials and the menu itself. Would definitely recommend going here as the service is great and the food was good.

    I ended up back at Manera's recently and wanted to share a quick update based on my new experience…read more First, our service was yet again spectacular! The waiter was caring, friendly, and professional. Secondly, the food was great, and actually even better than the last time. I started my lunch with a cup of their Chicken Tortilla Soup, which had a lightly spicy tomato-based broth infused with loads of shredded white meat chicken and garnished with a few tortilla strips. It was flavorful, comforting, and a perfect vehicle in which to dip their crusty Italian bread. Now the real improvement came from my selected entree. While the Asian Shrimp Salad that I had ordered previously was just mediocre, the Seared Tuna Salad that I got this time was delicious! The plate included mixed greens, sliced avocado, julienne cucumbers, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes, and sesame-crusted, sushi-grade tuna, which I ordered seared to a medium rare. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked. Cups of wasabi and Asian dressing were served on the side and further infused a tangy heat to the dish. It was colorful, textural, and simply delicious. It was a real winner! Manera's Restaurant provided yet another enjoyable meal with dedicated service in a classy, yet casual, atmosphere.
