The menu was large and we had two options as part of a food tour I was on. I was able to try the scarpariello wings and boardwalk pizza. The wings were wood-fired with their special blend of seasoning and sauce along with cherry peppers. These were really tasty. The wings were a good size and the chicken fell right off the bone. The sauce had a slight kick to it with the cherry peppers present. The wood aspect of this dish was very noticeable too. The boardwalk pizza had house-made chorizo sausage, green pepper, onion, parmesan, Pomodoro, oregano, and red pepper flakes. This was alright. The crust was a little underdone for me, so it was a little flabby. The chorizo was the best part. I feel like jalapenos would have been a better choice of pepper here. The sauce was light and appetizing too. I also had a piece of bread that came out warm and paired nicely with the sauce from the wings. I was glad bread was provided to soak up that sauce! Will I go back? Probably.

Set into such a cute background it's hard to pick apart the scenery. I met my friends and we sat in the lounge area. It was comfortable, cute, we loved it. I settled for the yoshi drink (it was matcha based and quite amazing!) my friend had the rotary which he said was great as well. We ordered a hodgepodge of appetizers and food to share amongst ourselves.. the oysters were good, they were small and didn't really justify its cost. Smashburger was exactly that, nothing mind blowing or memorable about it and we had no complaints. We got the focaccia with whipped ricotta and honey. But out came a focaccia with tomato sauce on top and Mozerella. We had to ask the waitress about it who replied the kitchen may have updated the menu and substituted that in its place... I don't know what your thoughts are but whipped ricotta with honey is not even in the same category as a glorified pizza cheese bread and our bellies really didn't want this imposter of a plate. But our waitress had it corrected. When it came back out we were met with the whipped ricotta and honey with bread which was great! But it wasnt focaccia... disappointing but if the menu was going to state focaccia than focaccia is what should be served not the sourdough bread we got.... So sad! their charcuterie nachos board was to die for, the meats sliced perfect and olives that were so fresh, it came on a board with beautiful presentation. We ordered cheese fries too but that was mediocre at best. We were there for a while so more drinks ordered. We had to send a rotary back because it was definitely not made with woodford reserve and had some other drink mixed into it. My friend had an internal meltdown because it was soo bad, accidents happen at the bar so our waitress personally watched the bartender remake it and it came back perfect and all was right with the world again for my friend... Now off to desserts. We had the 17 layer chocolate cake, the upside down pineapple cake sundae and the butterscotch pudding. The best one out of all of them was the butterscotch pudding. The upside down pineapple cake sundae was meh.. and Mabel's should just take the 17 layer chocolate cake off the menu. I was offended for the ambience to allow a cake of that caliber to be served there. It was dry. It left our mouths feeling like we bit into sand after each bite. The chocolate frosting also felt like it was a rolled sugar after thought. Had the texture off marzipan and lacked taste. It was disappointing I think we wanted to cry.... The chocolate shavings they had on the cake for presentation was dry and showed visible signs of age. Like they had rolled the shavings days before and put it into a tub to use throughout the week. We made it through some of the cake by spooning the upside down pineapple cake sundae into each chocolate cake bite.. All in all the vibes is cute but the food did not hit like we wanted it too. My recommendation to the restaurant is to revisit the menu and personally taste it and be very honest with the plate and ask themselves if the bite matches the mood of the restaurant and if it doesn't take it off the menu and replace it.... The goal is to keep and retain customers so they continue to recommend and recruit more people and for this place it should start with being proud for the food being served and the accuracy of the quality of the food.

I was a bit disappointed at the lack of seafood on the menu. My picky girlfriend would have enjoyed some flounder or scallops but they only had a seared salmon and blacked shrimp. The Mrs. Got a burger and it was adequate, nothing to write home about. I got the chicken parm and it was ample and terrific. The tomato sauce was stellar! Sadly I wanted the scallops with risotto. This place has potential, the service is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, plus I know the chef has the chops from visiting his last place, the red store in Navasink. We'll be back but I'll be sure to check for seafood offerings before I go.

My friends and I chose to celebrate Easter Sunday at The Squire this year, and had just ordered our dinner. Suddenly, I began to feel ill and tried to find a gracious way to leave. Before I knew it, the restaurant staff was at my side, calling 911 and first responders to the restaurant. I was so grateful for the caring assistance of the staff, in particular the manager, Faye Basile, who treated me as she would have treated a member of her family, during an awkward and frightening moment. When it was time for me to be taken to the hospital, I had relaxed enough to allow the paramedics to give me the treatment that I needed. I will continue to return to The Squire with gratitude, as much for their caring service as for their excellent food and dining atmosphere.

We always loved the outdoor patio overlooking Sandy hook and did not want to be inside. The menu was different and smaller. In talking with our server, Julian, who was top notch, we learned they were just getting back in the swing with new cook, etc. I ordered the clams as a meal, it was actually shown as an appetizer. My husband had the fried fish sandwich - I believe cod - with fries. Both really were good. I had a mixed drink, I don't remember the name but cucumber and lime, also very good. Julian went out of his way to make us feel like we were "back at home " after the travesty that had been the last owners and were terrible. Storms were coming and he gave us a heads up that we could move under cover or if we wanted to stay outside he was there to help if the weather did not hold. As we finished our meal the weather did take a turn for the worse. We moved in with Julian's help to have coffee and dessert. They still had the original campfire sundae with a toasted marshmallow on top. Coffee also very good. Julian said they were going to be trying different things on the menu. I'll say here that they need to hold on to Julian as he was very good at his job plus friendly and just super. So the bad weather did pass and we saw a gorgeous full double rainbow. I know this was not part of the restaurant but, hey, I believe in signs. Was it what it used to be? No. But we see a lot of promise and we will be taking that long drive again.
