Tiny martini
Gary T.

First the positives! The pizza was great and the restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The hostess and bartenders were friendly and prompt. Now for the negatives! Upon walking in, we were greeted with the unpleasant smell of poop. The entire restaurant smelled like sewage the entire time we were there for some reason. The surf and turf skewer had literally one tiny piece of steak, and one shrimp. Pathetic. My martini was 1/3 full when it came - looked maybe half full once they dropped the olives in. I don't think I'll be back.

OMG! We were looking for a place that had a happy hour until 7:00 on a Wednesday. (It was already 6) I looked online, "Happy Hours until 7 near me" and this was the first hit. It looked cool so we went. The decor is amazing, and Melanie and Michael, were so nice and accommodating. It just so happens, it was the very first day for the happy hour and the happy hour menu. And I can recommend everything on it, both drinks AND food! We ordered the Filet sliders, the Kobe beef meatball sliders, Burrata Caprese, tuna tartare, and a taco. All ridiculous! I had the sangria and a margarita, both excellent. Highly recommend, 10/10 no notes.

My Review of Park Social, Neptune There's a lot of hype about this restaurant that opened in December, so I decided to see what it was all about. I was thrilled to find valet parking because it was a rainy Friday night. When I walked in, I was shocked to see the transformation of the space from the last time I was there. Very chic without being pretentious, and I found it very cozy. Most people were dressed nicely. We live in a very casual area, so it's nice to get dressed every once in a while. We were greeted at the door and walked up to the podium, where the hostess was. The hostess was very pleasant and gave us the option of sitting at the bar or sitting at a high top in the bar. We decided to sit at the bar. One of my pet peeves is an unfriendly bartender; I mean, don't you think a bartender should have some kind of personality? I was pleasantly surprised that our bartender, Mike, was super nice, very informative, knew the menu, knew the drinks, and made a lot of recommendations. We decided to share plates so we could sample a few things. Shortly after we were seated, we were greeted by the manager, Johnny, who introduced himself. I noticed he went around to all the tables and worked the room while we were there. Exactly what a manager should do. They had a DJ in the corner of the bar. We were seated super close, and the manager asked if we wanted to move when he started, and we decided to take our chances. The volume wasn't super loud, so it was fun. I have to say I really enjoyed the music/mix-up selections. I actually took his card. There isn't any room for dancing, so it's just part of the vibe. I would suggest that, at the end of the night, they have the DJ in one of the rooms, clear some of the tables, and make an area for dancing. We ordered wine & had a Death becomes her cocktail that was excellent , cacio e pepe (a ten)tempura lobster and shrimp (if I ordered again, I would ask them for the sauce on the side). The grilled Caesar came with two chicken croquettes and shaved Parmesan--excellent! The Kobe meatball topped with ricotta cheese was good, but I wouldn't order it again. There was one meatball for $18, and I know why--because it was Kobe beef--but you couldnt really tell that it was Kobe beef. It tasted like a really good meatball, but for $18, I will pass next time. I spoke to someone who had the pizza, and they said the angry pizza and the fig pizza were amazing. For dessert, we ordered the donuts and tiramisu. The donuts were served in a bowl with no dipping sauces. I would rather have fewer donuts and have dipping sauces. But when I mentioned to the bartender that it would be great if they had dipping sauces, he came out with a little dish of caramel and chocolate. The tiramisu was delicious. It's so nice having a restaurant of this caliber so close to home. We usually drive to Asbury or Red Bank for upscale dining. All in all, I give the atmosphere and vibe a 10, the food an 8, and the staff a 10. This is not a budget-friendly restaurant, but we have plenty in this area, so I don't see it as an issue. What I loved: I love the vibe of the restaurant, the drinks, and I really loved that they had great mocktails. The drinks, atmosphere, food , and the staff were excellent. The restaurant business is really hard. I hope they make it. I think with some creative ideas on slow days, they can. We will definitely be returning and trying the steak. That's all folks!

This is our second time there for dinner and the place delivered both times. We had the bacon as an appetizer, a filet mignon, a salad that I can't recall the name of but had artichokes in it and was very tasty. We also had the mashed potatoes - delicious. First time we sat at a table and the second time we ate at the bar. This place has a very solid staff. The bartenders are old school professional and the wait staff is very attentive and friendly. The maitre d - a guy named John is also very engaging and attentive to the operations of the business. If you want to go back in time when service, quality and atmosphere meant something - this is your place. No gimmicks, no nonsense, no illusions - it's an authentic joint. Good to know someone is doing it right.

"Farmer's Field"

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I tried this place when it first opened and enjoyed it so much we decided to go back for my friend's 40th. We had a group of 10 , our bill was close to 2k. The food is mediocre, at best. Do yourself a favor, never order the "Farmer's Field" -unless you want to pay $30 for breadcrumbs and slimy mushrooms - picture attached for reference. The next day our server text one of the girls in our party saying that the manager wanted her to contact us so we can "return the picture we stole off the wall." Needless to say- we were shocked. We asked the server why they thought this and they said they have video footage of us taking a picture off the wall. We asked for the footage- but never received it. Shortly thereafter an Instagram reel we had created was shared to their Instagram account and captioned accusing us of stealing the picture! We immediately contacted them asking to take the post down to which they refused. The owners continue say that they have video footage of us but their story has changed numerous times . First they said they had us on video taking the picture then it was that we were hiding the picture under our coats and had the picture in a to-go bag, but have refused to provide any proof. Word of caution- stay far away!

Great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was fancy and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal and great vibes!

The Matcha Matcha Man was smooth, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink -- the matcha coconut cream with the ginger beer gave it such a unique refreshing kick. The Lady Marmalade tasted like sunshine in a glass with the perfect citrusy balance and just enough sweetness from the marmalade. The food menu is definitely more small plates/appetizer style, but honestly everything tasted super fresh and packed with flavor. The coconut shrimp were jumbo and crispy with the perfect sweetness, the mango habanero chicken bites super fresh, and the wagyu sliders disappeared embarrassingly fast. The real star though? The outdoor lounge setup overlooking the ocean. It's the kind of place where you go for "one drink" and suddenly it's three hours later and you're debating ordering another round just to stay for sunset.

Three friends and a lovely day at the beach. We went for dinner before heading back up north and…read moredecided to try someplace we've never been. Plenty of spots in the parking lot and easy to pay for 2 hours on the app - signs don't say what time the "meters" go off, but with 2 restaurants sharing the lot, we figured you probably have to pay until at least 8 pm, and we were early (5:30 ish). Got seated quickly, in a booth near a wide opening out to the beautiful patio on the water. Rather warm in the restaurant and there were overhead fans that weren't rotating, but it wasn't uncomfortable. We'd have had to wait a bit for an outdoor table, and anyway it was a hot humid day and night so indoors suited us just fine. One friend had the lobster bisque, served with a good chunk of a bread that looked tasty (she's not a bread lover but she enjoyed it so it must have been delicious) and she really liked the soup. Then she added another appetizer, spicy garlic shrimp. Generous portion of 6 shrimp. My other friend had the crabcake & shrimp plate, which came with a side salad that our waitress was savvy enough to bring first when our other friend was enjoying her soup. Some crumbled feta on the side salads, a nice touch. When she ordered, my friend asked if the crabcake had a lot of breading and our server assured her that it doesn't; that turned out to be accurate! I also got that side salad with the Ahi tuna bowl I ordered. This was a bowl of dry, bland white rice (might have been jasmine rice but not strong flavor). On one side atop the rice was a good portion of seaweed salad, which I love. Piled sort-of artistically on the other side of the rice mound were several small slices (6? 7?) of perfectly "black and blue" tuna crusted with both black and white sesame seeds. The fish and salad were delicious but not terribly filling. I ate most of the rice. I noticed that there was a marinade at the bottom and began to mix the rice with the marinade that was tasty. They do add 2.5% for credit cards, but that's fair enough these days. Entrées are on the pricey side, I thought ($39. for the crab/shrimp dish, 32 for my tuna, 12 for the lobster bisque), but there aren't any bargains dining out these days. We had no complaints, other than my somewhat dry rice. I'd like to give it 3 1/2 stars but will err on the generous side. We'll probably return next year on our beach day!

Well, I returned with my friend after we had a less than stellar visit previously…read more I think maybe don't have too many high expectations for the food and just come for beers and the view. We ordered the Margherita pizza. It was just okay, not bad but also just not delicious. Sauce was a little bland, like it was missing garlic or seasoning. The mussels were good however we had asked if they could be prepared without the chilies. We were told yes by our server (who was a dear really, she was great I don't really blame her for anything) that they could leave out the chilies. Well we ordered them and there was definitely chilies! My friend could not eat them at all. I like spicy and even my eyes were watering. I just question getting bread rolls served with the mussels when the usual service is sliced toasted bread. So, as I said, I think just temper your expectations. This place does have the beautiful view going for it.

My friend and I were in town for an event and looking for a place to grab an early dinner…read morebeforehand when I came across Moonstruck. The restaurant was located in a multi-floor home on Wesley Lake, just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Cookman Avenue. The first floor was more of a bar and lounge, and they had a live jazz band on the evening we visited. We checked in with the hostess and were escorted up to the second floor dining room, which was a charming spot that was breezy and comfortable, yet refined. The floor also had its own bar. Our server was on top of things, but was also clearly newer to the place. Regardless, once we got settled, she took our drink orders, which had taken us some time to decide on since the menu was creative and vast. I went with A Sidecar Named Desire, which included Courvoisier VSOP, Cointreau, Chinola passionfruit liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. I adore passion fruit and had always liked sidecars as well, so I figured it was worth a try, and I loved it! It had a good balance of tart sweetness and smokiness. My friend similarly enjoyed her spicy margarita, and we both imbibed while picking on some bread and herb butter. For our meal, we decided to start by sharing the Greek Salad, which was a massive bowl of romaine topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, red onions, and Kalamata olives. We left off the feta cheese, but enjoyed the seasoned dressing made of red wine vinegar, honey, salt, oregano, and olive oil. It was a fresh and flavorful mix of vegetables that was a pleasure to eat. The entree options were endless and offered something for everyone. I wound up going with the Chilean Sea Bass, which was served over sweet onions and potatoes in a tomato herb reduction. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked. It was a light and tasty dish that seemed perfect for the Spring season. After our meals we were a bit too full for dessert, but we decided to get a second round of drinks, mainly because I was dying to try their Pistachio Espresso-Tini. Wow, was that drink delicious! It blended Ketel One Vodka, Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur, natural pistachio flavor, and fresh espresso. The coffee notes were not super prevalent, but the creaminess, nuttiness was the real highlight. It was a decadent way to end a delicious meal. After we settled the bill and headed downstairs, I noticed several bowls of after-dinner mints, which were a nice touch. From the relaxed atmosphere to the interesting and expansive menu, Moonstruck was a terrific option for our Asbury dinner experience.

Our server, Michael, provided by far the worst service we've ever received. He appeared to be under the influence of something, as he spent long periods simply standing around making odd faces while our table and several others waited and waited for him to acknowledge us. We were left wondering if anyone was going to take care of us. When my husband politely asked about our meal, Michael became rude instead of apologetic or helpful. The food itself had good flavor, but it arrived cold, like it was not served right away, which was disappointing. To end the meal, we ordered a cappuccino, but it was so poorly made that it tasted like nothing but warm milk. It was completely undrinkable. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've always loved Moonstruck. It's been one of my favorite restaurants because of its excellent food and outstanding service. If this is the level of service the new owners are willing to accept, I worry about the restaurant's future. I truly hope management addresses these issues because Moonstruck has always been top notch!

The service was excellent throughout the entire evening, and every cocktail we ordered was fantastic. We started with a few appetizers, which were the perfect way to kick off the meal before diving into our mains. For dinner, we ordered the Duck Rice, Schnitzel, octopus, and mushroom skewer. While everything was delicious, the Duck Rice and Schnitzel were the clear standouts. Both were packed with flavor, and the Schnitzel was an especially generous portion without feeling over the top. It was perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying. To top off the night, we headed downstairs to their cocktail bar, Laylow, and had an amazing time.

We opted to sit at the bar because the vibe looked good. I had a lemondrop martini from the half price menu and it was good but a little too sweet. Then I had the Blood Sugar Sex Magic from the regular menu and it was unique and fun. I then had an espresso martini with dessert. I was feeling good after that. We did three appetizers: hummus, falafel, and the halloumi. The hummus had a nice texture but it could have used a little more lemon and garlic. But it was served with a jumble of fresh herbs on top which was very nice. The falafel was amazing. The texture was perfect: very crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. Not like the dense falafel you get in some places. It was serviced on top of a delicious red pepper sauce. The server told me it was an old family recipe. The halloumi was fantastic. Very generous and covered in a very crispy coating. It sat in a pool of hot honey. They brought the appetizers out one at a time, which was the perfect way to pace it. We were pretty full by the end so we shared one entrée. We had the lamb kofta. It was cooked perfectly and sat atop a pomegranate labneh. It was also delicious. For dessert my husband had the chocolate cake which was only ok. I had the baklava malabi which was sooo delicious. Great meal and excellent service. Paul the bartender was friendly and made good drinks.
