We had a wonderful lunch at Pearl at the Oyster Point Hotel today. Bridget was our server and she couldn't have been more attentive and warm. We started with sharing the shrimp cocktail appetizer. We ordered 6 to share and they were very tasty and fresh... a little on the small side for $4.95 each. But then our salads came and wow... they were both packed with proteins! I had the Salmon Cobb salad which was really good... fresh and tons of protein. Besides a large piece of grilled salmon was feta, hard boiled egg, avocado, chickpeas and so many other great ingredients. I left off the bacon. My husband had the asian steak and avocado salad and he ate every morsel. His also packed a protein punch and he loved it. It was his birthday so we had to celebrate with a delicious blueberry almond frost pint dessert. It was in a parfait cup and filled with lots of yummy treats ... whipped cream, crushed almond biscotti, blueberry compote and vanilla ice cream too... so good. We loved the ambiance and the atmosphere and staring out at the Navesink can't be beat. While we ate our meal indoors, you can also eat al fresco and I'd suggest a reservation for busy times just in case. It's the restaurant inside of the Oyster Point Hotel. read more

Beautiful views from this restaurant. Right along the Navasink river. I'd recommend coming around sunset as the view then was lovely. Service was attentive and friendly. Our food arrived quickly. Food was solid and good. The swordfish was a substantial piece, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. They have a bourbon flight and offer a smoked bourbon option. Food tips: Swordfish read more

The freshest and most amazing oysters! Love how they explain the source and wine pairing. Busy place so make reservations!

View 10/10 Waitstaff 10/10 Salad w/ Grilled Shrimp 9/10 NY Strip Steak 1/10 The waitress was attentive and sweet. Out with my 5 year old daughter so the last thing I was about to do was alert her to anything subpar. The waitress saw the issue immediately, she decided to attempt to bring it back to the kitchen but had to come back to the table to pretend the steak was medium and not literally burnt, dry and over well. Beautiful view, great waitstaff, salad with grilled shrimp was great but that steak has to be the worst in the state. Sad due to the ambiance and potential at the Pearl, somebody needs to check in on quality control and staff rapport. read more

Pearl restaurant located at Oyster Point hotel. They serve breakfast, lunch , and dinner with a intimate atmosphere. Also has a full bar and live music in the evenings. It's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your meal or even just a few drinks. There's an area more romantic to me, that has a fireplace on, with tables to enjoy your dining. Service from breakfast, to service at the bar was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious, I had eggs Benedict and my spouse had French toast with succulent glaze with banana's, both came out hot and tasted absolutely delicious. We even visited the bar one night for a few drinks before going to a show in town, service was amazing and the live music made it feel more intimate. Losing 1 star, due to the bar area being closed before 10pm on a Saturday night. My group after our show wanted to have a few drinks to end the evening, and they were all closed. Besides that, this place is just spectacular. read more

This is a beautiful location and restaurant. It's right on the water with beautiful views. However, that's where my praise ends. The food was subpar. Half of our entrees came out together but then the other half of the tables entrees didn't come out. I had to go tell them that we didn't get our food. Three people ordered the burgers cooked medium to well done. All came out rare. They were mostly left uneaten. It's a shame if such beautiful restaurant location fails because food wasn't good. I highly recommend they get a new chef immediately!!! read more

While in Red bank for a family wedding, we decided on Pearl for dinner--it was just a 5 minute walk from our hotel. We have been to Oyster Point many times for functions--but never for a "regular" dinner. What a delight. Terrific, creative food. Great cocktails. Outstanding service. An added bonus--it was Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. We enjoyed a wonderful, 3-course meal for a very reasonable price. read more

wait staff kind, inexperienced and left without management to run a restaurant. food was SALTY! overcooked to the point that some meals were not edible. The veggies undercooked, a steak knife was required to Cut them. the meals came out 1 at a time, some meals finished or just not able to enjoy (so they went to waste) before some meals were served. Wrong meals prepared and served , so let's not mention how long that took to correct. When management was contacted the next day he was on the defense, and basically did not care! This was not my first time at the oyster point for events and dinners, but let me tell you I'll never go there again and I will never suggest for anyone to go there. read more

Ate there many times. Food was always great. BUT last few times not so. Unfortunately, the quality of the food is down and the new chef they have is not so good when I complained about my dinner, even a waitress said it must be the new chef. Which I believe it is, but it seems like the Quality is not there anymore. Also, the waitress was very unattended such a small place that we barely seen her. read more

The girls and I got together to get brunch here. When I arrived I seen the Oyster Hotel but not the restaurant. I walked into the hotel and seen the restaurant inside. Patti who was our server sat us indoors. We ordered and for my meal I got the chicken sandwich with fries. When the food came out the burgers were massive. My friends enjoyed their sandwiches. The chicken sandwich was very tasty and filling. The fries were ok. The food at this establishment was very good. We enjoyed our experience. read more

First timer, Mothers Day Lunch with friends and family. I made reservations a month ahead. Great location and lovely view of the Navesink River. Lovely place!! Server was a delightful welcoming lady. She made our experience very memorable. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. My table was a table of 4. Drinks were well crafted. My husband and son ordered and loved the smoked bourbon cocktail. My daughter ordered mojito. She loved it as well. We ordered 2 Oyster Pointed Baked Oyster, lobster soup, and 10 raw clams. Everything was delicious. The sea salt with the black and red peppercorn over the oysters were phenomenal. For lunch, we ordered dark beer very tender short rib with blue and white baked potatoes, perfectly charred asparagus, and fried breaded ribboned red onions. My son got the huge steakhouse burger. Yes I had a pc. It was so darn good. I'll go back just tho have it. We also ordered Asian steak &salad and casarecce pasta with shrimp. On top of that we had the waffle cup gelato- vanilla and cinnamon ice cream!! Highly recommend dining here!! You will not be disappointed!! See pictures !! read more

Very disappointing...drove 2 1/2 hours to eat here. Came for Sunday brunch. Menu was different than one they had posted on their website only a few day earlier so missed out on one of the items that we had selected them for. Burger ordered medium, came well and was dry. Shrimp po boy had 4 shrimp, a third of the bread only had lettuce and tomato in it. Works out t o $5 a shrimp. Bread just ok, not po boy style. Service lacking. Asked a waiter t o have the burger sliced in half. Ten minutes later still had not returned. A minute after that, same waiter came back and asked if "we were ready for our burger". By then fries a loss. Place is attractive but food is not their strong point read more

Food and service were atrocious and it was stupid expensive for really bad food. The view is the only thing this place has going for it.

This place is pretty fucking sick. Staff was super nice especially our server Ronnie. Lobster roll was good mahi mahi taco was really fucking good and a pretty good burger. Shoutout Ronnie again 5 stars read more

Yesterday was my second visit to Pearl. I got the Monte Cristo sandwich which was amazing. The coleslaw was too vinegary for my sister and I, but the fries were good. Our server being friendly and attentive coupled with the amazing views from inside the restaurant left for a great experience. The coffee after lunch is a necessity- so good. We will be returning. read more

Great location and view from the deck. Hostess and server were great. First time for a birthday brunch for wife. Hew burrata salad was great but my eggs Benedict were disappointingly sub par! I have had much better at our local diner. Maybe they were having a bad day. You have to do better. It came with home style potatoes that were cold and seemed like they had been sitting around foe a while. Even the eggs were not warm. Overall it seemed that they served me a plate that was pre-prepared and sitting on the counter for a while. Had hoped to have a great experience but was thoroughly disappointed with my dish, I am sorry to say. I will also stay away from their pearl cocktail that was too spicy for me but others may love it. Would I go there again? Probably, for the view. read more

The seafood appetizer is beautiful and delectable!!! There are many options in Red Bank, but for a truly magnificent view of the Navesink River and high quality food and beverages, this is a place you should try!!! Service is polite and friendly, and if you are in the mood for dessert, try the lemon molten cake- Delicious! read more

I was here yesterday with my husband and two family members visiting from Calif. I used to have breakfast and lunch here frequently and always thought the food, prices, service and view was great. Yesterday however, was terrible. Firstly, the menu on the Internet was not the same as the one we were given. We all had been looking at getting the lobster rolls which were no longer offered. The prices seemed to have doubled and we waited for our food for over 30 minutes. I ended up ordering the avocado and flank steak salad and the meat was all fat. I should have sent it back right away and ordered something different but I plowed through as I didn't want to hold us up as we had to get to the airport. When I mentioned all of this to the waiter, he just looked at me and said they are not the best with keeping the website up to date and then just took my plate away. Never sent a manager or chef over to talk to us and just gave us the bill. When we left and waited for a valet person to come up, we were told he stepped out and would be back in a while....wait, what? We grabbed our keys from the front desk and left. We were not the only ones experiencing this lack of communication and service. What a disappointment.....I used to love this place. read more

A group of us had a lovely meal (and view!!) at the Pearl last night. We were given the option to eat outside or in, normally I would always choose outside but it was incredibly hot out, so they sat us inside right at the window with a beautiful view of the Navesink River. Several of us had the Asian Steak & Avocado Salad and we were all very pleased. My husband had the Cape Cod Clam Kettle and was very happy as well. The service was great and the view was spectacular. And we were told they have live music in the bar on the deck above on Thursday nights! read more

My sincere advice, consider another restaurant first! o - We had a 2 HOUR WAIT FOR OUR FOOD! There were empty tables as well o - The restaurant was so cold that people were waring coats in the dining room. Outside temperatures were in the 40s. o - The entertainment had electronically amplified instruments and we could barely talk to each other located far from the band! There is no sound dampening walls, floor or seating to absorb echo's. If the kitchen staff is not capable of handling the size of the dining room why not remove tables and not overbook the place? I understand they manage the Molly Pitcher as well. In my opinion for the price YOU CAN DO BETTER than this place! read more

Had a very nice brunch. Our large party of 12 was given our own private room and gracious server, Ronnie. Food was all pretty good - crab cakes, salads, crispy Brie bites. The brioche French toast was swimming in syrup and bananas, which some of us liked but others thought it was too much syrup (ask for it on the side if concerned). The short rib melt was tasty, though the short ribs weren't the least bit tender. All the deserts were really very good. The kitchen ran slow, but hey, there's still a pandemic, cut restaurants some slack. And of course the view is fantastic. read more

Love love love Pearl! I have been here many times and the owners are so incredibly pleasant and truly treat you like family. The food is always fresh, delicious and authentic. Sweet little Nonna makes the pasta homemade and I absolutely love when I see her there and I get to chat with her. This place is a true Gem! Keep it up guys! read more

Seared Scallops with tuxedo orzo. Excellent presentation and taste. I had the pork Chop and yam. For dessert we had baked Alaska and banana creme brulee along with cappuccino.this is an upscale American cuisine restaurant. 21 years ago we were here and I got engaged. The food was great then and awesome now. Today it was Marty's birthdays celebration read more

I stayed in the hotel and it just seemed logical to eat here. Dinner was great and the staff was very attentive. The menus was very limited which is my only issue. I still enjoyed a nice evening looking over the water. Did the same for breakfast in the morning read more

We dined at the Pearl b/c we got married at the Oyster Point five years ago. My husband had the swordfish and I had the salmon and both meals were cooked to perfection. It was a 10 out of a 10 meal including the ambiance, floating ducks and servers. We will be there again and bring more friends. read more

This restaurant has a great location! The food is mediocre and very expensive-I had a mojito, that tasted nothing like a mojito times are hard, staff were quite pleasant- but I feel like we threw our money in the Navesink River- sad- overcooked burgers, worst tacos-$24 !!!!!disappointing! It was a family dinner, won't return read more

We had the most wonderful Christmas Day dinner at the Pearl restaurant at the Oyster Point Inn. The dining room was gorgeous with a wall of windows overlooking the Navesink River. Our party of seven was seated right in front of the window, and everyone had a beautiful view. The host at the front desk was extremely polite and courteous and seemed to sincerely appreciate our business. Our waiter, Ronnie, was truly a pleasure, attentive, responsive, friendly and trustworthy in giving us advice on the dishes, and treated my elderly mother with compassion. Each course was wonderful and worth every penny. My family raved over the robust shrimp cocktail, the large and flavorful crab cakes, brie bites, salad. The entrees were all excellent and we tried all but the pork. The ginger snap cheesecake, creme brulee and pear cobbler were also beautiful. We me er felt rushed. We were all so impressed with the quality of the setting, service and food that we made reservations then and there for Christmas Day dinner 2022. read more

Two stars because the steak burger was really good, and the venue happens to be quite nice. However, the ceviche at $17 was a total ripoff--the main reason being that the serving was so small it could almost not be tasted, and I love ceviche. read more

This is a small restaurant that is part of the Oyster Point Hotel. It's a great place for a quiet breakfast in the morning during the mid-week. Can't beat the view and the food is good. It's just a few dollars more than other breakfast places in town but generally comparable. When I want some peace and quiet (and don't want to pay extra for parking in town), this is where I go. Ask for Ronnie, he'll take care good of you! read more
