The restaurant…read morewasn't decorated for Christmas yet, but the vibe and ambiance were perfect--very classy and fun. Our servers were great, but I have to admit the food and drinks were just okay. I ordered a non-alcoholic frozen apple cider with vanilla cold foam, but the foam was nowhere to be found. The cider itself was good for what it was. The crab deviled eggs sounded amazing in theory but were disappointing, and the $25 price tag definitely added some regret. We also had oysters and the French onion soup, both of which hit the mark, along with a really tasty French onion rigatoni. The BD burger, however, was pretty average. I was excited for a birthday dessert, but was extremely let down to learn they only had two options left because they had run out of everything else... on a Friday at 7 PM. It seemed like they hadn't prepared for the weekend crowd at all. It was a disappointing way to end the meal and made my birthday memorable for the wrong reasons. Overall, we had a nice evening and I would return with adjusted food expectations.

I was surprised for a table of 5 there was no bread or salad offered but of course we could order and pay for it...and we had to order a double order of bacon and popovers since there were 5 of us. The food was good but nothing special...the best thing was when the chef invited the kids to the kitchen to make cotton candy. We did order 2 desserts for the table which came with 2 servers and 1 candle ...and the bill came to about $350.00 with out drinks. I waited a year and a half to save up for this dinner as we really wanted to go there. On a Friday night the restaurant was not busy at all.

The portions are big which is nice. You are definitely getting what you pay for! The place itself was really cute. We were sat in a big booth surrounded by different types of tvs playing all different kinds of sports! Overall I think this is a great place to go out, or take your family/friends to if you guys are trying out a new place like we were! PS: I REALLY loved the sushi sandwich. So so good. Also, the taquitos were so delicious too!

My fiancee got the steak sandwich which was flavorful and cooked nicely. We also shared the loaded potato soup which was cheesy and comforting. Service was exceptional. Our waitress and the manager checked in a few times to make sure everything was to our liking. They also had great football deals which I'd love to try next time. Would definitely go back!

This place consistently knocks it out of the park with service, food, and atmosphere. Ryan behind the bar is a standout. He treats us like regulars from day one--always greeting us with a smile and delivering truly top-tier service. He's a big part of what makes the whole experience feel so warm and welcoming. And the food? Never the same experience twice in the best way possible. The menu and specials are always evolving, always leveling up, and it keeps things exciting every time we come back. Not once have we been disappointed. Everyone can have an off night--but this place seems to have cracked the code on consistency and excellence. Honestly, you could throw a dart at the menu and still walk away impressed. Already looking forward to the next visit!

Here for Mother's Day…read more This place is a disaster. I came here once and sat at the bar with a client, had a glass of wine and the steak sandwich and it was great. This time, not so good. I know the business partners are in some lawsuit about real estate and golf and such. Tried to valet. Then said, he you can park yourself. They said it's ok, we aren't here that long anyway. Said ok. Walked inside, wouldn't let my parents sit down if the full party wasn't here. Thought that was weird as this place is less than half empty yet all reservations are booked. Sat down and the staff started moving fake bushes around, like a wall to separate us from another party, it was a comedy of errors I have never experienced Took forever to get drinks with super weak pours. Lots of people walking around doing nothing with ear pieces in. The music in the dining room sounds like I am in Belmar. Slow service- for way over priced for average food at best. 2nd round came out way late without my glass of wine and when asked can I get another wine, she looked at me like I was the jerk. Food came out late and was cold. This place is gone in a year. Beautiful place, doesn't fit around here. Overpriced and average at best. The bar is good but watching the people in the front dining room is bizarre. Lots of people standing around doing nothing but dressed nice. When we checked in it took 3 hostesses to figure out where to sit us in an empty restaurant and all looked confused. How many hostesses does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Bizarre day. Took forever to get dessert. No one is here. Again not sure what is going on but the club music keeps playing with empty tables and more employees than guests. I would have died to go to The Brothers in RB instead of this. The food and service are way better by a million miles.

I did order a pina colada and it was delicious and you are allowed to bring your own food and snacks so definitely do that. We drove and were able to park in the lot. The lot was way more crowded than the sand was, strangely. I thought there would be way more people but it was pretty light. Lots of families so definitely family friendly. They have chairs that many people were taking and sitting on in the water. Lots of picnic tables and areas to sit at. The water is really calm. It's a bay. So you can walk pretty far out and won't be knocked over by any waves. People were playing catch and just having a great time playing in the calm and cool water. It was fun. It wasn't a bad drive from New York so I'd recommend driving if you got the time.

There is a parking lot across the street you can park at so no need to worry about street parking. The first thing I noticed was that this location was much smaller than the New Brunswick location and had a more chill vibe. I thought the happy hour menu had less selection as well. I was low-key disappointed there were no clams or oysters on the menu considering we are much closer to the shoreline. My husband loved his smashburger, it was very juicy. He also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which he normally doesn't like. My wings have the perfect amount of sauce where it didn't drown the wing and it was still a big crispy. We were in and out within the hour so service was fast on a Tuesday night. But I think we are going to stick with the New Brunswick branch.

Despite the fact that this…read moreSpecial offering is listed on their website, we were told that those prices were no longer in effect and would not be honored! (Is that legal? It's certainly not ethical!) We were charged approx TWICE as much for the Website listed 'Special' tacos! They certainly were special-E'special'ly expensive! We asked to speak with the manager who indicated that she didn't even know that this 'Special' was still on their website. At that point (and in good faith), she should have offered us something as compensation! When told that they do not carry a common beverage-BLUE MOON, the waitress suggested giving me a similar beer and offered a 'taste test'. I could not tell if I liked the sample cause the shot glass had SO LITTLE beer in it-offering me NO TASTE at all. We also ordered chips, plantains, and salsa as an appetizer. For the cost of $14.00, I assumed it would contain enough chips for three people and might even be an unlimited supply. There were approx 15 chips on the plate and 6 plantains-which were tasteless. But think about it!? 15 taco chips for three people to the tune of $14.00?! They should be embarrassed! By 7:30, this restaurant was almost empty. We have been there several times over the years, but this place has deteriorated, in many ways, and we will no longer patronize this establishment!
