    Tuna tarta
    Jeannette M.

    Birthday dinner at this beautiful restaurant. A cute birthday card was left on my table. Beautiful, well stocked bar. Service was good. Waiter was super sweet. Parking on the street. We started with an Old Fashioned and a Metropolitan. For apps we ordered the tuna tartar with little pieces of orange and homemade crackers. Super delicious, fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and great taste. We also ordered the bread servuce, and strawberry and burrata salad. For dinner, we ordered the steak and frites and the black bass over fingerline potatoes. We ordered a side of peas, bacon, and onions. Everything was just delicious. Portions were perfect. To end the evening, we shared a brownie sundae with brown butter ice cream. You could taste the nutty flavor of the brown butter. Great combination together. The waiter added a candle to celebrate my birthday. Great for a romantic dinner or dinner with family or friends.

    Steak Frites
    Bridgette S.

    5 stars for ambiance alone I couldn't possibly recommend this place for a date night more. It's sexy & dark, yet so cozy & welcoming. Absolutely make a reso and come early for a martini at the bar. The bartenders are so friendly, kind & attentive and their martini menu is chef's kiss! For dinner we enjoyed the tuna tartare with citrus (omfg delicious), escargot which were perfect and so plump, steak frites & the lasagna. I never ever order lasagna out but did because of the reviews and we both agreed -- that dish took the cake! Absolute #1. Talking about cake ... we got creme brulee and the basque cheesecake with passion fruit curd and WOW dream dessert. Literally 10/10 anniversary dinner we had such a lovely time. Will be back ‍

    River Pointe Inn is a fabulous restaurant in Rumson. The service is excellent with highly knowledgeable and attentive staff. The bread service is 9 dollars for 2 baguettes. I enjoyed the spinach salad as I thought each ingredient paired well together. The dressing with the bacon, goat cheese, spinach and the apple really made for a nice blend of sweet and salty. The mashed potatoes weee delicious with a nice crust on the top with a buttery flavor. The burger was good with tasty fries but I feel like I played the safe option for dinner. I will be back and I'll have to try something that isn't a hamburger. Nonetheless, I would recommend this place.

    Excellent! My wife and I had a great meal! I started with the Yellowfin Tuna Meunière which was very good, she had the Barnegat Oysters and loved them. Her entree was the pork chop; she gave it a 4/5. My fluke was excellent. The place was decked out for the holidays and quite busy, but our service was prompt and helpful.

    $35 hunk of cheese
    Cristie P.

    If you enjoy overpaying and leaving a restaurant hungry this is your place! My friend and I both like the 2 other restaurants by the same owner. We decided to try this one next as a treat to celebrate both of our birthdays. I knew this one was a bit more pricey but expected more decadence or a more upscale feel. We ended up underwhelmed, disappointed and hungry. Also not sure why this restaurant is classified as French. Our $35 lasagna was a small hunk of cheese. Her $21 drink was watery. Our waitress was very nice and the bar area looks very nice. If I ever returned I'd go to the bar for a $14 martini. It was $21 because we sat at a table. We opted not to go for a $21 dessert. This was just not worth it.

    The amazing bouillabaisse
    Carmine M.

    Ok so yes I have reviewed this restaurant multiple times. Why? Over 50 years of dining out , one of the most basic elements of the sign of a great restaurant is consistency. Today most restaurants are hit or miss Not here. I've dined here over a dozen times this year and have found it not only to be consistent, but also innovative Superb we'll trained staff, great ambiance and spectacular cocktails all come together to support the absolutely delicious food selections Most recently, the sensational team of Ian and Caitlin provided us with a perfect meal situated in the new outdoor garden, which I must say was thoughtfully designed to be as visually appealing as well as functional We had our standard cocktail ( the salt air) what a drink! The gem salad .. so crisp and fresh as well as the tuna tartare which I found to be a no BS tartare. It's not disguised by over flavoring, not cut with avacado just simply hand cut sup quality tuna presented on ice. Perfectly fresh and light The Friday special of bouillabaisse is absolutely second to none! I've had this dish in numerous restaurants yet this one stole my heart. Served piping hot . Along with a serving of the most enticing mashed potatoes made for a perfect combo The walnut carrot cake .. an excellent finish All told I truly feel this restaurant is perhaps the finest in Nj that I have been to Carry on River point!

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.

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.

    We chose B2 Bistro in Red Bank to enjoy their Tuesday Taco night. 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!
