    Seafood Risotto
    Deana B.

    Rosie's is the best! The food, drinks and service are top notch. I love that you can start or end in the bar area with TVs but dine in the dining room for a nice sit down dinner. Drinks and wine by the glass are very reasonably priced and they have a great selection. The dinner menu has something for everyone and they always have specials. Servers are knowledgeable, attentive and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. For example, even though we didn't order dessert, they brought out a little dessert with a sparkler for a birthday. There are a mix of dates, families and large groups so you can really come here for any occasion and I would definitely recommend that you do.

    I went with my dad for dinner a few weekends ago and had a really great experience. This is hands down his favorite place to eat in the area. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. We sat at the bar and had fun chatting with the bartenders and other guests while we ate. It was such a lovely dinner out!

    The food was great! I had the short rib with mash and subbed the asparagus for broccolini. It was a nice portion size. My fiancé had the halibut which was also a nice serving and was quite delicious. We had shared a few apps including the tuna on crispy rice (average) and the bang bang shrimp (great) we also got the scallops over rizzo for an app and they were pretty good! Mike, our server was very attentive and accurate. No dish was messed up at our table for 8. We had a nice window seat in the corner upstairs which was scenic and the Resturant itself was very lively. Only negative I would say is that we valeted the car and had to awkwardly walk thru the bar room which I believe there is another entrance but I'm not 100% sure. 5 min wait for the table which is not bad for a table of 8. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos. I would definitely go back though.

    Everything at Rosie's was spectacular! Definitely recommend reservations on the weekend as it gets busy. Appetizer had coconut shrimp, such big tasty fresh shrimp! The special wasabi crusted Chilean sea bass was great, lightly fried and perfect amount of spice. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Noise level does get loud on a busy Saturday night.

    Pork chop - sooo good!

    Everything at Rosie's was fantastic! The atmosphere is modern beachy and we came here for a birthday celebration with 4 people. Service was quick and very friendly. Casual - fancy dress. Food was fantastic! The coconut shrimp was soooo good and tasted fresh. I had a great pork chop for dinner, seasoned and flavored perfectly. The waiter said it was sous vide style which made it tender and moist. One of the best restaurants I've tried in this area.

    First time here. Let me tell I will be back again. Everything was delicious. Server was very attentive. Lighting was perfect.

    Bread

    I am impressed!! The food is delicious and the establishment is beautiful inside. I lived in the area my entire life but this was my first time dining at Rosie's. For appetizers, we tried the honey whipped ricotta, lobster mac & cheese, coconut shrimp and the French onion soup. All were incredible. The star of the show is the BREAD! It is so incredibly soft, warm and tasty. Everyone also raved about the entrees. We got two of the specials (short ribs and steak) and they were fantastic. Our server was attentive and kind. The food and drinks all came out pretty quick. Great experience!

    Cookie's homemade pignoli pie..... A must get!!!!
    Priscilla M.

    What a gem! Love the specials cocktails & the short rib pasta is one of my favs. Tried the fabulous greeter Cookie's homemade pignoli pie for dessert! Absolute perfection! Server was super cool & decor reminds me of back home in NYC! Can't wait to come back!

    Desserts

    Our party of 5 absolutely LOVED everything about this restaurant! We had bacon corn mascarpone ravioli and pork belly for appetizers, and they were really delicious! Our entrees were short ribs, pork chops and ribeye steak. For dessert we had creme brûlée, tiramisu, and chocolate chip cookie with salted caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream. We had a wonderfully attentive waitress and had excellent service. We are definitely going back again!!!

    Cute little fish shanty by the water in Point Pleasant. The food was great and the service was…read morefriendly. This has a great low-key vibe with a real fishing type of decor. The area is great. We had a lobster roll, New England clam chowder, Manhattan clam chowder, swordfish bites, and brussels sprouts, with bacon and Parmesan, and two unsweetened iced teas. Everything was wonderful. We highly recommend the swordfish bites, they were literally fantastic. You can sit inside or outside, we opted for outside because they had shady little nooks where you could sit that had fans and it was so cool and comfortable. I could've sat there for hours. This is a BYOB. We had also visited the other point lobster house that is in the walkable town a few blocks away and that is a bar so it's not a BYOB. Just something to keep in mind the spot that's by the water you need to bring your own wine.

    Point Lobster is in a great spot right on the water, and the outdoor seating makes it a nice place…read moreto relax. The location and atmosphere were probably the best part of our visit. I ordered the hot lobster roll, and while it was decent, I've definitely had better. It just didn't have the flavor I was expecting, especially considering the price. My wife had the fish sandwich special, and she felt the same , it was okay, but nothing memorable. Overall, the food was average, and we both thought it was a little overpriced for what we got. If you're already in Point Pleasant, it's a convenient place to grab a bite and enjoy the waterfront, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

(Don't waste ur time) Came back over the bridge to the mainland and luckily our absolutely favorite restaurant was able to seat us without a reservation. It was around 8pm. Always a great experience from food, to service, to calm ambiance . Everything we ordered was off the specials menu & as always nothing disappointed. Starters-AMAZING crab cakes as well as chicken liver mousse (definitely a 1st for us to try but was absolutely fantastic!) on grilled crostini with apricot habanero jam--yum! Entrees-Asian style filet mignon which hubby crushed & pan cooked halibut which was tender & delicious. Thanks for another great anniversary dinner Rue! BYOB is a nice bonus

I looked through a lot of reviews and read between the lines , any bad ones really seemed to be on the reviewer their self. And luckily I was right. We ordered a little of everything. They even customized the clams to my dad's liking and gave him extra for his birthday. Usually there is one dish that is meh. But there wasn't. Each dish was better than the last! Our favorite standouts was the Clams Oreganata, the Tomahawk, Brussel Spouts, Crab Cakes, Salmon, and the Spicy Rigatoni. But mushrooms, Bouilbasse and everything else was still friggin amazing. Highly recommend. As my dad said at 90. I've been in NJ since I was in my 40s. This is the best restaurant I've had in the state.
