Small to medium venue within the Asbury Convention hall. Metered Street parking where you can find it. Dim lit bar with a decent menu & good beer selection. "Outdoor" seating too, which literally that. Additional seating outside of the doors, as it is all indoors, lol. Chill bar staff, & local drink spot vibes. Seating only at the bar, otherwise is standing bar tables. I had the Lobster Roll, which comes w/fries & onion rings. Everything was ok, it'll get the job done in a pinch. Also had a local beer called 'Sea Dragon,' which was great. Grades: Lobster Roll: B- Asbury Park Sea Dragon: A read more

We went to asbury for the Holiday Bazaar at the convention center and came across the holiday pop-up and the Seahorse. Cute spot in convenient location. Drink themes were really fun. Didn't try the food but enjoyed our time. read more

NOT a good choice. The food was bad, the drinks weren't good, the service took forever. We should have known that it was a bad choice considering there was no one else there. read more

Although off season, there was a vendor fair at the convention center so it was very busy. We stopped for a lunch. The pork on the Mac and cheese was good, but the Mac n cheese was like soup and had zero flavor. We specifically asked if the pierogis were deep fried or sautéed and was assured they were not deep fried. Well they were absolutely deep fried and dry. The patty melt was on barely toasted bread, not grilled. The mozzarella sticks were good. The service was okay, the server was didn't have good personal space understanding and stood less than inches from us. read more

Friendly staff. Excellent service. The food is good. Reasonable prices. Great drinks.

We really enjoyed this place! It was the first restaurant we went to since COVID and we were glad we decided to sit and eat. The staff were all wearing masks, seating people a good distance apart (outside at the time), and walking around cleaning tables and making an obvious effort to be as hygienic as possible. As a patron I really appreciated seeing this. Our food was really good too. Loved the oysters and Buffalo cauliflower bites... so good. I had some kind of tuna sandwich thing (I can't exactly remember now)... but it was so good! My husband had some steak that he enjoyed a lot also. The seating outside had a wonderful view of the ocean and the staff were friendly and attentive. It was a great experience. We miss eating out like we used to, and it was nice to enjoy a restaurant and still feel safe! read more

Listen, the main thing this place has going for it is solid food and a great location and view. But the service leaves much to be desired! We were a big party of seven people. Our server took our full order (drinks *and* food) all at once, without writing anything down or running through the order to confirm before putting it in. We were all very impressed at the time. We were significantly less impressed when our food came and two people had missing meals. I can absolutely understand how the server messed up -- he didn't write anything down, there were a lot of us, and the music was pretty loud. But then... maybe write orders down? Or confirm before you go put everything in? The server never came by to check on us after the food came, so we had to flag down a food runner and note our two missing items. When the missing food came 20 minutes later (after everyone else was finished eating), there was no apology or acknowledgement that there had been a mistake or that we'd had to wait. We were ready to just leave and be done until it came time to pay. We gave the server two cards and asked for an even split. He returned the cards to us... and he had run one card twice and one not at all. When I tracked him down and raised the issue, once again, no apology. I suggested that he take off one or two of the food items that had been forgotten, and his response was, "...but you got them eventually, right?" He fixed the card issue, but did not comp or adjust the total for the meal in any way. I get that it was a busy weekend day, but a sincere apology from the server for either of the two issues would have gone a long way. I'd hesitate to go back again, although I admit the location of literally right off of the beach is pretty clutch. read more

This is a new restaurant that was formerly The Anchor's Bend. The layout is still the same, they still have the beach bar which is nice. The drink menu looks the same but they've changed the food menu. I tried the filet mignon sandwich. I really wanted to like this sandwich but it tasted bland, something was missing. It came with a side of carrot slaw and pickles. We ordered a side of fries which were really good. I'd probably come back to have some drinks because the view is nice. Don't know if I'd return for another meal. read more

I wanted to start off by saying that I'm glad this place has outdoor seating and beach seating that allows dogs. They even gave the bigger dogs that we were with bowls with some water. Here are pros and cons as to what I liked and disliked from this place. Pros: * Outdoor seating * Dog friendly + water bowle * Nice view * Oysters were delicious * Food was great Cons: * Peach sangria pitcher is like 75% ice * Drinks are too small * Pickles are disgusting ( I love pickles! ) * Coleslaw amount was disgustingly small. read more

Located in Convention Hall, Seahorse is just an average restaurant. Yes, it's cool to be in Asbury Park the last few years since the town's renaissance, but this venue is just an average waterfront watering hole. The staff is very nice and helpful though. The food is just ok. Prices are ok too. read more

Two stars for the convenience. Get something canned or bottled here. This place is great for that. Guac is gross. Chips are old. The pico de gallo... well, it just wasn't. Y'all, they can't even get gin and tonic right, I kid you not. read more

Oh come on! Great food, great brew...even a great view! Whaddya want? Ask for Crosby...he'll point you in the right direction! read more

The service was fast food was just ok nothing great. Would stop by for a quick bite again

Absolutely horrible customer service from the moment the hostess gave an attitude and rolled her eyes at us when we walked up. The place was just about empty aside and our drink order for a glass of wine and a Bloody Mary took a very long time. When I finally arrived I was told that they did not have the wine on their menu actually in stock so the took the liberty of substituting some House hooch instead without even asking me. We decided not to order any more drinks and to get out of there as soon as we could, and when I asked for the check, I proceeded to pay in cash with $100 bill and was told by the waitress that we don't have change for 100 so I was forced to get up out of the restaurant and go walk around the arcade finding somebody to make change for $100, what a horrible experience I won't be back ever but I'm sure this place won't last long with service and staff treating customers like crap!

Kind of stumped across this place while going through the convention hall. Super friendly staff and service and very good brunch menu. Great location. Will be back! read more

Had visited several times in the past I and had good experiences. This time the food was awful. As soon as they stopped allowing dogs, the food went downhill. I recommend Kim Marie's instead. You can bring your pup there and they have a dog menu. read more

All about the view!!! The menu sounds upgraded and promising. I tried the crab napoleon small plate special. It looked impressive BUT it was $18 and had no absolutely flavor. The wine blah. So $27 that was definitely not worth it. Maybe stick with a burger. The waitress is lovely! So the stars are for the waitress and the view. read more

This restaurant is dog friendly and located in the convention hall which is super cute. It makes for a unique and scenic experience with your pup. I will say I like cocktails more than the food. I got a mistletoe margarita which was like summer in a cup. So tasty delicious for a December day. I for chorizo Mac and cheese which was alright but not something I'd get again. I would go back and try something else on the menu though read more

Order: Me : Short rib cheesesteak rum bucket Girlfriend : fish n chips w|some drink lol Pros: asbury park board walk, the cheesesteak was nothing special but the rum bucket is always a hit, I tried some of my girls fish and chips which was surprisingly good Cons: it's good boardwalk food but it isn't like restaurant material if that's what your looking for, it wasn't summer yet Overall: the staff was pretty attentive especially the younger man who seemed to be very infused with the business, gave us a great vibe welcomed us back hopefully he remembers us. Drinks are way better than the food!! read more

Seahorse - Supposed to be Hummus w/ Feta Cheese, Fresh Herbs & Olive Oil w/ pita. No fresh herbs & no drizzle of olive oil. $14. Disappointing. - Bars Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

absolutely outrageous four 50 year-old women walk in and they would not let us in because we didn't have our ID. it's a restaurant, we were eating and not drinking and they still would not let us in. It's an absolute disgrace. Any restaurant in New Jersey should serve people without an ID. Will never go there again! to the Owner by the way, we were starving and you missed out on probably a $200 bill read more

This rating is specifically for the outside bar that overlooks the beach area. The bartenders are good and so was the drinks; however the table service was lousy. The server completely ignored our table the entire night even when we asked for food and service. And it was intentional. The bartender assisted us instead. Would never recommend this place to anyone for that reason. The food was okay but nothing great. read more

First the good - the view is really nice and the service is quick! The rest: I ordered the Poke - presentation was fair though not at all traditional. Cucumbers were thickly sliced and mushy. The tuna was supposed to be 'fresh' but after one bite I sent it back - fishiest tasting tuna ever: perhaps safe to cook - certainly not ok to serve raw. I was reminded that Poke is raw despite the fact that I was wearing a shirt from the sugar mill on Oahu that clearly said in large letters 'Waialua' - that condescension was enough to prompt the review. Don't serve fish that ain't fresh raw! Overall, if you want drinks and don't mind the price gouge, it's not a bad place. I would not eat there. read more

I could see how this food wouldn't be bad after a day at the beach, but with so many incredible options in AP this restaurant just doesn't hold up. Food is quite salty but bland. When we went, they were out of many things, for example 3 beers we tried to order and a few apps. read more

Great atmosphere and staff! So friendly when recommending menu items, Seahorse Margarita is amazing!!! read more

Seahorse - a row of picnic tables with red umbrellas - Bars Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I wavered between 3 and 4 stars due to the guacamole and chips (chips were lovely but the guacamole was just avocado paste sprinkled with onions, peppers and tomatoes), but when our server shared her stash of personal bug spray I was won over (depending on which way the wind is blowing, flies biting your ankles is a possibility). We sat outside overlooking the beach for people and wave watching which was ideal. Drinks came promptly and are solid for the price, while the lobster salad and steak sandwich were both quite nice and well seasoned. An ideal spot to grab lunch or a few drinks while enjoying the beach and boardwalk of Asbury. read more

Place STINKS! Food, service, ambiance. There's a reason this restaurant group sold their portfolio

Decor is so so. Half price apps and beer. I'm happy. Stopped in on a cold day. Down by the beach in Asbury Park with snow all over the ground but this place is inside the building right off the water. The service was fabulous. The menu limited. BUT they had the best French fries. Chowder was good. Happy hour prices were really good. Half priced appetizers and beers. Stuffed oysters were good. Cod sandwich was filling and good. We met a gentleman from STATEN Island and had great conversation. We were very glad to be there. We had a very pleasant experience. read more

This place was horrible. Extremely overpriced, food mediocre at best, and service horrible. Got all the orders wrong and some items ordered never came. Overheard other tables having same issues. One table got fed up and walked out before food came. It wasn't very busy. No recommendation here. read more

Taking a stroll down to Asbury Park we saw the seahorse had a busy crowd for Sunday afternoon. We waited a bit before circling back and sat under the heating lap. The tempura fried fish was crunchy on the outside and a bit soggy in the inside. Fries needed some seasoning to enhance the flavor and complimentary slaw was not included like typical platters. Rib sandwich was decent. Onions overpowered the meal. Appreciated the waitress for warning us about the hot peppers. Thankfully we ordered it to the side. read more

Solid addition to the Asbury boardwalk. I had the grilled oysters and they were excellent. Also the blackened tuna sandwich was delicious. My wife had the lobster and shrimp salad sandwich. A very good sized portion but she felt it was a little bland. Solid service. So-so beer selection. read more

m extremely disappointed in the service i received at this restaurant considering how it looks from the outside. Don't let that fool you though, the food at this place was extremely overpriced for little portions you are given, the waiters are arrogant and snarky, on top of all this when i wasn't satisfied with the mrs and service and i didn't tip, the waiter made a snarky remark about me not beating able to afford the meal. He also had the AUDACITY to tell me that I "need to learn how to tip". Don't go here. read more

We had our last dinner in asbury park here and we were quite happy with the setting (ocean view) the service, the music and the food and drinks.

Tried the new restaurant in Asbury, at convention hall - Seahorse. Very happy with our dinner. Good portion sizes. Delicious food. We had the Charlie (fish sandwich), barbecued pork sandwich, and filet mignon sandwich. Fries weren't on the menu, but we asked and got an order to share. All were well-made. The barbecue pork sandwich was huge! Service was good, friendly, and our pup was able to join us. Will absolutely return. Gotta try that filet mignon sandwich! Looked wonderful! read more

Sat outside on a Friday afternoon. Good food/drinks and friendly staff. Chicken sandwich and fish sandwich were a hit.

Came at 7pm on a Friday night. We were the only other table along with an older couple. Server was awesome and she was very sweet to us, no complaint there. Drinks were small and not very good. If you are having a hard time going to the bathroom, this is the spot to go to. Fish sandwich goes right through you. Spent way too much money for the amount of service we got. Was not surprised at the amount of people at the spot after our experience. read more
