    Best sushi on earth I think
    Roger G.

    Just had another delicious meal here pleasant atmosphere delicious top-notch food and great ambience. The blackfish special was perfect The gnocchi was delicious and I believe they have the best sushi I've ever had anywhere. And they serve clams on the half shell properly with the wine like sauce, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and lemons. So many restaurants just don't get that right. Staff was super professional and super friendly from the three hostesses to Becky the manager and Kristen our waitress all great can't wait to go back. Made my wife's Mother's Day special.

    1/2 Lobster Roll
    Joseph S.

    We went to Spring Lake, NJ for the first time.....it's a hidden jewel on the Jersey shore. Spring Lake Seafood is the jewel in Spring Lake, but it's definitely not hidden. Whenever we drove through the little village of Spring Lake, there was one establishment that always had a crowd - Spring Lake Seafood - it was the 'happening place'. We had dinner there and found out why. We shared the Caesar Salad - it was large leaves of Romaine, with breadcrumbs, capers and Parmesan cheese. It was good. Next, the two entree's shared were the Lobster Roll and the Crab cake. I started with the Lobster Roll - it was scrumptious! Fresh, tender pieces of lobster, on a buttery brioche roll....I had to finish it before I started the Crab cake! However, was I saving the best for last? I took my first bite of the Crab cake, and was startled. I lived in Maryland for 30 years and became part of the 'crab cult'. I hadn't had a Crab cake, which had no filler, in quite some time...until this evening! What a delightful surprise, the cake was perfectly fried and the crab filling was superb! We finished with the Key Lime Pie, which we were told is made at a local bakery. The Key Lime topping was creamy, sweet and tart, with a nice citrusy taste. However, the crust was too thick and chewy, instead of being light and having a crisp bite. The pie could have used twice the topping and half the crust. Spring Lake, NJ is a must go if you're considering a trip to the Jersey shore....and Spring Lake Seafood is a must go if you're considering going to Spring Lake!

    Tuna Flight, Yellowtail Chilli Crunch, Toro Salmon

    By far our favorite restaurant in Spring Lake! Casual but nice ambiance, excellent service, and everything we've ever ordered is excellent. Our favorites are the spicy tuna pizza (spicy tuna crispy rice with spicy mayo, wasabi, and eel sauce), the ahi tuna, and the banana bread pudding. It's one of those places that you can't order "wrong." The sushi is so fresh, and we've enjoyed both the specialty rolls and the nigiri flights. It's BYOB, but they also have a small selection of wine. They also have a nice list of interesting mocktails. A reservation is needed, especially on the weekends. Looking forward to eating on the patio during the summer months!

    Salmon nigiri & bluefin tuna flight
    Alivia D.

    Excellent meal for any seafood lover! Oysters were flavorful and plump. I savored every bite of the bluefin tuna flight, it was so fresh and delicious. Crab cakes were the best I've ever had. It was ALL crab meat, no fillers! With a perfectly crispy crust. Unfortunately we did not save room for dessert. BYOB was a huge plus, though the sober bar sounds delicious. Nautical touches all throughout the restaurant which made for a great ambiance. The restaurant was nicely lit as well, which is refreshing to see! Highly recommend!

    Super friendly server, she was very pleasant, nice conversation. We both shared amazing oysters, so fresh and plump. Also both had the haddock sandwich, very nice portion and delicious. A very cozy restaurant, I highly recommend it.

    Amazing lunch! I had the shrimp burger and it was delicious. So unique compared to what I'm used to. I loved their homemade root beer. Our waitress was fabulous and the entire restaurant had a good vibe. I enjoyed the ambiance of the decor. 10/10

    Fluke Ceviche
    Aggie P.

    We had an amazing lunch date at Spring Lake Seafood after a beach day. Place is clean, cute and cozy. Pretty coastal decor. Service was fabulous. We had servers switched mid shift and we couldn't be happier with both of them. They made a great suggestions, were attentive and available. We started with Prince Edward Island Oysters followed by fluke ceviche. Both amazing. For a main course we had fish tacos and fish & chips. I have never had tastier battered fish. Looked like it was painted on. Many times all you can taste is the coating. This one didn't disappoint. Ended lunch date with delicious key lime pie and blueberries custard pie. I would highly recommend this establishment. We couldn't wait to go back before we even left

    Crab Cakes with Fingerling potatoes & spicy brussels sprouts
    Justin B.

    What a wonderful meal and overall experience at Spring Lake Seafood. The property itself is beautifully detailed; a stunning yet relaxing and enjoyable space. The food was phenomenal. Incredibly fresh and creative dishes, well prepared with good depth of flavor, without trying too hard. Everything hit the mark well. We started with a salad course, I had the Bibb salad, which was delicious with fuji apples, candied walnuts, goat cheese champagne vinaigrette. Pretty sure the candied walnuts were made in-house, they had the perfect amount of crunch! My wife had the caesar, again spot on yummy salad. I walked past the service counter and saw they have a DRY AGER for their TUNA, which I have NEVER seen in a seafood restaurant. I'm a huge fan of dry aged beef, so seeing this put a big smile on my face. This place nerds out on the little touches, I love that. I got the bluefin tuna flight to sample the tuna and I will tell you it's the best tuna sushi I've ever had, so so good. Our main course we got crabcakes, and again they did top notch work. They used a remoulade that I've only ever had similar to (and have sought out since) at Del Frisco's but with less spice. I usually prefer broiled, but the crabcake had a perfect crust that didn't take away from the overall texture of the generous lump inside. They came paired with fingerling potatoes with a light sautee, and these brussel sprouts with this very unique sour citrus spicy flavor profile that I really enjoyed, full of flavor. Brad and Lula have a winner on their hands. Simply put, Spring Lake seafood is a 10/10, just go and you'll be blown away!

    Dessert Menu
    Grace G.

    Really cute restaurant and quite busy on a Friday night! It is BYOB but they have some wines on the menu. We made a reservation just in case and to avoid any potential wait. They have a small bar, some booth seating, mostly tables. I will mention that it gets quite loud and it does feel like you have to shout to the people you're sitting with. We ordered the ninja roll as an appetizer, this was the star of the meal. I ordered the bolognese which was tasty. Their pasta tasted homemade and was a little on the softer side (not my preference but not bad). The bolognese and chicken tenders and fries both needed more salt, more of a preference thing since some people might not like a lot of salt. Overall, very cute and I would love to come back for more sushi!

    Lobster roll with sub side salad
    Dominique S.

    My husband and I split the ninja sushi roll to start which was delicious. We then both ordered the hot lobster roll. I paid for the substitution of a salad in place of the fries. The side salad was tasty with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs on the top and crunchy capers. My husband got the fries that come with the sandwich which were good. The lobster roll itself was good, but we have had better. Overall, we liked the meal and felt like the menu had a lot of good options. It took a very long time for the food to come out. Also it's a BYOB. We only had water to drink but noticed the rim on the glass bottle they provided was moldy. When we pointed it out to the sever she gave us a fresh one but it was also in need of a cleaning.

    Sushi

    Made a reservation at spring lake seafood for date night. It has a cute nautical vibe. I could see them being insanely busy during the summer. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. We got the tuna pizza - amazing. The sushi was so fresh. I also ordered the ricotta cavatelli - perfectly spicy. Ugh so good. If you're craving seafood, this is a definite place to try.

    Ahi tuna
    Colleen D.

    Wow, this place exceeded my expectations. Service was excellent. Our server, Brody, was really knowledgeable and friendly. The food was just incredible and the portions are not stingy. I find most places tend to skimp on the seafood dishes, but not here. Finally a place that offers decent portions of quality seafood. Drinks: They offer a limited selection of bottles of wine, otherwise you can BYOB. Food: We loved every bite. All the fish was fresh and tasty. The tuna pizza is basically a round crispy spicy tuna, it was so good. The Bibb salad is simple and full of flavor. We had a special spicy lobster roll that was fresh and flavorful. I had the butterfly black sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. I also really like that they cook it in butter and not in vegetable oil. You can taste that they use quality ingredients here. He got the ahi tuna and really enjoyed it. The soba noodles were so yummy. Definitely plan to come back here.

Nestled inside the Shore Club…read morewhich is a banquet/event space, Olea service starts at the door with complimentary valet which is optional. A red carpet welcomes you into the large waiting/bar area. Once you enter the actual restaurant, there are 2 dining areas. The first is more intimate. A smaller space with a fireplace and leather benches line the room. The larger space where we were seated was also very nice, but a bit louder. The dark accents with all of the greenery was a great touch. When you come to Olea, think "Steakhouse". Entrees are ordered separately from sides and all portions are large and filling. Cocktails were very good. They start you off with bread and mixed olives. All of the food was delicious! I'm not a fan of oysters, but others at the table raved about them. We had Lobster Mac, Scallops (6), Brussel Sprouts & Halibut. We had no room for dessert because again, the portions were large. It's a high end restaurant, pricey, but the quality is there. Service was excellent from everyone. Valet, hostesses, all wait staff. Olea is great for large parties, special occasions or just a night out. We surely will return.

    We don't get to Mr Shrimp that often but when we do it's always a fine meal. This visit was more…read moreenjoyable then most as we caught them on a night they were not packed with people. They were barely half full and the noise was not extremely loud. I had the New England clam chowder and as usual it was a great start to the meal. Plenty of clams and potatos in a creamy white sauce. To start the meal they also provided bread sticks with sesame seeds which is a real nice alternative to dinner rolls. With the sticks they also providing a dipping sauce that really tasted great. This the only place I can remember having breadsticks during dinner and loved it. For dinner I had stuffed flounder with rice and vegetables. The fish was prepared real well and came with plenty of crabmeat and stuffing. Inside it was real moist and tasted great. Along with that was rice and mixed vegetables. In the restaraunt the vegetables were a bit harder then I would prefer but when I reheated the meal at home they were perfect. But if you you are an al dente vegetable they would be fine for you. My wife picked something off the specials of the day. Shrimp, Mahi, broccoli, mushrooms, pine nuts all over rice. She felt this was a great meal and would definitely get it again. It was a nice blend of a bunch of tastes and textures, and the pine nuts are always a great addition to a meal. With less people to deal with the service was right on point, with several returns to our table to make sure everything was well. I feel you will always have a great meal here. But at times there will be a wait to get a table and it will be a bit loud... But in my mind you will always walk out smiling

It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.
