I'm being generous by giving this 4 stars but that's because the staff was so wonderful & Veteran friendly! The reason why it's not 5 stars is because the menu was limited and super expensive for the area. My mojito, which was full of ice, was $16!!! The parpadelle had zero flavor... luckily the steaks were sensational! My gnocchi with short ribs was okay, but it would've been better in a different sauce other than garlic cream (which was exactly like Alfredo). The branzino & the burger were beautifully cooked! The shrimp & scallop appetizer was really tasty, but not enough. The wedge salads were good & the regular size. The atmosphere was edgy & exciting! The place is huge! Can't wait til they have live entertainment there again!!! Xoxo read more

Good food high prices. Very nice atmosphere. Really enjoyed the Wedge Salad. Not aBYOB.

Terrible. The place is nice but it's too pricey and the food quality leave a lot to be desired. We were excited about the opening and quickly disappointed. You're money is better spent at a better restaurant. If you want to look at a nice restaurant go there for a drink after you had a good meal someplace else. You will thank me read more

Amazing place! Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere! DJ, interesting design, a big parking lot.Highly recommended! read more

Tonight I had one of the best pork chops that I ever had....at The Edge. Everything was good from the appetizers to the cappuccino. The only disappointment and reason that I did not rate five stars was.. They did not accept American Express. There was no notice on the entrance or on the menu. When we provided our credit cards at the end of the meal, we were told "No Amex". Our bill for four people was over $320.00 ( including gratuity). How can a restaurant of this caliber NOT accept American Express? I was embarrassed because of this and although I loved the food and the service, I probably won't return because of this. read more

My wife and I went in on Wednesday night to their soft opening. I've watched this place being built for a long time as I live down the road. First the place is beautiful inside and out it was raining but we could see some outdoor seating near the back. Great hardwood floors and tables the bar was elevated above the the dining room separated by a fire and water wall. Service was a little slow with lots of time to look around and digest, I know it was the first night so its expected they were out of the one beer I tried to order and they only offered bottled water at $7 I'm not a fan of tap but 7 bucks is kinda high. Prices are up there for the food, but it looks pretty good the presentation is nice. The bread was probably heated up hours before and left in a warmer, hard crusty and not very fresh. My app scallop 3 seared really nice cooked perfectly could have been seasoned that was the only thing off about it. My wife had the shrimp and grits cooked, presented, and seasoned well. The entrees, I had the carbonara, seasoned well, pasta al dente, carbonara sauce ok a little creamy not much egg yolk, it had about 1 to 2 ounces of lobster and 2 uni pieces. The uni was fresh and lifted the dish and the lobster was barely there. For $32 this should have more lobster or uni they were like garnishes not the main focus even though that was what sold me on the dish, I wasn't looking for pasta but it sounded intriguing. My wife had the ribeye, seasoned well looked great, around the same price, served with some Yukon and spinach. Dessert was apple strudel it was good, and the gelato was good as well. I want to go back after they have a few months open to try it again I would love a good restaurant in Jackson where they could break some culinary ground and bring a better dinning experience to the town, it just didn't happen tonight. read more

I was so impressed with the quality of the food. Everything was prepared so well. Was like a 5 star NY dining experience. The server was highly attentive and support staff super friendly. The manager came to visit with us several times and made us feel so welcome. Really happy to have this level of dining experience come to Jackson. read more

This is the best place to grab a bite and drink in town. Decor is perfect, staff is friendly and attentive. My wife had the salmon and I had the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and delicious. Cannot wait to return! read more

New, good, and very promising! We came with a friend who just moved to Asbury Park and had seen articles about it. We made reservations, which the Edge is requesting as they start out, and it was a decent crowd. A pretty easy drive from AP and the place is impressive. Beautiful inside, and a comfortable space. Sexy lighting and the music was alright. We started with a drink at the bar: all of our drinks were good and we enjoyed the bartender who was friendly and accommodating (our friend actually wanted hers sweeter, and it was done). We sat for dinner and our waiter was very good, lots of energy and professional. He knew the wines when we asked for a suggestion; didn't have to refer to the menu. Salads to start were plentiful and tasty. Entrees (salmon, steak and pasta for the 3 of us) were also good. Although the steak was a tiny bit rarer than what was requested, it was a generous cut and very good value. We skipped dessert b/c we were just too full. OK there were a few rough edges as any new spot would have, but they were minor and didn't detract from our experience. Check it out. read more

I really tried to like this restaurant. The ambiance is great, it's clean, and it's close to home for me. Unfortunately, it's completely mis-managed. My recent experience was for my 33rd wedding anniversary with my wife. I made a reservation through Open Table and was seated promptly. The table was very brightly lit so I requested another. The hostess said I'll be right with you. After seating a group at another table she walked right by and went back to the front door completely ignoring us. We decided to seat ourselves. We ordered wine, then crab cakes for an appetizer. The wine was good and the flavor of the crab cakes was great but they were cool inside. I ordered blackened snapper fillet. This came to the table and I couldn't even cut it with a knife!!! It was chicken, and overcooked at that!!! My wife ordered braised short ribs over garlic mashed potatoes and they came out over some kind of tasteless risotto or couscous. I NEVER call the manager over but I felt I had to in this instance (I honestly don't believe it was even the manager that came over). They brought me a new plate of snapper (still not great) and my wife braised short ribs over garlic mashed potatoes as advertised which were better. After trying this restaurant multiple times this was my last time. Don't waste your money. read more

The Edge Jackson has been our "nice" restaurant since it opened in 2019. We have eaten inside 4 times this Fall. Tables are well-spaced and masks are worn by staff, worn in by diners. This is our favorite NJ restaurant. The food is sophisticated, very nicely presented and delicious. Service is very good and the building is beautiful. We'd like to see a new menu soon... though we will miss our favorites on the current one. Highly recommend... nice evening out, special occasion, business... friendly not stodgy. read more

Food was delicious. Beautiful presentation and really nice bar with some unique cocktails. Grilled octopus was exceptional. Loved the vibe!

Wonderful restaurant. Nice addition to the area with beautiful decor and food to match. Bar abc is good with a deep wine list. Food has some real treasures. Try the mEatballs app or the ceviche very enjoyable read more

Came in on Saturday night and couldn't find anything that wasn't 5 star about this place. From the service to food this place is truly incredible. High end atmosphere and absolute beautiful design inside. I give them 10 stars, the ULTIMATE restaurant out here with no competition. read more

Finally! Jackson has its first legitimate restaurant. Words cannot describe how amazing not only the food, but also the staff were. You could tell this place is excellent quality just by the chic decor. The chef/owner brought a NYC swanky American establishment to a town that is saturated with half decent pizza joints that pretend to be restaurants. A+. read more

The food was very fairly priced and delicious. Was most impressed by the ambiance and incredible staff. The entire place went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and had a safe and comfortable experience. Would HIGHLY recommend coming here! read more

Finally - Jackson now offers a higher end quality dining destination. Space offers warmth balanced with sleekness resulting in a comfortable and appetizing ambiance - kudo's to the design of mixed stone and wood, and the water wall with fire feature wedged in-between is a stellar touch. Staff was professional, mature and experienced and its very apparent Management pushes the concept of quality service. Drink menu coupled with the cool bar area vibe should accommodate the most demanding audience and I felt drink prices were very reasonable. Menu offered a nice variety of proteins, pasta and sides and suspect will expand a bit with the change of seasons [scallops would be nice - possibly served with a charred / smoked corn & bacon risotto - just a thought]. Great Saturday night dining experience that overall was OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend! read more

Second time dining here. The service was excellent. The Cesar salad was unlike any I have ever had before. It was unbelievably good. The pasta with lobster and uni, out of this world. read more

Went there for the first time about a month ago. The atmosphere was amazing, very organized and clean. The owner was frequently walking around checking on tables and the food was hot and delicious. The service was a little slow, as we did a lot of waiting throughout the experience, but it could be because of reduced staff and extra measures they need to take right now. Would still go back and recommend giving them a try! read more

The meal was expensive but I'm willing to pay for a quality dinner. I ordered a filet mignon which was the best part of the meal. It went downhill from there. I guess I expected that a $50 dinner would include a salad? Maybe more than two carrots? Real potatoes would have been a nice touch too. The waiter was kind and service was quick. read more

Let me start with the good, the design and décor is beautiful. The wait staff and Bartenders are great, their customer service skills and friendliness are outstanding. As for the food, it is Good but far from great. I mostly put it that way since the Restaurant is rather expensive with a small menu and food that is equal quality to chain restaurants. Now for the Bad. The owners are still forcing reservations and will not allow a wait. This means that if you chose to go there, make a reservation or you are told the bar is your only option. We went on a Saturday night at 6pm and the place was at best half full. We were told we could not have a table since we had no reservation. I understand the problem if they were full but when 20+ tables had no one at it, it makes no sense. We went to the bar and chose to order more bar food thank a nice steak dinner. The Shrimp Tempura is 90% breading so I recommend against that. 16 dollars for 4 shrimp that are likely medium and not Jumbo. We ultimately ate only 3 of the 4 since it was so bad. We than tried the Burger and to be fair, it was very good. I find it equal quality to many taverns or chain restaurants though. We were there about 1 hour and never in the 1 hour were the tables full. At best they reached 75% capacity so again, the Owners truly have no understanding of the Restaurant business and the need to turn tables. In the end the food is good, the owners are not good and the Service is great. We will likely not go back since I did not like how the Owner spoke to us when we approached her a second time to ask for a table since they were still not full, her response was, Well if you want a table, make a reservation next time. Not smart for an owner. Good Food but equal quality to chain restaurants with a cost about 40% more than the chains. read more

One of the best group of people I have ever had serve me and my friends. The fact that they have made every effort to serve all that come in even those without reservations is amazing. I always make a reservation during the time of Covid! The staff from the waiters to the food runners to the bus people the kitchen staff and the Bar staff are some of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of having serve me. I have been in many restaurants around the world and this place in my own back yard is a great find. I go there 2 to three times a week with friends. The bar staff the cocktails are excellent and well crafted. One of the best wine lists I have seen in the USA. Any little slip up is fixed by the staff ASAP. There have not been many slip ups at all! The owners Hafide, Louise and Phil are always around to make sure you are having the best experience you can have. The menu is so spectacular and the meat, fish, and pasta is over the top. The brunch menu on Sunday is also one of the best i have ever seen. I will go back as often as I can. read more

Don't waste your time or money. It is a sports bar that wants to be high end. Food is tolerable but not worth the price tag. Better off traveling to Princeton, NYC or Philly for actual quality higher end meal options. Otherwise go to Tommy's Tavern for better food and the sports bar atmosphere. read more

Dinner was excellent. The portions were generous and the staff was professional. I had the salmon with cauliflower and loved it. I will definitely return. read more

Want to thank you for screwing me on New Years Eve. I added two people to the party and you told me No. I will never done there again

food was absolutely terrible. lobster bisque tasted like warm milk. No flavor. The pasta with marinara was horrible. The pasta was extremely thick and the marinara tasted like plain ketchup with an extreme amount of salt ! read more

I had a beautiful dinner. The service was amazing, I think my waiter's name was Jake or Jacob if I remember correctly. He had beautiful eyes and a great personality. Wish I could've gotten his number. Great night overall. read more

Had dinner here tonight for our 28th wedding anniversary! Food was AMAZING! Staff was attentive and the owners couldn't be more accommodating! From start to finish this place was Perfect! Will definitely be back for more memorable moments! Can't reccomend enough!!! read more

Food was great and staff was very friendly and courteous however ; a few issues occurred during our first visit , and don't to be picky put it's almost standard operating procedure that if a Caesar salad is served, then pepper is offered as an add on !! , also on one occasion the server cross is arm over my face while I was eating so he can reach out and handout my guest a wrap of silverware , not professional ! Another issue is that this restaurant appears to just keep serving entrees even if the person hasn't finished with their salad or dinner, YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL A PERSON FINISHES EATING BEFORE BRINGING THE NEXT PLATE !!! and last , the menus are cheap paper copies and the ones we got to see where stained with oil and other peoples fingerprints !! Disgusting . Still gotta a lot to improve to get to a NY level tier restaurant grade ! read more

We went for an early Valentines dinner on 2/8/20, the food was amazing! We had shrimp and grits as well as the crab cake for appetizers- both were very good! My husband had the pork chop and although he is apprehensive ordering pork chop anywhere, he was so happy he took the chance here! I had the short rib dinner and it was fantastic! We decided to skip dessert but I am sure it would have been amazing. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was the drinks coming from the bar took FOREVER.... my husband ordered an old fashioned with bourbon the first one came out amazing, the 2 after that were made with Rye (not the bartenders fault we told the server & he must have forgotten with the third no biggie) and had two enormous ice cubes in them. Not good. My drinks were good but again took forever. Speed up the drink service and you will be a 5! I would definitely recommend The Edge! read more

We went with a group of eight people for the first time. The food was great, the waiters, headed by Jimmy, were excellent. We had a wonderful time. It's nice to have an upscale restaurant in the area. We look forward to going back. read more

Here's an idea tell Grubhub your not taking their orders anymore! Don't shift the blame onto them, you are responsible as well.

The restaurant was beautiful, however, not paying attention to details ruined my evening. My 15 year old grandson chose this establishment to celebrate his birthday. I mentioned this to hostess & waiter and they failed to recognize same. Meanwhile the table next to ours was recognized for a birthday celebration. read more

This was our first visit. Atmosphere is really nice. Lovely bar/lounge area and dining. We don't see many like this aground here! Upscale metropolitan look. Service was fantastic! Food really good - beet salad, veal meatballs, salmon and Bronzino were all great! Nice wine and spirit list. Definitely will come back. read more

My relationship with this place has been rocky. I had a lot of issues the first several times I dined here. It took forever to even open but when it did, the "soft opening" was a mess with the reservation only thing and not serving food from the menu at the bar etc. Even after that was over, the service was always terrible and they appeared to be consistently understaffed. I had to wait past my reservation times. They didn't have things that were on their menu. I wasted hundreds of dollars here for several bad experiences. And honestly, I'm still not over it completely. I do still want to give them a chance though. My last 2 times visiting were... better. Not great but better. They still were out of menu items. But the service was better. Not good but better. The food is good. I can't say anything has ever been bad. It's pricey. The portions are small. But it's good. I really hope to continue to see this uptrend as I think this restaurant could have tremendous potential if managed correctly. read more

The food and staff was absolutely amazing. Our waitress Amanda was super friendly and accommodating to have. Will definitely be coming here again!! read more

Food was definitely not worth the price. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is very modern but they want Manhattan prices for food and drink that is not worth it. Sorry to say we will not be returning read more

Finally a high end classy restaurant in the area. This place was elegant and casual at the same time. The setting was tremendous. So many people I know have told me to check it out and glad I did. The food was perfect. I normally don't take time to write reviews but this one was worth taking the time to review. A+ read more

We ate here over the weekend on their outside area under a roofed tent. A fan was blowing in one direction in the far corner of tent. The table tat was 6 ft away played their own music on top of the piped music that disturbed my friend who closest to them although 6 ft away until they left short time later. I noticed one waiter going in circles to find the table that ordered an appetizer and still wondered if he found them lol! Our waiter was good with taking our drinks and putting in the food order. He did bring out a margarita instead of a mohito but he gave that on the house and brought correct drink. The skirt steak was tender and cooked right although I found it a bit salty probably from the chimmichuri sauce that was on top of steak. It came with crunchy yucca chips and arils as vegetable, really? The ribs looked overcooked and dry. The pasta was blah how can you not make olive oil salt and pepper taste right for cacio e Pepe? The price is still to high for what you get. I this place a second try but don't think I'll be back anytime to soon. read more

I haven't been to the place enough to rate everything, but if you are into steak and/or whiskey this is a prime spot. I've yet to have a bad filet here and with their expansive selection of bourbons and other whiskeys I can always choose a new one to pair with my steak. read more
