    Paloma with beach views
    Ritesh S.

    Great rooftop bar right on Asbury Park boardwalk to enjoy the beach views with plenty of seating and standing room, inside and out. A fun crowd, good food, excellent cocktails and very kind and attentive staff. We went on a Saturday eve, sat in the rooftop outdoor longe area, ordered some drinks and small plates. Had a great experience overall.

    Rooftop spot off boardwalk where you can see who is playing at stone poney and if they are not playing than one of many great acts might be playing right below on the boardwalk which is a cool treat to have while here. We came straight from work and got the sunset and live music to go with our appetizer and strong drinks. Allowing patrons to sit anywhere on this rooftop area allows for some cool spots to hang out. We had enough water and drinks while we were there Bar food was ok but experience we got was great. We will return as place was crowded but couldn't tell in the service.

    I didn't order any food from here, so I can't comment on the food. My boy and I came here for some drinks and conversation by the short. It was a great time. The drinks were pretty good. He ordered an old-fashioned and I ordered The Mermaid and the walrus. Both were very good. Perfectly made The service here was pretty good. I spilled some of my drink, and a waitress somehow saw and brought me a napkin to wipe my hand. The vibe here is so chill and nice. You get ocean views, cocktails, and chill music. Perfect place to have a drink after work. Come check it out.

    Spent the day in Asbury with my girlfriend who needed some beach therapy after having a double knee replacement just a few weeks prior. We decided on Watermark for dinner after spending some time on the boardwalk. The only obvious way to entry were flights of stairs from the boardwalk or from the street, but we had read that it was handicap accessible. I spoke with a waiter and he connected me with the manager who went out of his way to show us elevator and then met us when we exited. He graciously offered both of us complimentary drinks which were well received. We loved the atmosphere of the deck area. Our waiter was very attentive even though he was very busy. We ordered four tapas as this was our dinner, but we would have been satisfied with just three. We had the Hummus Crudites, Falafal Bites, Boneless Chicken Bites, and the Coconut Shrimp. It was all fantastic. The Falafal plate was bigger than we had expected. Great service, food, drinks, and atmosphere. Everyone we spoke to on the deck was very friendly and we had a nice sunset to top it off. Perfect spot to wrap up a day at the shore.

    Amazing experience on watermark rooftop bar on Pride Sunday thanks to our server Anna! Was a very busy afternoon but we were well taken care of! Anna was so kind and poised and made us feel so welcome despite the obvious rush! Anna was so professional and truly made our experience at watermark one to remember! We hope to see Anna and visit the rooftop again soon :)

    One of my friends and I got together and tried this spot out. I have been wanting to give it a try for a while. When we arrived we found parking not too far. Fyi you have to pay until 9pm daily. When we walked in the spot was super cute with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors at first and got drinks. The bar moved fast and the drinks were affordable. I got a spiked tea and it was good. I then got a glass of wine and that was good too. My friend enoyed her drinks. We sat outside for the remainder of the time there and the views were nice. A DJ comes after a certain time also. We had a good time and I definitely will return.

    Watermark is still my favorite Asbury bar and they did not disappoint despite the current restrictions due to COVID-19. We stopped by after a day at the beach. The hostess asked for my phone number and I was sent the wait time and the menu via text. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. The seating arrangements are spaced out and I felt very comfortable. The drink and food menu are limited. I was not able to get my favorite drink, the Asbury iced tea but I tried In The Buff and really liked it. At one point it started drizzling and the hostess handed every party a big umbrella and assured us that the rain should pass, which it did. I was really impressed by this. Can't wait until my next visit!

    Great atmosphere!! It's a roof top with tapas overlooking the beach. We had a bunch of drinks. Our server was Rose. She was very good. We had sliders, a chicken flatbread , fried chicken bites. Everything was good. Most of all my Cosmopolitan's were great!

The service throughout the night was appreciated, specifically at the bar. I will give my thoughts on each food item tried below. Lomi-Lomi Salmon - This raw dish was tasty. There was solid flavor and tiny pieces of salmon had a melt in the mouth like texture. Kalua Pork - This was very tender with a good amount of seasoning. Sweet Potatoes - I believe these were purple. They were good with having a soft texture too. Mixed Green Salad with Papaya Seed Dressing - This was light and a nice compliment to the other dishes. Macaroni Salad - Again, this was light with tons of flavor. Huli Huli Chicken - These were small chicken wings with lots of meat. They had a slightly sweet flavor to them and were very tender too.

Just a block away from where we were already having dinner on the boardwalk... extremely convenient. On street parking can be found. Entrance was easy and friendly. Elevator to the rooftop and you're immediately impressed by the layout and beautiful views. We found that service at the bar was quick and easy. Didn't order any cocktails, just prosecco and wine, so can't really review those. Music was decent enough and if you move to the far end of the rooftop past the bathrooms, you can even have a nice conversation without screaming. I'd definitely come back again for a cocktail or two.

    Valentine day surprise here. I didnt know in advance so couldnt scope out reviews and menu in…read moreadvance. Location: parked at paid parking nearby which was cheap $1 or $2 per hour. Didnt partake in $25 valet parking but was sorely tempted. The indoors are beautiful, white walls and pretty decorations, large bar. Service: Terrific. 5 stars. Julia was awesome, helpful and honest. I did tell her I cant eat spicy stuff although I enjoy lightly spicy stuff. Drinks: I tried the Lebanese red wine. Very nice medium body. My husband tried the old fashioned which he said were good. Starters: we had the salatim which is 6 different dips and two piping hot large pita breads. I liked 4 out of 6 dips while hubby liked 5 out of 6. We both loved the hummus, salad, lima bean, and eggplant ones. This kind of eating is always fun. The discovery! STAR: The star is the halloumi. Fried cheese with lightly sweet crispy crust honeyed and topped with a light refreshing salad and pomenegrate seeds. Our server charmingly apologized she forgot to warn me about the codfish chili being potentially hot but I ended up trying and enjoying it, although I felt the fish was slightly overcooked. Not rubbery but a little too crusty and not flaky enough. I did not complain though because her dessert recommendation for malabi, a custard with oat crisps, was lovely. Nice to share with hubby and cap off the night. Temperature control: we sat somewhat near the front so were hit with cold air anytime someone entered. My husband is recovering from back surgery so walking was difficult for him. I appreciate he planned such a nice outing for us despite his walking challenges. All in all, we would return and explore cocktails and other menu items.
