    Whispers is absolute elegance and top fine dining nestled right on the beach in Spring Lake! Pricey but more than worth the price Not sure where to start but I'll start with the location itself. The restaurant is located in a fabulous bed-and-breakfast Victorian home. Very close to the beach, stepping inside here is amazing! They have a separate entrance for the restaurant but I suggest walking through the main lobby as well, absolutely gorgeous building! Now the service, there's no better service anywhere! Incredible servers paying the most strict attention and serving you like you're a celebrity. Small very charming dining room! OK time for the food, cannot be beat! Oh my God did I go to heaven with my meal! For an appetizer I got their scallops and pasta special. I'm just going to go out there and say never had better scallops in my life! For dinner I had grilled shrimp over homemade pasta in the most amazing pesto sauce! Take a look at my picture. Just gonna say the seafood meal of meals! It was shrimp yes, but the sauce and the homemade fettuccine were really better than I could've imagined! Very highly recommended for a wonderful dining experience, but I'm going to warn you, it's pricier than most expensive restaurants, so it's really great for special occasions!

    Pretty rose on the table.

    We had a really nice dinner last weekend at Whispers. We were a party of 4 and it was the first time for all of us. We loved the quaint setting inside of a large B&B. Our table was in its own private room with about 4 other tables. The decor was elegant and made us feel like it was a very special occasion. Pretty flowers and candles adorned the table as well as beautiful dishes and decor. And before I forget, and very important to your dining experience is that Whispers is BYOB. You don't want to forget that! Not that we were in a rush, but the service was on the slow side. There seemed to be something going on that evening and we had all different people helping with serving us. And no, not just the runner delivering the food. But back to the actual food... The appetizers and salads we selected before the meal were really good. The salads were excellent to start and my husband had a shrimp appetizer that he raved about. For my entree I had the lobster special which was excellent. It was a 1 1/2 pound lobster with no work to do.. just the yummy lobster meat, served in a nest of a wonton and with crab meat and mashed potato. So good. My husband had the salmon which he liked as well. My friend went off the menu and had halibut which she wasn't that crazy about the preparation. I would say stick to the items on the menu! Dessert was another scrumptious offering. I had one bite of the pear tart and our friend had this big coconut almond joy type dessert that he really didn't want to share, but I did try it. Very good! I also had one of the most delicious cappuccinos ever! They must have a really great cappuccino maker on premise. It was exceptional. So I would definitely come back. If the service was a bit better I would have given it 5 stars. I would say it was a busy night and the team did the best they could do! Definitely a very nice dining experience.

    Great food and service! The bread came out warm with whipped butter! Lobster crepes were tasty. Filet mignon with carrots and green beans! Grilled shrimp with pesto linguine. The ambience is nice. The decor is classic with flowers.

    Took hubby here for Valentines day 2022. Was looking for something different and quiet from the normal list of places we go to. Food was Great , waitress Brandi was Great. Highly recomment and will add it to our bi weekly go to list.

    Having waited until the last minute, I had to scramble to find a restaurant with available reservations for New Years Eve. I was very fortunate to have called Whispers at the right time as they just received a cancellation. I must say, we couldn't have been happier with the quality of the food and the service. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and had several off price fixe menu specials such as the stuffed calamari. I would definitely recommend Whispers for a dinner to celebrate a special occasion. We will certainly have to try them again when they have their regular menu available.

    Divine dining experience,,, lovely room, food made with expertise,,,unusual flavors,,, I love this place & have been coming here many years!

    Cucumber topped with Salmon mousse
    Jennifer T.

    Whispers is an elegant byob restaurant located in the Hewitt Wellington Hotel in Spring Lake. It's the perfect place for a romantic dinner or to celebrate a special occasion. Portions are on the small side, and that would stop me from becoming a regular. But, I'd definitely would dine here again! They start you with a complimentary tasting. Tonight's tasting was a cucumber topped with salmon mousse which was good. They also serve you a fresh hot roll which was also good, but I was expecting a restaurant of this caliber to have a few different kinds of bread to choose from. For appetizer I had the lobster ravioli topped with a butternut squash purée which was $20. I thought it was too small of an appetizer for the price point. It was good, but I didn't think it was excellent as it should of been. It needed more of a butternut squash flavor as it was described. My entree which was the 1.5 pound lobster over a crab cake in a wonton served over mashed potatoes was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend ordering it! For dessert I had the chocolate ganache cake which was very good, but very small! I had two rolls otherwise I would of left hungry. I don't mind paying high prices just want to be served a bit more generous portions, and get my money's worth. My server Taylor was wonderful! I definitely recommend dining here if your looking for that special place to celebrate a special occasion or just looking for a romantic dinner!

    First time dining at Rod's, and we absolutely loved our experience! Our waitress was so much fun,…read moreattentive, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. We ordered a few dishes to share, including the shrimp appetizer and the summer burrata, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We ended up sitting outside because the wait for indoor seating was over an hour and a half, but the outdoor patio was lovely and made for a great evening. If you're hoping to sit inside, I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. Fantastic food, excellent service, and an overall wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back!

It quickly got packed though so get there early. The Summer Burrata was fresh and delicious, although it's better for 2 people, not made for sharing well. The Volcano Shrimp had great flavor with the perfect sweet and spicy kick, but the presentation could use a little more creativity- there wasn't even a bed of greens under it. Our entrées were great. The special Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb was tender and flavorful, the Coconut-Crusted Halibut was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the Broiled Crab Cakes were a standout, packed with jumbo lump crab and virtually no filler. The Pineapple Coconut Spritz was refreshing and tropical, and the Golden Hour cocktail was a unique bourbon and limoncello combination that was surprisingly delicious. Great food and a lovely outdoor dining experience.

    We went to Spring Lake beach this weekend and we were looking for a good restaurant. We found Blend…read moreby Chef Lou. It's a nice, quiet venue and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We started with the bread, a focaccia, which was served with an olive oil that had a large roasted garlic in it. It was a delicious starter, and complimented our Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was 'different' - aren't they all? I've been experiencing very different types - the one tonight had a subtle dressing - with a subdued sweetness. The grated Parmesan and Breadcrumbs smothered the salad - when you see the picture, you'll understand. It was a good salad, however I would have preferred less grating and more dressing. Next up, the Waygu Meatballs, in a delicious San Marzano tomato sauce. The meatballs were excellent. I was mystified by the accompanying 'jar' of 'basil' ricotta. See attached picture-it's a large amount of ricotta - I tasted it - it was very creamy but the basil was faintly noticeable. I added a little to a meatball and it didn't enhance the 'bite' at all. I was embarrassed leaving this large jar of cheese. We shared the two entrees - the first, Sea Bass on a bed of mashed potatoes was cooked perfectly and had the most delicate taste. It was 'too delicate', if there is such a thing as- for they say, ' good fish, doesn't taste like fish '. However, the fish needed seasoning or sauce - one or the other, or both. The next entree was the mushroom house made ravioli - a tender pasta with a mushroom filling covered in a creamy, earthy mushroom sauce. We also ordered a side of sautéed wild mushrooms and added those to the ravioli - it was a wonderful dish.

The worst part was some of the tables are very close so sitting next to an obnoxious guy makes it hard to ignore. Anyway, the food: we each got a salad: Caesar salad dressing was in point, but TOO much cheese and the croutons were stale but there were t that many of those so no biggie. Hubby got the Tre colore salad which was a special & he loved it. For dinner we both did specials: chicken rollatini (amazing! Highlight dish of the evening) & husband got the Salmon Oscar which was very good too. Took dresser home as we often do bc we were stuffed: ring ding for 2. WOW! The pastry chef there is a genius and super talented, it was SO GOOD! I had coffee which was fantastic & hubby had espresso also fantastic. We will definitely be back!

    Everything was amazing ... the ambiance, the service, the food, the vibe!…read more I was planning a birthday dinner in NJ from another state and randomly found this restaurant while searching the web. This was definitely one of my best finds. The entire experience was delightful. The person who handled the reservation was knowledgeable and gave me a lot of useful information up front. They sent reminders for the reservation in the interim. And, on the day of the dinner, they sent a text notification to alert me that our table was ready (ahead of the reservation time). Upon arriving, I knew this was a special and unique establishment. The grounds and the building were the first hint that we were about to be delighted. Inside, was bursting with fun , eclectic, rustic charm. Upon entering, the hostess was already prepared to greet us and the staff was very attentive. I had made prior arrangements for them to hold the birthday cake. Our server was friendly and professional; he immediately introduced himself by name and took good care of our group all evening. The water was dutifully filled, the courses were served and cleared efficiently and expediently ... and then the coup de grâce. We had brought in a grocery store chocolate cake. I had merely expected them to bring it to the table. However, they brought it out with lit candles, so that we could sing happy birthday. And then quickly whisked it back into the kitchen, where they sliced and plated it for us and added whipped cream, ganache, and a white chocolate & raspberry drizzle to garnish the plate. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had.

Held every Friday from 3-6 PM, this tail-wagging idea comes courtesy of their fantastic bar manager, Matt. Set on the patio garden bar outside the picturesque historic farmhouse, the event features happy hour specials for both humans and their four-legged companions. Pet parents can indulge in fine American cuisine and drink specials, while pups get their own Bark Bites menu, offering a burger patty or chicken breast served with rice and carrots, available in half or full portions. There are even hydration bowls with fruit-infused water to keep the pups cool and refreshed. Leashed and friendly dogs are always welcome to dine outdoors overlooking the beautiful property. We spotted plenty of well-behaved pups, including Blue, Mikey, Velvet, and Zarra. All in all, it was a perfect night out at this beloved local spot.

There was the perfect ratio of marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and graham crackers on the French toast. The breakfast pizza was also delicious. The amount of flavor from one bite was incredible and nothing was overpowering. I'm excited to go back and try more of the menu here!
