Bistro by the BeachMother's Day GemWe went with friends for their pri fix Mother's Day dinner, and were not disappointed. All the dishes were freshly made and served with style. The filet mignon, lobster with shrimp and scallops as well as the pork chop were excellent and cooked to perfection. Since it is BYOB it does save you money. We were never rushed and had a relaxing fun evening.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOur new favorite restaurantThis was our second group dinner that we hosted at the Bistro an once again it was a hit with our friends. We found this little gem last year during Restaurant Week and now consider it our favorite restaurant at the shore. The food and service were terrific.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMTruly Delicious and Beachy DelightOur visit was truly delightful. We had dinner at Bistro by the Beach this past Tuesday to celebrate my husband's birthday, and also participate in the Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. We were ecstatic about our decision to give it a try and will most definitely be back. The food was delicious (stuffed squash blossom, beached shrimp, butter poached monkfish, fried chicken, brownie sundae, and meyer lemon scented cheesecake) and hearing the waves crash as we walked to our car was the perfect finish to a wonderful evening.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMService was a little slow,Service was a little slow, but exceptionally friendly, so I didn't mind!

I loved the stuffed zucchini blossom app. The portions were satisfying.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFood AdequateThe website led us to expect a really great meal. Instead, the food was barely adequate and the prices were quite high, due, I suppose, to the location - one block from the Spring Lake beach. The service, tho, was excellent. Granted, it was Easter, but there were no yum moments and nothing special about the food.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWent to Bistro on Easter Sunday.Went to Bistro on Easter Sunday.

Mark, our waiter, turned out to be attentive and knowledgeable about the food and the area– as well as the recovery of Spring Lake after Hurricane Sandy. My wife's Burrata was "the best she had ever tasted" and that led into her marvelous Bucatini and Clams dish that had her drooling after a bite. My scallop entree was sweet and moist and spectacular. We were too full to see what Chef BJ had ready for dessert, so we packed the remainder of our wine (BYOB!) and went off to see the rebuilding that is going on all over Spring Lake. Bistro by the Beach is certainly worth the drive.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AM
