    I would highly recommend Blend on Main. A lovely room with a fireplace and well spaced tables. Our server and the service in general were terrific. A varied menu with several gluten free choices, we each chose a different entree and each of us thoroughly enjoyed what we had. We started with a delicious salad that was large enough to share and ended with a flourless chocolate cake that was beautifully presented.

    Dinner options were varied and food was delicious (eg bolognese & halibut dishes) Ambiance was bustling. Restaurant was busy so took awhile to be seated after reservation time and service post meal delivery become very slow. Would certainly try again.

    We met friends for dinner last week. As we missed Restaurant Week, due to illness, we were happy to find that some of the entree specials from that week, were available the night we were there. For entrees we had General Tso’s Short Ribs, Chicken Rollatini and Pan Roasted Nova Scotia Salmon. The food was delicious and was presented beautifully. For dessert, we had the Pumpkin Cheese Cake and Flourless Chocolate Cake, both excellent. Food and service were wonderful. We’ll be back.

    Unique menu that you don't see in other restaurants. Food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. We had a long wait after our reservation time but once we sat everything came together and we had an amazing meal! They were apologetic about wait but people where just not leaving after they were done.

    This is the second time we have taken friends to dinner at blend on main. It did not disappoint. Other couple was very impressed. Overall with the food and the service. Despite almost a 20 minute wait even though we have 630 reservations, we were able to get him seated as requested next to the fireplace. That added to the overall ambience. The food was absolutely fantastic, and Caroline our server was on top of things all night. If you watch the hostesses and the staff work, you will be amazed at just how efficient and energetic they are in every aspect per serving their customers needs. You can’t fail if you choose blend on mean.

    Hello Blend on Main Team. I have been a long time fan of your restaurant having had my small intimate wedding in your space in 2015. My friend had never been to you so we picked a Thursday night reservation. Albeit it was restaurant week and ladies night in Manasquan (I didn't realize this) It was a busy night for sure and every table was filled. We did decided to go for the special menu because you offered so much and the price was so reasonable. It was delicious! From the Butternut squash soup to the salmon entree cooked to perfection to the unbelievable waffles & ice cream! The waitress was SO busy and yet was so accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back for sure! Thanks for a wonderful dinner. Jan

    This was our 2nd visit and we were accompanied by cousins who had not been to Blend on Main before. All four of us raved about each course and will further spread the good news. Special thanks to Deidre our server who was readily able to answer all our questions up front about the eclectic dinner menu options and saw to it that our expectations were fulfilled.

    First time was restaurant week and it won’t be the last. The food and service were great. Only negative is no table bread or rolls and they ran out of the short rib special. When you only have 4 main course you should not run out of one. I was there early so I had the short rib. It was the best I ever had. I will be back.

    First time at Blend and it did not disappoint!! Wait staff were always there to assist but not hovering. Food was EXCELLENT!! Perfectly seasoned! And done as requested. I had the Halibut and my husband had the Wagyu burger with sweet potato fries. Beautiful interior with double fireplace. Although the restaurant was filled the noise level was such that we could still have a conversation without yelling across the table. Fantastic experience and we will return again and again! Can’t say enough about this wonderful restaurant!
