Asbury Park Restaurants

Food great. Service impeccable. Ambience nice. Table for 2 a little long. Was going to order drinks at bar but bartender couldn’t be bothered interrupting convo with buddies but didn’t matter because hostess had our table. Hostess and waiter top notch.

Went there for a Saturday night dinner. Sat at the counter which was the only reservation we could get. Watching the food being prepared turned out to be entertaining. Our waitress was great. Food was fresh and delicious. Portions were more then enough. We shared a salad and each took home a little of our entree. I had the puttanesca which was perfect after adding a little red pepper. My husband had the truffle gnocchi. His portion was large and he said it was good. I had a slice of delicious pistachio cake and we both had cappuccino. There is a surcharge for using credit cards so be warned.

First time there. Food and service was excellent. I think our server's name Max. He was really friendly and pleasant attitude.

We started with the Lump Crab and Avocado and the Grilled Octopus for appetizers. Both were excellent. The sauce for the Grilled Octopus was delicious and paired so well with the octopus. I had the Chicken Savoy, which was done in a balsamic reduction with a parmesan garlic crust and served with a crispy risotto ball. Again, the sauce was excellent but slightly overpowered the taste of the chicken. The risotto ball was done perfectly. And, whatever you do, you must get the Pistachio Caramel Ice Cream Cake. It was an amazing presentation, a huge portion (for at least two), and the taste of pistachio rang through with vigor. Highly recommend.

On a very rainy and windy night my dining companion and I were graciously welcomed and shown to a table towards the back of the dining room. Our server was absolutely delightful, attentive, gracious, patient. The food was quite excellent seafood and pasta; large portions and very reasonable prices. Dessert was over the top and was a meal in itself. Cocktails offered creativeness and in my case, a Hot Toddy, excellent for the evening and hardly ever offered on a menu elsewhere.
