Sea Girt Restaurants

Couldn’t wait to try and can’t wait to go back! We sat at the bar and it was a lovely night w awesome service and perfect vibes and food!

EXCELLENT dinner with friends. We all enjoyed our meals.

What a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! From the moment we walked into Olea, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere is romantic, elegant, and just the right amount of sexy~ perfect for a special evening. Our waiter, Akeel, greeted us with a warm smile and was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable throughout the entire meal. Waiting for us at the table was a sweet anniversary card, and every staff member who passed by took a moment to wish us a happy anniversary. Those thoughtful touches made the evening feel so special. The manager even came over to introduce himself and surprised us with complementary champagne~a beautiful gesture that set the tone for the night. We started with the chilled shrimp cocktail, which was incredibly fresh, light, and perfectly chilled. My husband enjoyed the 24 ounce prime bone in ribeye with whipped potatoes on the side, cooked to absolute perfection. I chose the spicy rig, and it was every bit as delicious as I’d hoped after reading the menu. One of the highlights of the evening came when I noticed the pastry chef’s name on the menu~ McKenzie Kleinkauf. She went to school with my son, so I asked Akeel if she happen to be there. A few moments later, she came out with the biggest smile, and it was so wonderful to see her thriving and doing what she loves. It made our celebration even more meaningful. For dessert, we couldn’t choose just one, so we shared the churro crullers and the blueberry cheesecake bread pudding. Both were absolutely incredible, and McKenzie added the sweetest, finishing touch by decorating our dessert with two hearts for our anniversary. The entire evening was memorable from beginning to end. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and heartfelt hospitality, made our first visit to Olea one we will never forget. Thank you to everyone who made our anniversary so special. We can’t wait to come back.

The Greek salad was amazing. Both entrees were excellent, Faroe Island salmon and the Scallop dish. Top quality and prepared to perfection!!!!!

Blend is my favorite “ go to” restaurant in Ocean/ Monmouth . Food and service are always absolutely amazing. My wife and I always order the calamari for our appetizer and regularly order the halibut for dinner. The owner Lou is always there to greet his guests and yesterday when he learned that my wife and I were there for lunch celebrating our granddaughters birthdays he sent a wonderful complimentary dessert to our table complete with candles . Always a great experience
