The food was excellent as always. But the service was a little off. It was a Tuesday but it was very crowded. 618 is my favorite local restaurant so I chose it to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. I made 3 reservations during our anniversary week. 2 of the restaurants acknowledged our anniversary. But 618 was the only restaurant that didn’t acknowledge our anniversary in any way. They didn’t even wish us Happy Anniversary.

Our experience is always superb! Last night was my birthday! The reason we didn’t give the highest food rating is because 618 “deleted” my wife’s favorite menu items, the portobello mushroom ravioli and also the butternut squash ravioli. We understand that butternut squash should return in the autumn but, in the meantime, there is nothing similar!!! The lobster ravioli is too rich and not an adequate substitute. Please consider our comments because we have given complimentary reviews of the mushroom ravioli in the past.

Waitress was extremely friendly, food was great. When one person in our party didn't love her dish, she was offered a new one. She declined and when the bill came, the waitress took her entree off the total. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers, to the entrees and dessert were delicious. We constantly checked on and were able to sample one of their drink samples before making our final decision. Would totally recommend 618 to anyone looking for a delicious meal with friends.

I want to start off by saying I am a peasant so when I get a menu with food I’m not that familiar with I’m a little iffy. What caught my eye was the crab cake appetizer so for dinner I ordered two orders of the crab cake appetizer. Our waitress, Lindsey told me that although it wasn’t on the menu if I wanted her to she would order me a crab cake dinner which came with a vegetable and potatoes. I ordered it and it was delicious. Lindsey was a fantastic waitress and such a nice girl I wanted to bring her home to meet my son. My husband and I were with another couple and everyone had an absolutely delicious meal; skirt steak, branzino and filet minion. Everyone was so full we shared a dessert, ice cream sandwiches, just soooo good. Do yourself a favor and try 618, you’ll be very happy you did.

As the prices in all the Monmouth County restaurants rise, with no increase in quality and lower standards for service, 618 is not just the County's best restaurant, it is now its best value too. The appetizer and entrees are superb as always (have someone in the group order the skirt steak so you can all sample it), but make sure you leave room for the Chunky Monkey Brownie sundae.

We had dinner for our wedding anniversary. We requested Justine, as always (although every server is unbelievable) and our favorite drinks we’re waiting at our table when we arrived with a personalized card from 618. Dinner was delicious as we have eaten almost everything on the menu and have never been let down. 618 is by far the best restaurant around from the food and service to the ambiance. Incredible evening, yet again!
