Robinson’s Ale House is a sports bar type restaurant so the noise level was above average. The salmon dinner served with vegetable couscous was very good as was the beyond burger ordered with a side of fries. It was an enjoyable dinner out.

Service was great, as usual. Ordered 2 salads with salmon. The portions of salad were very small and the salmon was too rare. We were not asked how well we wanted it. We’ll be back to see if things improve. We live within walking distance.

Was happy to try a new Pier Village restaurant but was terribly disappointed. The only good thing I can say about it was our server Kevin. The food came out cold and looked like a gloppy mess. Sorry to write this but I have to be honest if the restaurant has a chance of improving.

Our go to quick meal at Pier Village was not as good as usual. The hostess stuck as a table we could not sit in near the kitchen and bathroom which we noted as things to avoid when seating us - as noted in my OpenTable profile. Asking to move us was met with hesitation and regret, The restaurant was maybe 50% full but servers were stressed thin. The person who handled our order was friendly, helpful not pushy. The meal was served quickly and tasty! I am still concerned that dining remains difficult as the Delta variant wages war in the US. Only servers wore masks inside - they need to be protected from the unvaccinated in order to encourage more workers back to hospitality otherwise dining out will be a battle for a good experience.

Great bar/restaurant. Works well for families as well as for friends getting together for a bite to eat. Food was really good. Some of our favorites were the wedge salad with Russian dressing and the margherita flatbread pizza. Definitely a place to eat at when in Long Branch. A nice addition to Pier Village!

Great location in the center of Pier Village. Buffalo shrimp was a favorite with the five of us, no one wanted to share so we ordered 5 orders. We then ordered burgers which were all cooked to our specifications. Hard to get a real medium rare but they did it. We ate at a table but am looking forward to going back and watching football at the bar!

Food and service were very good. There is a mechanical problem in the ceiling that makes some tables uninhabitable. We had to be relocated twice due to dripping water. This is not a staff issue but it certainly makes it difficult for the staff to do their jobs.
