    My second time there (because I liked it the first time) and I was not disappointed. Food and service were both great and the restaurant was kind and generous in acknowledging my birthday. It is becoming my favorite restaurant in the upper Jersey shore area! Highly recommend!

    Enjoyed Mother’s Day dinner with my wife. Limited menu, but would have preferred more options for salad and soup. Our waitress was very attentive.

    I was disappointed with both my cocktail and my meal. The appetizers (meatballs & riceballs) were yummy and the spicy rigatoni was good according to my children but not very spicy. The meal was very expensive for 4 people.

    We attended the Mother's Day brunch, which was buffet style. There were 2 omelet stations, chafing dishes that included eggs Benedict, french toast, chicken breasts, salmon, chicken fingers, fries, mashed potatoes (with sour cream and chives nearby!). There was a pasta station that offered a quick saute in either meatless or meaty tomato sauce and a carving station with ham, pork loin and prime rib. Over on the salad side, there was a spring salad, Caesar salad and pasta salad, grilled vegetable, cheese and fruit platters and bagels with cream cheese, lox, and chopped red onion. There was also a shrimp platter that featured colossal shrimp and an excellent cocktail sauce. Unlimited drinks were included. Two of us ordered Mimosas, the third, a Bloody Mary. The Mimosas were very good but the bloody Mary could have used a bit more spice. The food was well-prepared and plentiful. My personal favorites were the shrimp and a pasta mix I created using the farfalle pasta, grated cheese, parsley and chunks of Gruyere from the cheese board. The room was filled but amazingly quiet; I suppose everyone was too busy enjoying their food to talk too much. Our waitress, Ashley, was so friendly and very much on top of everything, repeatedly checking on our needs. She's usually on the restaurant side and I promised to ask for her next time we dine there. The owner also stopped at our table and was happy to hear we were enjoying this event. This definitely is a place to keep in mind for a nice dinner out or for a party event as they have the facilities and staff for both.
