In an area of the shore with very average food. This exceeds expectations. Fresh ingredients, made to order. The staff so welcoming and attentive. Owner checking on everyone. They care and it shows through their food. The same day the seafood comes in on the boat, it’s served that night. The best place around.
Toms Rivers finest dining establishment by far. Service, excellent. Food, outstanding quality and presentation. So nice to see the owner walking the floor and greeting his guests. What a beautiful evening we had celebrating a birthday. We will be back!
Me and my family went to celebrate my birthday here and everything was amazing! Me and dad split the 45oz tomahawk steak, which had the truffle Mac and cheese, garlic confit mash, and the beer battered onion rings, and the presentation on it was top notch! The bone is engraved and the steak was cooked perfectly! Me and my girlfriend also split the steakhouse bacon appetizer, best I’ve had! Honorable mentions to get are the salmon and the French cut chicken. All of which were delicious. Easy 10/10 highly recommend for anyone in need of a fancy dinner.
Absolutely can’t say enough worth a visit! Food is delicious. Sorry for the messy plate photo’s, they came out looking like they should be in a magazine but we started digging in too quickly and then grabbed some quick photos. Service was amazing. We ordered the whipped ricotta, lobster bisque, spicy rigatoni, charbroiled broccoli and the bouillabaisse. All are a 10 out of 10! Will absolutely be back. Also a BYOB which is awesome. Liquor store 2 mins down the street. From out of town and will make the drive to come back!
We recently had the pleasure of dining here for a date night, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding — the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout the meal. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the tomahawk steak. It was cooked to absolute perfection, exactly the way we wanted it. The flavor was rich, the texture was tender, and it was clear that they use only the finest ingredients. Every bite was pure bliss, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. We cannot wait to go back and bring our friends/family with us!
Absolutely loved this place! Everything was delicious and our waitress and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.
Love, love, love this restaurant. NY strip was outstanding with the roasted garlic. Brussels and Broccolini were amazing. Panna Cotta and Pistachio Gelato were heavenly and service was top notch!! Can't wait to return!!!
