Fresh, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Even the crab‑stuffed fish, which naturally had a few small bones, was flavorful and enjoyable. Even for a busy night, service was still great. Great experience overall. read more

My favorite on the Jersey shore. I almost hate saying this because as a local I like the 2nd jetty to be a secret but that wouldn't be fair. You have to try their spoon appetizers, THE BEST! read more

I heard amazing things about this spot for months and I was finally able to try it and was so happy I did. Located right by the water and it shows - the seafood here is so fresh and absolutely delicious. A very relaxed and casual atmosphere with a valet for parking. The server was very knowledgeable on the menu and all of the specials. Highly recommend the crudo appetizer and scallops + seared tuna entrees. I will be back! read more

Perfection. Everything. I love the laid back vibe and the seafood was just incredible. The happy spoons are amongst the best bites I've ever had. I could drink the coconut lemon broth from the mussel appetizer. Our server Donny was awesome and knew the menu like the back of his hand. Drinks were cold and came out fast. I'm already dreaming of coming back. read more

The stuffed clams and fish tacos were absolutely delicious. It's a very relaxed atmosphere with great cocktails too!

Fresh, fun, and delicious but service can be inconsistent based on crowds. I didn't take pictures but get the spoons on the specials menu and I highly recommend the butter cake. It may not be listed but worth asking. read more

Always a great experience at 2nd Jetty! This time my wife and I stopped by on our way down the shore to meet some friends in Point Pleasant. Just had appetizers and beer this time. We had the Coco loco mussels in a coconut lemongrass broth and the button clams in a wine broth. Both are served with perfectly grilled crostini. The broth for both is just delicious and they both pair perfectly with an ice cold beer. Service was great as usual. Sitting outside on a beautifully warm day with the smell of the ocean in the air provided the perfect backdrop. Will be back again and again. read more

2nd Jetty is a semi-casual eatery that sits between the ocean and the bay in Sea Bright, NJ. We sat on their patio to soak up the sun on one of the last summer nights of September. Service was good, the vibe was cool, and the food was great. Highly recommend the Black and Blue burger. It was nice and juicy, cooked to medium rare served on a sesame seed bun. Also of note are the fish tacos which varies depending on their catch of the day. Looking forward to paying them another visit. read more

We were recommended to this place a few years ago, but we finally managed to get in. I'm very happy we did. We started off at the bar for a cocktail and service was great. The bartenders were very friendly. We were then seated to some delicious courses. We started off with a few appetizers between the four of us. We shared their famous caviar, tuna spoons, which are delicious and worth getting every single time. We also shared the poke tuna app, SO fresh and good, we had the tuna wontons, they were wow, and we had the tuna crudo. We were amazed at how fresh & smooth the tuna was. For my meal I got the stuffed lobster which was cooked to perfection and I love how they pulled it out and broke it out for you but put it back in. We also tried the halibut dish which was good too if your a halibut fan. We can't wait to go back! read more

My fiancé and I have been dying to try this place for a while and we finally made a reservation. The valet parking when we arrived was a pleasant surprise. Our server, Grant, gave us the rundown of the menu and what the specials were. He helped us make our final decisions which was difficult because everything sounded so good. For starters, we decided to go with the Salmon on Crispy Rice and the Tuna Tartar Happy Spoons which had Uni. They were both on the special menu so we couldn't pass them up and they did not disappoint. The salmon was very tasty and the rice was nice and crispy. They topped it with a wasabi caviar that gave it an amazing flavor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We also had the mussels. They were amazing and if I had a straw I would have drank the entire thing. For dinner my fiancé had the fish of the day stuffed with crab. The fish was cooked perfectly and the crab meat stuffing was fresh and flavorful. I ended up going with the scallop and lobster scamp over linguini which came at Grant's recommendation. He definitely steered me right because it was SO good. I have never had a scallop cooked so perfect. It was tender and melted in my mouth. For dessert, because we can NEVER pass on a peek at the dessert menu, we had the butter cake. Let me tell you about this butter cake. I was full and wasn't going to have any, but this cake smelled so good my mouth began watering the second they placed it in front of my fiancé. It was so rich and buttery. They put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top which sealed the deal. I'd go back just for the butter cake. We had amazing first experience at 2nd Jetty Seafood and will absolutely be back. read more

Cute place that gets crowded super fast around dinner time, but has a limited menu. My group and I enjoyed the coco loco mussels that came in a delicious sauce with bread. For my main dish I went simple with fish tacos and it did not disappoint. Parking is a bit tricky if you don't get there on time, but otherwise a good vibe. read more

my wife and I have had dinner at the second jetty three times and each time has been an amazing dinner The menu is very unique, especially the daily specials the service staff is excellent and they are just fun to talk to The sushi grade bluefin tuna is so moist and soft. You can cut it with a fork. The button clams is a great starter You will not be disappointed in this restaurant. It's one of the best seafood restaurants I've been to ever. read more

Finally tried this spot after wanting to for a while. They took my card just to hold a table like it's fine dining -- it's not. Waiters were rude, not welcoming, long wait for food. Branzino was half a fish, "Caribbean" dish had no flavor. Not worth it. read more

This small venue in Sea Bright had great seafood. We started with the Careless Navigator, superb shrimp, clams and oysters. The entree was a seared tuna special and it was yummy. We foolishly also ordered dessert, though we were already full. These mostly got boxed for a midnight snack. Service was friendly. Valet parking read more

This place is way too busy for the quality. Speaking of the quality, all the raw seafood was warm and led to everyone who dined with us being sick. I wouldn't even recommend this place to an enemy. The service was less than stellar with the server only talked about the priciest items. Overall incredibly poor experience, and one I'll now remember for a long time with the food poisoning pairing. read more

Great Monday night winter happy hour! Deals on Modelos, margaritas and prosecco as well as $2 oysters and $3 fancy oysters. The fancy oysters come topped with wasabi caviar and tomato jam. You can mix and match the fancy oysters and regular any way you like. We ordered the oysters - they were fresh and delicious. I also ordered the Poke of the Day which was a yellow fin tuna poke bowl. The Tuna melted in my mouth and the bowl had the perfect ratio of fish, veggies and sauce. All the servers at the restaurant were bubbly and outgoing. I really enjoyed my experience here and will be back on Mondays for more oysters and margaritas! read more

Everything was perfect. Particularly the food and service. For starters we had the clams with chorizo and garlic. Could not stop slurping this broth! Clam shells make good spoons by the way. Then had wedge salad which was light and delicious with the bacon and bacon jam. I ate light to leave room for dessert which did not disappoint, a butter cake with ice cream. Crispy outside and sweet and delightful. There are a lot of seafood options and will go back to try more. read more

Holy cow !!! My husband and I snagged a last second (2 weeks ago) reservation for this spot and I am embarrassed to admit I've lived in the area for 14 years and never visited this place because I though it was a spot for some terribly fried fish n chips sorta food. Boy was I wrong !!!!! This is gourmet seafood !!! Everything on the menu was fresh, eloquent and delicious!! We had the tuna meatballs and the stuffed crab for apps both were amazing. I had the halibut and hubby had the tuna. Also amazing. For dessert we had the brownie cookie mix and the butter cake. Omg !!! Dying. I was soo soo wrong about the quality of this spot. I can't even remember the last time I gave a five star review. This totally deserves it. read more

From the minute we got our first round of drinks to our dessert this place delivered deliciousness with every bite! The drinks were well balanced and actually tasted like they had some liquor in them. The apps were amazing the stuffed baked clams (stuffed with scallop, lobster, crab) with delicious sauce were incredible. The crab dip is to die for but would be better if they served it with more bread. Four pieces wasn't enough to finish the dip let alone and if you have over a group of 4 you'll be splitting pieces of bread. The Caribbean plate was delicious (points off for forgetting the plantains!) but the dish overall was yummy. I do wish it would've come on a board like it is usually served as everything was running into each other and there wasn't enough room to navigate the whole dish. The crab stuffed salmon with mashed potatoes was delicious nothing out of this world but definitely good. The fish tacos were swordfish and really tasty both grilled and fried. The grilled fish was covered in blackened seasoning which I happen to love but if you don't like spicy I would warn you to confirm with them whether or not the grilled fish of the day is blackened. Though the tacos tasted good they were extremely unbalanced. Some had tons of toppings others had barely anything on them. The desserts (all $12 each) were all amazing our ranking was: #1 butter cake #2 key like pie #3 cherry crisp #4 brookie The top 3 were all separated by a thin margin we'd have all of those again for sure! The only one we could do without was the brookie it was honestly nothing special and left us wishing we had ordered a second butter cake! The espresso martini was a great compliment to an already delicious meal. The service was decent our waiter forgot to ring in our salad so we missed out on that. The food runner was super nice and very helpful. The outdoor seating area was well lit and well spaced out. The indoor seating is definitely more cramped and less enticing. Overall, we will definitely be back! read more

How did I just find out about this place? What a gem in Seabright New Jersey! Loved this place and it's laid back decor. Great service and the food was spectacular! We started with the spicy calamari. It was so fresh and tender with just the right amount of heat from the peppers. Fried to perfection. Delicious! Now for the show stopper "The salmon" this was the best piece of Salmon that I've ever had. It was so fresh and it was bursting with so many different flavors. The presentation was stunning and it was a pure delightful for my taste buds. The chef put a lot of thought into this dish and it shows. Loved the puréed beet sauce and the broiled cashew crusted top was just amazing. I swear, If I had to choose one dish as my last meal this would be it. It was heavenly! I can't wait to return and order this dish again. I'm sorry I didn't discover this restaurant earlier. The chef is a culinary genius. Bravo! read more

2nd Jetty Seafood - The Happy Lobster entree - Seafood Near Me - Sea Bright, New Jersey

I enjoyed my experience with 2nd Jetty The fish is as fresh as it gets, the preparation is very imaginative. I enjoyed their Tuna steak which was seared and sliced over edamame and wasabi purée. The dish was accompanied by seaweed salad which finished the dish nicely. My wife had the linguine in Clam sauce, the dish was loaded with fresh clams in the shell, well executed. My guests both had the Mahi dinner specials which both looked beautiful, reviews were positive. Service was outstanding. I felt the prices were a bit out of line, what may have been an 8 oz portion of Tuna was Approx $38 One Mahi special was $41 No bread was offered to the table nor did the Pasta dish come with bread or a crostini. Prior to deciding how the bill would be paid there was a $5 service fee, when we inquired about it the waitress said it was for the use of a credit card. Here's the thing, the waitress didn't know how the bill would be paid nor did I see mention of this policy on the menu. One cocktail, 1 glass of wine, 2 soft drinks and 4 entrees came to $194..... If are you seeking fresh seafood with imaginative preparation I recommend 2nd Jetty...be prepared to pay. read more

The FOOD was the main star of the show. We started off with oysters which was phenomenal; we also had some of the special. I had salmon stuffed with crab and was the best fish I've had in a while! 100% will be going again. read more

My husband and I were visiting some close friends on the Jersey shore and they suggested 2nd Jetty for dinner. Upon initial outward impression, 2nd Jetty looks like your typical Jersey shore, seafood, casual dining restaurant. Located at the junction of a couple of bridges/highway overpasses with outdoor seating expanded into the parking lot it's fairly nondescript. But then the food arrives, and oh my goodness this is definitely the best seafood I've had on the Jersey shore to date! Highlights include...every single thing that we ordered. We started with the tuna meatballs which were plump and flavorful. The accompanying seaweed salad provided a nice salty - umami balance to the dish. We also ordered a couple dozen clams that were fresh and delicious. The calamari was crunchy, golden, fried deliciousness. The crudo was a piece of artwork with nearly every color of the rainbow artfully plated. It was a bright, acidic dish that was thoroughly refreshing. Now onto the main course, the Whole Lobster Fra Diavolo over linguine. First of all, the portions just don't make any sense, and I mean this in the absolutely best way possible. They give you so much actual seafood, including lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams that you forget that it is actually a pasta dish! The tomato-based sauce is rich with a slightly spicy kick, but does not overpower the native flavor of the fresh seafood. Bravo well done! The seafood tacos also looked amazing. Unfortunately, I don't know for sure because my husband was so busy wolfing down the tacos that he forgot to share. I guess that's a testament to great food, lol. We ended with absolutely rich and decadent desserts, a blondie and a peanut butter and chocolate pretzel, both smothered with cool vanilla ice cream. Mmmm On another note the service was phenomenal. Our waiter was personable, friendly and attentive. I'm so glad my friends took us to this spot. Next time we're hanging out on the Jersey shore we will definitely have go back. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the area. The food is fresh and always amazing. The same goes for the drinks. The staff exceeds all expectations and the vibe....let's just say ....every time I go( and I go every chance I get!) I feel like I left New Jersey for a couple hours and landed in a special little tropical island for dinner. It truly is my happy place . Don't change a thing! However if you could make the bar larger that would be a bonus. read more
