We had such a wonderful experience! Our waitress, Bailey was absolutely amazing--she had such a warm, friendly personality and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The food was delicious and fresh. Excellent service paired with great food made for a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back and hope to have her as our waitress again. Highly recommend!

Went here for my sister's birthday and everything was amazing. Food, drinks, service, and the incredible ambiance. What more could you want from a place. The food melts in your mouth and if you're an aesthetics person you will love the decor. It's whimsical and enchanting. The elegant outdoors brought inside. (Aniya and Carl's date brought indoors Iykyk.) Service was attentive and he was always there when needed. Will be back for another enchanting experience. Free Valet parking as well.

A special message only a few would know by who.

This place will surprise you! Never judge a book by its cover- this would be one. Very clean and very private, tho you're sharing the space with others you could hear each other. Music was great as the DJ sits in a low table and you would never know it. Service was great fun and very attentive to all our needs. Recommend for other celebrations and wedding too.

I've dined here several times with friends, we hosted my mother in law's 70th birthday in a private room & most recently, I attended a Yelp event here. Every single time it's been awesome. The vibe here is unmatched and the food is just amazing. I love the dim lights and the decor throughout. Their attention to detail is obvious, the love they put into their food is obvious & their happy staff obviously love people and love working here, even the valet guys were nice. 618, I will be back soon.

I am so happy Freehold has a place like 618! Incredible food, service and vibes. The cocktail service is so fun, when they served us our drinks they came on a platter with dry ice. The food has zero misses, the salmon was absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend 618 and I can't wait to come back!

Had the most amazing anniversary dinner here! From start to finish, the service was amazing. We ordered two speciality cocktails, two apps, two meals (skirt steak is a must!!!), an espresso martini shot flight & a dessert for $200!!!! That's incredible at a place like this! I will definitely be coming back.

WOW - blown away by this establishment. One of the best meals I've ever had. If I could give them ten stars I would! From the moment we walked in for our reservation, they were kind, attentive and informative. Everyone at my table ordered a drink. They came with a fun display! We opted to order the prefixed course and all four people had the 618 experience. Started with granny's meatballs, short rib ravioli, and crab cakes. Then we had burrata, fried lobster, salad, scallops. Main course was steak, pasta, more lobster price, potatoes and carrots. We were skeptical that family style would fill us all, but it did! Ended with three desserts. Everything was phenomenal - full of flavor! They even places a nice candle in the dessert for my husband's birthday. Can't wait to return back!

For us, 618 is an "occasion restaurant". So that's where my wife and I went for my birthday. We had a 5:00 reservation on a Friday night and were sat immediately. From the cocktail menu, we got a Lychee Martini and Berry White Margarita. So good and refreshing. Entrees were Shirt Steak with shrimp and Cabernet Braised Short Rib. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. I've never had a chimichurri sauce with steak before, but it was a great pairing. My wife commented the green beans with short ribs were "like crack", couldn't stop eating them . For dessert, we shared the Warm Sticky Toffee Cake, and it was delicious! Our server was Austin, who was amazing! Great personality and knew the menu inside and out! We've been to 618 before, and know they are really sweet if you are celebrating by providing a dessert on the house with a sparkler. But I said no to the question if we're celebrating tonight not wanting the attention. Austin surprised us with an ice cream sandwich from Jersey Freeze to take home with us. So, that was an unexpected bonus to an overall great night!

Amazing experience every time we come! I want to start off by saying it truly is an experience when coming from the decor to the service and of course with the food and drinks. We tried a few mocktails which were presented to us like a show! Short rib ravioli and Mac and cheese appetizers never disappoint and pork belly appetizer was next level! Decor here is gorgeous and Mike was amazing. Thank you for making each special occasion we celebrate here so awesome!

We decided to dine here for my daughter's birthday. From the moment we walked in until the very end of dinner the entire experience was amazing. Our server Celine B. was so attentive, the drinks were unique and every dish we tried was delicious. We ordered: Apps: -short rib ravioli -crispy broken truffle spuds -crispy pork belly Mains: -chicken milanese -handmade fusilli Calapresi -Cabernet braised short rib with whipped mashed potatoes -10 oz spinalis Dessert: -double decaf espresso -espresso & Macallan 12 -pistachio martini -espresso martini shot The space is beautiful inside and the private parking lot is a plus. I will definitely be back.

Service was great! Wait staff was very attentive. Food was good. We had the grannies meatballs for appetizers. They were good. I had the Cabernet braised beef short ribs and my husband had the short rib ravioli. Both were good and tasty but the ravioli portion could have been bigger. For dessert we both had what they called "gelato", while the taste was good, it was far from gelato, it was ice cream. All in all the food was good, service was great the atmosphere was elegant but very loud. It is definitely a drop off from their other restaurant Mezcal! That by far was in a class by itself.

Pork chop

Finally had dinner at 618, and the food was fantastic! I've known about 618 since I looked into them a couple of years ago as a potential wedding venue. We arrived on Saturday for an early dinner at 5:15 pm, and the restaurant and bar were already super lively. Thankfully, they offer complimentary valet parking, which is helpful since the parking lot isn't huge--especially if there's a wedding taking place in their upstairs hall space. The restaurant is very pretty and romantic inside, with rustic brick, large chandeliers, and decorative florals throughout. It would be a great date spot. We had a large booth table tucked away in a back corner, as we were a party of seven. The table was very spacious and had a lazy Susan in the center, which made sharing appetizers easy! We ordered several appetizers to start--meatballs, short rib ravioli, BBQ shrimp with grits, crab cakes, and the spuds. Everything was delicious; my favorites were the meatballs and the shrimp. For my main course, I had the pork chop, and my husband had the short rib. We both loved our entrées. The pork chop was a large portion, so I brought half of my dish home. The short rib portion was a lot smaller. Others at our table had the special snapper, the halibut, and the filet mignon. Everyone was happy with their dishes. We ended the meal with three orders of the pistachio olive oil cake--so good! My one complaint is that the drinks didn't feel very strong. There were also some service issues. Our large order of appetizers came out surprisingly quickly, as did our entrées. Unfortunately, all our silverware was cleared with the appetizers, so none of us had utensils when our entrées arrived. Also, only six of the seven main dishes came out initially, and it took several minutes before the final snapper dish was brought out. Other than that, it was a pleasant meal. Several managers were floating around the main dining floor and regularly checked in on us to make sure we were okay. I will keep 618 in mind the next time I am in the Freehold area and can get a reservation! There were several items I didn't get to try this visit that sounded interesting and yummy!

Some people at my table were ok with their items but my family didn't particularly enjoy theirs. I tried the ribeye cheesesteak which was pretty bland. My wife tried th Tuscan Caesar wrap. I had a bite of hers and it was also very bland. The Caesar dressing is a vinaigrette dressing which isn't ideal for a Caesar wrap and in this instance confirmed that. The French fries were just ok. It was more breading than anything. The water however was fresh. Maybe not the most important thing but surprisingly good for a restaurant. Folks in my party also order several margaritas which they advised were just mid. They didn't really taste any of the top shelf tequila they paid additionally. All in all it's a convenient place to sit and eat before or after having to take the kids to play in the gaming area for the day. Great service, but mid food.

Luckily happy hour just started and margaritas were only $9. I saw on the menu they now changed the verbiage for the poke bowls and adjusted it to raw vs cooked. I decided to order a poke bowl again and I'm very glad I did. I chose lettuce as my base as I had a very heavy lunch earlier in the day. The dressing I chose was the sesame dressing. It was light and not too overpowering, you get a lot of fresh salmon. Honestly was a great improvement from the last time. Additionally, service was better this time around. Our bartender was very attentive and had us in and out of the restaurant within an hour.

Dear Dave, First and…read moreforemost, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting together an absolutely incredible event for our son JP. Walking into a venue I had never been to before--and knowing how particular I can be--I'll admit I was taking a bit of a chance. But you and your team delivered nothing short of a first-class experience from start to finish. You knocked it out of the park. From the moment I dropped things off the night before, I was struck by how professional, respectful, and accommodating every single member of your staff was. Each one was a complete gentleman--not just with me, but with all of our guests. It didn't go unnoticed, and it meant a lot. My wife and I are still receiving phone calls from guests raving about everything--from the appetizers, to the Escarole, sausage and beans (which you may seriously want to consider adding to your menu!), and of course, the desserts. People can't stop talking about it. Thank you again for making the night so special for JP, and for making it all look effortless. It was an amazing experience all around, and we're truly grateful. If you ever need anything from the entertainment side please reach out I would love to help if I can. Thank you, The Abbruzzese Family
