POINT PLEASANT BEACH: visiting The Ark Pub and Eatery is one of the best dining experiences we…read moreever had. Fantastic service, food, and we love their space. They have great people and management who really care about the customer experience. The Ark puts an emphasis on local and work with family run NJ businesses to provide the freshest ingredients. They offer a farm to table menu with seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more! A great cocktail list, full bar, and over 100 beer offerings including from NJ breweries. They also offer lunch specials seven days a week! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at the back outdoor patio that has a Key West vibe and fully covered on top by a tent. They are also allowed inside with a beautiful pub/tavern feel with woodwork and dim lighting. Olivia was our awesome server and was attentive, friendly, and gave Brie lots of love. There are TVs to watch the game, events throughout the week, and if you bring your own freshly caught fish, they will cook it for you!

The one got our order wrong for our but we didn't mind. It's pretty loud so he most likely misheard us. Steak tacos Salsa is just chopped tomato's but good favor and the guacamole is good. Classic. Not too garlicy. Overall it was good. Kinda bland and chewy. Cali burger Burger is good but a lotttt of salt. Fresh cut fries are good. Crispy and good fresh potato flavor but caked in thick grain salt.

After waiting an entire hour, we checked back at 9:55 a.m. to see what was going on. Instead of being seated, we were told it would be another 25 minutes. Delays happen, but being given inaccurate wait times and then having them extended without any communication is unacceptable. If you value your time, I would recommend going elsewhere. This was a disappointing experience, especially on Father's Day weekend. We ended up leaving.. Happy Father's Day.

He's beyond attentive, knows the menu inside and out, and clearly takes pride in his craft. His Old Fashioned is the best I've ever had--and I've had them everywhere. The martini is equally impressive, with that perfect cloudy glow that only comes from a flawlessly balanced shake. A phenomenal start to the evening. The food more than lives up to the experience at the bar. Every dish is precisely prepared, beautifully executed, and made with abundant, high-quality ingredients. You can taste the care and consistency in every bite. Without question, Shipwreck Grill is one of the best restaurants in Monmouth County. A true standout and a place I'll return to again and again.

Something as simple as including it in the confirmation text would be a game changer for an experience. Nonetheless the food and service were nothing great. Strongly recommend getting the poached pear salad, great portion as well (we split it between 3 guests) the calamari was very fresh and light (I know even for a fried item you could taste the lightness) For our meals we ordered the scallops, the lobster special and a chicken pasta (modification) the seafood quality is absolutely palpable and the accompaniments are very well thought out. The food lacked salt but that's an easy fix. Will definitely be back (with a bottle of wine!)
