There are several tables that were all reserved on this evening. There are some couches and Adirondack chairs. There is a wood burning fireplace outside with chairs around it. There are several outdoor heaters that keep guests warm outside. The decorations and lights are gorgeous complete with Carolers and Santa Claus. The drinks are delicious, prices are about $18 a clip. The hot apple cider with Rum is tremendous as is their reduction of Coquito. The inside is just as beautiful. I am not crazy about the menu so for me it is a drinks spot.

The tiki bar is open to the public from after Labor Day through before Memorial Day weekend and leashed and friendly dogs are allowed!

They offer a food menu and a full bar, and will bring a dog bowl out if you need one! Take a stroll on the private beach with your pup and just have a chill day watching the game on their TVs.

I arrived before my friend and was warmly greeted by a stunning hostess! I decided to have a drink in the bar while waiting for my friend as I was a little early! I can't remember when I've had a better dinner! We started with Caesar salad and a blue cheese salad! Fresh crisp, flavorful and delicious dressings My friend ordered a filet and let me just add, she's a picky eater and orders her steaks medium well! It was served with roasted potatoes and green beans. I ordered the hanger steak, medium rare, it was served with ramps chimichurri and unlimited fries! The fries! Oh my! The best, ever! The hanger steak was beyond, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. I was in heaven... And so was my friend. In lieu of bread, they serve popovers! What? Fantastic! We decided to eat in the bar room as the live music was quite good and ambience, inviting! The bartender/server, CHRIS, who is phenomenal, knew we were celebrating a birthday so he brought over complementary glasses of champagne, very sweet! I could go on and on, this restaurant is located just outside of Fairhaven/Redbank convenient exit on exit off to the Garden State Parkway. If you are in Monmouth County or not, do try this restaurant, it does not disappoint!

I…read moreencouraged my son to get the lamb since I've seen people order it a few times and even though I don't love lamb, each time it looked great. After my son asked the waitress' opinion on it, who said a lot of people order it adding that it came with 5 lollipops, he ordered it. When it came out each of the 4 (not 5) lollipops were a lot smaller than the several times I saw it and they looked much more well done than normal. We stupidly didn't send it back. I ordered the jalapeno patty melt which the bacon and bread were very overdone. I didn't say anything because it still tasted pretty good. Finally my wife's, honey hot chicken was so thin that it was mostly batter. I have eaten at Baseline several times and love it to watch games at and it's normally not this way with the food which is why I added 1 star to this review. Btw, we got to BL 2 hrs before the match and it was fairly empty so it wasn't like the kitchen was inundated at the time of our order.

Disappointed to see such harsh criticism, but that's apparently the new normal. 1. This is a new establishment so there will be a learning curve as there is at any business. 2. Everyone is short staffed. If you think you can do better ask for an application. 3. If your worried about other people wearing masks, how they wear their mask, or you don't want to get sick, STAY HOME! 4.

Our server was great but I think he was working too many tables bye himself so we kinda missed the opportunity to order a second round of drinks. We are definitely adding Black Rabbit to our regular rotation. Give it a try.

Montville, NJ - a packed restaurant full of locals at dinner hour is always a promising sign, and…read morewe rolled in on a Thursday evening around 7 to find ourselves miraculously sliding into the last two parking spots AND the only open table, woot! [Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!
