Once we sat down our server arrived who seemed less than pleased to be serving us, he was nice enough but barley spoke with us and seemed to not want to be there. For food I had the Mediterranean omelette which truthfully was not very good, it was borderline flavorless. Additionally our server barley checked in with us. Ambiance is fine, its your typical casual brunch spot - don't expect anyone dressed well or an elevated experience. I definitely don't think this was the best showcase of Toast as I have heard great things so they may have just been having an off day. I would definitely give it another shot.

This place is located on the corner and parking appears to be street parking only. I stopped by around 11:30 and was able to be seated immediately. They have bar seating which is first come first serve as well as tables throughout. Bar seating was much quicker. After about 5 mins my waitress came and took my order. Challah French Toast, Homefries and Bacon. 15/20 minutes go by and my food came. The Homefries are a good portion. They are seasoned well. The bacon was warm and crispy as well. The challah French toast was delicious. I enjoyed my meal overall. Overall this is a good place that met my expectations. The food was as expected and the portion size was good as well. They do charge a fee for using your card as shown on my receipt. A tad bit tacky to me but I understand.

Walked around & landed on this place. Such a swanky cool kind of new age hipster but also vintage vibe? Lol No idea! But I sure was digging it! The bartender was super sweet in helping me make a decision for dinner, because I wanted to try it ALL. I folded on the Lemony Shrimp & Bean stew (absolutely spectacular and this is coming from someone that doesn't like being or vegetable type soups) the leeks were so yummy but the shrimp was the star, just look at how huge they were. Sliced Flat Iron - SO JUICY. Such flavor! Literally haven't had any steak til this day that could replicate that flavor of the scallion chimichurri and celery root purée. It has been over a year now since I've been here, and I still CRAVE, I'm talking I have full on dreams about having this place again. Can confirm, I AM Homesick.

Located less than a mile from the beach area, this place is a not-quite-so-hidden-gem tucked away from the boardwalk buzz, perfect for a chill meal before or after your seaside stroll.

Healthy and delicious, we enjoyed the tempeh Caesar salad, the chickpea tuna salad sandwich, and a milkshake.

Leashed dogs are allowed at the cute outdoor seating and you can people watch and enjoy the weather. A couple of tables on the porch are covered by the building and another couple are on the sidewalk. It is also very sunny, so make sure your dog is comfortable from the heat and sits in a shaded spot. We were told dogs are also allowed inside and when we took a peek,, it is such a fun space! There are old-school games, a Photo Booth, and has a bright and colorful design! 69 Main Avenue Ocean Grove, NJ 07756

When they're good, they're GREAT…read more When they're not... the cheese on the cheese fries is runny instead of thick, the ice cream is foamy instead of creamy, the sundaes are sloppy instead of luscious, and sandwiches randomly don't come with chips as they usually do. They're also always out of some menu items: mac and cheese, whipped cream, etc. Depending on who is working they'll either cheerily bring the food to your table (it's counter service) or just yell your name from inside. They also charge a 3% "dine service charge" with no explanation. I hope they can find some consistency because we really want to support this adorable place.

The booths are on the smaller side, so if you are a big back like me, consider this a warning.

The place itself is cute inside, service was fine - nothing bad, nothing standout. Overall: a fine diner stop

The Asbury Lanes Diner was attached to the bowling alley and adjacent to The Asbury hotel. The…read morediner was super kitschy and transported you to the 1950's, but it was also very tiny and had an extremely limited menu. Between the old-timey decor and near empty dining area, it felt a bit Twilight Zone-ish. Despite the odd atmosphere and basic menu options, our server was a sweetheart, and the food was delicious. I got the Asbury Platter, which included two eggs my way (scrambled egg whites), my choice of breakfast meat (crispy bacon that I gave to my friend), home fries, and my preference of toast (whole wheat). As I mentioned, there was nothing special about these items, but the eggs and potatoes were perfectly seasoned and served in the ideal portion size. I also had ordered a mug of coffee, which was super weak and watery. I would definitely recommend skipping that and getting a brew from an actual coffeeshop instead. The Asbury Diner worked for a quick breakfast and would be a decent option for quick and greasy fare, but I would not make it a planned destination.

You're only review, you've only been once and decide to go onto a public forum and give 1 star. Anyway off my soapbox. Pascal and Sabine not only has some of the best cocktails and bartenders in Asbury but possibly NJ. I have been countless times with my wife, my kids, large groups you name it. My favorite way to experience Pascal is to sit at the bar get a couple cocktails (The Jackal is a staple), the Madame Smith Burger (my wife gets the Mr Smith) the fries are amazing, and maybe the escargot and just enjoy. It's up there with some of the most perfect nights out in Asbury you can have. Hope this 5 star review balance out a ridiculous 1 star review. - YH
