Stopped here for lunch during our first trip to Belmar, NJ and did not regret it! The menu is small…read morebut the flavors are huge! I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy and it was by far the best Po'Boy I have had outside of New Orleans, and might have even been better than the one I had there too. My daughter ordered the Fish and Chips, which she loved despite it being her first time trying it. The interior has that "hole in the wall" vibe with just a few tables and a few stools at the counter. The food is being made just feet away from wear you're sitting and it creates a homey vibe. The locals seem to love the place as several stopped in to either eat or chat with the two women working. I do believe they have outdoor seating at picnic tables. Overall, this place is an absolute gem and i'll definitely be back when we return to Belmar, NJ.

Happy Wednesday Adventurers! While in the area I saw this place for breakfast and decided to stop…read moreby. I grabbed a to go because I had somewhere to be. It's cash only or Venmo, which I find its pretty normal for smaller local spots. The thing about this location was that it reminded me of Maine, the walls are painted this beautifully brilliant blue with nautical inspired decor. My favorite was the fishies above a fishing boat, which I had to take a snap of. I ordered 3 eggs over medium, with rye, and a side of bacon. The eggs were still a bit too runny, but its a standard breakfast. I want to go back and to sit there because the staff were super nice. If I lived closer then I'd prolly be here all the time. I saw a reviewer complain about the sign showing open, but they weren't. Honestly businesses making that mistake all the time, but to point it out is just whatever. Highly recommend stopping by here early because I have a feeling they're super busy with the locals.

On this nippy day in October, I wanted comfort food. Kaya's Kitchen is a vegan restaurant that…read moreoffers excellent comfort food as well as some exciting seasonal specials. Upon perusing the menu, I ordered the classic Lentil Loaf. It came accompanied by mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned sauteed vegetables on the side. Perfection. My better half ordered the Autumn Bowl special, which was equally spectacular. Our server, Tess, constantly checked in on us to ensure we had enough water and asked if we needed any additional items. I had mentioned I preferred extra gravy for my dish, and she made sure my lentil loaf had an abundance of gravy. Everything was exceptional, and it was obviously made with care and love in their kitchen. Their desserts are not made in-house, like their entrees, but they do curate them from a wonderful vegan bakery. From being warmly greeted, seeing familiar classics and new additions, everything was outstanding. The prices are still affordable and in today's economy, a stellar value.

We had some bread at the table and it was just so-so. Entrees consisted of the Twisted Shrimp Oreginata that was quite good. My wife chose the Papardelle Carbonara and the dsih came out cold. After being reheated it lost the freshness expected with fresh pasta. FS is BYOB, so that is a plus.

Visited Cave Bistro off the recommendation of a friend, and also DDD (iykyk)…read more I've frequented many DDD Restaurant's in the past, and they always seem to be very crowded. So just to be safe, I did make a reservation right when the restaurant opened. Seems to say I played it a bit too safe, I was the only one i there for the first 20-min.! In any case, then dining area was very bright and open, and I was seated near the window, which I enjoyed. I tried three foods, appetizer-entree-dessert, here's the breakdown: 1) Appetizer: Pan Roasted Achiote Octopus ($22) which has Shaved Pickled Carrots & Onions, Chermoula. For 1 person, this was quite substantial and a delicious start to the meal. The octopus wasn't tough, it was cooked perfectly, with a nice char-grilled flavour. Paired up with the accoutrements, it was a 10/10 way to begin my meal! 2) Entree: Grass-Fed Beef-Roasted Marrow Burger ($26) which has Raclette Cheese, Caramelized Onion-Tomato Jam, Fresh Baked Gluten Free Brioche Bun, & Beef Tallow Fries. Why 4-stars? Because of this item. The day I arrived the restaurant was trying their new "Baked Gluten-Free Brioche" on me, apparently I was one of the first --- the bread was dry AF, lol! I loved the burger --- the marrow taste, the raclette cheese --- I sing their praises, but wrong day to test out the "test bread"! It ended up on a Yelp Review. Hopefully the bread-recipe has been improved on after this review. PS: The onion-tomato jam perfectly pairs with the richness of the marrow burger. 3) Lastly, I ordered for dessert the bread pudding. They don't put their desserts on the menu, but if you ask the server they will let you know what the restaurant has for the day. I believe it's seasonal as well. It was average at best, good ---- but didn't stand-out. Overall, I'd totally recommend a stop-by if you're in the area! It's always awesome visiting these sites features on DDD, and tasting for yourself the hype behind their food!

Planning on a return trip to eat all the small plates and give the spring lamb bolognese with whipped ricotta on rigatoni a try. Unpretentious relaxing vibe, small space and service with a smile.

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.

We had the Blueberry Pancakes and Veggie Omelette. The pancakes came and I was a little surprised as they weren't 'puffy and fluffy'. I make pancakes once a week and always strive for a fluffy pancake. However, there was no difference in the taste! These blueberry pancakes were delicious! I also asked for the 'pure maple syrup' which was an additional charge. We also shared the Veggie Omelette; what an amazing omelette it was! It was as fluffy an omelette as I've ever had, it was full of peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach and cheese! It was excellent!

They do have excellent bar food such as flatbreads, wings, and large pretzels, but we were impressed with their stuffed shrimp entree, drunken clams, and more. We heard the short rib sliders were a favorite, so the staff listened to their patrons and created a whole short rib burger to be added to the menu. I really like when a restaurant deeply takes into consideration the needs and wants of their patrons! It says a lot about how they operate the business. Please end your meal with the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was so chocolatey, soft and decadent. It's a must. The service was phenomenal and very prompt. We also liked the many tvs and different seating options there, as well as the cozy intimate bar atmosphere. Definitely hope to come back soon next time I'm in the area!

They were barely half full and the noise was not extremely loud. I had the New England clam chowder and as usual it was a great start to the meal. Plenty of clams and potatos in a creamy white sauce. To start the meal they also provided bread sticks with sesame seeds which is a real nice alternative to dinner rolls. With the sticks they also providing a dipping sauce that really tasted great. This the only place I can remember having breadsticks during dinner and loved it. For dinner I had stuffed flounder with rice and vegetables. The fish was prepared real well and came with plenty of crabmeat and stuffing. Inside it was real moist and tasted great. Along with that was rice and mixed vegetables. In the restaraunt the vegetables were a bit harder then I would prefer but when I reheated the meal at home they were perfect. But if you you are an al dente vegetable they would be fine for you. My wife picked something off the specials of the day. Shrimp, Mahi, broccoli, mushrooms, pine nuts all over rice. She felt this was a great meal and would definitely get it again. It was a nice blend of a bunch of tastes and textures, and the pine nuts are always a great addition to a meal. With less people to deal with the service was right on point, with several returns to our table to make sure everything was well. I feel you will always have a great meal here. But at times there will be a wait to get a table and it will be a bit loud... But in my mind you will always walk out smiling
