    Place was really nice and casual - I expected it to be ritzy and stuffy but it was completely the opposite, which was a pleasant surprise! Our server was super friendly and down to earth, we loved her! (Courtney) The food was presented perfectly and everything was delicious. 10/10.

    LOCH ARBOUR: Tucked into a gorgeous spot on the edge of Asbury Park, Deal Lake Bar + Co offers dog friendly outdoor seating with stunning views of Deal Lake. The spacious patio was buzzing on a perfect summer evening, a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. With American style eats, a standout cocktail menu, a full bar, and genuinely attentive service, it is the ideal hangout for you and your pup. We especially love the outdoor bar, which adds to the relaxed, beach-town vibe. Do not miss their Happy Hour: Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM, enjoy $8 bar snacks and 50% off all beer, wine, and cocktails (at the bar only). Live music a few nights a week adds to the fun. Fun fact: the team behind Deal Lake Bar Co. also owns Low Dive, Swimcrush, Palmetto, and The Black Swan, all with dog-friendly seating in Asbury Park!

    Shrimp taco appetizer

    Quite good. Kinda industrial chic decor; it was a quiet Sunday lunch, but I could imagine the hard surfaces cause it to get noisy on a busy weekend night. Well made drinks, food tasty, not overly expensive. Pleasant service, tons of parking a bonus.

    Deal Lake Bar & Co "Burger on the DL" - ketchup added by me in attempt to improve the un-cooked "smash burger".  FAIL!

    So disappointed! We've had their "burger on the DL" (smash burger) in-house in the past and it was delicious. The menu says they're only available "well-done". Yesterday we ordered 2 for take-away, and they were NOT smashed. They weren't even completely cooked! The app said it would be ready in 30 minutes. It was ready in maybe 15 minutes -- because they didn't cook it!! It was a Monday evening, around 6:30. It wasn't busy AT ALL in the restaurant. They didn't have to rush to fill orders. Isn't there anyone in the kitchen making sure the food is cooked to a proper standard? in the picture, I added ketchup in an attempt to make the burger taste better. It didn't help. Makes me join my other friends who say they don't like the food at DL Bar & co.

    Nice bar and grill in Deal, NJ located on a little river or "lake". Big seating area with tons of indoor and outdoor space. Outdoor space had overhead umbrellas and fans for when it is sunny and/or very hot out. Staff was friendly and attentive. Pretty casual setting with plastic cups for beer and water. The waitress we had was attentive to our party and explained the food allergy situation to someone in our group. All orders came out correctly. Our group ordered the following: Wings - 8 piece and came with 3 sauces. Solid Nachos - would not recommend. Not enough cheese, chicken was kind of dry, and there was a mound of crushed chips on the bottom, making it rather inedible without a spoon Caesar salad - added fried chicken on top 2x Nashville hot honey sandwiches - came with sweet potato fries - fries were excellent Ribs - supposedly very good. Came with a side Burger - was rather plane. Came with potato wedges, which was basically a quartered baked potato Mac N Cheese - do not recommend. Not good. Watery and minimal cheese Extensive beer menu. Reasonable prices. Would go back

    My friend and I were in town for an event and looking for a place to grab an early dinner…read morebeforehand when I came across Moonstruck. The restaurant was located in a multi-floor home on Wesley Lake, just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Cookman Avenue. The first floor was more of a bar and lounge, and they had a live jazz band on the evening we visited. We checked in with the hostess and were escorted up to the second floor dining room, which was a charming spot that was breezy and comfortable, yet refined. The floor also had its own bar. Our server was on top of things, but was also clearly newer to the place. Regardless, once we got settled, she took our drink orders, which had taken us some time to decide on since the menu was creative and vast. I went with A Sidecar Named Desire, which included Courvoisier VSOP, Cointreau, Chinola passionfruit liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. I adore passion fruit and had always liked sidecars as well, so I figured it was worth a try, and I loved it! It had a good balance of tart sweetness and smokiness. My friend similarly enjoyed her spicy margarita, and we both imbibed while picking on some bread and herb butter. For our meal, we decided to start by sharing the Greek Salad, which was a massive bowl of romaine topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, red onions, and Kalamata olives. We left off the feta cheese, but enjoyed the seasoned dressing made of red wine vinegar, honey, salt, oregano, and olive oil. It was a fresh and flavorful mix of vegetables that was a pleasure to eat. The entree options were endless and offered something for everyone. I wound up going with the Chilean Sea Bass, which was served over sweet onions and potatoes in a tomato herb reduction. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked. It was a light and tasty dish that seemed perfect for the Spring season. After our meals we were a bit too full for dessert, but we decided to get a second round of drinks, mainly because I was dying to try their Pistachio Espresso-Tini. Wow, was that drink delicious! It blended Ketel One Vodka, Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur, natural pistachio flavor, and fresh espresso. The coffee notes were not super prevalent, but the creaminess, nuttiness was the real highlight. It was a decadent way to end a delicious meal. After we settled the bill and headed downstairs, I noticed several bowls of after-dinner mints, which were a nice touch. From the relaxed atmosphere to the interesting and expansive menu, Moonstruck was a terrific option for our Asbury dinner experience.

    My husband and I recently had dinner at Moonstruck, and unfortunately, it was one of the most…read moredisappointing dining experiences we've ever had. Our server, Michael, provided by far the worst service we've ever received. He appeared to be under the influence of something, as he spent long periods simply standing around making odd faces while our table and several others waited and waited for him to acknowledge us. We were left wondering if anyone was going to take care of us. When my husband politely asked about our meal, Michael became rude instead of apologetic or helpful. The food itself had good flavor, but it arrived cold, like it was not served right away, which was disappointing. To end the meal, we ordered a cappuccino, but it was so poorly made that it tasted like nothing but warm milk. It was completely undrinkable. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've always loved Moonstruck. It's been one of my favorite restaurants because of its excellent food and outstanding service. If this is the level of service the new owners are willing to accept, I worry about the restaurant's future. I truly hope management addresses these issues because Moonstruck has always been top notch!

The service was excellent throughout the entire evening, and every cocktail we ordered was fantastic. We started with a few appetizers, which were the perfect way to kick off the meal before diving into our mains. For dinner, we ordered the Duck Rice, Schnitzel, octopus, and mushroom skewer. While everything was delicious, the Duck Rice and Schnitzel were the clear standouts. Both were packed with flavor, and the Schnitzel was an especially generous portion without feeling over the top. It was perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying. To top off the night, we headed downstairs to their cocktail bar, Laylow, and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun, the cocktails were just as impressive as dinner, and it was the perfect way to end the evening. If you're in Asbury Park, I definitely recommend checking out Reyla and making a stop at Laylow afterward. Great food, outstanding service, amazing drinks, and an all-around memorable experience.

We opted to sit at the bar because the vibe looked good. I had a lemondrop martini from the half price menu and it was good but a little too sweet. Then I had the Blood Sugar Sex Magic from the regular menu and it was unique and fun. I then had an espresso martini with dessert. I was feeling good after that. We did three appetizers: hummus, falafel, and the halloumi. The hummus had a nice texture but it could have used a little more lemon and garlic. But it was served with a jumble of fresh herbs on top which was very nice. The falafel was amazing. The texture was perfect: very crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. Not like the dense falafel you get in some places. It was serviced on top of a delicious red pepper sauce. The server told me it was an old family recipe. The halloumi was fantastic. Very generous and covered in a very crispy coating. It sat in a pool of hot honey. They brought the appetizers out one at a time, which was the perfect way to pace it. We were pretty full by the end so we shared one entrée. We had the lamb kofta. It was cooked perfectly and sat atop a pomegranate labneh. It was also delicious. For dessert my husband had the chocolate cake which was only ok. I had the baklava malabi which was sooo delicious. Great meal and excellent service. Paul the bartender was friendly and made good drinks.

My family of 4 had a 6:30pm reservation on a Friday, and it was the perfect timing, the restaurant wasn't packed, but there was still a great energy and atmosphere. The space itself is beautiful, and from the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. We started with the nachos, and if you're expecting your traditional pile of tortilla chips, cheese and toppings, these are definitely not that! They're individual tostadas topped with guacamole, salsa, cheese and crema. A fun twist and actually really delicious. The kids went with the chicken and cheese quesadilla, which was a huge hit. Simple, but SO good, definitely one of those dishes where I kept sneaking bites from the kids. My husband ordered the Tlayuda Masa, and we actually had to ask our server what it was. He immediately told us it was his favorite item on the Masa section of the menu, so of course we had to trust him. And he was absolutely right! It's essentially an open corn tortilla topped with incredibly tender skirt steak and a seriously good sauce. This ended up being one of the standout dishes of the meal. I ordered the pescado and carnitas tacos, two come with each order, and WOW. Both were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I honestly couldn't decide which I liked more, which is always a good problem to have when ordering tacos. And the whole time I kept thinking, "This feels like a restaurant I'd find in Brooklyn." The food is creative without feeling overly complicated, the space is stylish, and there's just a really cool vibe here. We finished with dessert and tried the flan, which was interesting but personally wasn't my favorite. Then came the horchata ice cream... OH. MY. GOODNESS. I have never had horchata ice cream before, and I am officially wondering where it has been all my life. 10/10. Creamy, flavorful and SO good. Our server mentioned that the menu changes seasonally, which gives me another reason to come back. I would love to see what they do with the fall menu!
