40 Dollar Breakfast?…read more Short review, a breakfast place with no waitstaff. You order at the counter and pick up. We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 coffees, 40 dollars. Sandwiches are not big and you have to dress your own coffee. Sandwiches were good but the coffee was not "award winning." I went back in to pour myself a little more coffee and got dirty looks. I thought for 40 bucks that I could refill my coffee cup. Beware of the prices when you go in. I think hot coffees are like 8 or 9 bucks, ridiculous. Thanks

When we sat down last night for dinner I noticed that the wine glasses were visibly dirty, not water stains, but actual bits of food stuck to the glasses, new ones came that looked basically the same. I ordered drunken chicken parm which came out cold and bland. My husband ordered the flounder risotto which was also served cold, the fish had a fishy taste and the risotto was mushy. As much as I wanted to love this place and I hate to write a bad review, I just can't justify a $90 tab before tip for only two entrees.

The Great Divide is great, and I honestly can't tell the difference between the coveted pork roll and Taylor ham, but I guess that's part of the fun. The coffee is exquisite, made fresh and very well. I noticed a bunch of drinks pre-made, so it looks like you can order ahead, and I'd recommend doing that if so. The inside is cramped, but it's generally meant for picking up and ordering, not a typical coffee spot with laptops and headphones.

In the front, they have refrigerators that have fresh juice, yogurt parfaits, drinks, and more. The vegan options are well priced however I wish the burgers and sandwiches came with a side instead of adding a small fry for four dollars. I got the BLTA burger and added a small fry and it is fresh, tastes amazing, and I really enjoyed everything that I ate. The service was great. The guy that was working was polite and the food came out pretty fast. This is definitely a great place with a lot of options if you are vegetarian or vegan. I can't wait to come back and try something else!

There was…read moreliterally no line, yet the woman working the front acted like she had never worked there a day in her life. She didn't even properly take our number, and the entire process was ridiculously unorganized. Then the food came, and somehow it was even worse. Everything was bland, mediocre, and completely underwhelming. They forgot our two eggs, so we had to WALK BACK just to remind them. When they finally gave them to us, it wasn't even the full amount we ordered. Seriously? Ain't no way this was 2 eggs it felt like nothing. And apparently getting basic things like powdered sugar and butter was too much to ask. There was no powdered sugar, no butter, and the coffee was absurdly sweet. Nothing about this experience felt properly managed. The service was rude, the food was disappointing, and the entire place felt completely unorganized. For what we paid, I expected at least the bare minimum. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Seeing the reviews made me believe this place would live up to the stars but it fell short. I wouldn't recommend eating here if it's past opening and even better skip the restaurant completely.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS: Seaside Social House is right in the heart of town and is a great restaurant with…read morea menu known for their unique style of pizza. They also have sandwiches, salads, wraps, and apps in addition to a great cocktail list and full bar. Their outdoor patio is dog friendly and we love that they open the doors between the main restaurant and the patio to feel like you are part of the same space. Most of the outdoor tables are covered by the roof and has Key West themed decor. Tropical and no non-sense vibes make it a great place to hang out. The patio is also home to Conch Corner serving crushes with freshly squeezed juices. We had a fun night at Yappy Hour with Hopey and Marshmallow who explore dog friendly places in NJ! Yappy Hour featured $7 fresh squeezed crushes and a $7 Salty Dog cocktail. Yappy Hour is every Saturday from 5-8pm. We were also treated to live music and free tastings of Long Drink, a gin canned cocktail. Seaside may be strict with the beach and boardwalk rules (no dogs allowed), but there are plenty of fun places to chill with your pup.

Our first night on our short weekend getaway and we didn't want anything fancy. Luckily we found…read moreMonte's Cafe and some absolutely fantastic food! Started with chips and salsa - made on-site and they also brought us three sauces, also made on-site - a jalapeño sauce, a red sauce and a tomatillo sauce. 100% recommend-all were delicious. We decided to split our meals and ordered a chicken burrito and the shrimp quesadillas. The burrito was very tasty, with what seemed like freshly made refried beans and delicious chicken. A little too much rice for me, I would have preferred less rice and maybe some grilled onions and peppers. The shrimp quesadillas were NOT what we expected. The shell seemed almost flash fried and in addition to the shrimp it had lettuce and melted manchego cheese. It was really, REALLY good. Service was great and we weren't rushed. There were four other tables filled while we were there and three of them were speaking Spanish which made me feel like we chose the right place. Seriously, I felt like the food here was made someone who'd been cooking like this for decades. A very cool little restaurant that I cannot recommend enough! Great food, great service, and a great location. (Sorry, forgot to take pics here)

The only miss of the night was the house-made chips: while tasty, they were surprisingly hefty and filled us up a bit too much before the main course, which cut into our appetites. For my entree, I had the pecan-encrusted Atlantic salmon. The coating was flavorful without overpowering the fish, and the salmon itself was tender and perfectly cooked. Others in our family ordered poke bowls and loved them. They had super fresh ingredients and generous portions. We skipped dessert at the restaurant since there are so many excellent ice cream options just a short walk away, but we left very satisfied. The staff was friendly, the service was prompt, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Even without a water view, Ohana Grill ended up being our top-rated restaurant of the week-long vacation, and we're already planning to come back on our next trip to Lavallette.

To make a long story short, the food was very good--creative, flavorful, and well worth the praise. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the excessive smoke and heat coming from the open kitchen. I'm not sure who designed the ventilation system, but it clearly isn't working properly. There was a visible haze of smoke throughout the dining room, our eyes were watering, and everyone at our table was uncomfortably warm. I felt especially bad for the kitchen and wait staff, who have to work in those conditions every day. By the time we got home, all of our clothes smelled like smoke and had to be washed. It's a shame because the food was so good, but the ventilation issues really detracted from what should have been a memorable meal. Come on, guys--please fix it!
