Sue was a great waitress and was so attentive and caring. I highly recommend trying this place out and trying whatever draws you in!!!

So we found this little gem! From the moment we walked in…read morewe felt so welcome. The owner Mike and server James greeted us with a warm smile and handshake. It is a BYOB but we had a chance to try Spanish wine, a great gift from Mike. My husband had the lobster crepe appetizer and I had the shrimp appetizer, both were very tasty. Hubby ordered the lamb chops for his dinner and I had the beet salad. Not an ordinary beet salad, it had Spanish bacon and duck, both dishes were delicious! We had to finish it off with the homemade flan..so happy we did! My husband wanted a little taste of ice cream and Mike brought out a tasting of 3 kinds of ice cream, strawberry, coffee and some saffron ice cream..I cannot express this enough..if they have the saffron ice cream available..GET IT!! You can thank me later! We'll definitely put this on our list for a good night out! Mike also told us, they have music on Saturday nights and he might be adding some extra special entertainment in the near future!! Thank you for a great dinner and for making us feel so welcome!

The menu was large and we had two options as part of a food tour I was on. I was able to try the scarpariello wings and boardwalk pizza. The wings were wood-fired with their special blend of seasoning and sauce along with cherry peppers. These were really tasty. The wings were a good size and the chicken fell right off the bone. The sauce had a slight kick to it with the cherry peppers present. The wood aspect of this dish was very noticeable too. The boardwalk pizza had house-made chorizo sausage, green pepper, onion, parmesan, Pomodoro, oregano, and red pepper flakes. This was alright. The crust was a little underdone for me, so it was a little flabby. The chorizo was the best part. I feel like jalapenos would have been a better choice of pepper here. The sauce was light and appetizing too. I also had a piece of bread that came out warm and paired nicely with the sauce from the wings. I was glad bread was provided to soak up that sauce! Will I go back? Probably.

SEA GIRT: Known for its gourmet dining, charming atmosphere, and truly memorable setting,…read moreScarborough Fair Restaurant has officially gone to the dogs in the best way with its brand-new Bark & Booze Happy Hour. Held every Friday from 3-6 PM, this tail-wagging idea comes courtesy of their fantastic bar manager, Matt. Set on the patio garden bar outside the picturesque historic farmhouse, the event features happy hour specials for both humans and their four-legged companions. Pet parents can indulge in fine American cuisine and drink specials, while pups get their own Bark Bites menu, offering a burger patty or chicken breast served with rice and carrots, available in half or full portions. There are even hydration bowls with fruit-infused water to keep the pups cool and refreshed. Leashed and friendly dogs are always welcome to dine outdoors overlooking the beautiful property. We spotted plenty of well-behaved pups, including Blue, Mikey, Velvet, and Zarra. All in all, it was a perfect night out at this beloved local spot.

Excellent first experience here for restaurant week. I am not sure why the reviews here are…read morelackluster. Everything I ate was delicious with a nice presentation and I am not impressed by mediocre. Waitress was super friendly and helpful too. However service was slightly on the slow side (waiting for drinks / courses), but all is forgiven because the ambience is stunning (old, ornate estate with whimsical garden) + there was a live lounge singer to entertain. APPS: free bread basket with a really nice whipped herb butter. Mahi ceviche had interesting flavors, not bad, but slightly on fishier side. The salmon cake was excellent - fresh lump and lightly seared. ENTREES: Highly recommend the teres major steak medallions - cooked to perfection (medium to medium rare) with a blue cheese & crab sauce that paired excellently. Tasty sautéed spinach and real mashed potatoes (not processed). My guest really enjoyed their monkfish dish (poor man's lobster) with julienned veggies, olives, and an interesting sweet yet tangy oil based sauce. DRINKS/DESSERT: Pear martini was fantastic for spring. Real puree used. Nice wine selection (and great happy hour deals). Desserts were NOT slept on like many places do. Excellent flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce - not very sweet at all and rich. Generous slice. Also the best brown sugar bread pudding I've had in this part of the country. So moist with ice cream and whip. They're always running weekly specials with discounts and entertainment. Fire pits in the summer. Ample parking. Would definitely recommend here for a nice evening out.

The flavors are so fresh, I would definitely recommend! I forgot to take a picture but we also got the ocopa arequipeña. It wasn't bad but it wasn't WOW, so I would probably skip next time. We all shared the jalea mixto which was also really great! There is a good variety of seafood and the green sauce is amazing. The Chicha was perfect, we always end up ordering another craft since it's so good! We ended with the Piacarones (5 come in an order). I wasn't the biggest fan but everyone else really enjoyed them so to each their own!

The time before the owner had a sick dog who pooped on the SEATS in the back and was allowed into the kitchen. Unsanitary.

Seamless, attentive, patient, and someone with true hospitality in her bones. Every detail was thoughtful, from the gorgeous floral centerpieces (still looking beautiful in my kitchen) to the signage, the name tags and napkins finished with a sprig of rosemary, and the perfect pink ribbon. Rachel and the waitstaff matched her standard. Warm, kind, and always one step ahead of what guests needed. The food brought a wave of nostalgia for our family and absolutely lived up to every memory. Every course was raved about-the lamb chops were perfect-and the kitchen handled a range of dietary needs without missing a beat. The cocktails were mixed to perfection and our guests including the children had the most lovely day! Lots of love and laughter. Thank you Gargiulos for helping make a beautiful memory.

Just visited here for our anniversary and what an amazing experience we had. Cozy, rustic and yet…read moresophisticated the atmosphere here was great. We were seated at a beautiful table right by a window with a view of the bridge outside that runs along the intersection of Water St. and Tinton Rd. There is also lovely outdoor seating if you prefer. We started with a couple of perfectly made cocktails along with a couple of delicious apps, Stuffed Long Hots, nicely grilled, stuffed with sausage, parmigiano and breadcrumbs and we also had Rice Balls, filled with rice, mozzarella and parmigiano, with a side of authentic Italian sauce, loved them both and up there with some of the best we've had. For our main courses my wife went with the Sole Francese, egg battered in a lemon white wine sauce and served with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. This was a large, beautiful piece of fish cooked perfectly and the Francese sauce was on point. For my main I went with the Grilled Pork Chop, with roasted peaches, shallots and balsamic vinegar served with a side of broccoli rabe. This pork chop was amazing, again cooked perfectly, flavorful and juicy, absolutely loved it. To wrap up and of course because it was our anniversary we wrapped up with a dessert extravaganza. Homemade Tiramisu along with a couple of Afogatos that were paired with a couple of cordials. This was a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Like I said, this was an amazing experience from the servers to the owner, Giacomino (Nino) who was nice enough to come out and introduce himself and spend a little time with us. We will definitely be back.
