It was early Sunday night and the bar was full but the dining area wasn't so we stayed in the bar. Service was excellent, the bartender came around and made sure we were comfortable, handed us menus and brought water. She told us the specials and shortly after our server came by. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of seafood on the menu. My picky girlfriend would have enjoyed some flounder or scallops but they only had a seared salmon and blacked shrimp. The Mrs. Got a burger and it was adequate, nothing to write home about. I got the chicken parm and it was ample and terrific. The tomato sauce was stellar! Sadly I wanted the scallops with risotto. This place has potential, the service is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, plus I know the chef has the chops from visiting his last place, the red store in Navasink. We'll be back but I'll be sure to check for seafood offerings before I go.

3.5 stars I had seen…read morepictures of On the Deck courtesy of a few friends that had been to the restaurant and bar on the harbor. It always looked like such a cool place, and I had been really interested in checking it out. I finally made it there the other day, after a brief afternoon at a local beach. When we arrived around 6:30 pm on that Friday evening, we could see that the back deck was very full and that the parking lot was also close to capacity. We were able to, thankfully, grab a spot and walked over to the restaurant, climbing the stairs to the second floor where we met the hostess. We were told that the wait for outdoor seating was 40-minutes, while indoors was 30-minutes. Glancing around, the inside dining room was casual and nautically-themed. The tables and bar were bustling. The balcony was just as busy, but offered live music, so we determined that it would be worth waiting the additional time and added our name to the list. In the meantime, we decided to hang by the outdoor bar but were unable find a spot. Thankfully, a duo was vacating one of the few high-top tables in the bar section, which were first-come, first-serve. We grabbed that table and settled in to watch the beautiful sunset over the boats docked in the harbor. The staff and the few patrons we encountered during our visit were all very friendly, which only emphasized the laidback vibe of the waterside venue. The food, however, was mediocre at best. When our dinner was delivered, we did not receive any silverware, so we had to grab that from the bar, which was also from where we had placed our order. I had requested the Pan-Seared Salmon, which was well-cooked and served with thin stalks of asparagus, dry jasmine rice, and a huge amount of buttery garlic herb sauce. It made sense that the fish was served in a bowl, because there was so much greasy butter that it would have leaked all over if it was on a flat plate. Thankfully, the bartender had given me a few side plates, so I was able to move my food out of the oily bowl. My friend also had some issues with her meal. Her cup of New England Clam Chowder was flavorful, but watery and mostly broth. Her Fried Flounder Sandwich was heavily breaded and served with an unripe tomato and mushy, oily fries. From a beverage perspective, they had surprisingly interesting cocktails, but I was thrilled to see my favorite beer, Kane Head High, on tap. We simply loved the view, live acoustic tunes from P.D. Brody, and the overall relaxing atmosphere. However, we felt that the food could have been better executed. The menu offered all kinds of seafood and higher-end bar food, but the preparation left something to be desired.

After reading the reviews, we wanted to give this place a try for dinner…read more The place is small and very minimally decorated, with the restaurant being comprised of plain white walls and 3 gray tables that seat up to 4 people. There is also a 2-seat table near the back as well. A mounted TV sits above the middle table and right below it is a small wooden panel that has the shape of a mermaid carved into it. The ordering counter is off to the side and has an adjoining display case that holds soda cans, condiments, bottled water, and a couple of bags of lettuce. We ordered the following: Crab cake platter. These were 2 jumbo lump crab cakes and the order came with fries. Daughter ate almost all of the fries. I had to fight her for it. LOL. This order was delicious and freshly made. Tuna tataki, which is seared rare tuna with pepper crust, ginger and soy sauce. Daughter liked this a lot. This was a nice presentation which made us wonder if the chef worked at a 5 star dining restaurant instead of a shack. Surprise, surprise! A lot better than we expected. Pint of New England clam chowder, which has clams, bacon and potatoes. Daughter loved it and thought it was delicious. Hubs said that he usually prefers the Manhattan clam chowder but he loved this a lot. He loved that he was able to munch on clams at every spoonful and that it wasn't too thick for him. Manhattan clam chowder wasn't available when we were there. Hopefully, they'll have it the next time we return. Sirens House Salad, which has spring mix, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, carrots, parmesan and croutons. The dressing was homemade balsamic vinaigrette. We thought this was pretty good and I was obsessed with the croutons. They tasted fresh and crunchy. I liked everything about this place. Everything tasted freshly made. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu!

So, I got Jerk rice with beans. I got cabbage and sweet plantains, and let me tell you something 100 % delicious and with the curry sauce on the side, not too spicy. It was fire!! I can't say anything bad about this restaurant and I can't wait to try the curry goat......Even though I'm afraid to eat curry goat lol, The owner said, don't be afraid I make it really good. So I will be coming back... you better believe that. I hope you remember me. I'm the blonde girl that said she was afraid of food? Well, I'm not afraid of food anymore after eating your food LOL.

Good thing we came early because by the time we left around 7:00 PM it was absolutely packed. My husband and I got bacon and pepperoni on our bar pie. They don't skimp on the toppings and the cheese pull is pretty good. The crust is nice and thin and reminds me of Frederici's in Freehold. The pizza was a bit oily but nothing a blotting napkin can't fix. One thing we were really surprised by was the Spinach and Artichoke dip. Not only does it come with tortilla chips but also a fresh crusty bread roll for dipping. The dip was so creamy and delicious, almost like a soup. We loved it!
