    Tiny martini
    Gary T.

    First the positives! The pizza was great and the restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The hostess and bartenders were friendly and prompt. Now for the negatives! Upon walking in, we were greeted with the unpleasant smell of poop. The entire restaurant smelled like sewage the entire time we were there for some reason. The surf and turf skewer had literally one tiny piece of steak, and one shrimp. Pathetic. My martini was 1/3 full when it came - looked maybe half full once they dropped the olives in. I don't think I'll be back.

    OMG! We were looking for a place that had a happy hour until 7:00 on a Wednesday. (It was already 6) I looked online, "Happy Hours until 7 near me" and this was the first hit. It looked cool so we went. The decor is amazing, and Melanie and Michael, were so nice and accommodating. It just so happens, it was the very first day for the happy hour and the happy hour menu. And I can recommend everything on it, both drinks AND food! We ordered the Filet sliders, the Kobe beef meatball sliders, Burrata Caprese, tuna tartare, and a taco. All ridiculous! I had the sangria and a margarita, both excellent. Highly recommend, 10/10 no notes.

    My Review of Park Social, Neptune There's a lot of hype about this restaurant that opened in December, so I decided to see what it was all about. I was thrilled to find valet parking because it was a rainy Friday night. When I walked in, I was shocked to see the transformation of the space from the last time I was there. Very chic without being pretentious, and I found it very cozy. Most people were dressed nicely. We live in a very casual area, so it's nice to get dressed every once in a while. We were greeted at the door and walked up to the podium, where the hostess was. The hostess was very pleasant and gave us the option of sitting at the bar or sitting at a high top in the bar. We decided to sit at the bar. One of my pet peeves is an unfriendly bartender; I mean, don't you think a bartender should have some kind of personality? I was pleasantly surprised that our bartender, Mike, was super nice, very informative, knew the menu, knew the drinks, and made a lot of recommendations. We decided to share plates so we could sample a few things. Shortly after we were seated, we were greeted by the manager, Johnny, who introduced himself. I noticed he went around to all the tables and worked the room while we were there. Exactly what a manager should do. They had a DJ in the corner of the bar. We were seated super close, and the manager asked if we wanted to move when he started, and we decided to take our chances. The volume wasn't super loud, so it was fun. I have to say I really enjoyed the music/mix-up selections. I actually took his card. There isn't any room for dancing, so it's just part of the vibe. I would suggest that, at the end of the night, they have the DJ in one of the rooms, clear some of the tables, and make an area for dancing. We ordered wine & had a Death becomes her cocktail that was excellent , cacio e pepe (a ten)tempura lobster and shrimp (if I ordered again, I would ask them for the sauce on the side). The grilled Caesar came with two chicken croquettes and shaved Parmesan--excellent! The Kobe meatball topped with ricotta cheese was good, but I wouldn't order it again. There was one meatball for $18, and I know why--because it was Kobe beef--but you couldnt really tell that it was Kobe beef. It tasted like a really good meatball, but for $18, I will pass next time. I spoke to someone who had the pizza, and they said the angry pizza and the fig pizza were amazing. For dessert, we ordered the donuts and tiramisu. The donuts were served in a bowl with no dipping sauces. I would rather have fewer donuts and have dipping sauces. But when I mentioned to the bartender that it would be great if they had dipping sauces, he came out with a little dish of caramel and chocolate. The tiramisu was delicious. It's so nice having a restaurant of this caliber so close to home. We usually drive to Asbury or Red Bank for upscale dining. All in all, I give the atmosphere and vibe a 10, the food an 8, and the staff a 10. This is not a budget-friendly restaurant, but we have plenty in this area, so I don't see it as an issue. What I loved: I love the vibe of the restaurant, the drinks, and I really loved that they had great mocktails. The drinks, atmosphere, food , and the staff were excellent. The restaurant business is really hard. I hope they make it. I think with some creative ideas on slow days, they can. We will definitely be returning and trying the steak. That's all folks!

    This is our second time there for dinner and the place delivered both times. We had the bacon as an appetizer, a filet mignon, a salad that I can't recall the name of but had artichokes in it and was very tasty. We also had the mashed potatoes - delicious. First time we sat at a table and the second time we ate at the bar. This place has a very solid staff. The bartenders are old school professional and the wait staff is very attentive and friendly. The maitre d - a guy named John is also very engaging and attentive to the operations of the business. If you want to go back in time when service, quality and atmosphere meant something - this is your place. No gimmicks, no nonsense, no illusions - it's an authentic joint. Good to know someone is doing it right.

    "Farmer's Field"

    If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I tried this place when it first opened and enjoyed it so much we decided to go back for my friend's 40th. We had a group of 10 , our bill was close to 2k. The food is mediocre, at best. Do yourself a favor, never order the "Farmer's Field" -unless you want to pay $30 for breadcrumbs and slimy mushrooms - picture attached for reference. The next day our server text one of the girls in our party saying that the manager wanted her to contact us so we can "return the picture we stole off the wall." Needless to say- we were shocked. We asked the server why they thought this and they said they have video footage of us taking a picture off the wall. We asked for the footage- but never received it. Shortly thereafter an Instagram reel we had created was shared to their Instagram account and captioned accusing us of stealing the picture! We immediately contacted them asking to take the post down to which they refused. The owners continue say that they have video footage of us but their story has changed numerous times . First they said they had us on video taking the picture then it was that we were hiding the picture under our coats and had the picture in a to-go bag, but have refused to provide any proof. Word of caution- stay far away!

    Great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was fancy and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal and great vibes!

    Salmon, crispy Brussels sprouts, truffle parm mashed potatoes. (Everything pictured gf)

    The restaurant is beautiful! Food and service were amazing! As someone with a gluten allergy they made me feel very comfortable about avoiding cross contamination and everything is labeled on the menu.

    To start with the ambiance, it was elegant yet modern. We had the Steak Tartar and it was definitely one of the best appetizers I have ever had. Our waiter G, he went above and beyond for us. He recommended us food, drinks and even had a great conversation with us. Definitely recommend this spot! 10/10

One of the biggest draws at 9th Ave Pier is the harbor backdrop. The restaurant can get crowded and noisy during peak hours, particularly depending on where you're seated, but we lucked out with a table that offered great views without feeling overwhelmed by the crowd. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. Don't come expecting fine dining presentation. This is a casual waterfront spot where meals arrive in baskets and drinks come in plastic cups. We got the Volcano Shrimp appetizer which large enough for sharing and tasted good. For entrees, the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl was good and decent portion size. The Flounder Sandwich was the best due to the portion size: basically two large fillets per sandwich; although I wish it had other sauce options, besides the tartar sauce. We added an order of fries, which were tasty though they could have benefited from a bit more crispness. It took a little bit to get drinks/refills but the waitress was hustling so I just think the bar was backed up. Overall decent casual food.

We grabbed seats at the larger of the two bars to enjoy some drinks, the summer breeze, and the excellent live music. While they had a bunch of interesting cocktails, I stuck with a basic tequila and club soda. We did not order any food, but I would also not say that it looked very appetizing. After sitting for a bit, we felt like it was time to move on to a new venue, when we learned that the same company also managed a mini-golf course at the other end of the marina. It only cost $7 per adult to play, so it seemed like a no-brainer. The course was relatively easy, so we went through it very quickly, but it was a fun way to spend the afternoon. Between the two areas, we were truly able to enjoy the beautiful weather at a relaxing pace.

    After reading the 100% positive reviews for this restaurant, we decided to try something new. I was…read moreexcited to experience the amazing food and service that people were raving about. But I think we caught them on an extremely off night. We had a reservation and came in on time. We were told to sit down and that another waiter would come by to show us to our table. We waited for ten minutes before we were seated, and in that time another bigger party came in and were seated before us. Even when we were seated, the new waiter said he thought we were just waiting for appetizers, and didn't realize we even needed a table. Had we not said anything, we would have been waiting even longer to be seated even with the reservation. We quickly placed our drink and food orders, and this is when service continued to decline. It was clear that there were only two waiters for the smaller dinning room, and yet they were doing a little bit of everything. Our first waitress was also folding silverware, moving clean dishes back to the kitchen, and checking in on the entire dining room. Our second waiter was also the bartender, food runner, and table buser. Needless to say, they needed more hands on deck. I know they were doing their best, but an hour to get our food is really ridiculous. And in that time we were not checked on for water refills or just to ask if we needed anything. Even when our food came out, we had to stop one of the two waiters and ask about the food. Only then, after a few more minutes did they get the food from the kitchen. While not shown in the picture, we got the brussel sprouts and carrot appetizer. This was the only food item we were kind of disappointed with as we couldn't really taste any sriracha, and felt we could have made something similar at home. Other than that, when our three main dishes finally did come out, they were served hot and everything was cooked very well. We all really enjoyed the food we ordered. Really good, but also not out-of-this-world like the price and reviews suggested. In the end, the service was just extremely slow and the price of the food was very high (about $30 per person for three people plus two drinks about $15 each), making it very hard to justify the overall experience. And even though the food was really good, I would not say it was worth going through the extremely long wait.

    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 sushi is fresh and tasty, we enjoyed the seared scallop appetizer. My sushi (Tiger roll) was magnificent. The Yuzu lobster roll could have had a bit less rice in the roll but was otherwise very enjoyable. The combination of fish in this roll paired very nicely together. Taka has a vast menu with many options from appetizers to specialty sushi options. They provide alcoholic and non alcoholic mocktails for those of us not interested in consuming liquor.....the mocktails are fantastic. The only thing that made me rate 4 instead of 5 stars was the staff needs a bit of work on serving. We ordered an appetizer and were also given two additional small plates since we were sharing this item. When we were done with the appetizer our specialty sushi plates were bought out and the same server left the three empty plates from the appetizers on the table instead of removing them. Dessert was absolutely decadent and moist (I omitted the whipped cream since I don't like it) but the shortcake was perfect without it. I look forward to returning to Taka and trying more items on the menu.

I don't want to have a drink (or pay $15+ for a drink) that tastes like a fruity cup of juice. As far as the limited food suggestions on the menu- only 2 or 3- this is the third time we've been there and they said they were out of food -so then take it off your menu if you can't be consistent!!! We're not just going to keep drinking without anything to eat to go along with it. As far as the service it's inconsistent, when we sat down there was only two of us- The server was very nice but we waited too long for our drinks. A party of 7 came in about 1/2 hour after us and they had their drinks within 5 minutes- that should never be. After one drink we got the check and we left, we are completely scratching it off our list, we will not return there. It does bum me out because it has such potential and there's nothing like it around but I'm not going to visit an establishment where I walk away feeling it was a waste of money.
