We visited this restaurant again- we had to wait a little for our table, but we had a nice meal once we were seated. Bread and butter upon waiting- drinks- apps- entrees and dessert. All the staff was so accommodating - especially with our allergies- with a lot of TLC- when bringing the food out to make sure it was not near what we were allergic to, making us feel super comfortable with our dining. We were checked on many times by staff and asked if we needed anything. All the different foods we ordered this time were wonderful again - and our waitress was very attentive. We will definitely be back again. Bravo- well done - we all had a wonderful time and meal. Thank you!!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The service and ambiance were outstanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, seeming delighted to answer our questions about each entree. The problem was the food. My French onion soup was so salty that I couldn't drink the broth, just ate the melted cheese on top. That wasn't particularly good either, but it was better than the broth. The cheese atop French onion soup should be a generous portion and deliciously creamy. Instead it was just a thin coating that was overcooked until it was way too hard. Sadly, the duck cassoulet was also disappointing. The half-breast of duck was overcooked and salty. The best part were the beans and tomato that made up the stew. On the bright side, my dining companion praised his steak and fries, calling the steak with accompanying herbed butter among the best he's ever had. We didn't order alcoholic drinks, but the bar seemed busy and we've heard good things about the bar staff and the quality of drinks available. Overall, it was a mixed experience. read more

This is an amazing restaurant, and an experience you will not soon forget! We had brunch here a few years back just by chance walking by and being a little hungry, and we were so impressed we've come back every time we come to Asbury park on vacation. This is a truly ideal date spot, but also cool for an amazingly impressive high-end bar experience with friends. The booths are crazy comfortable and the dark color decor creates a super cool ambience. The service is very attentive and knowledgeable, and they always have great suggestions for parings. The food is the main star though, and I highly suggest the scallops, the fettuccine, the oysters, and the cheese plate is something to die for, but it's hard to go wrong with anything at this place, as everything I've tasted here has made me melt into my chair... read more

Oh my oh myyyyy this place is so delicious. Granted, I am French so I love everything fois gras and such. Our waitress was so sweet, their iced coffee was TO DIEEE FOR (la colombe beans). The waffles were so delicious and authentic French type (not too sweet), and the bennies were super good with the croissant instead of the English muffin. The vibe is very upscale and pretty dark inside, I'd say perfect for a fancier date although the menu is extremely affordable for the quality in my opinion. Come here ASAP! read more

Overall disappointing experience--and yes, you should take people's warnings about the salt seriously. It's a nice space and there were some positive points in the meal, but this place feels like it's trying hard to provide a sophisticated experience, but the food and service were both plagued with the sorts of mistakes good restaurants shouldn't make. The good news: The brandade fritters were tasty, the fluke crudo was delicious, and the crème brulée was solid. The biggest problem with the food was my scallop entree with potatoes ecrasé and corn. The scallops were perfectly well cooked, but the dish was so overloaded with salt that I could barely make it halfway through the dish before it irritated my tongue. I like my food saltier than most, but this wasn't a matter of taste. This is simply too much salt for a dish to have. Speaking of discomfort from the food, my companion's mussels were fine, but the fries were brought to the table at what must have been 375 degrees. Serving fresh fries shouldn't mean serving fries so fresh from the fryer that they're unsafe to eat until they've been on the table for several minutes. We also ordered asparagus, but it never appeared, which speaks to the service. I ordered a martini with olives before we ordered our food. When our appetizers arrived before my cocktail, I asked the server. He "went to check" on it, then came back a few minutes later asking whether I meant dirty or just olives. He clearly never put in my drink order, just as he clearly never put in our vegetable order, and he was repeatedly nowhere to be seen for minutes at a time when we were ready to order something. Maybe we caught the place on a bad night, but when I'm in Asbury Park next, I doubt I'll be checking again to find out. read more

What a mixed bag. The major problem with Sabine and Pascal can be summed up with one word: SALTY. First the service and cocktails outstanding. I would have no problem going there for cocktails. Except there are nicer places to go for cocktails in Asbury Park. My wife and I had the french onion soup. It was salty. When I say salty, I mean like drinking sea water or brine salty. I did eat the melted cheese and toast, but when drink the soup itself, it was so salty, I put it aside. My wife had the black bass, which she said was great. I had fish and chips. The fish was ok, but the fries were so salty, I could only eat a few. My kids had the beef bouginese (sp?) they loved it. My wife had a affogato and my daughter and I shared the hot chocolate ice cream (kind of like an affogato, but with hot chocolate, rather than espresso). We all noted the ice cream was incredibly icy. My other pet peeve is that they charge $15/person for a reservation. Plus they don't refund if you need to cancel. Not reflected in rating. read more

It was our first time here. It was a pleasant experience and the waitress was very informative and attentive. We started off with a bunch of small plates. We got some caviar to start, it was displayed perfectly & went great -paired with mini pancakes, and the chips it came with were also very tasty. The caviar we chose was not as fi as I'd like but still good. We then got the beef tartare and it was soooo good and fresh. We also got this mushroom dish that came over a type of flakey pastry. It was delicious! Never had anything like it. We also got the truffle pasta. It was very good, tasted more like a fettuccine though. For our main dishes we got the steak with a side of fries. Cooked for good. And we also got the scallops dish, cooked great and also very good. For dessert we shared the caramel mousse dessert which for me was a bit much caramel, and I usually love caramel. The other dessert was some sort of pound cake. It was good as well, not my favorite. All in all we had a good experience and would come back to try more! read more

Love dinners at Pascal & Sabine. Not a fan of the brunch, but dinners here are very good. Ambiance, service, and food - love it all. I've asked for recommendations a few times and the servers always provide something great. I discovered a new favorite gin thanks to one of their suggestions. My favorite dishes are the Trout Almondine and the cheese plate. They always have the most excellent cheeses. Also - the butter that comes with the bread is a must. Wish I could say something about dessert, but I've never made it to that round since I'm always so stuffed with the delicious apps & entrees! Food tips: Trout Almondine, cheese plate read more

I went to Pascal & Sabine for my birthday with some family and it was amazing. I highly recommend the beef tartar and anything really. The truffle fries, chefs kiss. Dips for the fries, delectable.

Get the Coq au von. That was way better than their fluke. Much softer and fresh than their fluke. Everything was salty. It came was super salty mashed potatoes. Fluke was just sad and subpar: it smelled off even before I took a bite. It was just overcooked and dry. I couldn't eat it. Pistachio mousse: good. A bit too sweet though. I don't like cranberry. Definitely not cranberry jam. read more

We were so very looking forward to this because my parents are somewhat regulars, but sadly it was so disappointing. The mussels and french onion soup were very good but one of our steaks came out wrong not once, but twice! The first time came out the wrong preparation and undercooked from what one of our party ordered (medium), and the second time came out the correct preparation but still extremely rare. The manager on staff then had the gall to gaslight us and tried to explain, "Well the cook suggests that this is how it should be cooked." That's fine, but then why bother asking us how we want our steak cooked if you're going to always cook it rare/medium rare? We didn't bother sending back a third time because by then the rest of the party was almost done eating. To end a mediocre meal, the waitress/manager then completely forgot to deduct the $15 deposit for our party of 6, and we almost paid an EXTRA $90. I had to walk up and talk to the manager again, and instead of apologizing for an incorrect check she tried to play that it was fine because my card hadn't been run yet. I understand mistakes happen, and I appreciate they did give us one drink on the house for the twice wrong steak, but the overall feeling was like they were treating us like we were idiots. It felt like they were trying to cover their own selves without admitting any mistake were actually made. How condescending and terrible customer service. read more

So I finally made it to Pascal & Sabine! I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of French cuisine so that might maybe why I wasn't running to check out this place on my list of Asbury Park spots first . Anyway well me and my Asbury Park gal pal went for dinner last night. It was a Wednesday night. And it was a GREAT experience!!! Honestly I love to check out spots on dates other than weekends because I feel that I get top notch service, food and experience. Parking is street - in which you pay the meter or Asbury Park parking app OR there is a parking deck steps away. Inside this place is sexy cool. Love the dark sexy but classy look. Staff/ service was excellent. We had Asia and she was sweet, friendly ,knowledgeable and attentive- EXACTLY how I like my service. Even the busboy/man was super friendly/attentive. Drinks.... cocktails were lovely. I first had a drink called " Dream catcher" and then the " French Blonde" and enjoyed them both! My friend had simple margaritas and enjoyed them. Sliced baguettes slices and butter were complimentary Now- one thing that I love to do is dine with my Asbury Crew because we LOVE to eat/drink WELL so it's fun for us to order several dishes and share. Now it was just the two of us this time but we still ordered plenty to have a good taste of the menu... We decided we wanted to try the soups: she had the French Onion and I tried the Spring Garlic soup. If you love French Onion Soup then you need to try it here. It's aesthetically appealing and tastes amazing as for the SPRING GARLIC SOUP-- this right here is the epitome of FOODPORN! No joke. Don't let the green soup fool you- IT IS HEAVEN touching your taste buds!!!! I was nearly licking the bowl as the busboy was trying to take it away. Lol. Next was small plates- we got the mushroom tart and the cacio e pepe agnolotti. The mushroom tart was ehhh for us. But I enjoyed the cacio e agnolotti. Entrees.... we got the Moules Frites and the Pan Seared Scallops . The Moules Frites was mussels in a delicious broth that had garlic and I believe wine ( great to dip your baguette in) also comes with French fries. So yummy! 1st time I had this dish was in Belgium and I have been a fan since. The Pan Seared Scallops were OMG yummy. In the words of my gal pal " when you dream of Scallops- this is what you dream of" . Literally I had the same sentiments . Scallops couldn't have been more PERFECT. The risotto with it was eh but we had so much food Now as you can imagine- we were pretty full and were like 99% not going to have any dessert until our amazing server Asia convinced us otherwise. She mentioned that the MILK CHOCOLATE POT DE CREME was fantastic and that I would love it. With so much conviction- I gave in and was BLOWN AWAY!! If you like chocolate , salt and caramel - then you HAVE to try this. I literally had a FOODGASM in my mouth. Yanno the qtip eyes rolling back in the head face . YES that was me and I had no shame. NONE We spent like $100 each but honestly the meal and experience was WORTH it. Not every place gets 5 stars from me Yanno. May this review help you and may you have an amazing meal like I did last night Bon Appétit Mon Chéri! Xoxo read more

This place is awesome. Probably the best meal I've ever had on the Jersey shore. Came with some friends and we sat at the bar. Really cool bar area, and fantastic cocktails. I love the booths they have in the bar area as well. For food, I started with the French onion soup which was perfect. I didn't want to order it since it was a hot summer day, but I was glad I did. I did the steak frites with the strip steak for my entree. It was absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly , with an awesome crust and came with probably the best au poivre sauce I've ever tried. It was clearly a very high quality cut of steak and I'm glad I ordered it. I am impartial to thinner fries, while theirs are quite large- but I liked them nonetheless. They give this sort of horseradish-like Mayo with their fries which was stellar. Loved it, and can't wait to come back. read more

Pascal & Sabine - French Onion Soup - French Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

We had an awful experience. Came here the day after Valentine's Day to celebrate. Once we arrived our table was not ready. We waited over 30 mins for our table. Once we sat down our waitress Asia doesn't come over for another 15-20 mins. Then asks us if we're ready to order. Doesn't introduce herself or apologize for the inconvenience. We had to ask for wine suggestions and she was helpful with that but the whole experience was strange from then on. People around us also felt the same. I ordered the steak frites and it was just okay and my boyfriend ordered the sole and he also said it just okay. The food again was okay but the service was very mediocre. When spending well over $300 for a meal we were expected a bit more urgency and it being personable. Didn't see any manager at all to check in with. Was really looking forward to trying this place but I would not suggest. read more

This was the nicest and tastiest surprise dining experience! We drove to AP on a beautiful day with no dinner plans. The halibut fish and chips drew us in. From start to finish, from food to service, to meeting the young chef, we had the best meal we've had in Jersey in a long time! Let's start with the cheese - they undersell it. You pick 1,2,or 3 cheeses and they bring beautiful fruit spread, nuts, honey, fruit, and bread. Vavavoom! We shared the house pasta as a mid course. Wow! It's angel hair with melted leek butter, confit baby clams and garlic bread crumbs. This was delicious! Really delicious! We had to tell the chef how much we enjoyed it and he ran us through how to make it at home! He's a young talented dreamboat! The fish and chips did not disappoint and they were elevated by the choice of fresh halibut. Homemade tartar sauce was spot on! The mussels were incredibly tender and so yummy! They were served with a big ass baguette to soak up the most delicious sauce I have ever had with mussels. Loved it! The pudding was a nice finish and more than enough for 2 people! We're looking forward to driving down again. This young chef knows how to cook and his creativity is simple-elegance. Flavor flavor all the way. read more

I came to Pascal and Sabine on a Sunday around 4pm and ate in the lounge. The restaurant is very pretty with dim lighting, great music, two bars (lounge and main area) and really warm service from the hostess to the waiter/bar tender for the lounge. Even the bathroom is pretty. The main area has huge booths and tables where the lounge has small seating and space at the bar. Through five you could get a table but it did begin to pick up. For food I order a great glass of Pinot Gris from Alsace, the Gem salad (super crisp and light and delicious) and then the Pork Chop. The pork chop, is the best pork chop I've ever had and in line with all the reviews. It's super flavorful and on the bone and melt in your mouth tender. I was floored. To finish is off I had some Manchego cheese for dessert. Fantastic meal and great ambience. I can't wait to go back! read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying the buttery goodness of this place . My sister in laws brought me and my other SIL for our birthday celebrations. We enjoyed a nice quiet , Covid friendly brunch. Staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and everything is spread out so it's definitely kept Covid friendly. We started off with some brunch cocktails, burgers, foie gras on a croissant (omg amazing) . Now I know snails aren't everyone's thing but they were delicious in a garlic butter sauce . Use the bread they give to soak up all that butter. The burgers were juicy, and full of flavor and those fries are huge . I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try french/American cuisine. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and was so glad that we did. Every meal we had in AP paled in comparison to what we had at Pascal and Sabine. First, our waiter was phenomenal. He was on top of everything we asked for and was extremely knowledgeable about everything down to the cheeses on the charcuterie. We shared a salad and they even gave us a little tong! Love the small details. We ended up having a mostly seafood night which was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. I really don't think there was a single item here that we had any complaints about. Favorites were probably the mussels, the fries, shrimp (not pictured) and crème brûlée (not pictured). Our eyes were so much bigger than our stomachs but because it was so delicious we actually devoured everything! Would come back in a heartbeat. read more

COVID-19 review, so if you're reading this and life is back to normal, it may not apply. This place is set up in the best way to serve customers during this pandemic. Plenty of space between tables, everyone wearing masks and gloves and they have dividers between tables. This section was created in part of the street and they set up cement road block dividers to keep diners safe. The temperature on this day was close to 90, however when dining here, the building blocks the direct sunlight! It was so cool and had a breeze. I was beyond impressed with this atmosphere. Servers are top notch, understanding and following protocol. Oh and the food is still insanely delicious. read more

Pascal & Sabine - COVID-19 Outdoor dining space - French Near Me - Asbury Park, New Jersey

[This review was made in 10/2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic] If you're looking for a nice outdoors aesthetic brunch spot, Pascal & Sabine is the place for you. The outdoor seating is super cute and modern but I can't speak for the indoor seating. To cap a fun weekend, our bachelorette party headed here for brunch! The table ordered a lot of food that we split amongst each other: french toast, Belgian waffle, oysters, croque madame, and the eggs Benedict on a croissant. All-in-all it was a tasty and satiating meal : ) The croque madame was the best thing I ate on the menu -- and some items that I could have done without were the Belgian waffle and the croissant part of the eggs Benedict (stick with the English muffin!). The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing our items off the menu too! I do wish, however, that they offered hand sanitizer at the tables though. read more

Live in the area but never tried P&S. So glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From start to finish, service, food, and ambiance stellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the moment we were greeted, we felt welcomed and cared for. Started with the Botanical Gibson. Delicious-subtly herbaceous. We shared the baby lettuce salad-refreshing and delicious. We tried the mushroom tart and it was quite flavorful. We both got the fluke crudo. Some reviewers have said the chiles overwhelmed it but I did not find it to be the case. It was the right balance of citrus and spice. I got the bay scallops with the radishes and citrus. It was light and satisfying, the right balance of citrus, sweet, and savory. Hubby got the fish and chips. Said the batter was crispy yet light, I got the pot de creme. Heavenly. Owen was our server and extremely personable and knowledgeable about wines. Even converted these Pacific NW Pinot Noir only drinkers into French Pinot Noir lovers. Alexis, the manager, is hands on and has created a team that is energetic and cohesive. We will be back. read more
