Dinner at Rosie's was phenomenal tonight. Drinks from the bar (Dominick) and service that Tracy provides is outstanding. Chris the Chef is a 5-star Chef in Ocean Gate NJ! Food is incredible. You will not be disappointed. Bob and MaryAnn read more

Get the halibut. I've had many fish dishes from all over the world and it was actually one of the best dishes I've ever had. 10/10 easily. The short rib pasta was also great, good filling portion size. Service and the ambiance was also great. Highly recommend coming here. read more

Unfortunately, really disappointed with our first experience here. We had a 7pm reservation and didn't get our food until around 8:20. When we brought up the wait to the owner, she didn't seem to think it was much of an issue and blamed the delay on an allergy at our table, even though the menu stated the item already accommodated that allergy. Nothing was adjusted for the long wait, and we ended up skipping dessert for a birthday we were celebrating because we had somewhere else to be. Our server, Maria M., was wonderful--very kind, attentive and proactive throughout the night. Unfortunately, this won't be an establishment we'll visit again, especially after making a 2-hour trip to meet family and having this be the restaurant chosen for the occasion. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Came here with no expectations but left with a new place to go as a regular! Food was absolutely amazing "big shout out to the chef" and to the wonderful hostess who made us feel like family. The place was extremely cozy and gave just the right vibes to make you feel at home. The drinks are exceptional and I will definitely not only recommend this place but will be back! read more

Gave Rosie's a try the other day and we were not disappointed. We ate in the bar/lounge area. Very nice, modern ambiance. The drinks were stiff and well made. Had a dirty martini with blue cheese olives - their standard is to not use vermouth which is right up my alley. The lobster roll was excellent - it's served warm on a toasted bun with drawn butter and crisp fries. Sean was our server and, despite being busy, he was attentive and made sure we were never thirsty - definitely A+ service. Will definitely return to Rosie's and I highly recommend it. Best spot in Ocean Gate! read more

Food is average but not happy with this service. Owner came over and we explained that we waited way too long for dinner. She told us that she didn't see it as a problem. Incredibly unacceptable. She also said that someone at the table needed gluten free which also held up the order. I explained to her that she advertises a gluten free menu!!! Waitress was stressed because all of her tables were complaining about their food being late. No stars...stay away. read more

Have eaten at this amazing restaurant with my wife several times. Their food is amazing and the service is fantastic! Can't say enough about this establishment. It's a must go to restaurant read more

Rosie's is the best! The food, drinks and service are top notch. I love that you can start or end in the bar area with TVs but dine in the dining room for a nice sit down dinner. Drinks and wine by the glass are very reasonably priced and they have a great selection. The dinner menu has something for everyone and they always have specials. Servers are knowledgeable, attentive and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. For example, even though we didn't order dessert, they brought out a little dessert with a sparkler for a birthday. There are a mix of dates, families and large groups so you can really come here for any occasion and I would definitely recommend that you do. read more

Service was great. Tuna was fatty my guest was too embarrassed to send it back. 75% not eatable My steak was ordered medium rare came very well done but was replaced rapidly. read more

I went with my dad for dinner a few weekends ago and had a really great experience. This is hands down his favorite place to eat in the area. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. We sat at the bar and had fun chatting with the bartenders and other guests while we ate. It was such a lovely dinner out! read more

Stopped by on a recent Monday night during Happy Hour for burgers. Service at bar was not very attentive to us. The ladies seem to be preoccupied with their friends at the other end of the bar. We ordered two burgers medium rare which were served medium (no pink) on pretzel rolls. First time Ive ever had a burger on a pretzel. Will be the last. My friend had a glass of white wine, I had water. Bill was $70 before tip. Only my second time here, but I recall my last visit was better value and much better service. Maybe we will try the dining room next time. read more

Went Saturday night with 10 people. Lovely lovely experience. Everyone loved their dinners. I recommend this restaurant highly. It is a cut above the other dining establishments in the area. read more

The food was great! I had the short rib with mash and subbed the asparagus for broccolini. It was a nice portion size. My fiancé had the halibut which was also a nice serving and was quite delicious. We had shared a few apps including the tuna on crispy rice (average) and the bang bang shrimp (great) we also got the scallops over rizzo for an app and they were pretty good! Mike, our server was very attentive and accurate. No dish was messed up at our table for 8. We had a nice window seat in the corner upstairs which was scenic and the Resturant itself was very lively. Only negative I would say is that we valeted the car and had to awkwardly walk thru the bar room which I believe there is another entrance but I'm not 100% sure. 5 min wait for the table which is not bad for a table of 8. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos. I would definitely go back though. read more

Everything at Rosie's was spectacular! Definitely recommend reservations on the weekend as it gets busy. Appetizer had coconut shrimp, such big tasty fresh shrimp! The special wasabi crusted Chilean sea bass was great, lightly fried and perfect amount of spice. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Noise level does get loud on a busy Saturday night. read more

Everything at Rosie's was fantastic! The atmosphere is modern beachy and we came here for a birthday celebration with 4 people. Service was quick and very friendly. Casual - fancy dress. Food was fantastic! The coconut shrimp was soooo good and tasted fresh. I had a great pork chop for dinner, seasoned and flavored perfectly. The waiter said it was sous vide style which made it tender and moist. One of the best restaurants I've tried in this area. read more

Service is horrible! Over 30 minute wait to get a menu after being seared. Then a l9nger wait to get your food order. I don't drink so the staff really doesn't want your business. read more

Loved the food and ambience servers were incredible. Servers were very pleasing Ambiance going early parking is tight in the summer.

I am impressed!! The food is delicious and the establishment is beautiful inside. I lived in the area my entire life but this was my first time dining at Rosie's. For appetizers, we tried the honey whipped ricotta, lobster mac & cheese, coconut shrimp and the French onion soup. All were incredible. The star of the show is the BREAD! It is so incredibly soft, warm and tasty. Everyone also raved about the entrees. We got two of the specials (short ribs and steak) and they were fantastic. Our server was attentive and kind. The food and drinks all came out pretty quick. Great experience! read more

Our party of 5 absolutely LOVED everything about this restaurant! We had bacon corn mascarpone ravioli and pork belly for appetizers, and they were really delicious! Our entrees were short ribs, pork chops and ribeye steak. For dessert we had creme brûlée, tiramisu, and chocolate chip cookie with salted caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream. We had a wonderfully attentive waitress and had excellent service. We are definitely going back again!!! read more

Never been to the OG Ocean Gate House back in the day which is now Rosie's but drove by with wife, saw people sitting upstairs outside and it was beautiful night so decided to stop in on a whim for some drinks and appetizers. We ordered wagyu carpaccio and a dozen oysters that were by far the best oysters I have ever had plus some old fashions. Wagyu was top notch and service was spot on. Liked it so much I came back (2) days later solo because i could not stop thinking about those oysters which happened to be Raspberry Point. Did not realize that they had happy hour specials every day including weekends so I rushed over there in time to place order at bar. (Nick / Nicky?) was the bartender and she was firm but polite, made great drinks and was pleasurable to talk to. Ordered another dozen oysters and chicken wings that I have never seen before and or knew existed but were incredible. I have to say my new favorite place to dine when I'm back in the area. Only downside that afternoon was the kook haggard lady that I happened to sit next to that was a total train wreck but that's not in any way this establishments fault. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is incredible and the service is outstanding.

We dined at Rosie's recently. I have never seen service like that outside of a country club. Our party of 4 each had a different entree. We all agreed the food was excellent. It was not only tasty but visually presented to entice. Really enjoyed our experience read more

Update: owner hassles and dismisses any bad reviews Accuses you of knowing a former employee rather than taking accountability. Cocktail sauce tastes like something from a jar. Menu is weak, drinks are weaker. Staff is unapologetic, prob because the owner is a jerk You won't find my name in your "system" because I was a guest of a friend that I was visiting. I suggest you get a new chef, maybe he doesn't care about his craft either. read more

I have been there three times. The latest was September 2025. The Edamame Dumplings are fantastic. We also had Halibut and a Tuna special which were perfectly prepared. My daughter is a Vegan and we find the chef is always very accommodating in addressing this dietary request. I look forward to our next visit. read more

Rosie's is always a great choice. The atmosphere is bubbling with action and the service spot on. The food is amazingly fresh and the specialty cocktails are made with care. My favorite drink is the Pear Martini. The whipped ricotta and fig appetizer is perfect for sharing and was a balance of savory and sweet notes. Our group chose 4 different seafood choices as our main course. For fish lovers the seared Tuna with Tabouli and the Mandarin Salmon with Soy glaze (GF), coconut rice and very crispy brussel sprouts entrees are a great choices. For shellfish fans, the Seafood Risotto(GF) and the Scallop special are prepared perfectly. We topped it off with their peanut butter Martini for dessert. Rosie's a hidden gem in our little town of Ocean Gate and worth the drive for a nice evening out. read more

From start to finish this place never disappoints. Best food, staff, and owners around.

My husband and I first had dinner at Rosie's when then opened a few years ago, on opening night. We made reservations. Obviously, Rosie's was super busy on opening night and were working out their quirks. However, one cannot judge a new established by their opening night. We have been hearing great things from Rosie's and went back recently on Saturday night of Memorial Day Weekend. We made reservations. We were expecting it to be super busy, but it was just normal there, so it felt relaxed. After this recent dinner experience, we are fans and wanted to provide a review now that Rosie's has been established here at the Jersey shore.  My husband enjoyed the Rosie's Pork Chop. The portion was big and tasty. I ordered Chicken Parmesan Special that night with pasta with a vodka cream sauce. It was great, but not the best I had.  We both ordered the Lobster Bisque Soup. This soup was creamy and fresh. It was excellent. I would order the soup again. I was extremely savory and creamy! An appetizer I would highly suggest ordering is the Tuna Nachos. I was expecting a smaller appetizer, but the portion was large. It was served on baked or friend wontons that were light and airy and there was plenty of fresh tuna. This is another item I would order again. Great to share. Same goes for the other appetizer we shared! The Prosciutto Wrapped Burrata was delicious. For dessert, I ordered the Tiramisu. It was good and a good portion. My husband had the Salted Caramel Cookie desert. It was large, puffed cookie with ice cream. Again, very good portion and tasty. We left there stuffed! Good portions for a high end restaurant. The only small suggestion we have is, please have the servers and waitresses to allow more time to finish soup, appetizers, and meals. They came back to our table just a tad too much and a few times, we had to say, we are still eating this. We felt slightly rushed during the meal. As for atmosphere. It its is airy and new. It is modern coastal vibe! Feels elegant. It is nice to walk off the meal on the Ocean Gate Boardwalk as well. We will be back. Solid savory meals here! Love it. read more

My brother took me to Rosie's in Ocean gate, NJ today and I loved it. Great service, the food delicious and atmosphere lovely. We had happy hour eats and shared a meal. The coconut shrimp tasty and the wings so good. The chicken wings you get a choice of flavors, we had Asian. The wings were made like lolliepop shape so easy to eat. The main meal was seared halibut with broccolini and mashed potatoes. I will go again to try other apps and entrees. Oh I almost forgot, the drink I got was the so good if you like spicey. Had jalapeno tequila in it. I can't remember the exact name, something called spicey refresher. Worth the money. Carol P of Manchester read more
