I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted with a smiling bartender (should out to Ms Ryan). Can't say everyone else was as friendly but that's not saying that they were NOT or that they were unpleasant in any way. The place was BUSY! Packed and busy (it was a Friday night) so maybe everyone else was just focused and trying not to bump into others. The menu boasts some really interesting options, it was hard to pick. I didn't want a big entre so I opted for what I thought would be two small starters... boy, was I WRONNNG. I ordered the octopus tentacle- it came served on a butternut squash (?) or root vegetable ragout which was sooooo yummy!! Probably my favorite part of the dish! The tentacle was overdone and therefore hella rubbery. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts which were fried but toted a promising recipe of mixing sweet and savory flavor with its pancetta jam. The décor was... idk how to describe it, maybe eclectic. But it was nice. Spacious indoors. There were families as well as friend groups enjoying themselves so literally there's something on the menu for everyone to enjoy.

We originally came just to get a drink and dinner. Once we saw the appetizer options, we knew we…read morehad to try the octopus. I'm so happy we ordered it! 10/10. The octopus is a must order. Chef Mike really knows how to elevate all of the things on his menu. This wasn't like the grilled octopus we'd normally get at other restaurants. They really stepped it up. We ordered a round of drinks to go with our appetizer. The server was very knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect drinks to pair with the octopus. We ordered the Angry Lobster & Shrimp pasta, as well as the Chilean Seasbass. I was genuinely surprised by how much lobster and shrimp were in the pasta! Large chunks of both!! The seabass was so creative. Perfectly cooked with additions that really took the dish to the next level. We weren't planning on getting dessert but the busboys sold us on it! The tempura PB & J was sooo different. I had to order it just because it was so unique. I don't know how Chef Mike came up with this idea but I'm so happy I did! I will be going back to get this as I'm still craving it. We also got the special dessert of the night which was a banana with a creme brûlée style toasted on top, gelato, and smashed graham crackers. It all worked so well together. Again, another work of art. And the staff! I can't say enough about how wonderful everyone was. From the welcoming hostess to our server who was so personable to the busboys who provided their suggestions to the bar manager who came to great is and get our feedback on our night. It was the first time going to the new location but everyone there made it feel like coming to a good friend's home.

The food was fresh, creative, perfectly prepared and honestly some of the best we've had at the Jersey Shore. And the service was every bit as good. Samantha was our waitress and she was simply phenomenal -- genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, fun, and somehow always there exactly when we needed her without ever hovering. She made an already incredible dinner that much better. And don't overlook the cocktails. I'm admittedly an Old Fashioned snob, and theirs was one of the best I've had -- so good I had to have another just to make sure. Then came dessert. Nobody wanted dessert. We were all too full. Somehow we ordered them anyway...and every last bite was devoured. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Chef Mike's is an absolute must. Incredible food, fantastic cocktails, awesome atmosphere and exceptional service. We'll 100% be back. One of those meals you're still talking about after you leave!

Came here for a birthday dinner and unfortunately left very disappointed…read more Bullet points: - BYOB - fees - not quiet! - food is oily and mediocre - service rushes It is BYOB, but we weren't given an ice bucket to keep our white wine cold. Not that we needed it (explained later.) There is a 3.29% service fee on the receipt. They will charge it for debit cards, too, which I was under the impression that's illegal. There is nothing in there to absorb all the noise, so if you have sensory issues this is not the place. Both of us are constantly at concerts and this was overwhelming. We couldn't talk to each other comfortably. The bolognese ($24) looked more of a vodka sauce than tomato and had way too much oil in it. His gnocchi ($24) was a good sauce, but the gnocchi itself tasted like it came from a box. The real star was the bread and dip they brought out. Had a bunch of garlic and crushed red pepper in it. I ate more of that than my pasta. From the moment we sat down we were rushed. The server was kind, but we barely had time to look over the menu. Once the check was brought she hovered. My bf barely got his signature finished before she collected the receipt and tried to take all the glasses off the table (she did put the water back down.) It was very crowded so I'm sure they want to turn tables, but back off. We felt unwelcome, and it certainly wasn't a dinner we needed to rush through. Safe to say we won't be back.

The octopus was cooked well and the flavor was okay but I've had better. It came with a good portion of seasoned potatoes but they were cold like a potato salad which was odd since the octopus was hot. It was a very busy night so I think the kitchen was backed up but we then waiting over 30 minutes for our main entrees. The pork chop had good flavor but was slightly overcooked and honestly not worth it for the price. The shrimp risotto was inedible and I sent it back after the first bite.

From the moment we walked in the staff seemed to read our minds on where we wanted to sit for atmosphere (outside) as it was breezy and beautiful today, to guidance to where to grab some drinks to bring back for dinner. Our waitress was sooo friendly, energetic and enthusiastic about the menu we were just excited from the get go. The food to follow stood quite well on its own. We had the lobster roll with MAD fries (recommended) and scallops and shrimp with side salad. Every bite was fresh off the boat delicious! Scallops were melt in your mouth, the shrimp were delectable and the lobster roll was a perfect combination of sweet, fresh and savory...not to mention the speciality fries that deserve a prize all their own. I love when a fresh meal lets you feel satiated, and not roll your self home stuffed with false ingredients and fillers. This place is a must stop if you're in the area. Thank you MadFish! May the four winds carry your good vibes for many years to come! Looking forward to our next visit! Brad
