Everything we've ever heard is all true - and then some! Beautiful ambiance, incredible server, and the food - oh my goodness! From the amazing bread (and the butter spread WOW) to the delicious lobster bisque, Caesar salad for our apps, we weren't sure if the dishes could get any better! Then the Rosie's Short Rib and Short Rib pasta arrived! We would be hard pressed to recall the last time we had food this incredible! Cannot wait to come back again - definitely sooner rather than later! Thank you, Rosie's! read more

Food and service decent, but an app. we split was not. We mentioned this to the owner as we were leaving, AFTER we paid our check. He became a bit angry, confrontational, saying "no one else complained about it." Just apologize, be courteous, friendly, smile. Noticed that Robert responds to most of the unfavorable comments with negative, insulting remarks. That basically says all you need to know about him. Had you spoken to me respectfully, cordially, I would have been happy to give you the info you requested. Go away. read more

This restaurant is very cozy and the food is very tasty. The staff is very courteous and always alert to people's needs. A must go if you are looking for a special place to dine in NJ. read more

Rosie’s Ocean Gate - This is a very savory halibut dish. - Seafood Near Me - Ocean Gate, New Jersey

First time here !! This place was outstanding ! The pear martinis were amazing - going down a little too good - my husbands old fashioned had such a cute rose ice cube which I thought the added touch was great - the appetizers we had the bacon and pork belly and the calamari - everything was so tasteful ! The bacon was not over fatty either was the pork belly - the best bacon app we had out in a while - entrees - the pork chop special was cooked to perfection and so different with the apple caramel reduction - it complimented it so well - the Chilean sea bass was top notch !! Definitely can't wait to go back - and our server Chad was the perfect mix of not overbearing but yet so attentive ! I wish we would've went sooner !! read more

Great service and delicious food. Cute little spot and surprising quite nice inside.

Such amazing service and food! The blackberry margarita was insanely good. The venue was super clean and well organized read more

This meal turned me into a super fan and that's not easy. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who is passionate about the restaurant and could quickly tell, this is not a side project for them. Rosie's is the real deal. Our waitress was attentive but not over bearing, a true gift. To start off, our drinks were blended well and showcases Rosie's mixologist. Appetizers: We had A5 thin sliced steak that melted upon touching our palate. Next, we had Burrata with prosciutto over toasted bread. Fantastic and very fresh!!! We asked our sever to pass our compliments to the chef and are glad we did. The chef made a table side appearance and dropped off a menu item he was working on. We will not give it away to cause them undue requests but it contained duck and took months to cure!!! Truly over the top! Now to our entrees, I had one of the specials, Braised short rib with exotic mushrooms over house made pasta. Breathtaking . It was as if Willy Wonka was back in that kitchen. A symphony of flavor profiles that married well. THE BEST PASTA DISH OF 2024!!! We also ordered the Scallops over lemon orzo. Look at the photo, we are not talking small or even medium scallops but deep sea jumbo scallops. Perfectly seared and not overcooked. They were laying over a bed of lemon Orzo. This is a tricky dish as the lemon could easily overpower the senses and drown out the star of the show. Chef and his team executed it impeccably which allowed us to take a fork full while still appreciating each flavor profile. You all made a night out, a night to remember. THANK YOU ALL!!! read more

Maybe it had something to do with it being Valentine's weekend, but my wife and I had dinner here on the Saturday after. Our Coconut Shrimp appetizer was bland and slightly overcooked. I ordered Steak and Lobster Pasta. The 1/2 lobster tail was over broiled to the point of not being able to remove the shell without using my hands to pry it out. My wife liked her Short Ribs but I found they lacked any flavor. We saved the portion she did not eat and gave it to our dogs. They liked it! For the prices they were charging, it was not worth it. read more

We had my son's 50th Birthday dinner on a Sunday afternoon. There was 30 people present. ( a few kids) It was so great! First, it was so easy to book and it was set up beautifully. The food was so delicious, served hot and each table had their meals served at the same time. The sevice was exceptional. The main server was awesome. She greeted everyone, made sure they had something to drink right away. She was quick, efficient and always smiling from the first drink to the last bite of Birthday Cake. (sorry, i wish I could remember her name.) The rest of the staff helping her and the bar staff were also terrific. My family complimented the food, the service, and a general always smiling staff. One of the owners, Sue, was present and interacted with my family when they arrived and she was so gracious! This is not unusual. I have been to Rosie's several times and it's always great. Happy hour, Martini Mondays and special events are always fun because the bar food is delicious and staff is always happy. Nothing you ask for is a problem. I give my highest compliments to the owners, Sue and Rob (Bobby. ) sue. Rob and the hostesses are always around greeting everyone and spending a couple of minutes chatting with their patrons. Their beautiful smiles are reflected in their staff. I just love going to Rosie's. read more

Excellent new restaurant in Ocean Gate My daughter and I had dinner there and everything from the food, service and ambiance were great! I had the wasabi encrusted chilean sea bass. The fish was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of wasabi My daughter gad a scallop dish that was equally delicious. Their lobster bisque was also delicious. We will be returning soon read more

The food here is amazing from the apps, the cocktails, the entrées and the desserts. The prices are high, but you pay for what you get, which is high-quality food in Ocean. In addition, there is a bar that serves delicious bar food at lower prices. read more

Went recently with my husband after having gone with a friend this summer and having a great meal. Unfortunately the experience was night and day. In the summer our food was top notch. Service was incredible. Ambiance was fantastic. Recently, however, I can't say the same. Our table was in a very high traffic location and it was very loud. The waiter seemed new, and that's fine, I spent many years in the restaurant industry, I have plenty of patience for people learning the ropes. The apps were sub par. I ordered the buratta and the "crustini" was anything but. More like cold wet bread that was slapped on a charbroil flame grill for black marks. We didn't recieve our wine until halfway through our meal. Did not get bread and butter like every other table nearby. My husbands steak was over cooked and my short rib was cold. The asparagus accompanying it also had that flame charbroil taste. Very unappetizing. We ordeeed tiramisu for dessert and it was very flat and extremely soggy. Absolutely saturated in espresso and honestly didn't taste fresh. This meal cost over $200 and was not anything to impress and certainly doesn't make us want to return. In this economy spending that kind of money on one meal should leave you wow'd and eager to return. That just isn't the case here. read more

once again, we had an outstanding dining experience in this little hidden gem in Ocean Gate. The seafood risotto was a visual delight! The shrimp were huge and the scallops seared to perfection. My grandson was humming as he ate the pork chop special. If you are a bread fanatic, the warm, seasoned, crispy bread and flavored butter, hit the spot. Always impeccable, caring service, friendly, welcoming atmosphere adds that special touch and makes dining here a pleasure! read more

Not ever again. Argumentative staff. Salmon was undercooked. Drinks were terrible. My stepmother fell and hurt herself in the restroom. read more

The food was just okay at best, the first drink I got (margarita) had no liquor in it. The dessert had a stale cookie. I wanted to love it but just was less than sub-pair for $200 per couple I'll save my money. read more

Rosie's is a beautiful fine dining restaurant in Ocean Gate. There is seating both in the restaurant and at the bar. My party chose to sit in the bar and we were instantly greeted by wonderful and attentive staff. The menu is vast and truly has something for everyone! I ordered the lobster roll, a bar food special, and it was incredible. The lobster macaroni was another favorite of the table. Everything that we ordered was fresh, thoughtfully created, and exceeded expectations. Rosie's is worth every penny and I can't wait to come back and try other delicious items off the menu. read more

Tiramisu baby. Enjoyed the lobster bisque and the hummus. Upstairs is much quieter than the first floor so if you're old like us go to the second floor read more

Rosie’s Ocean Gate - Tiramisu baby - Seafood Near Me - Ocean Gate, New Jersey

Our first time there and we loved everything about it... obviously the food; which was exquisite... to start the drunken clams w/andouille sausage, baby kale in an amazingly flavorful creamy broth made me want an entire loaf of bread to soak up all the deliciousness! Their flash fried wasabi crusted sea bass over sticky rice w/honey soy glaze, juicy diced mango and corn&cabbage slaw was quite literally one of the most perfectly prepared, flavor-balanced dishes I have ever eaten. Hands down the best sea bass for sure! Only sad that this was a 'special' because I would probably order it every single time... The homemade pappardelle w/short rib in a garlic cream sauce was excellent, as well... smitten w/their lively, yet intimate atmosphere, the incredibly attentive and friendly staff, perfectly prepared cocktails and the location w/that great view of the water. We are definitely the newest fans of all things Rosie's! read more

Restaurant was pretty and had a good atmosphere, the food was okay, we had a tomahawk steak for 2 and it was extremely tough and the side of veggies (carrots ) were undercooked. They brought the steak to the table and then never brought us a plate or steak knifes and we waited 5-10 mins and flagged down our waitress. The couple next to us had a salad delivered to there table and the waiter realized it wasn't theirs and came back took it off the table and then gave it to another customer. It's an okay restaurant. read more

AMAZING. DELICIOUS. IMMACULATE VIBES. Server Ashley is our favorite - highly recommend her (she is just a doll !! ) and would go back every day if we could. read more

Great food, great service (ask for Sarah), great drinks. Always love the pork chop, short ribs and any seafood special. My aunt (Rosie) loves the salmon and lobster bisque. read more

Very bad experience with my guest at Rosie's. This place is way overrated and overpriced. The service was also to pushy. The food was actually awful. Sheared tuna that was not good and the beef rib was way to small of a piece. They deserved a one star only because ! read more

Celebrated my 60h bday at Rosie's tonight and it was amazing. Food was fantastic - prickly pear martini, steak bites with blue cheese appetizer, rib eye and also scallops for entrees. Lemon meringue dessert. Excellent from start to finish and our server Lyndsey was an absolute sweetheart! Thank you so much for a wonderful bday!! We will certainly be back! read more

Just had dinner at Rosie's. The food was amazing (oysters and gluten free calamari) and it was such a nice experience. Kuki Livingston the greeter is the loveliest woman and Eli and the boys behind the bar are champs! The place is very well done and Kuki showed us the second floor water view. It was rainy while we were there but looking forward to going back on a sunny day. Highly recommend. read more

10 stars ALL AROUND!! We stopped in here by accident and we were so pleased. This place is a HIT everything we ordered were top notch and the bread and garlic butter to die for !! Can't wait to come back. read more

Great place... good food and atmosphere....good friendly service..... but maybe time to drop the fee for paying with a debit card.... When you pay $20 at the bar and $170 on dinner, your $6 fee for paying with a debit card sucks! read more

My fiancé and I love to come here whenever we have the time. The food is PHENOMENAL! I do not consider them "pricey" due to the fact that an appetizer at Applebees is the same price as Rosie's and the quality of food is a million times better. We have been here often and never had a bad experience. Everyone is so nice and welcoming, I love how the owners and staff walk around and check on tables to make sure that everyone is satisfied with their experience and food. The ambiance is beautiful, it's is very modern and sleek. It is also very clean! Now for the food... Rosie's starts you off with bread that is SO good. The bread comes with oil and butter, the butter is sweet and delicious and yes it is better than Cheesecake Factory's infamous bread. The only complaint that I have is that we need more bread! I can not come to Rosie's and not get the short rib. The short rib is so tender and juicy, the mashed potatoes are homemade and the veggies are cooked perfectly. My fiancé is obsessed with the pork chop, I think it had an apple or peach glaze (I believe it was a special.) He loved it so much that he asked me to try to replicate it for dinner one night LOL. If you come here you must get the edamame dumplings! The wasabi sauce is spicy but not overly spicy, it truly is perfect. I am not a huge seafood lover, but the tuna nachos are always amazing and the calamari is perfect and not chewy or over cooked. The pan seared halibut was also amazing and cooked perfectly. The crème brûlée was so creamy and the sugar was not burnt, it was perfect. Now... THE DRINKS! I have had numerous drinks from Rosie's, including but not limited to: The Prickly Pear Martini, Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz, Classic Old Fashioned, and the Chocolate Martini. ALL we're amazing and will definitely have you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside after ONE. This is our go to spot for date nights and birthdays. If you have not already, check this place out! You will not regret it. read more

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Rosie's and has a great time. We were seated outside on the balcony with a fantastic view of the river. The servers were very friendly sweet and attentive, and the food was delicious. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Food was very good. Our server was very nice. Sat in bar area, was very busy because of Mother's Day

What's not to like. This upscale restaurant is a gem. Front of the house to the back. Bar, atmosphere quality food and impeccable service. Owners on premises. Friendly staff is very attentive. Outside and roof top seating weather permitting. Reservations accepted. My Chicken Milanese was juicy tender and delightful. My husbands steak cooked to perfection. His lobster bisque was best we ever had. This is a hidden gem but so worth finding. They have special events, music on Saturday night. Portions are generous which you do not find today in the present marketplace. What are you waiting for. See ya there Linda Cipriano read more

While I was in the area visiting my father and based on the reviews, we decided to give this place a try because it was close by and what a Diamond in the rough it was. The oysters where a good appetizer and For our main entrees we had; The Pork Chop & The Halibut...They where both cooked to perfection and very tasty and for desert we shared the Tiramisu which was really good and Chad our server did an awesome job. Over all, this was as good if not better than most high-end restaurants we've gone to in AC and we left with money in our pockets (wink) and it was much better than the Ocean Gate House (the previous restaurant located there) This is a must try place....We'll Be Back!!!! read more
