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

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

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

Such a cute place! The ambiance is beautiful, and the service was top notch. Everyone's food was delicious, and we all left happy and excited to go back. read more

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

Overall a good experience. We had a party of six to celebrate a birthday on Sunday 12/17 at 2pm. It's very clean and modern and we basically had the place to ourselves. Everyone enjoyed their meals, drinks and the service was good. Some the dishes we enjoyed included the tuna nachos, calamari and shrimp appetizers. All were good. Dinners included two Chilean Seabass special, Shotribs, and Sea Food risotto. All were enjoyed! 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

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

Everything was wonderful! I can't wait to go back. The food, service and atmosphere was exceptional. I had the pork chop (which I never order). It was so tender and delicious. We also had the short ribs which was cooked to perfection. read more

The food is absolutely fantastic! I've never had a less than stellar meal. The drinks are great and the staff are super friendly. The owner is super nice. Very hands-on. My wife and have made this a reg spot. read more

My family took our mother here for Mother's Day for the first time but unfortunately the experience was not great. We ordered the strawberry shortcake French toast but received French toast with cream cheese and blueberries. When we asked the manager about the "strawberry shortcake" part of the dish she informed us they ran out of strawberries and there was nothing else to substitute. I wish we would have been informed about this before ordering the French toast for $26. My mother ordered the lobster eggs Benedict but the eggs were almost hard boiled. When we asked the manager about the dish she brought out two fried eggs but they we're not poached eggs. For a $35 breakfast dish we were hoping for poached eggs! read more

2nd time we ate hear. Just as great as the first time. Tasty cocktails, yummy food and friendly efficient service.

Went with 7 other people. Were there at 4:14r and seated right sway. Menu is to small and a little pricey. Three of the women order a breaded chicken dish and all three were raw. Manager came over and told them all he was sorry about that and took them off the bill but that was it. Good point is place is nice and bartend was on point. read more

This restaurant is meh Now when ever i go to a restaurant i eat like a kid i saw nothing averting on the menu so i got the little burger sliders they where ok but the bun was hard like they put it on the grill or what ever they cook it for too long and it took awhile for it to come out of the kitchen my whole family was done and one of my relatives hadn't even gotten there food yet I don't know if they where short staffed its didn't look it because i saw the kitchen door open while walking past it and it was full of people If someone told you to go here for the fist time I probably wouldn't go I would not recommend going to eat here even just for drinks to they take long read more

I'm not sure it's worth the hype. The food was just....ok. The drinks were good, strong, not cheap with the alcohol. But the bill didn't reflect the food. It was expensive for, ok food. Just wasn't worth it to me. Service was very good, and ambiance was nice. But that's pretty much it. read more

Their Monday Happy Hours are my favorite. Drinks were great and so were the apps. Ashley is my favorite server...she is attentive and extremely knowledgeable. read more

Great food as always, definitely try the tuna nachos. Also ask for Chad, he's a great server!

The food was sub par at most. I had the risotto which was like soup . Over priced and poor quality for the price.

Beautiful restaurant. Seated quickly. We were even offered a larger table because one opened up. Promptly served in this very busy place. Appetizer was the pork belly in bbq sauce and it was so so good. I ordered the special which was a chicken dish with prosciutto arugula cheese and a roasted pepper sauce with mashed potato and asparagus. Unfortunately it was cold. Like not able to be eaten cold. It was bought back to heat up and came back warm but not hot. This time I ate it. It was good. Not great but good. Everyone was nice people consistently checked on us My fiance got the steak and was very pleased. Dessert was ordered and was very good. Cheesecake and key lime pie in a dish similar to a creme brulee dish. It was homemade. This was a pricey meal total was 175 before gratuity and included two cocktails, an app, two dinners and dessert for us both plus one coffee. read more

Attended Rosie's Galentine's Special last night and it was wonderful! Food was delicious! I usually play it safe and go with a salad & a beef or chicken entrée, but lived it up and tried the Tuna Nachos & a Salmon entree...out of this world! Cocktails, champagne, all were flowing and were top notch. The atmosphere of the night was nothing I even imagined, adorable table scape with rose petals scattered on the tables, a cozy fireplace, a killer DJ, & attentive service from start to finish. I will definitely be returning with my husband for dinner in the very near future! read more

My favorite restaurant! Food is amazing and love the atmosphere. The service is great and everyone is welcoming as soon as you enter. There is great attention to detail and food presentation which I appreciate as well as drinks. Walking the boardwalk is a great way to end the experience! I would definitely recommend for a party as well as they were very accommodating when they hosted a family party for us. A must try! read more

Stopped in for a drink during happy hour not long after it opened. I'm sure my drink was not included in their drink specials but $14 for a well drink is far too much. We did not eat there that evening because we were just stopping for a drink. I looked at the menu and it is a bit price. I don't mind paying high prices if it very good. I have heard from many people who have dined there and several were disappointed and not one said it was anything special. Sad read more

Food and service is amazing I had to write my first review, perfect happy hour spot! We got the edamame dumpling, Buffalo chicken pita dip, and fried deviled eggs, so good! read more

The restaurant is fairly new, everything I had was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. The fried calamari was cooked to perfection, lobster bisque so yummy with chunks of lobster. Ravioli bolognese fantastic. We tried so many different things and everything was delicious. If you are in the Ocean Gate area you have to try Rosie's. Almost forgot the staff so friendly and helpful the best. read more

DELICIOUS !!!! The food was fantastic... restaurant is soooo cute. Sat upstairs was quiet and nice with 6 people at a table. GET THE PORKCHOP!!! DO IT. OVERALL if I could give it 6 stars I would. read more

My sisters and I have a "sister's dinner" once a month, so we've been to countless restaurants over the last 20+ years we've been doing this. This month, with our hubbies joining us, we were excited to try the new Rosie's of Ocean Gate. We had been anxiously awaiting its opening and it certainly did not disappoint! Between the friendly, attentive staff, the gorgeous decor and welcoming atmosphere, the unique and yummy cocktails, and of course the amazingly fresh, beautifully plated, DELICIOUS entrees, we have agreed that Rosie's is one of our favorites and we all WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend it! read more

Tremendous food and outstanding service one of my new go to places interior chic and modern.

A hidden gem along Toms River. Ambiance is cool and cozy and the food is amazing. We have tried Happy Hour and the main dining room. My Short Ribs were delicious and a large portion so I brought half of it home. Our other guests enjoyed the salmon and chicken Milanese. The servers and Cookie our hostess were more than helpful and welcoming. I rarely do reviews but I wanted to send out kudos to this wonderful establishment. Definitely will be a regular here. read more

Outstanding. Food is really good. . Service, fantastic. Atmosphere , perfect. So glad we live a mile away. Kind of place where you want to be a regular. read more

Great food! Friendly staff!! Great drink specials! Highly recommend!! Can't wait to go back again soon!

Very impressed with the quality and service of this beautiful restaurant! The vibe is fresh & modern with a contemporary eclectic menu. We loved the apps; calamari, edamame dumplings & coconut shrimp were all house made , nothing frozen like most restaurants in the area. Steak, Seafood & Pasta entrees all on pint as well, presentation & flavor 10/10, highly recommen! read more

My wife on I went to Rosie's on a Saturday night and we were not disappointed. The staff were courteous, professional and organized. Every detail of the dining experience was impressive. From the delicious homemade butter for the bread to the dessert. The restaurant is very clean and well designed. We both ordered seafood and it was cooked to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant again and again. read more

My wife took me for fathers day, What a treat, Best prime rib I ever had, oysters on the half outstanding. service amazing. The owner Susie stopped by, Very Sweet Great cocktails We will be back read more

The new version of the Ocean Gate House is amazing. The inside is very nice. The food was outstanding. The service was exceptional. We will get there earlier and try the bar area which looks good also. read more

Most of our dinner was very good. Our waiter was attentive and apologetic. Our appetizer was not appetizing- it was a " Mexican Shrimp Cocktail " $22. I consider that pricey. The shrimp were not deveined. I quietly mentioned it to the waiter- he said he would notify the manage. She came over with 3 shrimp in a cupand asked if I would care for them. I said I was a little turned off to the shrimp. She asked if I wanted another appetizer, I didn't particularly care for the others( oysters, steak tar tar, etc.) I had hoped that all or part of the price for it would be removed. Or our shared dessert would be on the house, it was not. The menu also does not include non alcoholic beverage choices. I asked how much a mock tail would be- a blackberry margarita without the tequila- the server checked just in case, ( surprised) it was $14, the same as a regular margarita. I don't know if a shot of tequila was $14 like all the other drinks, but it seemed ridiculous there was no real menu if you didn't drink. read more

If you're looking for great ambiance, service and food this is the place to go. We had a great dinning experience there. Bar drinks were made classy ($$) and everyone enjoyed their entrée. We needed a good upscale restaurant in the Lacey/Bayville area. Great for special occasions, Too bad people don't get dressed up anymore, younger generation coming in with extremely casual attire, but that's the world we live in today. read more

Went for dinner Saturday night, waitress was fine, Too long of a wait on drinks from the bar. Tasteless dinner for the money, seafood dishes where was the seafood? Especially High pricing on such dishes, don't even have a view of the water. Advertising homemade everything on premises where was the lava cake, company did not deliver was the excuse they had given us. So where is all the homemade items coming from? After leaving this restaurant we would have been better off going to Burger King or McDonald's or may be right down the road to Roy Rogers.... honestly what's the hype on this restaurant. P upon leaving for the evening the parking lot was wreaking of garbage why is the garbage out in the middle of the parking lot? Health department will have a field day with this restaurant. Quality of meats and choices for entrees, poor select of supplier or is it the poor select of a chef !!!! read more
