Gabriel H.

Very nice restaurant! Felt like OG needed more places to eat. Be prepared for a decent wait if you have more than 2 people. Staff were very nice and attentive. Food was very good and customizable. Fairly expensive but it is a nicer restaurant. Fish and chips: Breading was a bit soggy on the fish. Fries were pretty good. Scallops were delicious and the seafood pasta was amazing Steak was cooked great, just no seasoning. Added salt and pepper and it was great. Salad was really good with a lemon vinaigrette dressing that was perfect. Mashed potatoes needed salt and pepper but tasted great. Overall it's a nice place to try out and eat occasionally!

My wallet would definitely thank me if I hit up BYOBs more often. After a solid beach day just across the border in Bradley Beach this past Saturday with my top-tier chums, some sustenance was on the docket. Ocean Grove doesn't have a ton of dining options - you can hoof it the 10 extra blocks to Asbury if there's an emergency - but SeaGrass looked like the most legit option. We grabbed a wine bottle and headed over to the downtown area in the late afternoon. I was a little nervous about the inability to make a reservation but aside from a few tables on the sidewalk and maybe one or two inside, it was pretty empty. We were able to secure some of the last available outdoor seating; very pleasant on a warm, sunny evening. I'd perused the menu beforehand like a responsible patron, and the marinated lamb pops caught my eye. We got some to share, and they were pretty scrumptious. It's not a huge serving by definition - a few legit bites - but the meat was very tender. The raspberry glaze was a good idea but I thought it was bland; even when I doused the lamb pop in it, it was a little difficult to detect on the palate. The other app we ordered, the whipped ricotta, was perfectly fine as well. This is a personal palate issue, but for me the accompanying rustic Italian bread was a little tough and needed more effort to chew - not a big deal at all. The star of that smaller dish was very clearly the ricotta concoction, which had honey and crushed red pepper, among other ingredients. I'd get both of those apps again without hesitation. I didn't have to linger too long in the Sea section of the menu to know exactly what I wanted - the herb-encrusted halibut with lobster risotto. Big fan. The halibut had some pleasant seasoning on it, was flaky and scrumptious, and the lobster risotto was awesome. My only nitpick there was I thought they went too light on the risotto; if you look at the accompanying pic, there's still a solid percentage of the plate that's basically empty and could have used another scoop, if only for the optics. But overall, I didn't regret my decision. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality almost immediately grilled the waitress on how fresh the fish was, and this was a rare time where the response was an aggressive (in a good way), resounding answer - "very." I mean, you'd hope so when the ocean is literally a few blocks to the east, but you never know these days. The service was perfectly fine. We were initially a little concerned because we'd been placed at the most extreme table right on the border of the outdoor seating (I think to the point where it literally might have been in front of another business) and there was a fear that there would be difficulty noticing us. But those concerns were moot - our waitress was over regularly and though it was a leisurely meal befitting a vacation weekend, we didn't wait a particularly long time for everything. A nice pleasant pace. Honestly, nothing was mind-blowing here to the point where I'd go out of my way to visit, but there also weren't any real issues so if I did happen to be back in the area, I'd absolutely go back. Just don't forget your Sauvignon Blanc.

Came here with a group of 8 last month. They don't take reservations, but we got there for early dinner and were seated within a few minutes. Aquarium and ambiance is fantastic. They make their own tea but not their own lemonade (they use a brand name) so they made us Arnold Palmer's which were fabulous and not too sweet. Order the sword fish 10/10. My friend let me try, the sauce is perfection. I hope ended up having the steak which was good too, but next time I am definitely having the sword fish. Shout out to Cory, our server, for going above and beyond and making things easier on our group so we could focus on gabbing with our group. I can't wait to go back to OG and Sea Grass! Oh and it's BYOB

If you're in the mood for seafood and you're in the Asbury Park/ Ocean Grove area, check out Sea Grass. The decor is coastal chic, with lovely fish art on the walls. Service was welcoming, professional and prompt. The food was very good! To start, we had the mussels in a tomato broth served with a hearty rustic bread that was warm . My husband had the avocado and goat cheese salad, I opted for the avocado salad they had different toppings, how cool. For the main we had the crab cakes, so flavorful, moist and delicious. Tip: this is a B.Y.O.B. restaurant. Cheers!

Debbie S.

I heard so many recommendations on Seagrass, and it lived up to the hype! Beautiful ambiance and great service. Filet mignon and lobster special with broccoli rabe was excellent! Perfectly prepared. Duck special was also mouth watering!!

Amanda H.

We sat outside and have a lovely lunch. I asked the waitress her advice between a few dishes and she recommended her favorite - the avocado salad, which comes with edamame, carrot ginger dressing, and add chicken. It was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. My friend got the lobster BLT and loved it. I tried I bite and loved it as well. Service was excellent and we got to enjoy ciders we brought in icy cold cups provided by the restaurant. A great touch. I would definitely return and recommend to others. Lots of great things to try.

What an absolute gem of a place. From the moment we stepped in, Kristina made us feel at home. She was so kind and thoughtful. Before we could even ask anything she was already two steps ahead. The food was great - wonderful combinations of traditional dishes with tasty sauces. Loved this place. Absolutely exceptional service.

Half price night on Wednesdays in the off season! I was pleasantly surprised how packed it was tonight, despite it being a cold wintery Wednesday night. They don't take reservations, but we got one of the last open tables. They are BYOB (yay!). Started with Whipped Ricotta with pistachios - delicious! It came with plenty bread that was warm and lightly toasted. My Roasted Atlantic Salmon with sesame-soy glaze and soba noodle stir fry was flavorful and cooked to perfection. My husband had the Crispy Herb Encrusted Halibut; note that it came with vegetable risotto instead of lobster because it was half-price night (up charge to keep the lobster). Like many restaurants these days, they charge a 3.5% credit card service fee. Just something to be aware of in case you want to pay cash.

Cajun salmon special - appy was the whipped ricotta - see description in review

pam s.

I haven't been there in years. Loved our server, he was very good. They didn't rush us out after we ate, I met a friend who I haven't seen in a year. We got the whipped ricotta appetizer w Basile and honey and hot pepper seeds w fresh bread for dipping. We both got the Cajun salmon special over arugula w avocado, pineapple, cranberry- it was delicious. Nice atmosphere. Booths or tables inside. Tables outside too but it was too hot - they don't take reservations but 5:30 pm on a Thursday in July, we sat down immediately. I look forward to going back

Went with some friends on NYE. Despite the fact that it was so busy, service was excellent. Our server paid attention to our table all night, food came out quickly, everything was delicious. Somebody in my party has a severe dairy allergy and was able to be accommodated. The oysters were fresh and they add pear to the mignonette sauce, which was a nice touch. I loved the grilled swordfish dish. I already plan on going back next week for the exact same dish. The coconut curry sauce that the swordfish is served in, was the most incredible thing that I've ever tasted. The creme brulee was excellent as well. I don't remember our server's name but we had a complicated way of dividing our check and although it was insanely busy, she still helped us. I will be back weekly for the swordfish in coconut curry sauce.

Went for lunch recently and got the marinated lamb pops with raspberry soy glaze and wilted spinach, crispy calamari salad with kalamata olives and lemon vinaigrette (a favorite), and a side of fries. Good food and good service. SeaGrass was quiet the day we went but is usually pretty busy, even in the off season.

Sesame encrusted tuna on bokchoy with red bliss mash and light wasabi sauce

S A.

We go just for their sesame encrusted tuna -- the flavors in this dish are an incredible symphony, with a little wasabi sauce on the mash. The tuna is best when you get it rare: crispy on the outside and tender inside. We had the Avocado Salad which is: spring mix, hass avocado, cucumber, tomato, edamame, toasted peanut, crispy wonton, carrot-ginger dressing. It was just so light and refreshing, and the dressing complemented perfectly without overpowering. It was the perfect starter. Service was prompt and our waiter made great recommendations. The ambience is comfortable, chic and upscale. Our favorite, go to restaurant when we visit Ocean Grove.

We were seated outside on a beautiful late spring evening, and were well served with food that was both delicious (sea food offering was exceptional) and beautiful to behold. Our server was engaging and very prompt - the BYOB status that's required by Ocean Grove's ordinance made for an opportunity to share my wife's wine with another table - weaving that web of magic that makes family of us all! Highest recommendation! read more

Seagrass is our fav restaurant in the Ocean Grove, Avon, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Ocean Township and Asbury Park area. The menu is diverse with excellent specials. The atmospheres is warm and we enjoy eating outside during the three warm seasons especially since Seagrass is outside dog friendly. What makes the restaurant extra special are the dedicated hard working and friendly staff. Whenever we dine at Seagrass we are treated like family. Christina, Kat, Victoria, Lauren, Veronica are just a few of the staff that work very hard to ensure a visit to Seagrass is special. I highly recommend Seagrass to anyone who is hoping for a delightful lunch or dinner. read more

Lobster BLT . . . . that's the review!! What a Tasty lobster sandwich they serve up here at Sea Grass restaurant in Ocean Grove, NJ. Took a ride to Ocean Grove beach on a late fall day during the Pandemic and sat outside socially distant from other diners. We really enjoyed the food and service at Sea Grass. Highly recommend the Lobster BLT, only thing that would make it better is if it were closer to where I live. On our visit we also enjoyed the Crab and Avocado salad. Street Parking is available and the restaurant is BYOB. read more

DO NOT ORDER THE LOBSTER BLT!!!!!!!! Sea Grass used to be my favorite restaurant at the Jersey Shore. We have always ordered the Lobster BLT which was filled with sweet lobster meat and have always raved about the sandwich. Yesterday, my family and I returned looking forward to the special treat and were EXTREMELY disappointed. The sweet lobster meat has been replaced with a mushy mix which may have included some stringy lobster meat. It did not taste fresh. The restaurant raised the price to $34, which I would have been happy to pay for the previous version. We will NEVER return. I read more

We used to frequent this restaurant, hadn't been there for a while, so we went on this Saturday night, was seated right away on a Saturday surprising !.... VERY DISAPPOINTED.... The place isn't as clean as it used to be , the items we usually ordered because we thought they did a good job with , not so much anymore ! And the service was subpar, they should make the bus boy a waiter, he gave the tables more attention and more service than the waitress ! I've been in the restaurant business for MANY years as a ex-chef and I don't normally do reviews, because anyone can have a bad day, but we've been there MANY Times and know differently. I have NO problem with today's prices, but at least make what you feature on your menu with your heart ! ...... fried calamari needs the benefit of salt, pepper and granulated garlic added to the flour coating, because there is nothing else to give any flavor. Salmon was OVER cooked and dry , soda was flat ! Hate wasting hard earned money won't return unfortunately read more

Yes the wait is a bit but due to limited seating due to covid, you must have some patience. While waiting, walk over to Asbury to grab beer or wine since it BYOB. I highly recommend the seafood pasta and the halibut. Both are very delicious and fulfilling. I was happy to see that the soups were a big portion. The clam chowder was more on the salty side but the lobster was delicious. I just wish a bread basket was at the table and they took your number down so they can text you when the table is ready instead of waiting around. read more

AMAZING AMAZING FOOD! OMG! So glad we came here. It's just like 15 minutes walk from the Asbury beach boardwalk but totally worth it! Food on the pictures does not do this place any justice, the portion were HUGE and so much seafood! VALIE FOR MONEY! Visiting from NYC, this is a steal! Definitely a must eat! I paid pay $25 for a pizza near the boardwalk but here I got 1 & 1/4 lobster stuffed with scallops and shrimps for $32! Icing on the cake, all the staff were really friendly. We even got to chat personally with out waitress as we came 10 minutes before closing and they still served us without rushing us, even offered us the dessert menu. Thanks Kristi! read more

We've gone a number of times, but don't think we'll be going again. First, parking can be challenging, as street spaces are limited. They have a policy of limiting the number of checks they will issue to two per table, even though they encourage you to pay in cash, adding a 3.5% charge for card (debit or credit) use. We did so. This is unnecessary, as the use of cash eliminates the transaction fees and causes confusion as it takes time and a lot of accounting to figure out who had what. It also reduces the amount of work the server has to do, which we suspect was the point. You shouldn't have to work so hard and takes away from enjoying the food, especially when they want to move you out by asking every five minutes whether you done with the check (owner and server) to move you out when they're busy, which is often. Now, the food. Their policy is to list high prices for the entrees and charge half-price. In fairness, the 1/2 price selections were extended to the whole menu, not just the specials, as it was not in season. My steak was a little fatty but not bad. One companion had a clam dish, which for some reason had sausage in it, which she did not like. Another had an airplane chicken dish which had a hard crust rendering it uneatable to him. No salad or soup came with the meals, and we were charged $3 for 3 slices of rye, cut in half to appear to be more. As is the case with many restaurants today, the noise level was high, making it difficult to hear the server at times. In sum, we can no longer recommend this restaurant." read more

Had a great second visit to Sea Grass! As mentioned in other reviews this restaurant is BYOB, so we started with our wine (which they nicely brought an ice bucket for) and the oyster special. My boyfriend really appreciated how the oysters weren't overly salty and the pear glaze added a good flavor. Since we had such a large appetizer, we decided to split the halibut for our entree. We were pleasantly surprised when our waitress brought out two plates, pre-split for us. The halibut had a nice herb crust and was served over lobster risotto (and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster!!). Overall, lovely dining experience! read more

A recent visit at Seagrass was extremely disappointing. Over the years, I have been at Seagrass many times. Therefore, the loud noise, crowds and delays in service were no surprise. However, the service was despicable! The waitress was slow to take our orders, did not ask how we enjoyed our meals, if we needed water, sighed when a request was made and even gritted her teeth when speaking to us. Two adult women, very appropriately dressed, with good manners, saying please and thank you....we were in a quandary as to why we were treated so poorly. The food was, as always, delicious, but lost appetites left us unable to eat. I left a good tip, though God only knows why. The waitress was not new, in fact, she has waited on me before. Perhaps she was having a bad day. So disappointed that I am not sure if I will be returning. read more

Cesear salad was drenched in mayo, fried seafood has no flavor and had a disgusting coating and the tartar sauce they served it with was not good either. Swordfish was the best of the offerings but still not good and it also tasted like it was in a sweet mayo sauce.

Seafood entrees are excellent. I've ordered halibut, scallops, and salmon and they each have subtle but satisfying profile of ingredients. The risotto (sometimes with lobster) is their speciality and often comes as a bed for a fish filet. On Wednesdays off season, entrees are half off (but get there early because the wait could be 30min-1hr!). Seagrass is a family favorite at the Jersey Shore. Every single time we're in Ocean Grove, we know we can depend on the quality of their food, service, and dining experience--all a block from the beach. Delicious local hub! read more

I drove over from Asbury Park because I was hungry for a fried oyster Po'boy Sandwich.The Oyster Bar had no fried oysters, and Sea Grass had the closest thing I could find to fried oyster Po'boy, a fried cod fish sandwich. As I reviewed the menu, no fried sandwich. I inquired and was informed the sandwich was part of the lunch menu, we were on dinner. So I asked for the appetizers of fried oysters which looked inviting. I asked for two slices of bread and was told it didn't come with bread. I asked the waitress if she would see what she could do Wow, not only did she arrive with a plate of gorgeous fried oysters it came with two beautifully buttered pieces toasted Frend bread with a big side of tarter sauce.

What a great little spot in Ocean Grove!!! Dined on a Thursday night around 7pm, it was a little crowded but not too bad, we were a party of 5 and sat down inside right away. The menu is small, but great options to choose from! We got the calamari, fried oysters, vegetable spring rolls and lamb pops for appetizers. Oh boy were those lamp pops a wonderful surprise!! Served with sautéed spinach and a raspberry sauce, definitely stole the show. My party got the seafood pasta, crusted halibut and the flat iron steak on the special menu.

Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars on yelp because this place is amazing! If you're looking for fresh, tasty, well made seafood in a cute beach town with great service, then you've come to the right place! This restaurant is located only a few blocks from the beach in a small town that has a very nice atmosphere. Now that the sun is out, they provide the option to dine inside or outside on the terrace! I ordered the monkfish that was on their specials menu... omg this was AMAZING. It was accompanied with a lobster rice pilaf and the flavors in this dish were so good. To start I had decided to get the lobster bisque and was definitely not disappointed. You can easily taste the fresh lobster in this soup! Part of the dining experience is having good service, and this place is the definition of that. The hostess was very friendly was able to get us a table right away. Our waitress was wonderful and even gave me some extra soup to fill my leftovers container! And another waitress I had talked to before remembered me and came over to say hi! That's service with a smile. Now I never forget about dessert... which was sooo good! I had the cheesecake which they make in house and it was so fluffy and soft! Three things to know about this place: it's byob! They have 1/2 off entrees on Wednesdays if you pay with cash. And the entrees are decent portions so you actually get a good amount of food for the buck! So come here! You'll love it! read more

Ok so I just moved to Asbury Park, and I've been exploring all nearby restaurants. Not only is the area cute, the restaurant is as well. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and gives you the "Ocean" vibe. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer and swordfish for my entree. The fish was so fresh and delicious. It was soft like butter melting into my mouth. Our server was nice and attentive as well. I will be back. read more

Also, quick PSA on the dirty martini: it's shaken with blue cheese and comes out looking more like blue cheese dressing than a martini.

The restaurant was located in a multi-floor home on Wesley Lake, just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Cookman Avenue. The first floor was more of a bar and lounge, and they had a live jazz band on the evening we visited. We checked in with the hostess and were escorted up to the second floor dining room, which was a charming spot that was breezy and comfortable, yet refined. The floor also had its own bar. Our server was on top of things, but was also clearly newer to the place. Regardless, once we got settled, she took our drink orders, which had taken us some time to decide on since the menu was creative and vast. I went with A Sidecar Named Desire, which included Courvoisier VSOP, Cointreau, Chinola passionfruit liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. I adore passion fruit and had always liked sidecars as well, so I figured it was worth a try, and I loved it! It had a good balance of tart sweetness and smokiness. My friend similarly enjoyed her spicy margarita, and we both imbibed while picking on some bread and herb butter. For our meal, we decided to start by sharing the Greek Salad, which was a massive bowl of romaine topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, red onions, and Kalamata olives. We left off the feta cheese, but enjoyed the seasoned dressing made of red wine vinegar, honey, salt, oregano, and olive oil. It was a fresh and flavorful mix of vegetables that was a pleasure to eat. The entree options were endless and offered something for everyone. I wound up going with the Chilean Sea Bass, which was served over sweet onions and potatoes in a tomato herb reduction. The fish was tender and perfectly cooked. It was a light and tasty dish that seemed perfect for the Spring season. After our meals we were a bit too full for dessert, but we decided to get a second round of drinks, mainly because I was dying to try their Pistachio Espresso-Tini. Wow, was that drink delicious! It blended Ketel One Vodka, Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur, natural pistachio flavor, and fresh espresso. The coffee notes were not super prevalent, but the creaminess, nuttiness was the real highlight. It was a decadent way to end a delicious meal. After we settled the bill and headed downstairs, I noticed several bowls of after-dinner mints, which were a nice touch. From the relaxed atmosphere to the interesting and expansive menu, Moonstruck was a terrific option for our Asbury dinner experience.

This new venue is definitely smaller than the original, but maintains a clean minimalist aesthetic. The server could not have been more helpful or accommodating and had a very intimate knowledge of seemingly every item on the menu, including the extensive list of specials. We began with dumplings, calamari salad, and some tuna sushi rolls. The dumplings were perfectly satisfactory and hit the spot just right for when you're craving a dumpling. Dipping sauce complimented them well. Additionally, the sushi rolls had incredibly flavorful and fresh tasting tuna. Lastly, the calamari salad, being the most unique of the bunch, was definitely the star. It had a mild flavor, that was brought out and paired perfectly with their wonderful in-house sauce. My entree was the xo fat noodles and they were nothing short of fantastic. It had wonderful flavor, a good assortment of veggies and proteins, in a very generously sized portion. This may be my new go-to, as I will certainly be making a return visit.

Their brunch list, on the other hand, had much more to offer, so my friend and I stopped in there for a late afternoon meal. We had gotten held up shopping around town, so we arrived close to the end of their brunch time window, and the place was completely empty. The restaurant's rustic, Mediterranean elegance was not lost on us, however. We kept it simple and only ordered main dishes. I opted for the Tofu Scramble, which was plated with a side of Calabrian deep-fried potatoes and some sort of spicy tomatillo salsa that was studded with chickpeas. The whole dish had a lot of seasoning, but it was greasy. I tried a few of my friend's za'atar fries, and they were also very oily. She thought her Fried Chicken Sandwich was decent, though. We both felt like REYLA was a stunning restaurant with just above mediocre food. I would not be opposed to going back there, but I would not rush there either.

There are a few seating options: outdoor seating right on the boardwalk (about a 30-minute wait when we arrived), indoor dining with no wait, or bar seating which is first-come, first-served. We initially put our name in for the boardwalk wait but ended up being seated almost immediately after checking out the bar area. The hostesses were incredibly friendly and welcoming, both at the front and in the back. Service throughout the meal was definitely on the slower side, although our waiter was pleasant and polite. One small thing that bothered me: when I ordered bottled water, the glasses appeared to be taken from a neighboring table that had been sitting there. They may have been perfectly clean and unused, but psychologically I'd rather receive fresh glasses. Not a huge issue, just something I noticed. Now for the food. The crab cake was excellent - easily the highlight of my meal. My friend ordered oysters, and I tried one as well. They were fresh and delicious. For my entree, I asked for a salad recommendation and was steered toward the peach salad. Unfortunately, this was a miss. The peaches were hard and unripe, and the dressing was so vinegar-heavy that I found it nearly impossible to eat. My friend was hungry and less picky than I am, so he ended up finishing it. I politely mentioned the issue to our waiter, making it clear I wasn't looking for anything removed from the bill since the salad had still been eaten. After that interaction, though, it felt like he disappeared for much of the evening, and we had to flag him down to get a dessert menu. Ironically, I decided not to follow his recommendation this time and ordered the chocolate cake instead. Great decision. It was absolutely delicious and ended up being another highlight of the meal. Have you ever had one of those experiences where every recommendation is somehow the wrong one for you? It happens. This is a beachfront restaurant, and maybe the salad was just an off day. The only reason I'm mentioning it is to save someone else from ordering that particular salad if the kitchen is preparing it the same way. Overall: friendly staff, great location, excellent crab cake, fresh oysters, delicious chocolate cake, decent drinks, but slow service and a disappointing peach salad. I'd definitely return - I'd just skip the salad next time.

My Boyfriend and I were at the beach all day and decided to shop a little when we walked past a little outdoor restaurant and figured we would give it a try. We were seated outside but way back in corner table almost in the next building area. We waited about 15 minutes even to just be approached. Finally, the waitress came over , no introduction whatsoever, asking for our beverage order. She came back over 10 minutes later with drinks and took our order. No bread was offered and we waited a substantial amount of time for our Apps. Finally our Apps were delivered, and I asked her for a replacement Soda because the one she brought me tasted like water. She told me they were having issues with their Soda that night. The lamb chops were dry with absolutely n flavor whatsoever but the Bisque and shrimp cocktail were very good I waited over 15 minutes for the replacement soda after asking her numerous times as she was delivering other beverages to other guests nearby and looking over at me confused, knowing she had forgotten. Another 10 minutes went by and still no replacement soda. After finishing and piling our Appetizer plates on to side of table and waiting a long while again, they finally brought our Dinner. I ordered the Halibut, which was really delicious, and my boyfriend had the Scallops which he also enjoyed. At this point we were trying to forgive and forget the lack of good service, but unfortunately it was not over yet. we waited another long while to see our server again for her to check on Us and clear our dinner plates. Finally someone cleared our table and we asked for our server to order dessert. We then waited another 15 minutes watching her cater to surrounding tables and disregarding Us AGAIN.. The tables surrounding Us were also looking for her as they did not even have Silverware to eat their Appetizers or water etc. Finally dessert menus arrived and we decided. Again we had to ask several people to send our Server over and also get up and ask Hostess as well, who pretty much ignored me and continued to count her money. Again I sat back down and waited, only to ask another waitress to order dessert and she said she could not. Our Server finally arrived looking very upset and took our dessert order. We the waited and waited and finally she arrived and pretty much THREW THE DESSERTS ON THE TABLE to where the forks flew off the dishes onto the table. We both looked at each other and called someone over. The server we spoke to was literally dumbfounded and speechless with a blank stare at the both of Us, I got up and went to the cashier area and asked to speak to a MANAGER, and was also given a dumbfounded stare. At this point I had spoken and asked "Several" servers for a Manager, and still no one . After waiting again, I made another request to the cashier and she proceeded to tell me that there was no manager on duty. She proceeded to give me an attitude and was very rude asking what my problem was. As I was explaining our entire situation to her, My server came over and started yelling at me that she did not throw desserts onto the table nor did she ignore us all night. Then another Server approached and stood in my face with a snide attitude lunging at me and YELLING IN MY FACE for me to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Surrounding tables were watching this go on for 20 minutes in disbelief, and also making several comments to their ongoing inappropriate behavior. I have never seen such an unprofessional staff in my 51 years and have never been treated so badly. From the second I approached the other servers, hostess, and cashier, not one of them EVER acknowledged the problems I was having during my dinner and NOT ONCE was I given even the smallest RESEMBLANCE OF AN APOLOGY. After walking out, past other outside tables,other guests continued to share their own horror stories of their lack of service during their night, and praised me for approaching them, and being their VOICE!!!! The WAIT STAFF needs to be TRAINED AGAIN!!!!! They need to be TRAINED PROPERLY ON how to DO THEIR JOBS let alone SPEAK to PAYING Customers. And I did not know MY Servers name until after I paid my check and left.. HER NAME IS VICTORIA, and as far as the rest of the inappropriate staff, not one of them ever took the time to introduce themselves either.

These people are bullies, I am a 10 year plus resident of Ocean Grove, Sea Grass has a fraudulent parking sign for their restaurant on a public street, if you are a resident of Ocean Grove you already know how difficult it is to find parking... some older lady working there lied once to me about the sign being an "official ordinance" and said I would be towed while just trying to unload groceries up to my house, total lie, bullying me instantly, then lied to a police officer she called that I "cursed her out" when really I said the sign is clearly not following NJ regulations about tow away signs and that she was a rude bully and should get a life... the cop even admitted to my girlfriend there was no ordinance and that the sign was not lawful, but asked her to move just as a favor to him to shut these bullies up... if you don't believe me please see the image attached in this review of the actual NJ state rules about tow away signs, their sign is not even close to being in compliance, I spoke to my lawyer about it as well... I recommend everyone avoid eating their slimy food, but I do recommend parking in front of their unlawful sign... please park there and let them know they have no right to bully Ocean Grove residents who have to regularly park miles away from their homes... we will be regularly parking in front of their fraudulent parking sign from this point forward.. we hope you will join us.. please boycott this horribly rude anti-Ocean Grove resident establishment.. do not let the bullies win! read more
