They gave me the # for a place down the street which delivered a bottle of wine in about 6 minutes - right to my table. But the food is the deal. Several standout veal and pasta dishes. A special they have regularly is a swordfish on the bone; if they have it, GET IT. It's a whole different experience than a regular (dry) piece of swordfish. The owner Ron walks the restaurant throughout service to make sure everything is running smoothly for everyone, so it does. We've been coming here since it opened 14 years ago and we've never once been disappointed. I don't generally post reviews, but after a fantastic birthday dinner this week I realized it was time to share!

Came into Christine's in Atlantic Highlands on a Sunday for dinner. First off, the service was…read moregreat. Very welcoming and hospitable from the hostess to the servers, and even the chefs made a point to say hello. You can definitely tell it's a local spot with a loyal crowd and friendly atmosphere. The appetizers were honestly the highlight of the night. We had the fried burrata, baked clams, and the egg rolls, and all were flavorful and enjoyable. The bread was also delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Chicken Margherita and the Rigatoni Alla Sharon. The chicken was decent, simple and comforting, but nothing particularly memorable. I felt like the chicken itself could have used a little more seasoning and flavor. The biggest disappointment of the night was unfortunately the pasta dish. The Rigatoni Alla Sharon was extremely overcooked to the point where the pasta was very soft and mushy. It lacked salt and overall just didn't have the texture or flavor you hope for in a good pasta dish. We were excited to share it and it just fell flat. Overall, I'd say the appetizers alone are worth trying, but the entrees were a bit hit or miss based on our experience. The atmosphere is cute, welcoming, and clearly loved by locals, and the staff truly were wonderful throughout the night.

We had the pleasure of hosting my daughter's Sweet 16 aboard the Festiva on June 5th. From start…read moreto finish, my interactions with Captain Everett were exceptional. He is professional and quick to respond and has experienced so many different event and weather scenarios that he makes you feel incredibly comfortable with all of the planning aspects. I kept asking him if the boat was going to look as amazing as the Instagram posts and he assured me it would...and it did....actually better!!!! He is a man of his word . We used his recommended caterer and DJ for ease of planning and both were fantastic. The food was tasty and plentiful and DJ Anthony connected us to a private portal where my daughter was able to select all of her favorite music. But I would be remiss if I did not mention the Festiva crew. Each staffer friendlier and more accommodating than the next. Our experience was a 10/10 and I truly hope I have the opportunity to plan another event with Teal Cruises again.

From the wait staff, atmosphere, professionalism, flexibility, care of consumer requests, patience and diligence, I would never even think of having an event anywhere else, other than the Crystal Room.

We had nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests and it was all done in the spirit of excellence. God bless you Charlie and your family for your heartfelt genuine concern to ensure that all was done well. Author Charlene L. Dertinger

I reached out to book my birthday this year a week prior to my planned event. Jeff was my contact…read moreand at first he seemed very helpful and informative. We exchanged emails which he was also very responsive to. Then my plans changed where I had less people attending and ended up having to go with a smaller (cheaper) package. That's when the conversation stopped. He was no longer responsive, gave me little to no instruction or details for the day of (he couldn't even reply to confirm my reservation), didn't check in to make sure everything was going smoothly and I also called them a couple times the day before the event as well as the day of the event, no answer. On the day of the event, the venue ended up having a concert that ran late and instead of the 11pm entry time he briefly mentioned, they changed it to 12am. My group did not know that after arriving at 11pm. We waited 30 minutes and then ended up going to a different club instead. I've had much better bottle service experience elsewhere. Waste of time and would definitely not recommend.

Jeff was always available via email and text to answer my questions and help me decide where a good place for 14 people would be. With that many people, you need a place to call your home base. and a home base at a club means buying bottles. Everyone in my party was able to skip the line and get in for free- and we ended up getting buy 2 bottles get 1 free which was the perfect amount of alcohol for the night for myself and all my friends. Although the booth space Hudson Terrace gives you is small, Jeff put us at the end so my friends had room to stand around on the side. This was a fantastic birthday and I would definitely recommend Book My Birthday because they will really work with you regarding what you are looking for.

This is a company that puts on a variety of puppet shows through out the year. We just saw "The…read moreWizard Of OZ," and my family had a great time. As soon as you enter the theatre a couple of the Marionette puppeteers greets the audience/kids with some puppets while everyone is finding their seats. The kids are encouraged to sit on the floor to watch the show on the puppet stage. The Wizard of OZ was great. It is not the complete story you would see as in the movies, as there is no visual effects and time constraints. It's a concise adaptation and everything is left to your imagination. It's definitely a great experience to go do with your kids. It's very affordable and your kids will have fun! The puppeteers are great as they are very friendly and interactive with the kids before and after the show. After the show, the kids can walk up to the small stage and touch the puppets and the puppeteers will answer questions and show how some of the puppets work. You can buy puppets there from finger puppets to the larger Marionette puppets. It's recommended you call to reserve tickets rather than just show up because it's a very small theatre. There is ample free street parking. They have shows in the 1st and 4th Sunday's of the month. Occasionally they will have weekday showings. They are great at responding to my emailed questions.
