    Breakfast Pizza
    Lindsey A.

    If you're looking for the ultimate Jersey Shore brunch spot, Spring Lake Taphouse is one you'll definitely want on your list. Would you believe you can get 90 minutes of unlimited brunch cocktails and a full entrée for just $45/person? Yup!! Go with the Boozy Brunch where you can get unlimited brunch cocktails (pick one drink) and an entree per person (everyone at your table must participate). We went with classic mimosas for our drinks. Very nice to sip on as we hung out on their spacious back patio. For entrées, we tried the build your own omelette -- light and fluffy -- and their breakfast pizza, which hits that perfect balance of cheesy, savory brunch vibes and lots of meat (pork roll, sausage and bacon). The crust was nice and crispy! Then came the showstopper -- the pancake board!! A dozen mini pancakes with bacon, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit -- basically brunch heaven on one platter. This serves about 2-3 people and awesome to share. And for the most relatable dish on the menu? The 'My GF Isn't Hungry' board -- every kind of fry you can think of, with delicious house-made dipping sauces. Another awesome board for sharing which you can pick on all brunch long. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat out back on their patio -- tons of seating, couches, cornhole, and yes, you can even bring your dog. It's laid-back, fun, and perfect for a weekend hangout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is very friendly and attentive and we had a great time! I would definitely return for brunch again.

    If you're looking for it... this is is:) really good "bar food" selection and you can't beat "game day." Service is great, beer is cold and food is darn good. Shared quite a few appys and the burgers are .

    A friend of mine and I got together for lunch. When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked in and was greeted and was sat by the hostess. Cole was our server and he was great! We ordered: Espresso Martini Steak & Eggs Build your own Omlette with steak and spinach Grilled chicken wrap sea shore lettuce wrap I love the martini and the lettuce wraps! All in all it was a good experience!

    SPRING LAKE HEIGHTS: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spring Lake Tap House is a sports bar with an outdoor patio that allows leashed and friendly dogs![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dogs are welcome as long as the outdoor section is open and every Thursday from 5-7pm there is a special Paw-ty Hour where proceeds from their Pup-Tails menu benefit Marty's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary. They also have a dog menu on these special nights and your pup can get an appetizer, entree, and even dessert. The menu for pup parents is tavern-style and they have a fantastic Tap House Burger where you pick your patty and cheese for $7. Additional add ons are extra. We had the pretzel sticks appetizer and it was one of the best soft pretzels we have ever had. There are specials every day of the week and is a popular spot with locals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating has picnic tables with umbrellas and fills up fast when the weather is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saturday brunch at Spring Lake Taphouse is a must if you love good vibes, great food, and endless drinks![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For $40, you get 90 minutes of unlimited brunch cocktails, plus a menu full of delicious eats. I went for nonstop mimosas, a protein-packed steak and eggs, fluffy French toast, and their famous breakfast pizza--because why choose just one? [[HIGHLIGHT]]With a DJ setting the mood and cozy rustic vibes, it's the ultimate way to kick off your weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And since it's bottomless... you know I made the most of it!

    Specialty Drink Menu

    I visited your establishment with my husband after a gala, dressed for a night out and looking forward to enjoying a few drinks and some bingo. My husband ordered a beer, and I ordered the Nutcracker Old Fashioned---your specialty drink that specifically lists Angel's Envy. However, the bartender, Patrick, made the drink using a different, lower-tier bourbon without informing me or asking whether a substitute was acceptable. When I realized the drink was mine and questioned the change, he immediately became combative, stating with attitude that it was the only bourbon available after a busy weekend. I explained that regardless of inventory, substitutions must be confirmed with the customer. He then grabbed the drink off the bar and said, "Fine, you want something else?" At that point, I no longer wanted him to make anything for me. The bottom line is simple: alcohol should never be switched without asking, and his attitude made the situation unnecessarily unpleasant. It probabl doesn't matter, but I won't return.

    Despite some of the poor reviews about service, I think the Spring Lake Tap House is really trying to turn things around - they sat us right away (even without the whole party being there), our waitress was attentive and apologetic when drinks took a little while to come out, and food came relatively quickly. They have a decently sized beer list with mostly local beers (but wish they had the prices of the beer on the menu), and basically everything you expect to see on a tap house menu. We had the pretzel sticks and sweet potato skins to start; both were really good. My friend got the BYO burger which looked pretty good; although the starting price of $7 is appealing, everything else is an added price - even lettuce and tomato. The Drunken Pizza with vodka sauce and chicken had good flavor; three of us shared the large pie and still had leftovers.

    We had a really nice brunch here and are looking forward to returning for dinner soon. Our server was attentive and sweet but unfortunately it took forever for our food to be served. When it did, it was delicious. We're hoping this was just a one-off timing issue. We liked the vibe of the place and the rest of the menu looks really good! Highly recommend their Bloody Marys!!

The signature drinks were awesome (I had the banana-rama an interesting take on an old fashion). Our waiter Pete was attentive, informative and professional while not rushing us or being intrusive. The food was very good. We shared the Olea Board for our party of 4 and it was a perfect amount and variety of food! The churros for dessert were excellent and should not be missed. The only negative was that we waited more than 30 minutes from our reservation time to be seated. While the manager was apologetic, they couldn't do much to get us seated sooner. He did tell us that our first round of drinks would be on the house. When we let Pete know when he brought the check, he adjusted it immediately. We will definitely be back!

When it was sold and opened as Olea, my friend and I waited until yesterday, Saturday, to try it. First, we were impressed with the outside entrance-way. Nicely decorated! The inside lobby area was okay; just very busy and a bit noisy with the bar but we had reservations for 5:30 on a weekend summer evening, so that's actually a good sign. We were seated right away in what they call the lounge. Don't let that fool you. It's made for a more intimate dining experience with tables for two or four. (The main dining room is more noisy, large, and great for parties of five or more.) The waiter (Sean?) was very attentive but not overly so, and that was great. In fact, it seemed that all the servers were attentive and made each individual table feel welcome. The menu is varied and the prices are actually reasonable for the quality. A wonderful crusty bread with a shaved cheese topping, olives, and a light olive oil was at our table right away. Which brings me to what we ordered. I had the prime filet which was buttery tender and cooked perfectly, my friend had the wagyu skirt steak which was also very good and had a lot of flavor. We shared the crispy potatoes, which was more than enough for both of us. Order those--they were delicious! We had the tiramisu which was a bit different from what we were used to, but it was still good and very filling, even though we shared. We each had a glass of wine with our meal, and coffee with dessert, and that all came out at appropriate times. As I said, the servers are very attentive and the kitchen has the food timed perfectly, which is hard to do on a busy weekend night in the summer. Edited to add: this is an upscale dining experience so business casual. We are definitely returning to Olea soon!

    Part One: Sunday This review is for two different visits…read morethis past week. One was for this past Sunday. We had Randi as our server and as first time visitors to this Sea Girt location, she helped us get acquainted with the menu and the restaurant as a whole. We were scouting it out for the following day to watch the Knicks Finals game. The restaurant is loaded with screens! They have larger screens on the wall and smaller ones all next to each other above the bar. And they pipe in the game sound once the game starts! So all boxes were checked off for us. We also had a delicious lunch. I had the Apple Salad with grilled chicken. It was fresh as could be, huge and so delicious. One of the best salads I have had in a long time. My husband was just as happy with his Caesar Salad and hamburger patty. He raved about the hamburger meat and we both ate every morsel of our meal. A great location as we just had left the beach and were starving! Randi's service was top notch and she is super nice and friendly. Matt, the Manager also stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was OK, which was great to see. Part Two: Monday The next day, we watched game 3 of the NBA Finals at Tommy's. Now we're already starting to become regulars! We had Julian as our server. Another great Tommy's employee! Turns out he went to high school with our son! Small world. It was our first time watching a game at the restaurant. We had a huge booth and plenty of room. It was drink special night on Monday, so we got 1/2 price specialty cocktails, which was nice. We ordered bar food this time - - wings, brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and margarita pizza, all of which were very good. Very impressed with the wings, that are baked and come with onions and peppers on top. Julian kept our glasses and bellies filled and, even though the Knicks lost, we had an amazing time at Tommy's for the game. Thank you Randi, Julian & Matt for a great week at Tommy's. We will be back soon.

The servers were very helpful and friendly, they guided me through all my questions about menu choices. The food was amazing, there was nothing that we ordered that we all didn't love from the Brussels sprout appetizer to a nicely done Cubano sandwich. I understand why it's a local favorite.

Its on the water, so we waited for an outside table. We only waited about 25 mins on a very busy night (we were quoted 45) which I was pleased by. The tuna nachos were my favorite bite of the night. The plate was giant to share and the flavors were delicious. I got the shrimp and lobster pasta and if you are considering that, I would pass. The shrimp had a funny, almost lemon essense flavor. The lobster was tasty (can't really mess up lobster). The pasta however was mucky in my opinion. The pasta itself was broken so it wasn't easy to twirl and the flavor was just very bland. My friends got the salmon and the shrimp. Both looked delicious. I do have to mention that we did love that the entrees came with a side salad. Overall it was a lovely spot. Absolutely beautiful there. Hang at the outside bar as you wait for your table!

I have no idea what changes might be made, but I will update this review accordingly when I go back. For now, I will add back on a star for their courtesy to me. I hope to be back this summer. I wanted to give this place 5 stars but I cannot. Went recently with my bestie for some post-beach oysters, drinks and snacks. I should have been suspicious when I ordered a glass of prosecco at the bar and it was just super cheap tasting. It was only $10 so I guess you get what you pay for. There was also a gross dirty napkin just sitting on the bar that was not attended to. At the table, I ordered their peach spritz. It was not spritzy and light as one would hope. It was extremely sweet and gloopy with syrup. Not refreshing. My friend had the strawberry mocktail and had to send it back due to its unpleasant taste. The waitress was pleasant and just took it off our bill. We ordered a dozen oysters. These oysters tasted flat like old gray dishwater. I think maybe the kitchen didn't bother to spot check quality. I think these were Blue Points, but they tasted like wet bathroom slippers. Next we had the clams. These were actually very good, but after the oysters, I was expecting very little. We then tried the crab cocktail. For $30, it was 3 tablespoons of crab on garnish lettuce. The crab was just so so, a bit dry, and totally not worth $30. We both decided to try the lobster bisque. They overloaded it with heavy cream. But the worst part was the garlic bread on top. Hard, chewy and clearly STALE. For the price and low quality, Marina Grille should be ashamed of themselves.

Now this is not a typical restaurant since the place is really a party venue. They open the Grille on selected days and you have to call ahead to find out whether the Grille is open that day. We walked in and there was only one other couple in the room which is really the bar and a number of tables they must use for cocktails before larger functions begin. A family was celebrating one of its members' birthday we thought.There was also a good singer working the room that night. He could do Billy Joel to Elvis and played the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. He was right behind us and think it bothered him more about how close he was, but it wasn't an issue. He wanted requests and he got a few. The food was good but pricey. Dinner for two was for $125 including tip. There was an event in a larger room which our server was also working. We lost her at the end which extended our stay unnecessarily for another half hour.
