We ordered fairly simple bar food--a salad, a BLT, and fish and chips--and waited nearly an hour for our meals. It took more than 30 minutes after ordering for our waitress to stop by and acknowledge the delay. She apologized and said the food should be out soon, but walked away without addressing our empty water glasses. She later came back again with the same update, and we still had no food. When the food finally arrived, the fish and chips were not hot. After bringing it to our waitress's attention, she questioned whether it was actually cold rather than offering a solution. To make matters worse, we later overheard her talking about our complaint to others. To be fair, the food itself tasted pretty good. However, it wasn't exceptional enough to justify waiting almost an hour, especially given the lack of attentive service and how concerns were handled. The restaurant has potential, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

Our server, Alexandra, was simply superb so wanted to give credit where credit is due. Any great restaurant should have their very own version of Alexandra. I hope management gives her a shout out during one of the staff meetings. I guess you can overlook marginal food when the service and view are simply fabulous.

Asbury Park is a queer enclave and Beach Bar is an enclave within the enclave. AKA I had the best time and the vibes were high. Prices here are also really high for bottled margarita mix and flavor mixes that one could grab at the liquor store for $6. Bar staff was really kind, but the prices and the bathroom situation are reason enough to dock a star. They will have two rotating frozen drinks and then a full bar of other fun options. Overall a really fun vibe and SO glad we had the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day here with views of the beach.

We got the doggy chicken with the side of mashed potatoes and the pup cup for dessert. She dogged the chicken and mashed potatoes, but unfortunately wasn't too into the pup cup (which is a shame because it's so cute, but maybe she was full!) Now for the humans -- we ordered the sweet chili wings and a side of the sweet potato fries. The wings also come with a side of carrots and celery along with a choice of ranch or bleu cheese. I loved the sweet chili sauce and kept redipping into it. I wish the order came with more celery and carrots. The food and beers/cider came out rather quickly. The server came by every so often to check up on us and brought napkins without us having to ask! The dessert was amazing; the combination of the ice cream and the ooey gooey-ness of the cookie was the perfect end to our beach day. We barely left any whip cream. Since we went during LDW, the vibe inside was almost opposite what it was outside. But that may carry over during other times. Only downside of this visit was the wait time to be seated...and it was not because there weren't seats available. It was a bit strange standing around while the host wasn't really doing anything :/ But everything else was great!

My brother went with a salad and couldn't stop talking about how outstanding it was, which says a lot. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service. If you're in Asbury Park, I highly recommend stopping by Kim Marie's. We'll definitely be back.

LATE NIGHT STOP!! Work compete, hungry, need to relax…read morebefore heading back to MD. Found this spot open with a late night bar and grill. Now what I will say is make sure you have your cash ready this is a cash only establishment which is not bad at all what you saw as a price is what you paid. Plus the specials that they had were cash only as well and they were worth the bucks. Nothing was too expensive great pricing I don't think I saw anything over $20. Plenty of drink options in the best little glasses that are complimentary of Ball, if you are familiar. As we arrive we met this really nice security guy super cool even came to check in on us at some point through the night an amazing bartender super cool great conversation great tattoos. Sorry I was tired so I didn't get a name but when you see him you will know it. So we did a little late night dipping and dabbing just got something light sweet chili wings perfectly cooked perfect flavor and adjust the right amount of sauce with the freshest celery and carrots! My partner was looking for something heavy so he indulged in the burger and the sweet tater w Pico queso. Delicious .. We remember seeing this place over the summer and all we remembered was a lot of people standing outside so we didn't realize what the bar was but this weekend we stopped in and were pleasantly surprised we will definitely be back and looking forward to it!

The service was prompt and attentive, though it did feel a bit rushed at times, as if they were trying to move things along quickly.

Even a small selection of bites would complement the drinks and encourage guests to stay longer. Overall, it's a solid spot with great potential, especially if they expand the offerings beyond cocktails.

Such a sweet deal. The bartenders were all super friendly, and since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside. There was so much going on--games, music, TVs--it really felt like a fun, lively spot. I can only imagine how much more energy the place has on a weekend night or on St. Patty's Day! Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and are definitely looking forward to going back!

Freshly made dough with good flavor, a crisp crust and cheesy goodness.. The que went pretty quick when we went, but I can imagine it gets packed! Indoor and outdoor seating available. I would definitely recommend this place. It's not only smart business, it's extremely responsible. Rather than just pumping you full of alcohol, they're feeding you on their own dime. 100% approve of this place!

The building is in the National Historic Registry. (Cool Ambiance) This Ale House is humongous with at least two to three bars. The interior was really colorful with upbeat wall to wall murals. In addition, you'll see some cool stuff like an old-fashioned telephone booth and signage. For fun, there's a small arcade area with timed basketball and air hockey in one area of the ale house. (Service & Food) Natasha was our wonderful and caring server. A bottle of cold water and glasses w/ice were brought to the table. We ordered soft drinks to start out. For lunch, we ordered a Grilled Chicken Avocado BLT and a Caprese Sandwich. Both sandwiches had wonderful fresh ingredients. Each platter came with a small air fryer container of spicy chips. The bacon on my sandwich was nice and crispy. Just the way I like it. : D The manager Nicole came to check in on our table along with others. We told her everything was great. Definitely recommend Asbury Ale House. In regards to parking, we parked on the street and used the mobile app. It was a weekday and street parking was tricky. Can't even imagine parking on the weekends.

We…read morewere seated in the very back and on the opposite side, away from the other patrons, which was great but it also felt as though we did not receive enough service due to being away from everyone else. The food didn't take too long to come out and the portions were good but the taste was just okay. We did experience a couple missing items (side of avocado and chimichurri) and brought this to the server's attention. For the chimichurri, we were told that it didn't come with the steak because they didn't have it anymore so they didn't include it in our meal. We should have been told this before the food came out or even right after it was set on the table. We were offered a replacement sauce (pico de gallo) just to find out that it cost extra and had to explain that it should be free as a replacement to the chimichurri. The manager was able to comp the pico and apologized. At the end of the meal, I was also surprised to not receive any acknowledgement that I was celebrating my birthday (which I marked on the reservation). Once I received the receipt, I noticed that we were also charged extra for the missing side of avocado and an extra sauce. This was not disclosed to us prior. I can see why this place would be popular due to the atmosphere but the food and service here would not have me coming back.

Saw a 1 star review saying "one and done" , "dessert was good", "all atmosphere", "just okay"…read more As much as I disagree with that assessment and personally feel that Pascal and Sabine is way better than "just okay"... that review should not equal 1 star. You're only review, you've only been once and decide to go onto a public forum and give 1 star. Anyway off my soapbox. Pascal and Sabine not only has some of the best cocktails and bartenders in Asbury but possibly NJ. I have been countless times with my wife, my kids, large groups you name it. My favorite way to experience Pascal is to sit at the bar get a couple cocktails (The Jackal is a staple), the Madame Smith Burger (my wife gets the Mr Smith) the fries are amazing, and maybe the escargot and just enjoy. It's up there with some of the most perfect nights out in Asbury you can have. Hope this 5 star review balance out a ridiculous 1 star review. - YH

This place is a standout…read more I came with my mom during happy hour and everything from beginning to end was excellent. Lovely hostess, great round bar seating with huge windows for people watching, and a genuinely charming and attentive bartender (Mike). We started with oysters from Newfoundland and cheese off the happy hour menu -- both great. My mom loved her lavender French 75 (a drink special), and my white wine was perfect (the name escapes me at the moment). The garlic soup deserves awards. I first had it two summers ago and still think about it -- I made my mom try it and she immediately understood my rave reviews. For entrées, her burger was cooked perfectly medium-rare, and my fish & chips absolutely hit the spot. Both came with generous portions of house-made fries and an unexpectedly addictive house honey-mustard. We had enough fries for leftovers, and I even asked for extra mustard to take home. Food, service, atmosphere, lighting, noise level -- all dialed in. A 10/10 experience!
