The inside was decorated with very eccentric designs and bright colors that catch the eye. Ambiance rate 7/10. My boyfriend and I ordered... 1. Medium Cup of Ice cream: This included one scoop of "vanilla/peanut butter" ice cream, and "rich and famous (Vanilla Ice Cream, chunks of brownie, Cookie Dough & Chocolate Swirl)." I also added peanut butter sauce and cookie dough bites. Both ice cream flavors had good flavor to them, and it had a generous amount of toppings. Rate 8.5/10. 2. The Coney Waffle: This included 3 scoops of ice cream in their signature coney waffle cone shaped into a taco. It had a scoop of cannoli, "rich and famous," and "the king (peanut butter banana)." Each ice cream flavor was yummy. However, the waffle cone was mediocre. Rate 8/10. 3. Red Velvet Cookie: This half pound cookie had a super sweet chocolate flavor to it, not so much red velvet. However, it was still good to eat. Rate 7/10. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Overall, this dessert shop on the boardwalk is a good place to check out if you're in the area!

Okay experience. Upon arriving we were met with a friendly but a bit frantic hostess. The place was…read moreby no means busy and she was acting as though they were swamped. Once we sat down our server arrived who seemed less than pleased to be serving us, he was nice enough but barley spoke with us and seemed to not want to be there. For food I had the Mediterranean omelette which truthfully was not very good, it was borderline flavorless. Additionally our server barley checked in with us. Ambiance is fine, its your typical casual brunch spot - don't expect anyone dressed well or an elevated experience. I definitely don't think this was the best showcase of Toast as I have heard great things so they may have just been having an off day. I would definitely give it another shot.

I was headed somewhere else and saw this place and decided to stop. From the outside it looks super…read morecute. Like a cafe with great food that you'd want to make a regular on your list. Inside, it looked pretty much the same. I soon found out how deceiving looks can be. The menu is simple and boast of being locally supplied. When I asked what fruit came in the fruit bowl, I was told they didn't have fruit. I ordered the fish n chips with grits instead of fries. The young man said they didn't have grits. Ok...fries it is. He soon returned and said they didn't have fish or fries. After the 3rd time of them telling me they didn't have what I wanted to order, I ordered a salad. Chicken Cesar to be exact. When he came back again, I almost walked out. But he just wanted to know if I wanted grilled or crispy chicken. I told him whichever one they had at this point. He brought grilled. The salad was nothing to write home to momma about. The lettuce was wet. The chicken was cut into little cubes. It was hard to tellthe difference between the chicken and bagged croutons placed on Mr salad. The parmesan was the shaker kind...like you would put on a pizza. I was more than a little disappointed with my lunch. Now, gave this place 2 stars for a few reasons. 1. It appears to be a relatively new establishment. 2. It was run by young ppl. No employee there looked to be old enough to drink. More like they should have been in 5 period English class. But instead they were here, serving me and staying out of trouble. I won't be back during my visit here. But I honestly wish them the best in their future.

Our party of four met here for a kosher dairy lunch. The place is nice with plenty of seating and…read morethe staff is attentive and helpful. We ordered a Fettuccine Alfredo, a truffle grilled cheese, a blackened salmon sandwich and an eggplant Parmesan on a bed of pasta. We heard their pizza is good, but we weren't in the mood for pizza. The fettuccine was nice as was the truffle grilled cheese. I was told the blackened salmon was missing that little bit of spice usually found with a blackened dish. The eggplant Parmesan contained ricotta cheese between the slices which we were okay with, but the eggplant breading was a little overdone. For us, this place seems hit or miss and we're thinking we should have tried the pizza since that was a more popular dish. Maybe we'll get back there to try the pizza.

If you're going for kosher dairy food in Lakewood, this place is probably one of two good places in…read morethe area. Difference here is that these guys know dough and pizza, which means their pizzas (and dessert calzones) will be great. We went on a busy weekend and they had both indoor and outdoor seating. Pizzas were great, and some very funky. There's one with onion rings and bbq sauce, another with mini mozzarella sticks (which is basically just cheese on cheese), and more with roasted cauliflower or broccoli under some more cheese. My advice here is really to try and stick with the stuff with tomato sauce. Would be nice if they incorporated arugula or truffle like some of the more modern NYC Italian restaurants do. Appetizers is where it's at. We didn't try fries, but we did try the tuna tostadas (fish seemed pretty fresh and it was kind of like a crunchy rice), and the nachos (really good and cheesy). This place probably ain't a great idea if you're lactose intolerant. For dessert you definitely want to try the nutella/oreo calzone. Save room. Some minor issues I had was that the service was pretty lacking. Waiters didn't care to properly serve customers and seemed to have an impatient attitude. People that came to bring extra utensils didn't take back our dirty dishes, and for the second half of the meal our table was full of dirty plates. Also the bathroom was used as storage for other stuff, was not clean, and the camera to flush the toilet didn't work. They should put some more money into the staff, clean bathrooms a bit better, and maybe install camera systems for better management. Just my two cents.

The Asbury Lanes Diner was attached to the bowling alley and adjacent to The Asbury hotel. The…read morediner was super kitschy and transported you to the 1950's, but it was also very tiny and had an extremely limited menu. Between the old-timey decor and near empty dining area, it felt a bit Twilight Zone-ish. Despite the odd atmosphere and basic menu options, our server was a sweetheart, and the food was delicious. I got the Asbury Platter, which included two eggs my way (scrambled egg whites), my choice of breakfast meat (crispy bacon that I gave to my friend), home fries, and my preference of toast (whole wheat). As I mentioned, there was nothing special about these items, but the eggs and potatoes were perfectly seasoned and served in the ideal portion size. I also had ordered a mug of coffee, which was super weak and watery. I would definitely recommend skipping that and getting a brew from an actual coffeeshop instead. The Asbury Diner worked for a quick breakfast and would be a decent option for quick and greasy fare, but I would not make it a planned destination.
