    Great space excellent food and drink. Very nice staff and attentive service. Meeting up with buddies to see the Gregg Allman documentary at Monmouth Mall. Really nice vibe and terrific menu. We shared a clams casino and they came over the salad of arugula in a mustard dressing that was awesome. Going back again. Loved this place. Photo of an Espresso Martini NICE

    A must try! Delicious food and atmosphere. Great entertainment and drinks. The Squire offers happy hour and dinner specials and also has a Photo Booth to make the experience memorable. They have thought everything through! It will be you new favorite restaurant that will have you coming back for more!

    The Squire was much better than I anticipated. I admittedly felt out of place since I was dressed particularly casual. It was fancier than I was expecting. I'll pack a shirt with a collar next time I'm in town. The food was amazing! My son and I each got different rigatoni dishes. The flavor was rich and the portions were generous. The care placed in the order was apparent. Cory was our server and he did a wonderful job.

    Came here for a private event and loved the atmosphere! For the private event, they were able to give us a dedicated section which included a nicely arranged table with decor (seats about 20 people). There was also a TV if you wanted to play a slideshow or watch anything in particular. This had a pre-set menu, I got the spicy rigatoni which was delicious! Perfectly al dente. Would come back again

    What a fantastic night at The Squire in West Long Branch! We went for their Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin impersonator night, and it was such a fun experience--the energy was high, the house was packed, and it truly felt like dinner and a show. The food was excellent across the board, perfectly prepared and really hit the spot. On top of that, our server Jackie was amazing--attentive, friendly, and on point all night, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for great food, great service, and a fun night out with entertainment, this is it. Can't wait to come back for another one of these nights!

    I am so happy that i found this spot Spent the day @ the beach with my wife for our 22nd wedding anniversary & we decided for dinner nearby. 1- the location was perfect, no issues parking, no issues with other businesses 2- ambiance was beautiful & the resteraunt inside and out looks amazing. 3- From making the reservation to walking in the door, the staff was on point. Kind, courteous, friendly, attentive, not overbearing We had breanna as a server, she was on point, very personable and well versed on all they had to offer. Her spirit brought such an airy feeling to our whole experience. Once she found out it was our anniversary, she congratulated us, she took pics for us & made us feel special. We met a few others while there who were just a pleasure to deal with. One of the staff named Jesus was in front lobby area and we struck up a convo that was pleasurable and made an impact on us. 4- lets get to the food, everything from the home made mozz sticks, to the spicy rigatoni was on point!!! My wife had salmon over salad & said the salad and dressing was so tasty and the Salmon was cooked to perfection. The presentation of all the food was beautiful very well done. The portions were not small but not overwhelming either. We enjoyed the food and were able to have dessert. Now the dessert was BOMB, lava cake and creme brulee. We really appreciated that they took the time to decorate it and make our anniversary dessert extra special. 5 Star service all around. Fresh, warm, delicious!! We can not wait to return!!

    Jersey shore restaurant week menu

    I visited The Squire during Jersey shore restaurant week for the $42 dinner special. The restaurant is beautiful including a lovely bar with a happy hour and live music. The service is outstanding, several waiters, runners, and bussers taking care of diners. The food is ok, a 50/50 split between highs and lows. The mozzarellas sticks were solid, the baked clams were disappointing. Fresh clams but the breadcrumbs didn't have a lot of flavor. The Chicken parmigiana was very good, large portion and seasoned well. The pasta that accompanied the chicken was overdone. The lava cake was not great, seemed like something I would get frozen at Costco, the ice cream that accompanied the lava cake was fantastic. I will definitely return for happy hour.

    I know I've already left a review for Ember & Eagle, but I had to come back and say--every visit…read moresomehow tops the last. This place consistently knocks it out of the park with service, food, and atmosphere. Ryan behind the bar is a standout. He treats us like regulars from day one--always greeting us with a smile and delivering truly top-tier service. He's a big part of what makes the whole experience feel so warm and welcoming. And the food? Never the same experience twice in the best way possible. The menu and specials are always evolving, always leveling up, and it keeps things exciting every time we come back. Not once have we been disappointed. Everyone can have an off night--but this place seems to have cracked the code on consistency and excellence. Honestly, you could throw a dart at the menu and still walk away impressed. Already looking forward to the next visit!

    Food and atmosphere was good (though indoors I won't say it was anything extraordinary). If you're…read morea foodie, there is better, but for NJ cuisine, it's standard for "high end" What was disappointing to me was: the fact that I was there enjoying a nice steak dinner with colleagues, and I was saving half of my steak for my husband to take home. It had a side of roasted elephant garlic, which my husband absolutely loves, so I couldn't NOT save it for him.But the thing is, they took it away without asking me if I wanted to pack it or not. And I brought this up, not once, not twice but -- 3 times-- with the wait staff. When I asked one of the waiters what the manager said, He replied " I'm not going to lie, I don't remember" Before I left, I asked my server if I could speak to the manager-- The manager finally met with me. He said that he was "trying to find you to give you my card" because "he did hear about the incident and he feels really bad." Mind you, even after I spoke to the first person about this incident, we were there for close to another 30 minutes (at least). Sitting at our table, having dessert and drinks . No one came back to address the situation, no one offered to make another plate of food for my husband to make up for the food they accidentally threw away. He offered his card, but I declined because I will not be going back. Honestly, poor service and optics for a high-end restaurant, at best. If you're used to high-end haute cuisine and have an eclectic palette, I'd skip this restaurant. If you want "the usual" nice-enough restaurant with good with a decent-enough ambience-- this is a good-enough place. For me, a place like that-- with "standard fare" cuisine, should have above average service. That's where they fell short.

They come with whipped ricotta and crostini. Each bite was nice and tender, super savory and melt in your mouth. Their honey mustard chicken wrap was a perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. With the different textures, it gave a nice crunch. Perfect item for takeout for a work lunch! Peel is always creating speciality pizzas to try, so we tried the Bombshell pizza (April 2025)! This lives up to its name - it is fiery, oozing with passion, and an explosion of bold toppings (fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, Calabrian chili, hot cherry peppers). And of course, you can never go wrong with the vodka rigatoni. Their pasta was al Dente and the sauce was rich and creamy with just the right amount of heat. So comforting and irresistibly satisfying! We polished off the night with a yummy little brownie sundae. This satisfied our sweet tooth and was the perfect serving size after indulging in all these carbs. Peel is the ultimate comfort food spot. Whether you're dining in or taking it to go, this is a must try spot down the shore!

Their counter slice selection is always changing and very creative exploring various combinations even including pickles or jersey corn and both were sooo good. They offer pastas and create your own pizzas as well. They have different nightly specials including half off dine menu. Keep in mind sometimes it looks closed from the outside due to some sort of film covering the window cause of the direct western sun.
