Excellent food ... super quality and very nice sized portions. Priced appropriately. Service was great and the atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. The entire staff was exceptionally responsive, friendly and capable. We were there when they had a singer/guitarist which made the evening even more enjoyable. Will absolutely return... many times for sure! read more

Expensive main menu and very disappointed with my meal, Pan seared Red Snapper. Positive friendly staff, nice ambiance and bar area.

I had the best experience at the Squire! I was so impressed with the service, drinks, and the 2 pound lobster that I enjoyed immensely. The espresso martini blew my mind with the stencil pattern on top of the foam - so impressive. The entertainment was one of a kind also - Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin ..I felt like I was living in another era. I will definitely be back thank you very much for the experience.' #TheSquirenj #buzzybooth read more

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 read more

Great menu with lots of options and fantastic service. Our waiter Corey was excellent, friendly, fun, engaging and very knowledgeable about the menu. They have a massive parking lot and outside the entrance to the restaurant is a nice garden area with a fountain. I think they likely do alot of private events. The restaurant itself is one large room, it looks modern and sleek with really nice new bathrooms when you walk in. The food was very good and the portions were generous. They bring focaccia to the table with olive oil and butter. The focaccia was a little dry, but I am not complaining about free bread. For starters we tried the napolitano flatbread, shrimp scampi (is an entree but we shared it as an app) and eggplant napolitano. Others got the mezze plate, clams oregonata and fig and goat cheese flatbread and loved them all. The napolitano flatbread was very tasty, similar to a pizza. I hate when flatbreads have a thin crust like a cracker and this was the opposite, thick and fluffy. It was fairly large (cut into 6-7 pieces and about a foot long). The shrimp scampi was delicious with 5 large shrimp cooked perfectly. You could not ask for better shrimp and the sauce was divine. We also enjoyed the eggplant napolitano, it was basically eggplant parmigiano (3 large pieces of fried eggplant with cheese in tomato sauce). For entrees we ordered the halibut and twin lobster tails. The halibut and lobster, like the shrimp, were both cooked perfectly and had lovely texture. I liked the parmesan crust on the halibut and the risotto was pleasant (I am just not super into risotto as I think it gets old after a few bites). You can have the lobster steamed or broiled and we went with Corey's recommend of broiled as it comes seasoned and he was spot on. Even without the butter (they put a bowl on the side so you can dip the lobster in it) the lobster had great flavor. For dessert we ordered the fresh apple crumb pie but it was more of an tart. Those we ate it enjoyed it, but said they would not feel the need to order it again. Overall a really nice meal if you find yourself in the area. read more

Impressive dining room meticulously decorated for Valentine's Day. Went there the weekend before and ordered the pork chop- perfectly cooked. My partner had a pasta dish and said it was delicious. After dinner we listened to a singer in the corner and chatted up the locals. Nice bar, friendly bartenders. Would def go again. Especially to see the Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin show. read more

I was invited to a party at The Squire and to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. The food was fabulous, the atmosphere and staff were absolutely amazing! Debbie their event person came over introduced herself, asked how we were if we needed anything that was very impressive. I liked it so much, I am booking my daughter's bridal shower at The Squire at Branches! A great first impression is crucial in the restaurant business, this establishment exceeded my expectations. read more

This is our second time here, and it was sooooo good again. The server (? Connor) was super , the food was delicious, the ambience really pretty and the music was a major bonus. read 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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

I attended a dining-out event at The Squire. IMPRESSIVE! The ambiance inside is welcoming and classy, with a beautiful patio outside. The food was fantastic! The appetizers were delicious; the chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and the beef cut with a fork. I also sampled baby lamb chops and the crab-stuffed shrimp- EXCELLENT! The staff was welcoming and attentive; I hate dirty plates in front of me at a nice restaurant, and they did not disappoint. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner, a nice, down-to-earth guy. Truly cares about his customers and staff. I will be back! read more

Food is always great. Stuffed shrimp and halibut with risotto are 2 fav #TheSquirenj #buzzybooth

Maybe we were there on an off Saturday night, but I cannot understand what the rave reviews were based on. At our table of seven, there was one "very good," two "OKs" and the rest below that. The medium-rare steak came out medium-well, there were cold meatballs above the over-cooked pasta, and very small clams on the pasta with a tasteless olive oil wine sauce. Service was glacial. read more

The food service n entertainment is always a plus. Faye the manager always stops by to say hi. Always moving furniture to accommodate everyone. Charlie makes the best drinks. Corry and an Ashley always stop by to say hi even if they're not our servers. And now to the lobster special this summer yummy x 2. The chef really knows how to cook them I hate when j get lobster and it's filled w water n white glob this was so tasty n tender you gotta try it. Thanks guys for always showing us s good time. read more

Atmosphere is nice and somewhat classic. Large bar. Drinks arrived promptly and were v good. Bread w butter was also enjoyable. Apps of Caesars salad and fried Calamari were very good. Nice size portions as well. Entrees of Pork Chop was delicious and tender. Penne Vodka was not good- tasted like plain tomato sauce. Portions were both nice size. Service was adequate and more than enough busboys running around. Will probably be back for Prime Rib it looked amazing. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Pleasantly surprised and the service was excellent. Salad was very well done, the romaine was all the good parts. It was well dressed. The croutons were actually not hard as rocks and tasty. The fries were amazing. They must change the oil frequently. The burger was delicious. The cheese was melty and the bun was fresh and soft. It was a little over the top because they were having a birthday event and the menu was limited. I sat at the bar and the two bar keeps were really nice. read more

Came for the first time today for lunch. Sat at the bar. Charles, our bartender was great!! Friendly and welcoming, and makes an incredible espresso martini! I got a burger and husband got the bar pie. He's really picky about his pizza and loved it! I've not had luck finding a good burger in the area...till now!! Perfectly cooked and juicy. Already made reservations for our anniversary on the 16th in the hopes of catching the Frank and Dean show!! Can't wait! read more

Food overall was above average. Onion soup very good, pork chop very good, stuffed shrimp very good but risotto it was served on was lukewarm. Spicy rigatoni came out cold (room temp) and without sausage we requested. Other than forgetting the sausage the service was very good. Desserts excellent. We were happy to sit near a gas fireplace which gave a cozy feel - but only kind of, as there were barely any fake flames, which was kinda weird. Undecided if the prices are warranted - we'll probably give it another try at some point. read more

Regarding ambience, service and food, I agree with many of the statements below: The Squire provides a rewarding dining experience. To that I would like to add a personal note. My friends and I chose to celebrate Easter Sunday at The Squire this year, and had just ordered our dinner. Suddenly, I began to feel ill and tried to find a gracious way to leave. Before I knew it, the restaurant staff was at my side, calling 911 and first responders to the restaurant. I was so grateful for the caring assistance of the staff, in particular the manager, Faye Basile, who treated me as she would have treated a member of her family, during an awkward and frightening moment. When it was time for me to be taken to the hospital, I had relaxed enough to allow the paramedics to give me the treatment that I needed. I will continue to return to The Squire with gratitude, as much for their caring service as for their excellent food and dining atmosphere. read more

Service was great..though I can't remember the name of the gentleman that waited my table, he was very kind and attentive. The food was ok. Started off with the fried calamari with dipping sauce. The coating was flavorful, the calamari was chewy. It was ok. I then chose to create my own pasta..penne and vodka sauce. It too was ok..just a standard full bowl of pasta. Would have been even nicer if served with Italian bread and olive oil or butter. Even an option to add chicken would have been great. Especially for the price point. Then I had the chocolate brownie sundae. This was good..the best part of the meal. Over all... the food was just ok. read more

Last night my boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner at 8 pm (Davis reservationTruly one of the best meals we've ever had. From the Orange crush suggested by our lovely waitress to the caesar salad (so flavorful and not overdressed) to the Surf and Turf for two. Just a wonderful meal and while I do not remember our servers name (sorry girl) she was THE BEST. I've been a server before and I was never as pleasant as this lady. we thank you for such a great experience and I can't wait to go back!! read more
