I'll start by saying that the venue is fantastic. As is the manager and the wait staff. I ordered the southwestern salad (with grilled shrimp) which I had seen many people eating while I waited to seat, and a side of fries. My fries came out almost immediately, but I wanted them with my meal. I asked them to take them back and bring them with my meal. My meal came and it was missing the taco chips. The shrimp were cold. The pleasant waitress took back the salad and said they would make new shrimp. The salad came back (now with stale with taco chips). The staff made it great and I will give the place another try. The restaurant is trying to be great and the manage cares, which means a lot! Try it for yourself and checkout the water view and feel... amazing! read more

Waypoint 622 is a great spot for waterfront dining. We got there early and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, and with the beautiful weather, sitting outside overlooking the water was perfect. The Dockside Shrimp and Fried Pork Pot Stickers were both delicious, shareable appetizers and arrived quickly. For entrées, the Tuna Poke Bowl, Shrimp Poke Bowl, and Jambalaya were all flavorful and generously portioned. My main complaint was the timing of the food. The poke bowls came out less than five minutes after the appetizers arrived and about 15 minutes before the jambalaya. Our server mentioned they would come out faster, but the pacing made it difficult to enjoy the appetizers before the table was filled with entrées. Thankfully, the poke bowls were cold, so we didn't have to eat them immediately, but it still felt rushed. Next time, we will not be ordering entrees until after we are done with appetizers since it seems the staff doesn't do anything to mitigate timing. We understand the poke bowls coming out before the regular entrees, but it coming that quickly after apps is an issue on the waiter's side in my opinion. Overall, the food, views, outdoor seating, and convenient parking made for a very enjoyable meal. I'd definitely return and would just hope for a little better coordination between the kitchen and sushi station next time. read more

I went in on Thursday.. sat at the bar.. i never had a worse experience in all my days.. These bartenders havent got a clue. Took forever to get a plate and napkins. Was contemplating using my shirt.. how do you not have napkins.. the old man bartender took 5 years to make a cocktail and it tasted like soap. He looked destressed and was unpleasant. Awful experience. Band was so loud almost lost an ear drum.. wait staff running around aimlessly- like theres a fire. Save your money. Do not dine here. There is better spots. read more

First: Valet and Izzy were great. Next: gluten free fig and flat bread were nearly inedible and actually had no feta with gloppy fig preserves. Beer in the restaurant was served in a plastic cup at the dinner table. Salad was drenched in pungent dressing when asked for it in the side. I hear the fish, sushi and brunch are way better. Would not recommend. read more

We attended a wedding pre-reception here. 1) ambiance was fantastic. This place is right on the marina and makes for fantastic views. The weather was ideal for us. 2) bartenders were excellent! 3) service was great. Buffet style food & desserts. They kept tables clean and neat. 4) food was about B+ but presentation was superb. Highly recommended. read more

Great view and service. John the bartender was very friendly and attentive. Poke bowl was best I ever had

I would not recommend. The hostess staff is not nice or accommodating. I have a party of 7 (5 adults, 2kids) midday today There was about 10 tables empty. They couldn't put tables together or have us separate and sit at 2 tables.. this is the second time this has happened with the hostess.. same girl not friendly and the other girls just followed her lead. I have always loved waypoint and been a customer for years. I won't be going back with those girls there. read more

My favorite place to go on Sundays. Either by boat or by car, we love to come here for Sunday brunch. Always pleasant and delicious food, water front views and great music. Thank you George for always being so attentive. One more thing, if you have celiac disease, this is the place to come. Lots of selection to choose from, you will be happy to come back. read more

Attended a rehearsal dinner at Waypoint 622. Everything was top notch! The service, food and ambiance were great. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and make sure everyone's needs were met. The charcuterie boards were well stocked and delicious. The dinner was fantastic and those warm donuts for dessert; well they just melted in your mouth. The location was perfect for beautiful photos after dinner. read more

I love this place because of the view and we do enjoy the lobster & shrimp roll. On Saturday we had the tuna nachos which were really good. I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi wrap. My son ordered the pretzel bites but they didn't arrive until after his dinner and when the bill came they added the 2 martini's from the table next to us onto our tab. Luckily I caught it before signing, but a little disappointed. read more

Great view and excellent food and service. We had great drinks and appetizers and the waitress checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything. And they are dog friendly which is great. They even gave us a pupcup. read more

Don't waste your time or money. The drinks are disgusting Tastes like absolute shit. The spinach dip was horrible with stale chips. Even the basic rolls were gross and had hair on one piece. Service was slow couldn't get a plate for at least 15 minutes. Don't come here read more

First, I had read reviews from various sources about this restaurant, and it seemed people either hated it or loved it; hardly any in-between. So having lived in this area my entire life, I had never dined here for one reason or another. A good friend and I decided to try it last night. When we arrived, the parking lot was just about empty, though to be fair, it was the night before New Year's Eve and only 5:30. Naturally I was hesitant once seeing that. But as soon as we entered, the first thing I noticed were the gorgeous decorations for the holiday season. Within a minute we were greeted and seated, and the waitress (Christina ?) came over right away and made us feel right at home. Throughout the meal she was knowledgeable and attentive. Also during our meal, the manager and even the chef came over to see how everything was. Now to the food. Excellent! I had the lamb chops which were done perfectly with a nice crust, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp-tender, which is the way they should be. Also no heavy sauce on the lamp chops which many times can hide off flavors of the meat. The mashed potatoes were good, but I so enjoyed the lamb chops and vegetables that I didn't pay much attention to it. My friend ordered the Veal Milanese. He said it was done perfectly and he even ate the arugula, which he usually doesn't like. The prices are also very good for what you get. Note that it's BYOB from October (?) through April. I hardly ever write such a long review but in this case, I felt I wanted to, as this place rates as one of the highest--food-wise, price, service--we've been to in New Jersey. read more

We had 25 people for a Communion Party in the Wine Room with a sit-down plated all Gluten Free menu and it was FANTASTIC. The initial response to our event inquiry was quick despite the quick turnaround timing. Jessica was incredibly responsive and any miscommunications were immediately remedied. The guests (comprised of usually-picky restaurant industry alumni) were blown away by the taste and quality of the food and said it was better than regular food made with gluten *Chef got a well deserved ovation. Portions were surprisingly large for the seated lunch menu option and cost effective for the area, especially since they did not inflate the cost due to my ask of making EVERYTHING Gluten Free for my Celiac daughter celebrant. They even made GF bread for bread service for the tables (chef advised they get GF flour from Italy) and they can make so many GF options because they make everything "old school" from scratch. The fried Calamari is AMAZING. The server was fantastic also. We came before the seasonal liquor license was active but she still was on top of filling everyone's sodas, etc as if they were drink-drinks. The management was also elbow deep in clearing plates and wrapping even the family style salads grandparents asked for to-go. We didn't want for anything despite coming at the awkward time of 4-7pm. And yes, we were THOSE people not seated ordering espresso and cappuccino but everyone still got everything and even ate the flourless chocolate torte for dessert because it was also fantastic. We couldn't take any pictures because we all inhaled the food so fast, it was too delicious. They are amazing people, amazing food, so accommodating, and the value for their product is something no one else in this area could ever compete with. read more

Nice ambiance, good food and good service. Bread basket should be complimentary not a menu item.

So disappointed. Celebrated a special birthday, 7 people. Two people had filet mignon . Asked for med rare, both came out brown, barely pink. Sent back . The crest of us were done eating by the time new meals came back. All ordered desserts and then server came back to say they were out of the sorbet and key lime pie. They knew it was a birthday, brought out the cake but no candle. We had to ask for one. You would think we would have at least had a free piece of cake just as a birthday acknowledgment but no. No comps or anything taken off for the steaks. Spending more than $400 with such a lack of care for the food they brought out ( and couldn't bring out) leaves me no choice to leave a one star. We did enjoy the halibut but cannot return after the way our meal was handled. I would have been very happy with a free piece of cake. Manager apologized but then you think they would have been doing all they could to make the rest of the dinner be positive. That just didn't happen. read more

All good went to charity function was excellent. Service was on the spot and ownership more than accomidati g.

Decent food but some of the things on the menu have gotten and are ridiculously priced. Had 1 crab cake appy that was $24! Just 1 mini crab cake! Beautiful view. Good drinks. Nice servers read more

We sat at the bar for some nice cocktails and light appetizers. They have a great drink menu with infused options. Octopus was a hit. Service was friendly. Nice environment and beautiful scenery. Come here sometimes in the summer to change it up. Def. recommend. read more

Came to see a band play on the patio. They told us we wouldn't be able to stay at the table long enough to see the band. The last time we came here, the food wasn't anything special and the service is slow. I wouldn't come back. read more

Approached the hostess stand and the 3 young ladies working were in a conversation with 1 customer. I literally had to shoehorn my way in to get their attention. That was the good part. When we got seated noone approached us for at least 15 minutes as other people who came in after us got waited on. Finally, our waiter Conner came over. After our food came our waiter Conner never looked at us or approached to say how everything was. We wanted more drinks and ketchup but that never happened. I asked for the check and he kind of grunted but it never came. I had to ask him a second time. I dont expect anything more or less when I am a customer And always tip well. I support the local businesses and this is a great place but he has no business being a waiter. Worst customer service I have seen in a long time and I have been in hospitality for 36 years. I'll go back because the food was good and atmosphere great. read more

Went to Waypoint 622 for the first time ever after a recommendation from my sister in law. They were fairly empty as the weather looked like it was ready to pour. We sat inside an i ordered the Jambalaya. This turned out to be a mountain food that was really good. There was plenty of small shrimp and chicken in a mix that was plenty hot enough. I call this having Life in the dish and this has plenty. I could have had a bit more sausage in it but it had enough for me. It was wonderful and I will order it again when I return. My wife had the fried shrimp, clams and oyster platter and she also really liked it. The waitress also mentioned that she was the only waitress in the place as they thought they were going to be slow and it turned out they were not. Based on her effort and a person she was training the service was fine and you would have never known they were short. This is odd as in some recent posts this was noted as an issue and I didn't experience it. Cannot wait to go back! The only reason they got a 4 is their Arnold Palmer was as not as good as I had hoped. It was a little too strong and not as sugary read more

Upon arrival we received immediate service and the staff checked on us often. Food was very good . My son ordered sushi & the sushi chef got caught in traffic so he had to subsequently order something else. However, even after receiving his meal the mgr gave him his sushi dish and didn't charge us. That's great business sense ! We will return . Can't wait for the outside bar to be open. read more

Definitely better than a Parker House or Rod's. Great scenery and the food isn't bad. Went there a lot when it was Union Landing. Overall I like this place. A little expensive but who isn't these days. The local restaurants have to bring their prices down if they want a loyal local following. If they don't these restaurants will go the way of the Dodo. read more

Horrible food. Nice view. Can't get both. Weak drinks. Dirty bathroom. Never going back sorry to say

8.00 up charge on a grey goose cosmo with no warning . Chopped salad soggy as if a day old. Ti chicken wings gross. The steamed dumplings were excellent. You don't mind paying the price bc the view is spectacular. Service guy was awful. Spent 20 mins chatting. With friends as we all had empty glasses. The girl was great earlier. I'm a local so this is disappointing read more

We had pulled pork sandwich and seafood quesadillas- both about $16 and both were mediocre. Drinks were very small and expensive. The best thing is their location on the water with indoor and outdoor dining, but wait times can be very long. Staff was friendly enough, but that won't be enough to make us go back. read more

Beautiful views and great friendly staff. Generally, an older crowd here coming off of their boats for lunch. It would be 5 stars but there's no happy hour (my favorite part of going out to eat). I would definitely come back! read more

Cool place to hang and have drinks and food by a marina but downside it's a bit pricey . Appy crabcake was 21 bucks! For 1.. but after that I had a pot stickers which were steamed and I enjoyed. Seafood quesadilla was a good size. Filling and tasty. I'd comeback here for drinks but the hour drive home would be an issue . Get a suntan while you eat and enjoy the view! read more

Came here on a beautiful fall afternoon for lunch and what a great experience. Got a beautiful seat outside looking over Hoffman's Marina and the Manasquan River, absolutely beautiful, what more could you ask for. Our great waiter, TJ got us started with a couple of great drinks. Couldn't have asked for better service from him. He was friendly, helpful and attentive throughout. We love oysters so we started out with some of their seasonal oysters, fresh and delicious. We then shared a couple of great choices from their lunch menu, the Fried Seafood Basket with shrimp, clams, oysters and fries and the Corona Battered Alaskan Cod Sliders with house fried potato chips, both were delicious. Overall we had a wonderful time here and we will definitely be back again and again. Really loved this spot. read more

Wow! What a great experience. Our first outing since COVID-19 began. They started outdoor seating last week so the first night they reopened we sprang at the opportunity to get out on the nice summer evening :) I've never been here before and this place exceeded my expectations! We had a drink at the bar and enjoyed the view while we waited 30 min or so for our table. (They had less tables out because of social distance rules) Lisa our server was so great and so friendly! We started with the freshest cleanest oysters and very healthy chicken lettuce wraps. My mom and I got the Wedge Salad with shrimp. So fresh and yummy! I definitely had entree envy - my fiancé got the horseradish crusted tuna and it was THE best tuna I've ever had. And my dad got the chicken Milanese and that was THE best chicken I've ever had. The breading was so light yet so crisp. I will definitely be coming back here and it is worth the wait! read more

Tried Maglione's at Waypoint in Brielle tonight. Highly recommend....outstanding service and the food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Homemade assorted breads are complimentary along with a sample of their fried ravioli. I ate way too much but enjoyed every bite! Please try this little BYOB gem right on the Manasquan River not far from the drawbridge...you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I went to Waypoint for lunch. The view is beautiful. My lobster and shrimp roll was really good and so was my husband's pulled pork sandwich. I ordered the NJ Lemonade, I think that's the name of it. There was barely a drop of vodka in it. The service was really good and the prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area. read more

We decided to go here for a quiet bar vibe on a Saturday night because the Pig and the Parrot was packed and pretty noisy. Got seated within 20 minutes. Waitress was polite, but handed us dirty plates to use for our calamari at first, then forgot to bring out utensils with the calamari so we were waiting to eat it for a bit. Waters tasted funny, not sure if it was the way the cups were washed or where the water was coming from. Calamari was crispy but the portion was kind of small for the price. My California chicken wrap was pretty decent, probably the most redeemable thing to bring it to two stars. My boyfriend also got a garden state lemonade, but that tasted like straight water. Felt like a waste of $11..probably won't be coming back here again. read more

BRIELLE: one of our favorite places, Waypoint 622 is dog friendly on their side and back patio and well as their patio bar.
