Why not the Crab's Claw Inn of Lavallette or Rockafella's of Ortley Beach? Hmmm.......

Just tried the Colts Neck Inn this past week. Very comfortable & easy going place. Plenty of people hanging at bar, & many families in dining room. I had one of the best steaks I've ever had, 16oz. Filet Mignon has outrageous. Also try their Ahi Tuna Tower great presentation & taste. Our waitress told us they have live bands on the weekends too. This will definately be our new local hang out.

addie wrote about Clementine's Cafe

Have been going here for three years now. We love the food, the decor, the staff - there is nothing bad to say about Clementine's. We have spent every special occasion here since we first discovered it, have brought in town and out of town guests and they love it as much as we do. Great job guys!

Hey Francop46! These restaurants opted in to this event which is presented by Bestweekends.com. I do not believe that Anna's is one of the participating restaurants.

francop46 commented on Jersey Shore Restaurant Week

How come you didn't include Anna's Italian Kitchen,one of the best italian restaurants in Monmouth County,in your Jersey Shore Restaurant Week?

Great atmosphere, great coffee.

Zippy commented on Eurasian Eatery delivers on menu promise

Try the szchewan Dumpling Salad. It's not what you think of as traditional dumplings, but the salad/dressing is amazing. I've been eating it for 10 years, and it's always great.

newtomich wrote about D&L Bar-B-Que

We've passed by D&L for over a year in Asbury... heard gr8 things from friends, so finally we went last nite. It was probably the best bbq ribs i ever had. their mac and cheese is to die for (the SIDE IS MASSIVE). you may think it's a tad pricey ($20-$25 per entree, the big rib ones) but you get like 2 sides, cornbread, salad AND LEFTOVERS for probably 2 more nites! The ribs were pull-off-the-bone... I had the Guinness ribs and my hubby has the slow cooked ones (both pork, tho they have beef ribs, which i never see anymore so that's a nice treat)... some caribbean and cajun things on the menu which i can't wait to try. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... excellent food in asbury... casual attire....they give you plenty of napkins after you've licked your fingers!

I have been going to Trattoria g for three years the food is good and consistant atomosphere is family friendly and the chef is awesome.

TischaC wrote about Eurasian Eatery

I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for great, comfy, healthy, organic food. This type of food is scarce in NJ and Eurasian definitely has it's pulse on the organic dining experience.

bjkwjk wrote about Eurasian Eatery

What can I say?, this is one of those places that isn't going to win any awards for it's food or service, the ambiance is nothing special... BUT.... The overall experience is comfortable and satisfying. The food is tasty, the service is warm and attentive, the prices are great. You can't go wrong, it's like eating dinner at the home of a good friend.. I would highly recommend the Eurasian Eatery.

bjkwjk wrote about Mr. Pizza Slice

Don't get me wrong, I like the pizza, Italian hot dogs and the fries. What I don't like is paying $2.50 for a slice that is scarcely larger than my hand. The place itself is dumpy... No space at the counter, crappy dining area, borderline rude (unless you are one of the owners buddies).....

bjkwjk wrote about Dish A Restaurant

Tried Dish on one of the nights where they offered the Prix Fixe special. Room was very loud. Ambience = Chic cafeteria. Service was...just okay, nothing special. Could have been friendlier. Food, was once again, okay, to be honest, the dish I ordered was way too big. Almost as if they were trying to offset the mediocrity of it all. Value: not worth it, even at the Prix Fixe pricing. I'm glad I tried it, probably won't go back...

VeryUnhappyDiner wrote about Dish A Restaurant

I recently dined at Dish restaurant with my friends. We were looking forward to an enjoyable and festive night out over a great dinner. When we arrived, we were greeted with an empty hostess stand. We waited several minutes for someone to return so that we could be seated. The hostess finally arrived. She looked annoyed and perturbed and without uttering a word, she seated us. The hostess promptly left and we sat around waiting for our waitress to arrive and greet us. We waited over ten minutes but our waitress never came. After fifteen minutes, the same hostess/waitress returned bearing the same unfriendly and annoyed demeanor. We asked for some water and her large frown enlargened. She appeared anxious to leave and we tried to give her our order before we lost her again. She seemed so frustrated about having to linger and take our order, that we thought that perhaps she was not our waitress...although we later learned that she was. We asked the waitress for the standard bread and olives (that every other table had) and she never returned with it. We had to flag down the bus boy to get the bread since our waitress had failed us. About 45 minutes after we were seated, our appetizer finally arrived. It was served by our busboy because our waitress had completely ignored our table. In fact she walked by our table every 2 minutes, but never once stopped to ask how we were doing or if we needed anything. In fact, we still did not get our water. We finished our appetizers and the waitress still had not yet visited our table since she took our order. The busboy cleared our dishes. When it was time for our entrees, again the waitress was still MIA. The busboy served us our entrees and when we finished, the busboy cleared our plates. All this time, the waitress still had not once stopped at our table, even though she passed by it very frequently. Exactly 1 hour from the time we had placed our order, was the second time our waitress finally returned to our table. We were so put-off by the bad service that it really ruined the entire dining experience for all of us. There were exactly 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant of 12 tables (and one of the waitresses was also serving as the hostess). While we could understand the complete lack of service if they were understaffed, we found it outrageous as to how rude the waitress was. Each time she passed our table, we sustained her nasty glares and frowns as she breezed past us. It is amazing how terrible service can ruin an entire dining experience, but this waitress managed to accomplish it. One could find better waitress service at McDonalds...at least they greet you with a smile. In the end, we stopped eating and took our food to go because our evening was ruined by this one person. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. As regards to the food, it was ok, but not spectacular...and certainly not good enough to offset the non-existant service. Best advise is DON'T GO

The service is slow and some of the waitresses have attitudes. The food is great. Holmdel is better service wise.

donnametwo wrote about The Mill at Spring Lake Heights

Married at The MIll on October 10th. What a great day! Food, service and decor were exceptional. Guests are still raving about their experience. A couple of friends in the bridal party were so impressed that they are planning their weddings and are strongly considering The Mill for 2010 and 2011. Highly recommended if your taste is upscale and want the best for your guests. Ceremony site is great this time of year.

reraise wrote about The Baker Boys

What happened to freshly baked goods? I was sold 2 Red Velvet Cupcakes today that were refridgerated from the night before and the frosting was lhard as a rock. Not to mention that the cake was stale and lacked any flavor. Totally disgusting Don't let the picture fool you. They do not sell cake slices after the summer! This place has gone downhill since I started going there in 2007. The person behind the counter when I visited was clueless and very rude.

jimjones wrote about Colts Neck Inn Steak & Chop House

What a great dinner. My family had dinner there tonight, and there specials are great. Teriyaki Glazed Chilean Seabass, Filet Mignon Duet, & the presentation was great. Live bands every weekend, cool place & great food!

My family went to the Colts Neck Inn for dinner. We were greeted at the front door and seated at our table promptly. The server was friendly and very attentive. The meal arrived and it was plentlyful and very tasty. Our server was Jennifer and she and the rest of the staff made us feel very welcome. We will go back and tell our friends. Thank you for a great evening. R. Levine

slbride wrote about The Mill at Spring Lake Heights

I was a very disappointed bride overall. The vendors that The Mill recommends were for the most part great, but they themselves are seriously lacking in business ethics and best practice. The following details why: 1) we booked the venue and paid additional money for reserving both the downstairs and upstairs, and thereby having the venue to ourselves completely from 6pm onwards. when we booked this in, the mill was not doing a la carte dining, and when they did bring it back, we received no notice of this and were still made to pay the full add'l charge (even though we didn't have the place to ourselves anymore!)! 2) our wedding 'coordinator' and her boss took about 2 weeks to return emails or calls, if they ever bothered doing so at all. 3) they don't insist their recommended officiants attend rehearsals before the ceremony; ours didn't and he botched the whole thing...quite embarassing. 4) our hor deourves and salad selections were wrong the day before the wedding. 5) pre-ordered veggie/gluten free appetizers/dinners were not served properly. 6) a seat was missing from a table, leaving the mother of one of my bridesmaids embarrassed. 7) our sand ceremony portion of our ceremony was not set up properly, so that family members were supposed to bring up like communion so that they could be a part of the ceremony; this was discussed and agreed in advance. 8) servers were VERY rude to our guests; when they did not provide the correct veggie/gluten free meals, when my aunt asked for her piece of cake (because she passed the one on originally given to her, but the server yelled at her saying she already got one!), and finally when one server yelled at my great aunt to move her walker out of the way as it was a fire hazzard, yet she put a tray of dirty dishes there instead! 9) POTATO CHIPS were served as an hor deourves when the 'coordinator' and i had agreed to pomme frites (french fries!) originally!!! 10) the raw bar which charges at $12pp additionally only had about 2 dozen shrimp, oysters and crab legs on it and guests were made to wait in line for someone to ration their servings! I had emailed the head maitre d and owner before writing these reviews, at least expecting to receive an apology, but no such luck. I would never recommend this place to anyone...they are classless and obviously do not value the business of their patrons (and this coming from someone who spent $30k there for a wedding, and another $3k for her sister's shower last year!).

the food was great- unique and beautifully presented. try the scallops!!

DavidLiedl wrote about Peking Pavilion

Have enjoyed lunch over twenty times. Only entree to disappoint was the shrimp with Grand Marnier. Definitely non-traditional American-Chinese fare. Many menu items are one-of-a-kind but well described with familiar ingrediants. Definately NOT BYOB, there is a full well stocked u-shaped bar. There may be a takeout window, not sure. For the quality of the food, superior value.

Zippy commented on Bar A free buffet

I went to one of these "Bar Buffet's"and was not expecting much because , well , it's free "Bar food". I was wrong, they really offer good well made food, and not just the usuall wings, and tater skins , etc. I was quite surprised.
