Came here with my husband and toddler. Lots of great choices on the menu, but we decided on the smoked fish dip, octopus, and the crabcake sliders. Husband ordered the ultimate bloody mary, and I got the cava. The bloody mary is no joke! There really isn't much of a kids menu (chicken tenders, hot dog, or linguini pasta), so my toddler just munched on some pita from the dip appetizer. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pretty lively for a 5:30pm reservation! There is outdoor seating, but we sat inside since the tables were full.I'd go again and order the mussels. I saw many folks order that! The octopus and the sliders were a hit for us. The dip was just ok, and definitely not enough pita bread!

Asbury's premier beachfront gathering spot. Part sophisticated drinkery and tapas bar, part music lounge and social club, Watermark's environment is contemporary yet comfortable, refined yet relaxed, upscale yet inclusive.

Visited with a friend who I havenât seen for awhile. Beautiful space with unusual lamps on the ceiling, large windows and stunning views of the ocean and an incredible sunset sky. Waiters were attentive and the hot spinach and cheese dip with chips was delicious. Large couches , upright high top seating facing the windows and a regular bar area. Also an outdoor seating area , weather permitting and an indoor fireplace area . Great music and a great evening , capped off by a walk on the boardwalk!

Tried this place for the first time on our way home from a trip. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves so how could the service be bad right? We ordered an appetizer to split the I got the salmon Mac n cheese and broccoli. My husband got a sliced filet mignon sandwich with Mac n cheese. The appetizer never came. Our dinners came out. My husbands meet was rare he had asked for it medium. The broccoli was pretty much raw. The drink I asked for was not very good. Def did not taste like top shelf vodka. I was disappointed

A nice diner/deli with a large menu. Had a big breakfast. The bagel was very fresh and huge. I would like to try it again if I ever find myself in the area and explore the rest of the menu

Great experience and the best pizza around. I visited this place many times and had never been disappointed. Different pizzas, one better then the other one but they all outstanding. Also, try their toasts and salads with bread because their bread is simply delicious. Too bad they don't sell bread to go. Strongly recommend and I will be back once in the area.

I've eaten here for breakfast or brunch several times and with different friends. We always enjoy our food. Of course, I almost always get the Eggs Benedict on greens. Yum! My last visit was for the girlfriend's weekend tea. It was a lovely event!

Great location, service very good and our breakfast were delish! My daughter loved her French toast and bacon. I had the omelette special: goat cheese, arugula and suns dried tomatoes.. had to get the biscuit and yes! It was delish smeared with the cinnamon butter. Plenty of choices here.. you will notbe disappointed! Staff very pleasant. My daughter approves and wants to bring her daddy back!

Every time I have visited Ocean Grove, I have eaten here. It's a little pricey, but worth the excellent food and lovely ambiance, whether outside or in, with the lovely fish tank...

Beachside restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating, serving breakfast, lunch and a more upscale yet casual, gourmet dinner experience.
Reviewed By DCFireMedic
Went here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant on the Avon Boardwalk that serves a great seafood dinner! Most boardwalk restaurants offer typical boardwalk fast food, this is not one of the those places!First of all it is located inside the Avon Beach Pavilion on the boardwalk with absolutely great ocean and beach views!Second of all, the food is fantastic without being pretentious! We shared their sangria marinated watermelon salad which was refreshing and savoury!For my main course I had the flounder sole franchise with linguine, delicious!The staff is professional, friendly and attentive.Lastly, as mentioned earlier, the ambiance of the surf and beach adds tremendously to the experience!Only a couple minor dings. First it is a BYOB establishment and they do not advertise that on their website, but easily rectified by a quick drive to Bradley Beach for wine or beer. Secondly, they do not accept reservations. It is a first come a first come, first on the list for the restaurant: which is a testament to their service and food! Lastly, they are only a seasonal establishment opening on Motherâs Day and closing the week after Labour Day.Great experience and hope to return this weekend.Thumbs up!

You know itâs the best dinner of the year when you go to Moonstuck! We go out 2-3 times a week. But this time it was our anniversary dinner ! This was it. Best Dinner of the year. Best service, moreover best selections. Every meal came out like a piece of art... perfectly plated. But the taste was even better. It feels like it is owner operated- at Moonstruck they really care about you & making it an experience to remember! We are hooked or shall I say Moonstruck !
