We are about to move into the town, so tried this place out. The list of Craft Beers is stunning (take a look at the photo). Mostly local brews, but also from out of the area. It's a large bar, and plenty of table seating. We ate here as well and the food was great. Fresh and perfectly prepared. Service (we ordered from the Bartender) was just perfect. This will become my 'local; and go-to Pub. Just a lovely place.

This is THE best italian deli in the area. The sandwiches are enormous. The bread is fresh. Most of their business is catering for events. We order here all the time for small gatherings when we need food. Everything they make is outstanding. Its a no brainer. If you live in the area and have not tried this place, do yourself a favor and stop in.

New Jersey is the diner capital of the world, but this place is totally unremarkable. Always friendly service and a nice atmosphere, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. They have a great menu and some creative specials (or they used to, it's been nearly a year) but the food never tasted great. Burgers were always overcooked and tasteless, cheese never melted on anything you order it on, and just generally average food. The pancakes were actually disgusting, could have tossed them like a Frisbee. And by "chocolate chip pancakes", they mean giving you regular pancakes with about ten chocolate morsels thrown on top. Rip-off. I never had anything standout. With Sissy's down the street and so many other diners within 15 minutes, I go elsewhere and recommend you do the same.

My husband and I and our son and daughter went to the Salt Creek Grille in Rumson, NJ to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The location was very scenic even though we were not able to get a table right by the window as we had requested when we made the reservation.We began our meal with the sourdough loaf, stuffed jumbo shrimp and calamrari. Then we ordered the citrus shrimp, briskit/rigatone, steak frites and the two crab cake dinners. We ended out meal with the delicious chocolate souffle which was ample for the four of us. Note that this dessert has to be ordered 25 minutes beforehand. The presentation of that dessert was lovely with a candle on it for my daughter's birthday. Everything was delicious!! Our server, Cindy, was very personable and attentive. We did have a coupon for a $20 discount for the "birthday girl". Unfortunately when we mentioned that to our server when we first ordered our food she said that we have to present that at the end of the meal. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we totally forgot about using the coupon! Check that perk out online if you are going with someone celebrating a birthday on that particular day. The restaurant is on the expensive side but well worth it!!

Decent breakfast menu with a number interesting omelet selections. Also a couple of sausage choices. Excellent friendly service. Ordered Stephieâs omelet. Wow what a portion and big pieces of kielbasa! Delicious - absolutely delicious. Home fries were also delicious. Would not hesitate to come back here in the near future â actually looking forward to it.

Sissy's has the best location ever for a breakfast; it looks out over the Harbour at Atlantic Highlands. They have a huge deck outside, which must be awesome in the summer. The breakfast is very good and great service. The only drawback is there's no WIFI.

Tried the Navesink Fishery after finding on tripadvisor. The restaurant only takes reservations of 6 or more. The restaurant is in the shopping center where the old A&P was on Route 36 in the Atlantic HIghlands. Went there on a Saturday night around 6:30. Waited about 30 minutes to sit in the dining area. The place has a nice seafood market in the front of the restaurant, for pick up and take out orders. The place is bring your own and there are some tables in the front you can sit and have a drink while you are waiting for your table. Our server Maggie was very nice and offered some recommendations. We started of trying the chowders. I tried the New England Clam Chowder and my Pal had the Crab and Corn Chowder. The Corn and Crab was very good but the New England was not. It was lacking clam, clam flavor, vegetables, salt, it just tasted like base and some thyme. I nervously waited for the fried oysters to come out but they were very good, fresh, and with a nice wasabi sauce. We then very much enjoyed the blackened halibut and the grouper francaise with crab meat. Both were fresh, cooked perfectly and very nicely flavored. Would of liked a little more spice, heat, with the halibut but still was very pleased.. We will definitely be back and give the New England Chowder another shot but again it was a very nice meal and evening.

We came here with friends over the weekend. It is the perfect summer place to go for food, drinks and beautiful views. The restaurant has great views from both inside and out. The staff is very friendly, the menu is varied and the prices are reasonable. To top if off, the food was delicious! I had the baked grouper and my husband had the tuna tacos and they were both excellent! The wine pours are very generous as well. This is a great place to come and we will definitely come back.They also have live music on the deck as well. A great place to come along the water. You won't be disappointed.

We are brewers of traditional ales and lagers. We compose simple menus around the season. We present ourselves authentically.

My wife and I have now eaten here several times. The room is certainly stylish, and the menu eclectic, but the food needs some work. We tarted with an IPA, and it was not to my taste. Not hoppy enough. We also started with a mezzo plate with hummus, smoked eggplant dip, pickled vegetables, olives and flatbread. The components were fine, but the presentation was stylish but very awkward to eat. The olives and pickled vegetables were piled on top of the two dips so that you had to push them out of the way to get at the dips. Pushing them off of the hummus pushed them onto the eggplant dip and vice verse. Very awkward. I had the tempura vegetables. The coating on the vegetables was thin and not adhered to the vegetables so it fell off when you went to eat the. The Yakatori (?) sauce accompanying them was very thin and did not have much flavor. My wife had the mussels and frites and declared them âfineâ. Nuff said, she loves mussels.
