Best Casual Restaurants in Holmdel

Our server was professional, lovely and knowledgeable. She welcomed us in, gave great advice, and was overall terrific as this was our first visit. The food was fantastic, as were the cocktails. The only drawback was a gentleman that was assisting at our table. Initially he came over (after we were seated by staff) and asked if we seated ourselves or if we had a reservation. (We did and explained that as we entered the restaurant). We ordered the whipped ricotta (which was delicious) and this same gentleman advised that if we needed more bread just ask. Clearly this happens often. Well, we were left with a half bowl of cheese and no bread. We asked and received. However when we received the bill we were charged $3 for the extra bread. Not the money, it’s the principle. You may want to rethink that policy. Personally I don’t like being nickel and dimed. Unfortunately it left us feeling a little deflated after an outstanding experience.

Great value bc of byob. The most tender, delicious pork chop ever. Great Clam Shell Pasta dish. Fabulous brussels caesar salad. So tasty! Janice is a fabulous waiter!!

My 2 girlfriends and I had a wonderful meal and experience here!! Loved the food and the holiday decorations!! And our waitress Wendy was incredible, and got us whatever we needed or wanted asap! She was very attentive, friendly and just a lovely person! We will absolutely be back again!

This restaurant is our all-time-favorite for family celebrations. It's located midway between us and our children and grandchildren. They do a great job of handling large groups. Everyone loves the food - there is something for everyone! From Veal Marsala to Chicken Parmigiana to chicken fingers and fries for the little ones.

The food was good, service attentive, the place had energetic ambiance of a sports bar.
