Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Asbury Park

Food and service were great. Was so noisy that we could not hear each other talk at the table. Spent lunch saying”what?” And “huh?” And leaning into the middle of the table to talk to one another. Really took away from the experience for sure.

Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

We had an amazing experience at 618. If I were to define it I would simply say… impeccable service! Elvin was extensively knowledgeable with all drinks, food and deserts. He knew exactly when to approach us for refills and when it was time for our next course. I like how attentive the staff was on clearing the tables and how we were greeted entering the restaurant and as we left. Now to the good part, the FOOD! Everything was exquisite. I would definitely recommend the meatballs as the small plate (appetizer) very savory and tender. We also had the short rib raviolis it was delicious as well but the meatballs were hard to beat. We had the skirt steak as one of the entrees and WOW that first bite was mouthwatering, perfectly cooked, crunchy yet tender and flavorful (you have to eat it with the sauces they provide on the side). We also had the halibut, it was so beautiful plated with the sweet potato pure and rice but it was a tad dry for my liking however the pure did help with that. The drinks were also beautiful presented, not too sweet and not watery if you know what I mean. For the desert we got the Chunky Monkey Brownie Sunday, surprisingly the banana ice cream was the perfect combo! Overall this is a place I would highly recommend to all of my friends and family.

The food is amazing, the view spectacular and the service attentive a courteous. Bob the Sommelier was extremley knowledgeable and considerate of our requirements. Alex, our host, was courteous with the right touch of humour. All of the staff professional and hosted us exceptionally well. An expensive but a priceless experience.

Fun beautiful restaurant in Asbury Park. My friend had the Caesar salad which looked very good. I didn’t have an appetizer but many good options to choose from I had the seafood fradiablo which was excellent and very flavorful. The zeppolies for dessert was the winner, fantastic. I would go back to Brando’s an enjoyable dining experience.
