Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Belmar

Phenomenal place! I’m not a huge steakhouse person (I feel like home cooked is yummiest) but my boyfriend is so I booked this restaurant for our anniversary since I saw the Italian and Asian influence. As soon as we walked in we loved the ambiance, the flowers and trees gave it an intimate romantic feel. The staff was very attentive and polite and knowledgeable. We had John as our waiter and he was quick and seemed like he liked working there. The food was AMAZING! To give background, we love gourmet/specialty food and don’t mind spending for our bellies. We got the caviar and oyster appetizer, the crunchy rice, wagyu, caviar appetizer special, ricotta gnocchi, bone in cowboy ribeye, olive oil cake, fig cake and butterscotch crème brûlée. But before our orders the assorted bread basket was to die for as well and the butter! I have nothing bad to say about any of the dishes! Every ingredient was thoughtfully added and I didn’t feel like anything was fluff. We are for sure coming back and I recommend this place to everyone

This was one of the best dining experiences we have had in years! The service is impeccable, the food unbelievable, the ambiance so festive and the amazing jazz in the background just completed the package! We are so excited to come back and bring friends and family. Thank you for giving us one of the best memories in a very long time! Can’t wait to return!

We had a most enjoyable time at Brandl. All who waited on us were friendly and helpful and the dinner itself was excellent. We cannot wait to go back again!!!!

There were 4 of us. 3 of the 4 were very happy. One ordered the oxtail, taste was good but very fatty and hardly any meat. Disappointing.

Everything was awesome, definitely will come back
