Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Manasquan

We must start with our waiter, Tyler. He was wonderful!! He was professional, friendly, provided outstanding service & allowed time for you to enjoy your meal. The caviar appetizer was delicious! It was accompanied by blinis, chopped onion, capers, sour cream. It was enough for two to share. The branzino was perfectly cooked served over roasted potatoes, fennel & an olive tapenade. YUM! The beef bourguignon was equally as delicious! We ended the evening with the apple torte & vanilla ice cream. A perfect ending to a delightful dinner. Will definitely return & ask for Tyler!

We had a great time. The food and drinks were really good. It's a great place for a date night. The service was on point.

If you looking for fresh, innovative food creations, look no further than Brandl's in Belmar. This past Saturday evening, their seafood special was grilled grouper over red wine risotto with fresh asparagus. The fish was moist, tender and perfectly cooked as was the risotto. The red wine infused risotto was scrumptious and different.

This was our first time at Jasper Stone and we had high expectations. Our server, Joe, was great - very knowledgeable and attentive. We absolutely loved out appetizer, tartare trio, and we're looking forward to our entrees. There was a bit of a snafu with getting them, we waited a very long time, so muchnso that I mentioned it to Joe and he agreed and would check on it for us. It wasn't what I thought was busy enough for a wait like that but I don't jnow what was going on in the kitchen. Our dinners came out and unfortunately my husband's was extremely undercooked and mine was a bit over. Joe had the owner Kim come speak with us and he made it right immediately. We appreciated that and the dinner was very good! My husband ordered the crispy potatoes as his side and I liked them better than my side of creamed spinach. I will say the creamed spinach was good but I happen to be overly critical of creamed apinach and felt the parmesan cheese was too heavy handed. Kim insisted that dessert was on him, which we said was not necessary, and we got the bananas foster bread pudding and pistachio cake. We also both got cappuccino, and we both said it was the best we have ever had. We loved the whimsical rock candy stick that came in it - so cute and nostalgic. The desserts though - they were both delectable and incredibly delicious! They are made in house and you can absolutely tell! All in all we veryuch enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!

As usual I very much enjoyed my meal. Due to having Celiac disease I can only eat the gluten free penne which you cook perfectly with your great sauses. It would be soooo great if you got GF seasoned bread crumbs so I could order your great chicken parm.-baked clams-stuffed mushrooms It would also be great if you had an option to get GF bread at the beginning of the meal with the cocktails ...toasted w/butter,,, with your homade eggplant tompinade. I know there might be a cost for it, but if you keep it reasonable restricted eaters like myself would not complain
