Best Live Music Restaurants in Red Bank

This was our first visit here. We were originally attracted to it because the great Motown themed band, "Motor City Revue", was playing here at no admission or cover charge! Amazing!! They are great and kept the place rockin' and dancing all night. As an added special bonus, the ambiance, food, drinks and service were really good. They also honored a special request we made through Open Table. We had a great night at a reasonable price. We'll be back.

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Had a fabulous time. The food was amazingly delicious, we shared an order of the calamari as an appetizer, wow, the sweet chili sauce was great. I had the short ribs as an entree my husband had the surf n turf, so much food took home a huge doggie bag. We shared a piece of cheese cake with salted caramel sauce on it. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere and service was on point! Our waiter Cory was very helpful in our selections and extremely attentive to our needs. 5 stars!!

Yet again another great Blu Grotto experience! Entrees veal chop Milanese ( perfectly cooked and huge) and special ink squid pasta with assorted seafood ( clams, mussels, calamari and lobster chunks- in a wonderful seafood broth. Amazing. Dessert shared hazelnut torta caprese- dreamy. We love Blu Grotto! Great wines by the glass ! Great service.

Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
