Best restaurants near me in Colts Neck, NJ

This is my new favorite restaurant. Love the charming rustic decor. I feel like we’re in the Pennsylvania countryside when we’re here. The service is phenomenal, the server and the support staff are there whenever you need them. Very friendly and attentive. Now, the food. Absolutely delicious. Best rice balls ever. Honestly, I never liked rice balls until these. Crispy, cheesy delicious! All the salads are exquisitely composed. The way the greens are sliced and perfectly dressed. We had the tricolore with roasted butternut squash (finely chopped) with crispy shallots and cider vinaigrette. I’d had the halibut with lobster cream sauce and lump crab last week, which was a large fresh piece of flaky moist fish. Someone at the next table had the shrimp scampi and I already knew I had to try it this time. It was without question, not even close, the best shrimp scampi of my 50 years. The sauce was the perfect combo of wine lemon and butter. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh, the Brussel sprouts side is also a standout. Dessert, don’t bother looking at the menu- just get the graham cracker gelato with a cappuccino, You’ll thank me later; I promise.

Went for dinner on Christmas. Service was the best. Our server spent time talking with us! Food was 5 star. I had filet mignon and my husband had rack of lamb. Both delicious and perfectly prepared. Wonderful ambience.

This restaurant is always on point with service, kudos to Millena who was beyond attentive and personable. Food superb as usual.

Eat at this restaurant regularly and I’ve never had a bad experience or meal. Last night being two days before Christmas it was very busy so noise level was high. Had a great meal , sea bass and short rib bolognese. Highly recommended. Service was excellent.

It was not a busy night 12/23 so we were able to sit at a table of 4 to accommodate our party of 2. That was nice. Normally I feel very squeezed in. Food is always good except for their molten lava cake. I got a cowboy burger - medium. Cooked perfect and delicious. My husband got the smashed burgers he enjoyed as well. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive.
