   I wish I could give this place zero stars. I made a reservation about a month or more in advance for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner. I kindly put in the notes to please wish him a happy birthday & to please put a candle in his dessert. From the second we sat we felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff & our server. She didn’t even tell us her name and spent most of the time chatting with her family who was sitting at the bar area. I should mention I asked for a dining room table in my reso & they put us in a corner table in the bar area surrounded by a packed bar of people. At this point they come and shoo the bar patrons away from our table (I thought they did that because we sat down to eat dinner) but no they immediately come over and start stacking chairs right on top of our table and setting up a dj booth right next to us. Not one time did anyone address the commotion or apologize for the commotion going on right on top of our table. At this point I can’t even hear my bf speaking right next to me. The server never checked on our drinks and my bf absolutely hated his dirty martini it tasted like they shook it with the bleu cheese in the olives. Then we get our bread app and 5 mins later she comes over and takes my plate away and asks my bf if she can take his as he’s eating and using his plate and he had to tell the server (while chewing) he was using it to eat. At this point we’ve been seated for only about 30 minutes. We had the server, busser, and I think manager(?) all come try to take our dinner plates before we even had them on our table for 10 minutes. Then we order an espresso martini for dessert and only had a few sips left when the busser came back and asked if we were done. The drinks were $18 and tasted no alcohol. I had two cocktails and wasn’t even buzzed. Worst drinks in Monmouth County. The rude server rushed us out and never even offered us dessert, let alone acknowledge that it was my bf’s birthday or put a candle. Never coming back.

   On a busy, busy night, Christmas Eve, we didn’t feel rushed for a second, Dalton was terrific, handled our weird questions with ease and grace, she was a lively and lovely part of our time at Brothers. If we weren’t in the Christmas spirit, it wouldn’t have been for long. The bar, restaurant and outdoor space are decorated for the holidays, not an inch or dollar was spared, absolutely spectacular, tasteful and joyous decorations everywhere. Magnificent, really. We inhaled oysters, so fresh, perfectly shucked, could have eaten another dozen (and then some), delicious wines and cocktails, then three delish entrees including special. No room for dessert. A perfect night, will be back. And back again, thank you!

   It was the perfect setting for Christmas Eve dinner. I’ve been here a few times over the summer and even for drinks just a week before. I am so happy that this establishment keeps getting better and better. Our waiter was awesome. The food was amazing.

   The atmosphere around Christmas - beautiful! Lots of Christmas lights and the bar is really pretty. But they seem to be hiding the not great food behind all the decor. We were seated SQUISHED against a wall. It was so tight that I could barely move my left arm which was smashed against it. Oh and did I mention we weee directly outside the men’s bathroom? We got to see every male patron go in and come back out of the toilet. Some came out still tucking in their shirts. There were other tables available, some right by a fire! But they were saving those. When we left the tables were still empty. We had asked to move but were told those were being held. (Until when?) The food was not great. My husband ordered Arctic Char. It was very oily and fishy tasting but covered in a lot of thick white sauce. I ordered short rib ravioli and it was not good. The ravioli tasted like a dough ball. Would not go back. Do not recommend.

   Hi Pam- We appreciate your kind words about our atmosphere and the decor. For our seating, we have reservations that require larger tables and their reservation time likely was after yours, so we do have to hold tables to accommodate different party sizes for when they arrive as we do not want to rush any guests through their meals to seat another party. We always look to accommodate guests requesting to move tables, but we hope you understand that not every request can be accommodated due to varying party sizes requiring different table and seating arrangements. Please know we take all feedback seriously and will use your comments to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better dining experience in the future.

    beautifully decorated for Christmas. We got the first reservation for the day on Open Table for 11:45 and to our surprise the restaurant did not open to 12 noon. Cocktails are delish, food was great but you can tell there is a desire to move you through your experience, I’m sure it is especially busy for the holiday. Will definitely be back !
