DININGand
nightlife
Whether you’re looking for a quick bite with
the family or a romantic waterside dinner
for two, you’ll find so many Zagat®-rated
restaurants to try in Monmouth County that
you’ll never run out of options.
Of course, our region is known for fantastic shore seafood spots and
waterfront establishments offering glorious views and every type of
food. Avenue Restaurant, a blend of the Parisian brasserie and the
luxurious beaches of St. Tropez on the Atlantic beachfront in Long
Branch, the Molly Pitcher Inn and Oyster Point Hotel, both on the
Navesink in Red Bank, are just a few that feature excellent waterside
vantage points and run the gamut in price and cuisine. Boardwalk
eateries offer delicious casual fare, and many will deliver right to your
beach blanket. Renowned as one of the country’s oldest family-run
businesses with over 100 years in Highlands, Bahrs Landing, along
with Moby’s Outside Deck & Lobster Pound next door, offers Dock &
Dine and amazing views of Sandy Hook and the adjoining bay along
with its famous seafood. Recent years have seen an explosion of
exciting new restaurants in Highlands to suit every palate.
Already known for its wide, family-friendly beaches, Belmar is rapidly
becoming a culinary destination. Downtown, Belmar Plaza is home to
a number of popular eateries. Brandl is a fashionable BYO bistro with
a relaxed ambiance featuring elevated New American cuisine and live
jazz. Mr. Shrimp’s renewed location offers some of the freshest and
tastiest seafood dishes in the area.
