Our Guestbook
“ A new rooftop with beautiful views of the beach in Asbury Park! We made a reservation for lunch on a Saturday right when it opened (this was last month) but there were still plenty of tables/bar seats available. The smoked pepperoni pizza was definitely the hit, packed with flavor and plenty of crispy pepperoni and peppers. The lobster roll was delicious and very filling as well. Our only complaint was that the fries were listed as truffle fries on the menu, but we just received regular fries. Not sure if that was a mix up in the kitchen or they changed their recipe without updating the menu. Also, the fries needed more salt. Still, we'll certainly dine here again and look forward to trying the dinner menu. ”
“ We went here last night while on the boardwalk for drinks and it ended up being Happy Hour! We had a mai tai and martini, both the drinks were made perfectly! Our bartender, Matthew, was so personable and friendly! We really enjoyed the views, food, and drinks! For food, we had the chicken skewers and tzatziki dip appetizers. We will definitely come back again when we are in the area! ”
“ We started with a cocktail that was a great pour. Note that we bar tender left us alone. I like service but despise when bartenders hover. Leave us alone to enjoy the experience. I might have eaten the most deliciously crispy chicken Milanese in my life with processed arugula. I loved the beautiful view as well- highly recommend this place. Grab a seat at the spacious bar or outside overlooking the ocean. Either way you have a great view. ”

“ This place is a great addition to the Asbury boardwalk! Take the elevator or stairs up to the 3rd floor, and you're taken to an elegant (but not over done for being by the beach) dining room with seating options outside with beach and boardwalk views. Our waitress Abbey was super friendly and helpful when it came to asking her opinion on what food to get, and was very attentive to my nut allergy. For example, their dance party espresso martini has pistachio in it but I was able to get a regular espresso martini. Both great! Food was also tasty. I recommend the Mediterranean salad with a chicken cutlet. The bread appetizer is pricey but totally worth it. It comes with a sun dried tomato oil that's amazing. Management is super friendly and checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. Go to the beach then check this place out! ”
“ We did NOT try to sit outside where everybody wants to be on one of the busiest weekends of the year 4th of July (though it is a beautiful view.) We sat where we were put (because hostesses have a rotation they need to follow,) next to the windows and it was still beautiful! They did accommodate us because the AC was dripping on the table given the humidity outside. Not the restaurant's fault, that's nature, and they were happy to scoot us to a table not under the system. Our server was perfectly attentive, had a great personality joking around with us, food and drinks came out quick (we were trying to get to a show at the Lanes,) and the drinks were perfectly strong. I got a normal margarita ($14) first that was balanced well, then opted for the fun Lost In Translation ($17) but I wish I could've taken that glass home! (See video) The food was INCREDIBLE!! We got the chef housemade bread (YES. GET IT! $6) I got the naan tacos (almost shredded chicken and yes the flavor is great without it being too spicy. $14) He got the oven roasted spiced wings that came with a cheese sauce below it that was so delicious we mopped it up with the bread. $18 The ONLY downfall is the fact the sandwiches and paninis are only available until 4pm. We wanted to try the chicken one. We will 10000% be back and I can't wait! Overall the night cost $93 (with tip,) which in today's world actually isn't bad for the quality of food and drinks. ”
