Need restaurnt rec ASAP - Ocean County

We are taking MIL out for her birthday (a big one) and wanted to go to a nice restaurant for about 7 people. I booked a place in red bank, but since its a weeknight, and everyones coming from further south, this might not work. We'd like a really nice place thats cost efficant. Even something fun, like dinner theater, or just a nice place woudl be fine too (more italian, american food). Thanks so much!

Re: Need restaurnt rec ASAP - Ocean County

  • I am on the border of Ocean/Monmouth

    Sadly I dont have any favorite places in Ocean other then 709 in Point Pleasant but I dont know if that is what you are looking for

    In Monmouth I would suggest Shipwreck Grill in Brielle, Firefly in Manasquan, Langoste Lounge, Fish,  Moonstruck, Stella Marina all in Asbury Park. Tulipanos in Belmar is also very good since you asked for Italian as is Lubranos in Wall.  

  • BeachBaby- My cousin owns Tulipano's in Belmar.  That's a good place for 7 people.  
  • Whispers in Spring Lake- intimate but pricey, Moonstruck, Stella Marina- both Asbury. We always go to Due Amici in Brielle- we do big family dinners there. It's good- they have some cheesy guy playing the piano, not too expensive. Buono Sera in Red Bank.

  • i second due amici- the food is always good. you should be fine with 7 people on a weeknight, but i would call ahead, just in case.

    i dont find the piano guy cheesy at all!

  • Stella Marina in Asbury Park is great and they also have a "sister" restaurant in Long Branch - Serena - both are on the ocean.  Steall Marina is a bit louder and Serena is a table cloth type of place - both great food and same menu

  • Lubrano's in Wall is a great choice. The food is amazing! If you go get the grilled pizzed and spicy garlic shirmp appetizer. YUMMY! You will not be disappointed!
