Nice/higher end restaurants
Fancier, bougie, elegant, classy
Wow this place is a hot spot. The food is absolute phenomenal-the chicken tenders and rice balls are out of this world. The steak was beyond juicy, flavorful and tender. The music was really bumping, great music, I couldn’t help myself from dancing h...
Madison Modern Social - Old Bridge NJ
The food, the vibes, the service- it’s all top tier. I haven’t stopped thinking about the best braised short rib I’ve ever had at 618. The crowd is a mix of 20s-50s, but it has a very classy and aesthetic vibe. My number one on my must try in New Jer...
618 Restaurant - Banquets
Total luxury vibes with great food and great service. Located in old bridge New Jersey, it’s a must try! (Really good drinks too)✨🥂

Shore side/dock front places to eat!
Shore side restaurant in Monmouth beach. I’m obsessed with going here in the summer. If you love seafood this place is for you. Their other food is also fabulous but they’re best is their seafood. It’s so beautiful with the fairy lights and palm tree...
Beach Tavern
Definitely more of a chill shore side restaurant. Right by the docks, you get a great peak at everyone’s boats hehe. One of my fav go to places in the summer during the day because it has good food, but it’s not fancy so no need to dress up.🌊✨
Marina Grille
Such a gorgeous view wow. I love coming here in the summer. The white interior gives it such a beachy yet classy vibe. Their breakfast is unreal. My favorite is going early and eating breakfast in front of the water😌🌊
The Promenade Waterfront Grill
Right on long branch beach- but it feels tropical in the summer. It’s a fan favorite because it’s the whole package. The view is unreal, the food is so memorable especially their seafood, their service is great, and the vibes are so summery. Watching...
Rooney's Oceanfront Restaurant
It’s quit literally on the water. Like you sit and eat on the dock above the water. Their palm trees, and white, brown and blue color scheme made me feel like I’m in Greece. There’s a dj even during the day time and it feels like going to have a nice...
