Favorite resturant in Highlands/Atlantic Highlands?
I love Bellas and Copper Canyon both. Doris and Ed's are fantastic, find a better lobster bisque in our area I dare you. Beyond that they have some of the best wine prices and that gets major points in my book. Even more they allow you to BYO on sundays. This alone severely reduces the cost of going out.
The Falls tinton falls
Former Grist Mill is now the Falls? Anyone have any info, menu? Opening date?
Djeet?
Djeet in Middletown, prepared foods and whatnot. I have driven by probably a thousand times and have not yet tried it. Any reviews?
Brunch Near Red Bank-No Brunches at Molly Pitcher
You could do a small private party at Bienvenue in Red Bank. I just did a wine dinner there which was amazing, summer truffle risotto, escargot, outrageous duck. Compliment that with some wines that you bring and it sounds like a great day to me.
Steamers on the shore
I love Sallee Tee's in mounmouth beach for steamers, good burgers too.
The Avenue in Long Branch, NJ
I had dinner there just last week and was extremely content. We started with a few cocktails. I had the red Paloma a blend of anejo tequila fresh grapefruit and agave nectar, very nice. My Girlfriend had their espresso Martini which they use the Patron Cafe, a very nice tough. We met another couple and cracked open a bottle of Jolivet Sancerre which was drinking amazingly well, light and crisp and truly a perfect summer wine. We paired that with some crab cakes and fresh oysters, how can you go wrong? We also tried their tuna tar tar which had a melon jus surrounding it. I enjoyed the tuna and the light sea salt, but I could have done without the melon, not so sure what they were thinking with that------not for me. They completely redeemed themselves with the scallops I had. Cooked to perfection with black trumpet mushrooms and an incredible risotto. After the second bottle we were stuffed and skipped dessert. I can't wait til my next visit. If they can maintain that level of service and quality of food I will assuredly be there soon.
Cask 591 - Long Branch - Closed!
I heard that Dennis, owner of Cask, was opening a restaurant with the owners of Sirena. In Asbury Park, but I am not entirely certain, it could just be a rumor, but we will see soon enough.
