Best American Restaurants in Colts Neck

Dined here before a show at Count Basie. Menu options were varied and appeasing to everyone, including the kids. Everything we ordered was delicious as were the drinks. Had to wait a bit for our food to be served but worth the wait. We will definitely be back!

We had another fabulous meal at 618! It was our first time dining since we had our baby a month ago and they made the experience very enjoyable! We had the snapper and rib eye specials which were awesome and we always start with the pork belly and meatballs but also tried the stuffed mushrooms this time which were delicious! Our server, Stephanie, had just started working there but you would’ve thought she had been there for years. She knew the menu perfectly and had great recommendations. She also sent over a mini night cap for a tired new mom which ended the night on the greatest note possible and was very appreciated! As always, we can’t wait to go back!

Excellent, our server was so sweet and attentive. The eggplant stack was a drop bland for me , but everything else was delicious

My nephew, who’s been a chef on private yachts for decades, was visiting and wanted to dine at an oceanfront restaurant to celebrate his dad (who passed awsy one year ago). We chose Rooney’s, never having eaten here before. We were not disappointed. The atrium, where we were seated, had a wonderful view of the ocean and the room was very comfortably heated, in addition to feeling spacious and elegant. We started with the baked artichoke appetizer…with a little more of the tasty bread, it could have been a meal! My vegan husband had the Spicy Rigatoni (unfortunately the only vegan option) which he said was great. I had the pan fried bronzini with sweet chili sauce. And even though I rarely like fish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides of mashed Gouda cauliflower and crispy Brussels sprouts were amazing. My nephew- chef loved the lobster roll…except for the fact the roll wasn’t toasted and buttered, which he felt was a real mistake. Overall, our experience was top notch. We will be back!

Menu was innovative and delicious! Service top notch. Only objection was that the kimchi with the tuna was way too spicy hot! We've had kimchi before, but this was something to not touch, or you would not be able to taste the tuna. Our waitress, Janice, had warned us ahead of time, but having had kimchi before, there was no concern. But this kimchi was unbearable! Janice was an outstanding waitress, answering questions and very attentive throughout the meal. She stated she would give the chef our feedback, and we trust that she did. All other dishes were fantastic!
