Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Monmouth Beach

There was an area wide power outage Thanksgiving Day during our visit so our food was some of the last to come out as this occurred. My monkfish was great, but needed more flavor, the prosciutto was crispy and tasty, mashed potatoes delicious, broccolini excellent. The restaurant was a little chilly overall, being a windy rainy day it should have been warmer. Excellent server Ray, greeted warmly when we walked in. Clams casino and lobster bisque were incredible. My husband got the lobster pie and loved it. Nice hot biscuits at the table were simple but so good as well. Overall an excellent outing even with the power outage, minimal lighting was on but it was mid-afternoon so not dark inside. We had Easter dinner here a few years ago and enjoyed it as well. Why don't we go more often!

The table was ready for us when we got there, the staff was friendly, the wait staff was excellent and the food was fantastic.

Elli’s is the best!! The service is always great and the food is amazing. You’ll love anything on the menu. The place is decorated for Christmas right now and you can tell so much detail and work went into it. If you’re looking for a place to bring your friends and family this is it!!

Haven’t been in a while and had a wonderful experience with outstanding service and food was incredible. I had Pasta and my husband had the Pork Chop. Both cooked to perfection! Won’t wait so long next time to return! Thank you Sirena!

We fell upon Saffron having walked by it last week and the smells coming from the restaurant were incredible! We went in not knowing what to expect and were so positively surprised! From the creative menu(burrata chaat is to die for!) to the beautifully appointed tabletop, the attention to detail was in every aspect of the restaurant. The owners came over to the table and were terrific as well. This is a MUST TRY!
