Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Long Branch

Maybe I’m picky, or my wife cooks too well, but this was the first time in a long time I haven’t gone out to eat at a restaurant and thought “…we could have made this better.” And for Valentine’s Day I kinda expected the service to suffer a bit, but the staff were great, everything came out well timed, and the food was phenomenal. Just an all around great experience, I would definitely go back.

Terrific food and service on the busiest restaurant night of the year (V-day).

I dined at The Grand Tavern last night with my wife and daughter. We selected our preferred location the bar to watch and talk to the expert mixologist, Erin, and the chefs’s magic in the kitchen. The real draw is the food, expertly prepared bistro food with a French flair, and the creative cocktails, as noted earlier. Dining at “The Grand” is an opportunity to go on a culinary adventure that elevates your mood and should not be missed.

We tried Brothers Daly for the first time last night and it was excellent! Our sever Jake mentioned he was new to serving but he did a great job. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made good recommendations, and was attentive but not over bearing. We ordered a few drinks, a bunch of apps, and split an entree. The soda bread was some of the best ive had and was not dry like the grocery store version. My husband said the french onion soup was one of the best hes ever had and all of our cocktails were delicious. Definitely adding this place to our rotation

On a warm November Wednesday evening my husband and I had dinner at The Marina. Cozy and quiet on the water with seating now indoors - summer seating outside closed. A lovely seasonal menu offered Autumn Salad, scallop and crab cakes entrees followed by chocolate panacotta- all beautifully prepared and delicious. We’ll be back again to enjoy other seasonal menu offerings from a wonderful chef.
