Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

    Went with family for a birthday dinner. The food was phenomenal and our waiter gave us complimentary dessert for the occasion which was really nice! The drinks and ambience were also a 10/10.

    We enjoyed our dining experience at the Black Swan. The food was quite good and the service was good as well. We went on a Tuesday evening in late September so it wasn’t too busy.

    Asbury Park is a disaster for parking. I literally drove around for 20 minutes and the restaurant said they gave our reservation away. The manager was understanding though and found us a table. The only thing upsetting was the way the hostess initially handled the situation and spoke to my wife.

    Unfortunately the prime rib sandwich was too salty and It took a long time for the replacement burger which was overcooked. Very disappointing

    I googled and was we were very excited to have dinner here while spending a few days here in Asbury . The overall experience was very underwhelming and extreme disappointing and this is an honest review. We ordered hummus platter -it was ok Diet Coke -flat Onion soup -cold and cheese was hardly melted . Wedges salad-no wedge -chopped and overload with dressing. Prime rib-bottom of barrel and worst ever. Bathroom was filthy. I gave Gwen in Duce bars that were cleaner. Waiter was ok . Only bright spot were the Guinness beers live and learn and will never return or recommend
