Decided to try BR for a late dinner Friday nite. We got seats at the bar across from the barware wash station.First, we ordered glasses of wine, and after ordering, and waiting for 25 minutes, we had to ask to be served again. Our bartender was busy texting, and never brought us the glasses of ice water, we asked another bartender. We noticed 3 bartenders, just standing around and not clearing the counters around us, and then the barware continued piling up. There was no more room for the servers to drop off dirty glasses. There were at least 3 people who looked in the washer, which was empty, but never loaded it. Finally a tall guy shows up and begins to load the glassware. You could tell he did not want to be there. A manager finally came over and addressed the situation, and now the mess begins. The washer would place clean glasses amongst the dirty glasses. Another guy appeared and proceeds to place dirty and clean glasses in the overhead holder to make room on the counter. We were not the only ones who noticed. We then watched as the washer would reload clean glasses, without even checking. The food was then served and prepared incorrectly, and at this point we wanted to leave, as we had lost our appetite.We have crossed this place off our list, and there are plenty of options elsewhere.

Tried this place for the first time on our way home from a trip. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves so how could the service be bad right? We ordered an appetizer to split the I got the salmon Mac n cheese and broccoli. My husband got a sliced filet mignon sandwich with Mac n cheese. The appetizer never came. Our dinners came out. My husbands meet was rare he had asked for it medium. The broccoli was pretty much raw. The drink I asked for was not very good. Def did not taste like top shelf vodka. I was disappointed

Asbury's premier beachfront gathering spot. Part sophisticated drinkery and tapas bar, part music lounge and social club, Watermark's environment is contemporary yet comfortable, refined yet relaxed, upscale yet inclusive.

Visited with a friend who I havenât seen for awhile. Beautiful space with unusual lamps on the ceiling, large windows and stunning views of the ocean and an incredible sunset sky. Waiters were attentive and the hot spinach and cheese dip with chips was delicious. Large couches , upright high top seating facing the windows and a regular bar area. Also an outdoor seating area , weather permitting and an indoor fireplace area . Great music and a great evening , capped off by a walk on the boardwalk!

Just steps away from the Great Auditorium in picturesque Ocean Grove, the Starving Artist is a highlight of a trip to Ocean Grove.

Great location, service very good and our breakfast were delish! My daughter loved her French toast and bacon. I had the omelette special: goat cheese, arugula and suns dried tomatoes.. had to get the biscuit and yes! It was delish smeared with the cinnamon butter. Plenty of choices here.. you will notbe disappointed! Staff very pleasant. My daughter approves and wants to bring her daddy back!

Great experience and the best pizza around. I visited this place many times and had never been disappointed. Different pizzas, one better then the other one but they all outstanding. Also, try their toasts and salads with bread because their bread is simply delicious. Too bad they don't sell bread to go. Strongly recommend and I will be back once in the area.

Every time I have visited Ocean Grove, I have eaten here. It's a little pricey, but worth the excellent food and lovely ambiance, whether outside or in, with the lovely fish tank...

Went here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant on the Avon Boardwalk that serves a great seafood dinner! Most boardwalk restaurants offer typical boardwalk fast food, this is not one of the those places!First of all it is located inside the Avon Beach Pavilion on the boardwalk with absolutely great ocean and beach views!Second of all, the food is fantastic without being pretentious! We shared their sangria marinated watermelon salad which was refreshing and savoury!For my main course I had the flounder sole franchise with linguine, delicious!The staff is professional, friendly and attentive.Lastly, as mentioned earlier, the ambiance of the surf and beach adds tremendously to the experience!Only a couple minor dings. First it is a BYOB establishment and they do not advertise that on their website, but easily rectified by a quick drive to Bradley Beach for wine or beer. Secondly, they do not accept reservations. It is a first come a first come, first on the list for the restaurant: which is a testament to their service and food! Lastly, they are only a seasonal establishment opening on Motherâs Day and closing the week after Labour Day.Great experience and hope to return this weekend.Thumbs up!

A nice diner/deli with a large menu. Had a big breakfast. The bagel was very fresh and huge. I would like to try it again if I ever find myself in the area and explore the rest of the menu

We still feel that this is our favorite restaurant. We have never had a bad meal. Service is always exemplary. Last night we were two couples. We had a lovely table on the 2nd floor and Ed was our waiter. He certainly did look after us. He's very professional and knows every item on the menu. He helped make suggestions. The Village Greek salad was yummy. and we shared it. I had the duck which was the best. My husband had the porterhouse pork chop which he loved. My friend had the Bronzino filet which she also loved. Our wine and martinis were perfect as well. Ambience is lovely and noise level was low. We couldn't have asked for a nicer evening. Parking in Asbury is still a hassle but going there for dinner is still so worth it. Bravo to Moonstruck!
