When we look at Monmouth county as a whole then it is Pino's, 448 Rt 9 N, Marlboro. I am partial (my hubby is the chef), but the food really is excellant. Super fresh seafood and Black Angus prime steaks, and my all time favorite osso bucco, yum!
You need a reservation on the weekends and I love the entertainment offered six nights a week.; ▶ Reply to This

Does anyone else like this place? Maybe I'm missing something.; ▶ Reply to This

The kid who was serving us was apparantly having a bad night and took it out on us. Off to a bad start when two cups of tea came out cold and without tea bags. He snapped at my friend when she asked and then produced a box for them to choose from.

It was about 20 minutes before he took our order. And this is how he did so: he pointed to two of my friends and said "I'll start with you two"! It was so hard not to laugh. I was next, but he ignored me and skipped to the end of the table and then came back to me last. He was rude to everyone.

So one of us spoke to the hostess. She was very apologetic and did say she would speak to him, but nothing else was offered.

When the waiter came back he was so obsequious it was comical.

All in all pretty funny but not worth the trip or the so-so food on a stormy, rainy night.; ▶ Reply to This

Do you go to the Brick Wall. I love their food. Their shrimp with Parmesan grits, to die for.

Sorry your experience wasn't great. :(; ▶ Reply to This

Everything was prepared rather well, unfortunately alot of it was very old, (read unedible). As usual, we did not complain or send anything back, just sort of moved it around, trying to find something not old. Paid, left, won't go back. It was expensive, next time we will just go to the Shipwreck, much closer to home, not old food. BTW, we fought over the bathroom the entire next day:(; ▶ Reply to This
