Strada
It was a foggy, damp Thursday night and most of First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands was winding down at the end of the day, but when we opened the door to Strada, a self-proclaimed pizzeria/bar, a party was in full swing.
MULE BARN TAVERN
Over the years I have run or biked from the entrance gate or the first parking lot to the tip of Sandy Hook and back, but obviously, never at night, so it was a unique experience to drive that same route in total darkness to find the newly opened Mule Barn restaurant/bar at the very end of “The Hook.”
CEVICHE HOUSE PERU
Some restaurants may feature a few of the most popular dishes from Peru, like ceviche, on their menus, but it is unique to find one that is dedicated solely to the full range of foods from that country.
Nunzio’s Pizzeria
Your eyes can tell you that there is no shortage of pizza places at the Jersey Shore. Most towns, even the smaller ones, are home to multiple pizzerias.
WELCOME FALL WINE DINNER
This group of wine lovers does not need much of an excuse to get together to share their wine with fellow winos!
The Polo Club
Does a luxurious restaurant décor make everything taste better, or does it raise one’s expectations for the meal to an impossibly high level?
SPRING LAKE SEAFOOD
No one is more passionate about fish and seafood than Chef Bradley Rodriguez. He wants to prepare, serve and sell fresh, sustainable, locally sourced fish in ways that maximize its potential.
GAIA BISTRO WINE DINNER
It had been far too long since a group of local wine lovers got together at an area restaurant to share a multicourse tasting menu paired with interesting wines from their own collections.
GAIA BISTRO
My recent visit to Gaia Bistro in Monmouth Beach, suggested by a friend, was one such occasion. No small part of the pleasure was in meeting and talking with the chef/owner Michael Tornillo.
Heirloom At The St. Laurent
As good as Chef David Viana’s Heirloom Kitchen in Old Bridge is, it’s not exactly a short ride from the Jersey Shore, so it’s more of a special occasion experience that is well worth the trip.
