Beach Tavern

"The restaurant is what I call beachy chic. It’s situated on the water in Monmouth Beach. When it’s warm out, the dock outdoor seating makes you feel like your on a tropical vacation as they bring in huge palm trees to line the beautiful, wide dock. The food is usually good. However I have been there and had mediocre food and service. They offer an array of seafood items as well as sushi. Their New England clam chowder is delicious, so is the mushroom flatbread pizza. I rotate between the burger and the ribs."

"I’ve been wanting to dine at beach tavern, unfortunately we were disappointed. It definitely has a great ambience. The hosts seemed unwelcoming upon arrival. When we got sat to our table, we were sat in the middle and not by the water. I politely asked if we can switch to a table by the water for the scenery. I wanted it to be extra special since we were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Nobody was there, only about 5/6 tables were occupied outside. So I didn’t think asking was a big deal. When I asked, unfortunately the response I got from the host was very rude. Seemed like it was the end of the world that I even asked. She said “I have to go back and check” with an attitude and sighed as she left. The food was also disappointing, we got the ribeye steak and halibut and both tasted so bland. The server was okay as well. Would give this place a 3 just for the ambience. ."

"My fiancé and I came to grab some appetizers and enjoy the nice weather! We sat outside in their outdoor oasis and it was such a vibe. The waterfront views, with the Miami pool side music, great food and drinks! We had the Thai calamari and the Buffalo wings, both were gluten free and I have so say definitely in the top 2 of best GF calamari around! Can’t wait to go back and get it again! They have a parking lot and also do valet which is nice!"

"So we went for dinner Sunday July 2nd. Took the boat down from the Hudson. Great experience. The palm trees drinks and music were great. We had a group of 7 and enjoyed a variety of rolls on the deck. Service was prompt and we had a great time. So much so that we drove the boat back down for lunch the next day. I would have loved to give 5 stars across the board but our lunch was a major disappointment. So we had what seemed like a newer waiter. That's fine and we could understand that but our lunch was very long and after taking our order he never came back for over 30minutes. I saw him on the way to the restroom and asked him to stop by the table. No drinks. Nothing. He even forgot to bring drinks that were ordered. Very poor experience. This place isn't cheap - when you're paying top dollar for food you kinda expect a little more."
