    As always, the food was absolutely spectacular and so is the service. I wish they would open up a restaurant in the Manasquan area.

    A warm, lovely spot to eat. You can feel the history and taste the love that goes into the delicious food prep. Don't miss it if you visit or live in NYC. One drawback/negative ... in my reservation I wrote that I was bringing a friend we were celebrating her birthday. I thought there would be some kind of celebratory dessert provided as I've experienced in other establishments. There wasn't even an acknowledgement.

    From the moment we were greeted to the time we were given our coats back it was an A+ experience. The food was amazing, staff was friendly and the cocktails were delicious. We were there in a Friday night so we were even able to enjoy live music. Highly recommend for a date night, work event or a family get together.

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the beautiful Pearl restaurant at the Oyster Point Hotel. The view overlooking the river added to the charm of the setting. I had the lamb roll which basically was a French dip with lamb rather than beef. Without a doubt it was one of the most delicious lunches I’ve ever had. Fish and chips were also ordered at our table and it too was delicious. Our server was excellent. She recommended the lamb for which I was very grateful, checked back on us during the meal without being a nuisance. She was friendly without trying to become our new best friend as so many American waiters and waitresses do. We were able to stay as long as wanted without the staff trying to turn over the table for other guests. Her dessert recommendations were again delicious. This is definitely a restaurant I will return to.
