Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Monmouth Beach

Delicious food and impeccable service . I’m sure the view is beautiful too if it wasn’t a rainy winter evening . Highly recommend

Beautiful decorated for the Christmas season. Sat in the enclosed outer area. Service was excellent. Matt, our waiter was very attentive The sushi rolls (Smokey Mountain and Black Widow) were colorful and very tasty. The entrees, the Scallop + Shrimp combo plus the Branzzino over the Mushroom Risotto with a Lemon Butter sauce was wonderful. The scallops were perfectly cooked , juicy and reasonably sized. The Branzzino was nicely seasoned and paired well with the Mushroom risotto. The Christmas cocktails were decadent - if you like chocolate and had a sweet tooth, you’d love them. Over, a great experience at Rooney’s

Food and service exceptional. French onion soup and goat cheese fritters to start. Shrimp tacos and turkey Rueben delicious. Perfect holiday afternoon.

Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!

ALWAYS an outstanding meal, service & ambience. DC's dumplings are a must have appy! I'm hooked on their Lobster Risotto and Short Ribs but went out of my realm with their pork chop with extra Parmigiano Reggiano ~ absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for any occasion or just go for a delicious meal any time!!!!
