Best Brunch Restaurants in Asbury Park

It was a cold January Wednesday night, only a few people at the restaurant, but we were welcomed by the friendly staff and quickly felt cozy and warm. For apps we had the perfectly seasoned chicken wings and a Caesar salad with crispy quinoa…nice touch. Entrees included the salmon filet with cheese grits topped with parsley & fennel, a seared pork chop with a loaded potato (substituted the mashed), and finally the Mushroom Étouffée, which is a vegan dish with rice and Cajun Seasoning. No dessert, but a round of warm & sweet after-dinner drinks was perfect.

Excellent place- had been there for happy hour and tapas. Went there for brunch and it was delicious! We ordered a few traditional dishes and definitely recommend. The staff was friendly, engaging and professional- specifically, Reyes was a gem!

Our server Tyler was efficient , cordial , and just present enough. We went for brunch and the egg white ricotta pancakes were the best I have ever eaten. The burger my husband had looked outstanding. All this great food and gorgeous, panoramic views of the ocean make this a go to place if you’re down the shore.

Fantastic deep Mexican flavors in all the food they make The Bar offers Cocktails that are exceptionally good , best mezcal/tequila selection in town with a wonderful staff. The Roasted pork tacos pictured are my favorite at the moment 🔥

We went back to Black swan for Sunday Brunch. We enjoyed it so much the first time. Sadly we were greeted with a very limited menu with regular items we can get anywhere. Please bring back the Carbonara!! We know changes are needed but why replace such an amazing dish with a pork roll sandwich?!  Scotch egg was rubbery but flavorful. Bloody Mary pitcher is a must.
