Best Casual Restaurants in Manalapan

This was my second visit to Istanbul Bay and as with the previous time, the food was delicious, the service was top notch and the ambiance was wonderful

This place is a must. It’s a beautiful restaurant with rustic and modern to give you perfect ambience. Staff is like family. They remember you always and that’s something you don’t find everywhere. Food amazing. So many choices enough to make you return. So delicious. We ordered the Big Jumbo Scallops they were perfect. Rigatoni (GF) Chicken n Shrimp. Our friends had the Sunday Sauce and the Zuppa di Pesce. Their first time and will be returning. We had a great time!!! Thanks see you again soon.

Great food and service . Evening was enjoyable , not rushed

Another great weekend dinner at Solo! Brought our favorite wine and paired with special calamari and fried veal meatballs with ricotta for appetizers and veal Milanese and Pappardella Bolognese entries! Food was excellent and service was exceptional!

Last night, my lady and I had one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—especially from our waiter, Danielle, who went above and beyond to make our evening unforgettable. The food was beyond delicious, easily ranking among the best meals we’ve ever enjoyed. What truly blew me away was the thoughtful surprise from Danielle: champagne glasses to celebrate our anniversary. That personal touch made the night even more special. Honestly, this was one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had at a restaurant, and we’ll definitely be coming back.
