Restaurants near Monmouth University

Full experience was wonderful from start to finish. Service superb, relaxing atmosphere, delicious food and great ocean views. Our server Isaac delightful.

As I have enjoyed lunch at the AP Rooftop 4 times in 6 weeks, guess you can say I am a regular. The staff is friendly, accommodating, warm, and welcoming. Brian makes the best very chilled martinis in town. The ambiance, creative menu, and terrific food make this the place to go!

Lovely spot. Great service. Cocktails are delicious and the food was delicious.

My wife and I have been going to Rooney's for years in October to celebrate our anniversary. The 5 star rating is the reason we keep coming back. The food was spectacular - from the calamari appetizer to the Halibut dinner (you have to get the cheesy cauliflower rice side - I would eat that as a meal by itself). Our waiter James took excellent care of us and for dessert, they brought out a board with the words "Happy Anniversary" written in powdered sugar. Besides the beautiful ambience of being on the beach in Long Branch, the service is always impeccable, and the staff is very friendly, and we look forward to being back there soon. We have also enjoyed their Brunch and we look forward to going back soon!!

This was our first opportunity to dine at Trama's. We were in the neighborhood and looked for an upscale dining experience on Open table. As I write many reviews, I also read them, using the score as a guide to choose a restaurant. Here the reviews were quite positive so I did not hesitate. We were very happy with Trama's. First impressions are lasting, so when the bread arrived, I was happy to see it was a quality panella . The tricolore salad was crisp, plentiful and dressed perfectly. We enjoyed the eggplant parmesan appetizer, as the slices were thick and eggplant was detectable, not all breading. The marinara was bright and flavorful. The only disappointment was my half of the serving had very little mozzarella. Branzino (crisp skin) and Ahi tuna entrees were both delicious. Our servers were friendly and competent and they spaced our courses perfectly. I really appreciated that our coffee came out in warmed 2 cup dispensers. I always love a second cup of coffee and I never had to ask, I just had to pour it! It was a great evening. Thank you Trama and staff.
