Best Authentic Restaurants in Monmouth Beach

The food and service were both excellent, price for a table for two with two apps, two entrees, two drinks and two desserts (one taken off the bill for a birthday, which was unexpected!) came out to around $100/pp and it was well worth it. If I absolutely had to nitpick, the medium-rare filet had a bit of a char on the outside in places that gave it a partially crunchy texture in those areas. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Another great night at Buona Sera , from our greeting on entering , to our outstanding waiter Antonio to our meals. I have been coming here since they first opened and have never been disappointed . Chris ,Mike and the staff are always spot on .

Always a great meal with attentive service. Everything is made with fine ingredients and always fresh. The menu has many choices. The food is served hot, which is rare in most restaurants. Appetizers were excellent, especially their calamari. Portions are generous. I always look forward to dining here.

We always enjoy our time and meals at d'jest. The ambience is a modern, social vibe. As always, restaurants in strip malls can be deceiving. The farm-to-table selections, the close proximity to the semi-open kitchen, and the BYOB option make this a favorite choice for us. Someone in our party had the pork chop. with not a morsel left on the plate. I enjoyed the spaghetti squash bolognese...yum with fresh vegetables for the sauce. Another diner finished her pasta dish. As always, our server was friendly and welcoming.

Phenomenal experience! The food and service were both excellent!
