Best Seasonal Restaurants in Atlantic Highlands

Being a local for many decades, I can always count on excellent food & service at the Molly Pitcher restaurant. And today was another stellar experience. Being early in Thanksgiving week we had a coveted window seat on the water. Lovely way to celebrate friendship & all good things!

Our party of six really enjoyed our evening at Rum Runner. Our server was terrific (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) - professional, friendly. The cocktails and wine were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers (ahi tuna nachos & jerk chicken lettuce cups), and the entrees were very good. My only critique was that my Betty salad with sesame ahi tuna was drenched in dressing. Other than that, a terrific evening at a beautiful venue.

It was great. Reservation was easy, and help I needed about the table was well resolved. The food was amazing as always. We had the round table in the corner and the noise was not a problem.

Excellent as usual, except, it was very cold in the dining area. Very uncomfortable. Guests were eating with their jackets/coats on.

For us, this was a special occasion meal and the food and the service were top shelf. We were a little taken back by the sticker shock, but the drinks, steak, salad, lobster, and appetizers were so good, I can’t complain. However, we were very surprised by the dress of the clientele. People were wearing sweats and sneakers in what I consider to be a very expensive and high end restaurant. Our waiter Pierre was an absolute pro. This is not a place for me to frequent often but maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
