    Disappointing. Let’s leave it at that. Service was under staffed and no one asked how things were. So I just bit my tongue. They were quick to take the bill though.

    Though it was a busy Christmas Eve, our server, Haley, provided wonderful as did Paul and Arturo. My husband I shared the Beet & Arugula salad and Shrimp Cocktail. The sauce served with the shrimp was fabulous, spicy with a nice kick of horseradish. The salad was lightly dressed with a champagne vinaigrette along with goat cheese…yum. For entrees we ordered roasted pork tenderloin with mustard sauce and shaved Brussels sprouts along with the Braised Sort Rib over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we finished with Banana Tart. Food is consistently delicious and inventive.

    If you looking for fresh, innovative food creations, look no further than Brandl's in Belmar. This past Saturday evening, their seafood special was grilled grouper over red wine risotto with fresh asparagus. The fish was moist, tender and perfectly cooked as was the risotto. The red wine infused risotto was scrumptious and different.

    We enjoyed Brandl’s Restaurant week menu, which had a variety of choices not usually found on their regular menu. For starters, we had the tuna poke and crab cake. The poke was new and fabulous. The pickled vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha was delicious. I hope Brandl’s brings this back. For entrees, my husband and I both had the flounder. Two nice pieces of flounder were filled with a wonderful cream filling of spinach and feta over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, we ended with apple strudel with can ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake served with one coffee and a cappuccino. A few items on the special menu included pork tenderloin Wellington, pumpkin spiced potstickers to name a few. Overall, the food was outstanding with wonderful service.

    this was my husband's 85th birthday and he wanted a good steak dinner. We drove about an hour to Brandl, and it was definitely worth the drive--picture-perfect Fall day, outstanding food and service. We'd definitely do this again!!
