    First time dining here, definitely will be back again! The service was top notch, cocktails and food were outstanding and the ambience was beautiful. The entire restaurant is currently decorated for the Holiday season, each room different. We had crab cake, lentil coconut soup, monkfish and rib eye. Everything was made to perfection!

    Scratch Kitchen is a welcomed addition to the sometimes lackluster restaurants in the Jersey Shore area. At Scratch they show a respect for their diners from their exemplary service, table settings, written specials and presentation to the quality of the food served. It is also very nice to have a crusty bread service to accompany a meal that by its nature encourages “dipping”. The meal I enjoyed was the cod with cannellini beans along with an order of well seasoned potatoes. While cod can sometimes be bland, this dish was filled with delicious flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be sure to reserve when I return from Charleston SC in the near future.
