Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Bay Head

Best Anniversary Dinner and setting ever! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

We had another fabulous meal at 618! It was our first time dining since we had our baby a month ago and they made the experience very enjoyable! We had the snapper and rib eye specials which were awesome and we always start with the pork belly and meatballs but also tried the stuffed mushrooms this time which were delicious! Our server, Stephanie, had just started working there but you would’ve thought she had been there for years. She knew the menu perfectly and had great recommendations. She also sent over a mini night cap for a tired new mom which ended the night on the greatest note possible and was very appreciated! As always, we can’t wait to go back!

We were very pleased with the delicious meals we had. We were a party of eight. The owner of the restaurant served us herself as it was quite busy. She welcomed us warmly and explained all specials clearly. Our meals were terrific and we had a pizza appetizer. We even got to meet the chef! At the end, I was given a gift certificate for our next visit as a birthday gift. We will definitely go back.

My nephew, who’s been a chef on private yachts for decades, was visiting and wanted to dine at an oceanfront restaurant to celebrate his dad (who passed awsy one year ago). We chose Rooney’s, never having eaten here before. We were not disappointed. The atrium, where we were seated, had a wonderful view of the ocean and the room was very comfortably heated, in addition to feeling spacious and elegant. We started with the baked artichoke appetizer…with a little more of the tasty bread, it could have been a meal! My vegan husband had the Spicy Rigatoni (unfortunately the only vegan option) which he said was great. I had the pan fried bronzini with sweet chili sauce. And even though I rarely like fish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides of mashed Gouda cauliflower and crispy Brussels sprouts were amazing. My nephew- chef loved the lobster roll…except for the fact the roll wasn’t toasted and buttered, which he felt was a real mistake. Overall, our experience was top notch. We will be back!

It was our first time here and it won’t be the last. The food was fresh and delicious. John our server was attentive and always very pleasant and friendly. Looking forward to many more meals at Stefano’s.
