Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Tinton Falls

We had an amazing experience at 618. If I were to define it I would simply say… impeccable service! Elvin was extensively knowledgeable with all drinks, food and deserts. He knew exactly when to approach us for refills and when it was time for our next course. I like how attentive the staff was on clearing the tables and how we were greeted entering the restaurant and as we left. Now to the good part, the FOOD! Everything was exquisite. I would definitely recommend the meatballs as the small plate (appetizer) very savory and tender. We also had the short rib raviolis it was delicious as well but the meatballs were hard to beat. We had the skirt steak as one of the entrees and WOW that first bite was mouthwatering, perfectly cooked, crunchy yet tender and flavorful (you have to eat it with the sauces they provide on the side). We also had the halibut, it was so beautiful plated with the sweet potato pure and rice but it was a tad dry for my liking however the pure did help with that. The drinks were also beautiful presented, not too sweet and not watery if you know what I mean. For the desert we got the Chunky Monkey Brownie Sunday, surprisingly the banana ice cream was the perfect combo! Overall this is a place I would highly recommend to all of my friends and family.

We went back to try again for valentine's day. Our service was excellent (we had Chris our server from the first visit) Nino visited our table and was kind and gracious. The food was excellent. I had the grilled pork chop with sliced, slightly grilled, apples with a conac demi-glace and garlic mashed potatoes. My bf the spinach fettuccine dish. But plates were almost licked clean. We're definitely coming back. Well done!

The whole dining experience was outstanding. I would highly recommend!!

Great service, innovative food and creative drinks. Went for a prix fixe valentine day dinner and look forward to going back and having full menu to choose from.

We went for Valentines Day and didn't get a reservation until that day as our plans changed. They changed for the better. Restaurant surpassed our expectations. This was our first time visit. We had the Valentine's day special. Started with a half glass of wine each (which wasn't very special), followed by 2 appetizers both of which were perfect - Buratta, and Calamari. with the Buratta were 2 pieces of grilled eggplant which was done perfectly (could also get as a separate full plate appetizer. Main course was the Valencia Paella - perfectly done with plenty of chicken, sausage, shrimp and mussels (and a few scallops). Perfectly seasoned on a nice bed of rice that was cooked perfectly. Finished with one piece of Chocolate Tort cake (because the main meal really filled us up. The Tort was also delightful. We also had a glass of the red Sangria which was very good. Service was perfect with every detail dealt with but not intrusive. We never felt rushed despite it being a busy day. We had a 4:30 reservation but by 6, the place was filled and did get a bit loud but not too much. Interesting, no credit card fee on the bill. We will be back, everything was very impressive.
