    We had the absolute pleasure of dining at 618 for Valentine's Day and it truly exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful decor - the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern and elegant touches. But what really made my experience stand out was the exceptional service. Our server Nick was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to answer all our questions and make recommendations. He was prompt and efficient, refilling drinks and clearing plates with a smile. And then, of course, there was the food. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented. I was blown away by the quality and every bite was a delight. Overall, I would highly recommend 618 to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of stunning decor, outstanding service, and incredible cuisine makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a special night out.

    Harpoon Willie’s was absolutely fabulous. The service, the ambience, the food, were just great. After a lovely dinner, we sat at the bar and listened to some live music. Perfect ending to an amazing night. And the manager was outstanding. Matt couldn’t have been nicer. Highly recommend Harpoon Willie’s, whether for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Great place!!

    We had a lovely evening. The staff were friendly and timely when taking our orders and serving our food. The salmon and the Kansas City sirloin were delicious, as were our desserts of coconut creme brulee and lemon ricotta cheese cake.

    Fun beautiful restaurant in Asbury Park. My friend had the Caesar salad which looked very good. I didn’t have an appetizer but many good options to choose from I had the seafood fradiablo which was excellent and very flavorful. The zeppolies for dessert was the winner, fantastic. I would go back to Brando’s an enjoyable dining experience.
