    From the time I sat down till I left everything was excellent. From the view to the food and hospitality. Everyone has a smile which makes you feel welcome. First time here. Won’t be the last.

    I have been to Bahrs Landing many times. It was a special occasion and the staff accommodated me by providing me with a nice window view to look out at the water. I appreciate that there were no stairs to negotiate as both of my parents are older. The food was excellent as always - the stuffed flounder with crabmeat never disappoints! Our server, Nicole, was excellent and the atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon was nice - full tables, but not too loud to have a nice conversation at the table. I will definitely be back! This place is a little slice of heaven to me!

    Bahr's Landing is one of the few original nautical-style seafood restaurants in New Jersey. The food has always been high quality, and the decor keeps the history of the area alive. The atmosphere is beautiful, with windows overlooking the Navisink River and the Atlantic Ocean a short distance away. There is outside seating, but we stayed inside because of the wind. Our waitress was extremely helpful and notified us that she had an intern working with her. Both women were well-versed in the menu and made suggestions when needed. Our entrees included an ahi tuna sandwich on a brioche bun, a flounder sandwich, and a flounder entree. The three of us shared a crispy basket of fried calamari. If looking for an incredible Bloody Mary, this is the place! I would recommend Bahr's Landing if you were looking for fresh seafood and great atmosphere.

    Bahr’s Landing has been our celebration place since 2017 when we got engaged. The food is just as good today as it was 8 years ago. Even though it was a bit loud on a Saturday evening and I’m guessing our waiter was newish, still one of our favorite places to dine!

    Lovely Easter setting on the Navasink River. My husband had scallops, and I had a broiled lobster, both were delicious. The service was excellent. I would recommend this resto everyone. My family has been going there since 1980.
