    Great restaurant! So many plain old pizza joints. Here you have a restaurant that makes u feel like u r special. A hidden gem. People must think it is just for banquets and not for the general public. Views are fantastic and food is excellent and staff is great!

    My fiancé and I really enjoyed our meal at scratch kitchen. We were in no for a wedding and wanted to try it out. The shrimp and grits were excellent and Mr fiancé really enjoyed his pork chop as well. We were getting on a plane the next morning and we so disappointed that we couldn’t take boxes with us to go to have the left overs the next day. I would recommend this place if anyone is going to be in the Jersey shore area. Great ambience and wonderful food. But make a reservation for sure !! I didn’t realize how small the dinning room was. I am glad I made a reservation instead of just popping in.

    This is my new favorite restaurant. Love the charming rustic decor. I feel like we’re in the Pennsylvania countryside when we’re here. The service is phenomenal, the server and the support staff are there whenever you need them. Very friendly and attentive. Now, the food. Absolutely delicious. Best rice balls ever. Honestly, I never liked rice balls until these. Crispy, cheesy delicious! All the salads are exquisitely composed. The way the greens are sliced and perfectly dressed. We had the tricolore with roasted butternut squash (finely chopped) with crispy shallots and cider vinaigrette. I’d had the halibut with lobster cream sauce and lump crab last week, which was a large fresh piece of flaky moist fish. Someone at the next table had the shrimp scampi and I already knew I had to try it this time. It was without question, not even close, the best shrimp scampi of my 50 years. The sauce was the perfect combo of wine lemon and butter. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh, the Brussel sprouts side is also a standout. Dessert, don’t bother looking at the menu- just get the graham cracker gelato with a cappuccino, You’ll thank me later; I promise.
