    Scratch Kitchen is a welcomed addition to the sometimes lackluster restaurants in the Jersey Shore area. At Scratch they show a respect for their diners from their exemplary service, table settings, written specials and presentation to the quality of the food served. It is also very nice to have a crusty bread service to accompany a meal that by its nature encourages “dipping”. The meal I enjoyed was the cod with cannellini beans along with an order of well seasoned potatoes. While cod can sometimes be bland, this dish was filled with delicious flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be sure to reserve when I return from Charleston SC in the near future.

    Excellent as usual, except, it was very cold in the dining area. Very uncomfortable. Guests were eating with their jackets/coats on.

    We went with another couple during restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised. Food, ambience, service, quality etc. very good. We’re sorry it’s a bit far or we’d have found a great neighborhood bar! Very nice and with parking!
