Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Asbury Park

Delicious food and impeccable service. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Always consistently excellent food is always cooked to order and the service is great Our server Kristen is always happy and a pleasure to be around We love Elli’s it’s our go to for a relaxing delicious breakfast or brunch

Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!

Once again, wonderful experience, host, staff, waiter all on point. Calamari, Buratta, meatball, pork chops, and branzini all cooked to perfection A longtime favorite, never a disappointment

We fell upon Saffron having walked by it last week and the smells coming from the restaurant were incredible! We went in not knowing what to expect and were so positively surprised! From the creative menu(burrata chaat is to die for!) to the beautifully appointed tabletop, the attention to detail was in every aspect of the restaurant. The owners came over to the table and were terrific as well. This is a MUST TRY!
