Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Freehold

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.

The food tonight was outstanding. Our meal was enhanced by our knowledgeable server Kurt? (6’3” football player) He guided us through the menu with recommendations that were spot on and helped me with my Celiac gluten free needs. The bus service was absolutely incredible. My water glass was never empty and our table was serviced so seamlessly by the bus team. I thought the food might suffer a little tonight because it was Valentine’s weekend, but it was superb. My only complaint would be too many tables with people cutting through our table all night but I understand the restaurant needed to accommodate as many people as possible.

Loved our first time there! We consider ourselves "foodies," and can't believe there's a place this "yummy" so close to home! My ONLY suggestion would be to use plates that keep the food hot for as long as possible as we both felt that although the food was served hot, temps became cool quite quickly and I'm a pretty fast eater). Overall, FABULOUS and we will return!

We have been going to Metropolitan Cafe for over 20 years. We absolutely love their food, drinks and the ambiance.

First timer…definitely will be going back. Our server Laura was great, professional and attentive. Loved the decor. My husband and I both got the surf and turf (burger slider and lobster roll) The slider was cooked to perfection.
