Best Live Music Restaurants in Tinton Falls

Had a fabulous time. The food was amazingly delicious, we shared an order of the calamari as an appetizer, wow, the sweet chili sauce was great. I had the short ribs as an entree my husband had the surf n turf, so much food took home a huge doggie bag. We shared a piece of cheese cake with salted caramel sauce on it. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere and service was on point! Our waiter Cory was very helpful in our selections and extremely attentive to our needs. 5 stars!!

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.

Not our first time at Triumph and we always enjoy ourselves. Atmosphere is always great as is the food. Last night was perfect, our service from Shea was outstanding, the manager and assistant manager excellent. And the food of course was delicious!

Yet again another great Blu Grotto experience! Entrees veal chop Milanese ( perfectly cooked and huge) and special ink squid pasta with assorted seafood ( clams, mussels, calamari and lobster chunks- in a wonderful seafood broth. Amazing. Dessert shared hazelnut torta caprese- dreamy. We love Blu Grotto! Great wines by the glass ! Great service.

618 is one of our favorite local restaurants. We dine there at least once a month (our waitress, Alexis, told us that we have dined 25 times so far). Alexis, our server, was friendly and helpful. She greeted us with a smile and took our drink order. The meal began with a basket of delicious bread with butter and sea salt. I opted for my favorite cocktail, the Spicy Boi. It's made with Reposado Tequila, Ancho Chile, and passion fruit juice. It has the right mixture of sweet, refreshing, with a spicy kick. We opened our meal by sharing a lobster tostada appetizer from the specials menu. Chunks of lobster tossed with pickled onions, pineapple, queso fresco, served over a crisp tortilla. For entrees my wife had the 8 oz Filet Mignon and I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. Both were perfectly cooked. Looking forward to our next visit.
