Best Modern European Restaurants in Long Branch

Donna’s is quite simply the greatest spot to eat in the city. The Sunday roast was the perfect treat on a snowstormy Sunday, but any day, any meal, any item, it’s all the best.

We went on Valentine’s Day. They had a set Keanu which was a good value however only allowed for one app, one Main and dessert. Would have much rather more courses.

First time trying it. Went for Valentine's Day and for the live music. Very happy with everything. Music was great and dining was fantastic. Service was friendly and accommodating. The portions were good enough where there were no leftovers but we weren't overly stuffed. I had the Beef Carpaccio and the Osso Buco. Both were delicious. I would definitely go again. Its hard to find a fine dining restaurant with live jazz or any other music. Most are Trendy hipster bars. The singer was really good, I don't know his name but we enjoyed it. Wish I could find a female Jazz singer in a fine dining atmosphere.

Exquisite. A superlative and welcoming experience. A gastronomic delight. The chef and his team were outstanding.

The food was a good value. We can in to celebrate a birthday (as indicated on the reservation), but nothing was acknowledged by the waiter. He seemed a little distracted and was not attentive to our needs. We had the short ribs, ossobuco, pasta special and the salmon. The food came out hot, but took awhile to arrive (30 minutes). It was quiet that evening and (perhaps) the waiter was at the end of his shift. I guess I expect “better service” considering the increase in “tip culture”.
