The menu is always diverse and unexpected, the service is fabulous - we especially love Veronica! - and the little extras enhance an already wonderful experience. We are sad to hear that they will be closing for the winter.

Consistent quality and creativity. As we head into the colder months, it is much easier to secure a table and definitely worth the journey to the Jersey Shore. read more Consistent quality and creativity.

The menu was not the same as what was online, it was very abbreviated. They had a prix fixe menu, 3 courses for $32+ . The portions were very small I guess due to the prix fixe menu. My appetizer (calamari) was actually more filling than my entrée (boneless short rib). My desert, (apple crisp with vanilla ice cream) was about the size of one scoop of ice cream. The portions were very disappointing to me and my guests. We actually went to a nearby pub afterwards for after dinner drinks and ended up ordering some apps at the bar. I may try Labrador another time since the food was so tasty but if that is the size of their portions normally, that will be the last time I go there. ALSO, if you go there in the winter, DO NOT accept a table along the windows. The drafts are terrible! We asked to move our table and they were very accommodating but I felt bad for all the women that were still seated at the windows wearing their coats throughout their dinner. Our interior table was very warm and cozy.
