They automatically charge an extra 3% for credit cards even if you pay cash. We got the lobster pizza and for the price it was pretty sad. The was hardly any lobster and what was there was chewy. Sadly Red Lobster has a better tasting lobster pie.Definitely not worth it.
Very nice, upscale pub with a great selection of food and drink. Service was a but slow and our first order of garlic knots were burnt. Definitely worth a visit when in the area
I'd like to give a shoutout to Val’s Tavern in Rumson. It's a fantastic place to grab a bite and enjoy live music on the weekends. It’s also an ideal venue for hosting events! There's a private room upstairs, where we celebrated my 60th birthday along with a surprise wedding. The food was incredible, thanks to Chef Courtney. The staff was wonderful—very attentive and accommodating to all our needs. A special thanks to Timea John for her planning and for being such a great host. With delicious drinks, wonderful food, and the company of great friends and family, the party was a tremendous success, and everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend Val’s for any private event!
I attended a private party here, and everything was amazing. The food was delicious—hats off to Chef Courtney! The entire staff was exceptional, especially Timea John. I enjoyed the venue so much that I came back for drinks tonight. I will definitely return for dinner!
We truly enjoyed everything we sampled. The firecracker shrimp and artichoke francese were absolutely delightful. We also had a thin-crust pizza that was cooked to perfection. Courtney and Timea were both fantastic, checking in to make sure everything was to our liking. We will definitely be coming back!
