    Our entire visit was fantastic from start to finish! My family and I have been here before so we only have good things to say and positive experiences, and I was celebrating my birthday with my parents and everything was absolutely incredible. From the ambiance and beautiful Christmas decorations, to the service and delicious food it was an absolutely amazing experience. Matthew G, our waiter was fantastic and very attentive to our requests. Will definitely request him again. The food was out of this world and we will definitely be back again! My mom and I got the white cosmo and the lychee martini which are our new favorites. For food, we got the mac and cheese and the bolognese as an appetizer which were absolutely delicious. Then the main course; both my parents got the halibut and I got the 8 oz filet and it was out of this world. We topped off the night with the blueberry sorbet which was delicious! Whether you are an NJ native or just in town for a visit 618 in Freehold is a must!

    We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.

    We visited for my boyfriend’s birthday and everything was just perfect! Lovely ambiance, attentive staff, food came in a timely fashion. We ordered a few things but the Mushroom Pizza and Scallop Risotto were our favorites of the night. They also put his name on the board wishing him Happy Birthday which was a lovely touch. Thank you so much! We will be returning soon!!
