Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Bay Head

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our meal at scratch kitchen. We were in no for a wedding and wanted to try it out. The shrimp and grits were excellent and Mr fiancé really enjoyed his pork chop as well. We were getting on a plane the next morning and we so disappointed that we couldn’t take boxes with us to go to have the left overs the next day. I would recommend this place if anyone is going to be in the Jersey shore area. Great ambience and wonderful food. But make a reservation for sure !! I didn’t realize how small the dinning room was. I am glad I made a reservation instead of just popping in.

Mark and Scott are still producing top shelf dishes since they opened this gem. Went with a few friends (one for their first time) and we all walked out saying each meal was EXCELLENT. The server was knowledgeable and efficient. We shall all be back soon!

My husband and I had a 12/28, 6pm reservation. The restaurant seated us at 6 pm. The wine by the glass list is fantastic! I loved the Mahi, it was saved on a delicious savory sauce and grilled corn. The Mahi was done perfectly. My husband strip steak which he loved. Spinach side was very, very good. Our burratta eggplant appetizer was out of this world! Highly reccomended. The beet salad was very good. Generous portions! Service was perfect. The restaurant was about half full, the bar was "happening". No noise complaints from us.

When you step inside you are treated like a king and queen. The staff was so accommodating and the room was quaint. If you cherish a Victorian experience, then this is the place for you. The food was outstanding. We celebrated my son’s birthday who was born on Christmas. The entire room joined in to sing “Happy Birthday!” This made his day.

We do not normally go out on holidays. And are not fans of price fixed menus….we just like to order what we want but the menu and meal was phenomenal. Such a great experience. We did not feel rushed and Santa popped in!!!!
