Best Romantic Restaurants in Keansburg

Being a local for many decades, I can always count on excellent food & service at the Molly Pitcher restaurant. And today was another stellar experience. Being early in Thanksgiving week we had a coveted window seat on the water. Lovely way to celebrate friendship & all good things!

Food and service exceptional! Paul our server was super attentive and the pasta vongole were delicious…cannot wait to go back again.

We had tickets for a 7pm show at the Count Basie Theater a block away so I made a reservation at Pazzo for 5:15pm for dinner before the show. We were seated a few minutes early which is always nice when you're in a time crunch. Once seated the waiter came over promptly and we proceeded with ordering our drinks, an appetizer and dinner. We did not rush anything and we were done with dinner and out the door by 6:15. The food was great as usual. We ordered mussels and lentil soup for an appetizer, chicken marsala and orichiette pasta w/ broccoli rabe for our entrees. I would definitely recommend Pazzo, but on a Saturday night you definitely need reservations!

Wonderful lunch with my friend here. Not rushed at all. Great service. Delicious food! Salads, pasta, seafood and wine. Decorated for Christmas in the first floor dining room across from smaller bar. Delightful ambiance! Highly recommend!

For us, this was a special occasion meal and the food and the service were top shelf. We were a little taken back by the sticker shock, but the drinks, steak, salad, lobster, and appetizers were so good, I can’t complain. However, we were very surprised by the dress of the clientele. People were wearing sweats and sneakers in what I consider to be a very expensive and high end restaurant. Our waiter Pierre was an absolute pro. This is not a place for me to frequent often but maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
