Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ortley Beach

One of our favorite go to fine dining places. Our server Danielle was friendly & helpful with the menu & the evening specials. Cocktails stellar, roasted acorn squash soup which was a special appetizer was delicious!! Oysters organato excellent. Lobster tail & halibut entrees fabulous.

I reserved a table for 4 to celebrate my daughters birthday. The atmosphere was nice. The food was fantastic. Table was ready when we arrived. The prices were very reasonable. May I also add that our waiter Joe N. Was outstanding. He was extremely attentive, had a great sense of humor, and went above and beyond to make our dining experience unbelievable. Also the manager was also extremely attentive to everyone. I would definitely rate the restaurant and staff 10+

Wonderful dining experience! Our party enjoyed lobster bisque, coconut shrimp, seafood risotto, filet mignon & mandarin salmon.  Everything was prepared excellently! The lobster bisque was the best that we’ve ever had ! Rich and creamy with a healthy amount of tender lobster pieces. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Celebrating our anniversary and glad we chose Poached Pear. We ordered the octopus appetizer to share and it came with grilled shrimp. I was delicious. My wife ordered the halibut and I had the Ahi tuna with soba noodles. The portions were generous and the food was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed our meals and actually left with some to take home. It is BYOB, so we enjoyed the wine we bought with our meals. We were full from our dinners, so just ordered cappuccino and a coffee. The waitress brought over a complimentary vanilla gelato with a candle for our anniversary. O Ive a nice experience.

10/10 experience across the board. The ambiance was great, we were seated in another room away from the bar (which other reviews have mentioned) and the noise level was not an issue! Everything we ate was phenomenal and the service was perfect, cannot recommend this restaurant more. We came for our anniversary and they made it a very special evening.
