Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Ortley Beach

You can't go wrong here, especially if you're a steak lover. It's pricey for sure, but the service and food are both top notch.

First, our server Dawn was sensational! The celebration centered around my retirement earlier today, and Dawn couldn’t have been more excited and happy for me. Beyond that, our dry aged NY Strip Steaks were prepared perfectly, the creamed spinach and cauliflower au gratin were great complements to our entrees. Finally, my s’mores crème brûlée was magnifique! For my $$, The Chophouse is the finest steakhouse in New Jersey! Scenic views, beautiful interior, always friendly great service and spectacular cuisine. For the record, we’ve been customers there for 22 years and drove 90 minutes to enjoy this fabulous culinary experience… and we’ll, of course, be back! Thank you! ❤️

We had the best waitress food great great atmosphere Thank you

this is my second time dining at Labebe Prime since the rebranding and i’m even more blown away than the first time. This will definitely be our new celebration spot. first of all, i should mention that the dining room is completely redesigned and it is stunnning. the ambiance is intimate yet lively, and the vibes are impeccable. you truly feel like you’re dining out in the city even though you’re close to home. next up, the food. THE FOOD. it’s so good that it hurts. my wife and i ordered oysters, sushi hand rolls and the Spanish octopus to start. the oysters were truly the freshest i’ve ever had and i’ve eaten a lot of oysters, all over the world. the hand rolls satisfy any sushi craving and the octopus was flavorful and tender. the capers and olives add the perfect salty touch! 10/10 would order them all again! for our main courses, i got the stuffed Branzino and my wife got the cowboy steak. the Branzino was out of the world! flaky and well seasoned, with the crab meat stuffing stealing the show. the steak was cooked to perfection!! we will never order steak from anywhere else again. the quality of everything we ate, especially the steak, was top notch. it’s also worth mentioning the portions are huge! on to dessert.what can i say except everything was better than the last. we ordered the tiramisu and to our surprise the waiters came out with a full spread of tiramisu, the viral Dubai chocolate, gelato and seven layer cookies. Tony, the chef and owner, came over to let us know it was his treat to celebrate the occasion and honestly, i’d come here just for dessert. everything’s made in house which isn’t shocking considering how fresh it all was. the Dubai chocolate is so worth the hype and the gelato was so creamy and perfect. the tiramisu was light and fluffy and the cookies tasted just like the OG ones from brooklyn. Tony and his staff are true professionals and experts at their craft!

There were 4 of us. 3 of the 4 were very happy. One ordered the oxtail, taste was good but very fatty and hardly any meat. Disappointing.
