Best Cocktail Bars in Belmar

First time dining here, and it met up to all of the hype ! We ordered, and shared almost everything on the menu, and it was all AMAZING !! The attention to detail within their ingredients is second to none ! We will definitely be back !

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at 618 last night! We celebrated my best friend’s bachelorette, and it was truly an unforgettable evening, thanks to the incredible staff and attention to detail. From the moment I made the reservation, the manager, Frankie, called me to see how they could make the bride’s night extra special. And let me tell you, they went above and beyond! When we arrived, there were personalized welcome cards at our table featuring the bride’s theme, which was such a lovely touch. But the highlight was the custom drink they created just for her—complete with a picture of the bride in the drink! She was absolutely stunned and couldn’t stop smiling. It’s rare to feel so taken care of at a restaurant, but 618 truly made us all feel like VIPs. Our waiter, Marc N, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. He made sure we had everything we needed and kept the atmosphere fun and lighthearted throughout the evening. Frankie also stopped by to check on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect. The service here is truly top-notch! Not only was the food absolutely delicious (I’m still thinking about the dishes we had), but the entire team made the bride feel incredibly special, with everyone offering congratulations throughout the evening. I’m so grateful to everyone at 618 for making this such a memorable celebration. If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want a phenomenal dining experience, 618 is the place to be!

Went to see Ocean Avenue Stompers who have a residency there on Monday nights. Great band. Had a very nice dinner. I had the gumbo and my wife had a nice burger...great bengnets for dessert.

Jamie was an excellent server! Even offered his sunglasses as we were sitting outside. His recommendations were spot on! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

My entree was a very small portion of polenta and shrimp, about 6 shrimp on a bed of polenta. Not sure why it was called shrimp and grits. Also the shrimp had the tails on so I had to pull them out of the sauce to eat them. The service was ok, the waitress takes your order and bus boys do everything else.
