Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

    I came here for my Birthday dinner. Had seen some social media posts and wanted to try it. The menu is somewhat limited (pub fair, steaks), and if you’re gluten free there’s no information about allergens on menu. The drink menu is also limited, most cocktails are gin based. If you’re looking for extensive choices this is not your place. My companion and I shared chicken wings as an appetizer (no dedicated fryer for GF, if that matters to you). He got the steak with fries and I got the shepherd’s pie. The shepherds pie was tasty, mixture of lamb and beef. We shared the one gluten free dessert (flourless chocolate cake). The dessert was basically a huge slab of cold ganache with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Yes we finished it! We sat near a window on a January evening and it was really cold, other diners even left their coats on. Also was very loud and even though we were seated in a small room, the sound was just bouncing off the ceiling. Overall an ok place but probably wouldn’t rush to go back with all the dining choices in Asbury Park.

    We went back to Black swan for Sunday Brunch. We enjoyed it so much the first time. Sadly we were greeted with a very limited menu with regular items we can get anywhere. Please bring back the Carbonara!! We know changes are needed but why replace such an amazing dish with a pork roll sandwich?!  Scotch egg was rubbery but flavorful. Bloody Mary pitcher is a must.

    We showed up early to have a drink before we sat down for dinner. Atmosphere was great and an excellent drink. We do tend on going to the bar next time for the Pub menu. Dinner setting was very nice. Staff was very pleasant and food was good and hot.

    So disappointing, a pub should be able to made a decent Shepard’s pie at the very least.

    Great night enjoying friends and delicious food! The host and servers were exceptional and the food was incredible. Every item across the menu had its own flare and showcased a plethora of flavors to choose from. 10/10 experience!
