Beach Tavern in
Monmouth Beach (NJ)

Great location! Terrific drinks! Happy hour is wonderful! Need to go back for dinner!

Beach tavern had given me and my husband such a great experience. I came here today for lunch the hostess outside was wonderful to us and gave us a beautiful table on the water. Food was great and our server Abby (I believe her name was) was such a sweetheart. Overall, it was a great experience!!

Beach Tavern is one of my go-to spots in Monmouth Beach—especially for the sushi. It’s always super fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and on point, and you can tell the management really cares about the whole experience. Great vibes, great food, and just an all-around awesome place to hang out.

This restaurant just keeps getting better and better! For those who know me that’s a powerful! I was there yesterday and had some of the best food on the Jersey Shore. The grilled Tuna sandwich is world class, even surpassing Anjelica’s. I also had a Broccoli sashimi in a teriyaki sauce that had flavors you dream of. The most interesting part of the meal was our waiter Thomas.perfect service from a very pleasant and professional young man. We started chatting and he was telling me how he and a friend developed the most intuitive app I’ve ever seen, which really and truly impressed me. It’s called “Zibt”. It’s a personal assistant that improves one’s efficiency tremendously! Beach Tavern has everything! Palm trees, nice music, delicious food and great people! I very highly recommend Beach Tavern! This is the restaurant you’ll be raving about to all your friends.

We love it!! Beautiful and refreshing place to spend the afternoon. Drinks were amazing, and the food was good too.

Been here before, always very good as was this last visit. I was taken back by the small portion when my entree arrived. Another bacon scallop and a bit more risotto would have been nice!

Love this place! Off the beaten path in Monmouth Beach/Oceanport. Great views, vibes and food. Great place for a nice family meal or night out with friends. Both inside and outside experiences are great… drinks are flowing and the employees are on it. A regular spot for us!

oysters and calamari were great and so were the drinks! i ordered the steak frites and asked for medium rare. please look at the picture and let me know if you've ever seen a medium rare steak cooked to smitherines. looks like my great aunts ashes. anyways the manager came back aggressive and tried convincing me this was medium rare- didnt want to argue at all so i had a few dry brittle bites and thats all. now you get this google review! just order seafood here because they dont know how to cook meat and will try to convince you its cooked perfectly!

This spot is very nice. Especially for a warm sunny day (bring your sunglasses). Plenty of outdoor tables right on the marina. Water, boats and palm trees were a nice vibe. Service was great but the food and drinks fell a bit short. The Lycheello and the Peach Tavern weren't the best drinks I've ever had in this category. But as far as apps you can't ever go wrong with Calamari with the sweetness and spiciness of Thai chili sauce. The Brussels Sprouts were well dressed in balsamic but they were a bit overdone. The grilled octopus was great! I heard the oysters were great. As far as lunch goes the dry-rubbed ribs were bland. I guess I prefer BBQ sauce instead. The coleslaw was fancy but lacked flavor. And believe it or not the French fries lacked flavor. I dipped them in ketchup and it wasn't your typical ketchup. It was more like plain tomato sauce. The tres leches looked great but were also lacking. However, the cheese cake was good and the cookie lava cake was great! Despite it all, I would come back and try other menu items. I did order outside my usual picks.

We enjoyed Beach Tavern for their chunky Maine Lobster with crunch celery on a toasted brioche bun (with a side of fries), paired with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and pretty views of the Shrewesbury River. Friendly service and the beachy chic decor added to the experience. In the summer, they open up the back patio for alfresco dining, as well as their dock and dine area.

Food was great our server Anthony was great and hustling to keep his tables happy! Great Waiter and service. A bit loud all around if you have sensitive ears but nice views. Will return.

Beach Tavern is an amazing experience. Great views on the deck, and even better food and drinks. I recommend the hot honey fried chicken, great flavor, large portion, and a nice piece of cornbread on the side. The margaritas were great, good amount of casamigos worth the price.

We decided to grab dinner here last minute and we really enjoyed it! For appetizers my husband ordered New England clam chowder while I ordered the lobster bisque - both were very large portions with tons of fresh clams and lobster chunks. We also split the garlic steamed clams which were delicious. For entrees, I ordered the salmon while my husband ordered the steak frites; everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. We finished off with both raspberry and mango sorbet for dessert. Our server was attentive and personable. There was also live music offering a great ambiance. We can’t wait to come back for another great experience!

The restaurant is what I call beachy chic. It’s situated on the water in Monmouth Beach. When it’s warm out, the dock outdoor seating makes you feel like your on a tropical vacation as they bring in huge palm trees to line the beautiful, wide dock. The food is usually good. However I have been there and had mediocre food and service. They offer an array of seafood items as well as sushi. Their New England clam chowder is delicious, so is the mushroom flatbread pizza. I rotate between the burger and the ribs.

First of all if you reserve you get table inside ONLY! That’s crazy because in many seafood ? restaurants I was they usually offer you in or ours Inside was so darn cold with Airconditioner on that next day we had sore throats. Inside I did not like also the decor. I wanted to sit outside but it was too long waiting time. Second of all if you come just for drinks and want to sit outside - you get tables near parking lot and not near the water. Third of all about the food. We came celebrate our anniversary and place is not cheap. Food was just ok. My halibut was very dry (overcooked), had not enough sauce but rice was very good. Calamari also came with a bit sauce on top and we requested to bring more of sauce. I like our servant but it was slow so slow. The bar itself also was small and faces parking lot. I will not come back. I would drive more south and have better quality food with less money and tables near the water guaranteed. So experience was disappointing and we decided to walk near marina and made lots of nice pics :)

I’ve been wanting to dine at beach tavern, unfortunately we were disappointed. It definitely has a great ambience. The hosts seemed unwelcoming upon arrival. When we got sat to our table, we were sat in the middle and not by the water. I politely asked if we can switch to a table by the water for the scenery. I wanted it to be extra special since we were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Nobody was there, only about 5/6 tables were occupied outside. So I didn’t think asking was a big deal. When I asked, unfortunately the response I got from the host was very rude. Seemed like it was the end of the world that I even asked. She said “I have to go back and check” with an attitude and sighed as she left. The food was also disappointing, we got the ribeye steak and halibut and both tasted so bland. The server was okay as well. Would give this place a 3 just for the ambience. .

Went with a group of six last night. Atmosphere is incredible. Inside has a beautiful beach feel, and the Long dock outside filled with tables, Palm Trees and lighting down to the end of dock is so elegant. Food was Great. Sushi was delicious, two friends had the pork chops which were prepared to perfection. Service was on point. We'll be back !!

My fiancé and I came to grab some appetizers and enjoy the nice weather! We sat outside in their outdoor oasis and it was such a vibe. The waterfront views, with the Miami pool side music, great food and drinks! We had the Thai calamari and the Buffalo wings, both were gluten free and I have so say definitely in the top 2 of best GF calamari around! Can’t wait to go back and get it again! They have a parking lot and also do valet which is nice!

So we went for dinner Sunday July 2nd. Took the boat down from the Hudson. Great experience. The palm trees drinks and music were great. We had a group of 7 and enjoyed a variety of rolls on the deck. Service was prompt and we had a great time. So much so that we drove the boat back down for lunch the next day. I would have loved to give 5 stars across the board but our lunch was a major disappointment. So we had what seemed like a newer waiter. That's fine and we could understand that but our lunch was very long and after taking our order he never came back for over 30minutes. I saw him on the way to the restroom and asked him to stop by the table. No drinks. Nothing. He even forgot to bring drinks that were ordered. Very poor experience. This place isn't cheap - when you're paying top dollar for food you kinda expect a little more.

The beach vibe is evident here- I ended up here for a happy hour. The Taro Tuna Tacos were delicious. The sushi options were all pretty basic that were in the Happy Hour Menu. I did have two different margaritas- spicy Mamacita and the Berry Berry Spicy both felt like good drinks at the $10 price tag.

Place is very beautiful: marina; flowers; good music; sunset ❤️. Food is pretty good but pricey. Mixed cocktails are not great, that might also depend on the bartender. Been there several times. Service depends on who work there: sometimes fast sometimes slow. Oysters and octopus appetiser are my favourites.

What a fantastic experience! The setting is so luxurious. The food is a bit pricey, but has every right to be. The service was great as well. It would be a nice place to get drinks and dessert on their pier sometime.

I wanted to love this place, but I really liked it! Ambiance alone gets 10/10. The property is expansive with amazing views, inside or out. I had a reservation, that earned me an immediate table inside or a 20-25 minute wait for outside. I ordered the spaghetti, which unknowingly had sausage in it. That's my fault, I didn't know what "nduja" was... for the price, I was expecting bigger shrimp. I finished dinner off with one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. Service was fine, the waitress could have been a little more attentive. Great place to view July 4th fireworks that people set off from their homes and boats... or just the beautiful sunset. I'll be back ?

I'm going to go ahead and give them five stars. The West Coast Oysters were delicious alongside collasal shrimp. Stiff drinks. Great service. Terrific beach feeling. Overall a great lunch at the bar overlooking the marina. Definitely will be back.

The drinks were well worth their price and the food was excellent. Crispy oysters were some of the best oysters I've ever had. Their buffalo octopus was very tender. New England chowder had a good balance of clams to other ingredients. Was very impressed with the food. Nice to be near the water as well.

Really enjoyed this place. Very pretty ambiance overlooking the water and boats without that usual fishy smell. Great food and good service, although it took us 20-25 minutes to get our check at the end which is why I gotta deduct a star. Had a Chimay beer which was really nice and came in a chilled glass. Margharita was good, although was pretty sweet and not spicy as advertised. Food was excellent in general. Roasted dates were great, and so was the cauliflower (spicy but a tad underdone). Mac and cheese was creamy and good but missing a crunchy bread crumb component or a true roux sauce. Tuna burger was excellent, served medium with fries and with a nice spicy sauce. Caesar salad had some nice shaved pieces, was good but nothing crazy. Overall, definitely enjoyed and worth checking out!

Great views and very nice restaurant. Staff was friendly and helpful. The mussels were very good. My husband ordered the kale pizza and really liked it. I had the fettucini which came with crab and a butter sauce instead of Alfredo. It left something to be desired. Not too much flavor. I would definitely go back and try something else.
