The Poached Pear was such a delight. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate- freshly set up for the holiday season and the staff was warm and accommodating. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful, but we chose the garlic shrimp, crab cake appetizer, the chicken and the NY strip steak. We were definitely impressed with the … More The Poached Pear Bistro – Point Pleasant, New Jersey

However, we couldn’t drink at this dinner, even if we may have wanted to. The brick oven pizzas were so inviting. They looked like … More Social 37 – Toms River, New Jersey
This place wasn’t worth all of the hype, in our opinion. We came here late one night because we were starving and it seemed to be the only restaurant with a full menu after 10 pm. We’ve heard they’re known for their various grilled cheeses, but we tried to stick with a dinner that had … More Kim Marie’s Eat & Drink Away – Asbury Park, New Jersey
We’ve attempted to brunch at Cardinal Provisions for a few weeks now, but there was always a line longer than we were willing to wait, considering after Crossfit we are all ravenous vultures.
