The room was warm and cozy with nice wood chairs with cushioned seats. Our first course, the beet salad was off the charts excellent. I can’t wait to go back just for that! The other standout was the hanger steak. Service was excellent. BYOB and reasonable prices. A lovely choice in the lovely Ocean Grove.

Great new restaurant in Ocean Grove in the historic Majestic Hotel. I loved my slow-cooked salmon with asparagus. The asparagus was nice and soft and very tasty. Friendly service too.

Andrew is such a fabulous chef/ owner/ person all around! My family recently booked an afternoon there for a Celebration of Life luncheon and we would 100% do any future events with Andrew! His staff was kind, hilarious, and very attentive. The food was fabulous, the attention to detail meticulously done. Well done and thank you again!

I want to start by saying this Restaurant is Absolutely Incredible!!!!!! My fiance and I had remembered we had a gift card that was gifted to her for her birthday back in June so we decided to head down from Somerset County. From the moment we walked in the door we were greated and seated immediately.
We brought our own wine since this town is a dry town and our waitress opened the bottle immediately to get us started while we looked at the menu. I knew this was going to be an amazing experience as soon as I had seen the limited menu. Many people don’t understand how fantastic a limited selection menu is. If you see this just know there’s a great chance your really going to enjoy your dining experience. Limited small menus are great because it means they have a 1-3 day window of meats/seafood that have been delivered to prepare and serve so the freshest your going to get.
Every ingredient is hand made to order not prepped and sitting around. We started with the Brusetta, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had in my culinary adventures over the last 20 years. Every bite was such a delight to have 100% fresh ingredients. My fiance had the Salmon and I had the Short Rib. The short rib was fantastic not under or overcooked just right, I cut it up to get full bites with the short rib, mashed potatoes and garden fresh string beans. The Salmon was so fresh and wild caught like it was just out of the river. The chocolate sponge cake with the raspberry brule was too die for, soaked up the brule with the cake and it was very balanced.
Highly Highly Highly recommend this little hidden Gem!!!! You will not be disappointed what so every. We will definitely make this one of our go to spots down around the shore.

The Beet and Bacon Hash was absolutely delicious, I have never had anything like it. My husband had the eggs benedict, and it looked great and tasted amazing! The service was also amazing, Sophia, my server was one of the most sweetest people I have ever met, she was constantly checking up on us even when there were multiple other tables! I will definitely be coming back!

We were anxious to try out this newly owned restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, room, great service. However at $38 for “sea scallops” and $36 for Salmon we are left wanting larger portions and a starch of either bread or buns or something? Both were tasty but not worth the price tag. Scallops were small for sea scallops and Salmon was the thpical perhaps 5 oz(?) size. The scallop entree in particular filled half the plate. A simple addition of a side of any kind of greens would have made a much better appearance on a black plate. . A fine restaurant in a small town should include complimentary bread and butter or pref. Home baked bread, little cost.

I recently dined here and was thoroughly disappointed with the experience. The steak bites were inedible, as they were extremely tough and chewy. To make matters worse, our server didn’t even ask how I wanted them cooked.
The so-called “salad” was a joke, consisting of just six leaves, and was overloaded with watermelon and feta cheese. Additionally, my cheeseburger was bland and lacked any toppings or condiments.
To top it off, we were charged for two bottles of water when we only ordered one. The fish was also outrageously priced at $40, which is completely unreasonable given the quality of the food.
Overall, I am not pleased with my visit and do not recommend this restaurant.

Nicely renovated dining room and good ambiance, but beyond that, thoroughly disappointed with our recent experience dining at The Majestic. The room was completely empty at 6pm on a Thursday (which should have been a tell looking back). The service team could provide little meaningful information on the menu, and seemed very naive to the culinary world in general.
Our food came quick, no surprise given the lack of guests. The Caesar salad was the bright spot of the meal, solid house made dressing with good croutons, however it was downhill from there…from the kids meals to the entrees the mains were simply poorly executed. The sauce of the kids Mac and Cheese was split, and was served with a side of vegetables that have been inside a walk-in for longer than they should. My wife got the Truffled Chicken, which lacked any trace of fungi component and was bland and unremarkable. I ordered the Short Rib, which was tender but lacked depth of flavor you’d expect from a braise. The polenta that accompanied the meat was chunky and bland. There was no dessert menu, as their pastry chef “didn’t show up”.
Overall, so much potential, but just not there yet. We were excited to give this place a try and support a new restaurant, but they need to step up their game.

We just enjoyed a wonderful meal here. The dining room is cozy, in the back of the Majestic Hotel.
We started with the beet appetizer and a caesar salad. Both were perfect. I hate when a caesar salad is over dressed. This was just right.
The salmon entree came with shrimp scampi sauce. There was a generous portion of shrimp on it, with artichokes and fennel. I had the hangar steak. Perfectly cooked to temp and flavorful, served with bearnaise sauce. Ketchup is house made and very good.
We wrapped up with a nice light lemon cake with whipped cream frosting and orange zest.
Very pleased with our meal and we will be back. BYOB is a plus. Attentive and friendly service.
