We had a party of seven. We visited on a Saturday, and we had reservations for 7 pm.
The venue was really loud. The restaurant was not overly crowded. We waited for a bit before our waitress, Teresa, came for drink orders. For the most part, the drinks were good, but one in the party was forgotten.
We ordered apps of the coconut shrimp, the pretzel, the crab cocktail, and the cheese steak egg rolls. The apps were good and were delivered promptly.
We had quite a wait before Teresa returned for our dinner order. As we waited, the air conditioning unit above our table dripped water onto party members and the table, something I considered a health violation. This continued even after we pointed it out.
Once our order was taken, our food was rather slow in delivery. I ordered the crab cake dinner, and a side salad. The salad greens were crisp, but had a funny, moldy taste. This could have been the dressing. I asked for honey mustard which was served in plastic serving size containers. The honey and mustard had separated.
My crab cakes were nice portions and were pretty good. However, the mashed potatoes were broken, and grainy, with the consistency of grits. They were not as warm as I would have liked.
There was no salt or pepper at the table. I had to get up and scavenge for them myself. I also had to scavenge for cocktail sauce for one of the party members. Not one staff member approached me to help, even though the items were in a high traffic area near the kitchen.
After dinner, I had to seek out our waitress for the bill. Our tab was $445 which I feel, for the quality and service, was overpriced.
In my opinion, the restaurant is over-hyped.

Our second visit to the Whitebrier. Get better every time. There is a vibrant outdoor patio that brings a lot of energy and music. We sat in the restaurant off to the side (motorboat club) and enjoyed the patio vibe from a distance. We loved the food. Namely the sushi. Got the coconut shrimp, blackened scallops for spa. And crab cakes, aki and romantic rolls for the main. Everything was delicious

Dave and I chose to have a wedding at the shore. Instead of choosing the “typical” wedding venue, we chose The Whitebrier in Avalon, NJ, a popular bar at the Jersey Shore. I, personally, wanted this venue because I always loved the wood-inn-feel it had, plus The Whitebrier’s sprawling space with both indoor and outdoor space appealed to me. Dave trusted me, and since our families are both frequenters of the Jersey shore, he was happy with the choice, especially because The Whitebrier was a laid back choice.
When we visited The Whitebrier in January of 2022 for a preliminary walkthrough, my parents were nervous about my venue choice and, quite frankly, questioned my sanity. The Whitebrier has a red bar room, with a mermaid. I’ll say it again, my parents were nervous.
When Dave and I, our bridal party, and of course, my parents, walked into The Whitebrier on October 8, we were blown away. Our wedding was magical and warm. I still am in awe at how John, with our planner, Ashley, and her team, along with the florist, Amber, transformed The Whitebrier. John, was so accommodating. My parents even said they were wrong; they loved every aspect of the wedding. From the food, the service, to the space itself being able to offer every guest a special experience, our wedding was perfect.

Food and Service are top notch as you’d expect at a Union League Property. Interior is decorated nicely, and has an open feel. Despite the well hidden acoustic attenuation panels on the ceiling, the dining area is very loud as the noise from the bars spills into that area. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and hustle to serve guests and reset for the next wave of patrons.

We spent a lovely Wednesday evening at the Octopus Garden.
First, I was surprise at how much parking this place offered! Plenty of free spaces. We chose to eat outside at the very casual and relaxed octopus garden. It’s seat yourself; we were easily able to walk right in on the week day. It had a low key and quaint ambiance. Plenty of tables for parties of all sizes and plenty of shade. In the late evening when the sun goes down and all the bistro lights turn on it transforms into a magical space. I absolutely loved the feel of this great hangout spot. Also, they had live music on a Wednesday in the Mermaid Cafe (which was attached), a really pleasant surprise!
First we ordered drinks. It is a little jarring to see the wine come out in a disposable cup and my green tea cocktail be presented in a Dunkin’ cup…but that’s what happened and they both were delicious. I enjoyed the refreshing tea beverage, but it was light on the vodka.
Now we came with the intention of getting sushi and that exactly what we did. I ordered the Seaweed Salad, Romantic Roll, and Amazing Tuna. Honestly…the rolls didn’t present the wow factor for the price. The Seaweed Salad, although generously portioned, was plated over mixed greens, which was extremely odd. The Amazing Tuna packed no spicy tuna punch or tempura crunch…the ahi tuna on the top was extremely bland. The mango BBQ sauce didn’t have any kick too it. Just a let down for a 26.00 price point. The Romantic roll was simple, the mango on top gave it great flavor…but it was supposed to be topped with caviar…to no avail.
The food was being presented to other tables looked far better than the sushi, so I do have hope that this is a great spot to hang in Avalon. I’m going to try again, but I will be ordering off the regular menu and I hope I’m able to add more stars because I’m rooting for this place.

The restaurant has multiple beautiful venues both indoor and outdoor. The Chilean seabass was $40 and it came with a salad: but also, it was cooked with finesse and to absolute perfection. The Cape May Sunset sushi roll was $25, but it was outstanding, delicate and flavorful. Nice selection of cocktails, brews and wines to pair with your meal.

Unique idea for music trivia. We loved it. The food was great. Had the Whitebriar burger, cooked medium rare. SO DELICIOUS !!! Our party was large and lots of different varieties of food were ordered and ENJOYED by all. If you have an opportunity try this spot….I highly reccommend.

Had the pleasure attending the Whitebrier as a guest to a member, and it didn’t disappoint! Great good, drinks, service and ambiance. Had a 5.15 pm seating on a Friday evening, and the place was packed. Kid friendly at that hour too.
