Tally-Ho - Italian restaurant in Tinton Falls - 4118 NJ-33, USA

My wife and I had dinner here at 7 pm on a Monday night during the first half of July 2023. The place was pretty empty. That was good because there's not a lot of parking spots, and no nearby stores to park in. We later learned from our server that on weekends people often have to park on the grass. The outside is not particularly inviting. When I saw the neon Coors Light sign in the window, I thought this was going to be a sports bar joint. I was wrong. Yes, there is a bar with multiple TVs inside, but there is also a separate seating area for non bar patrons. There are also a few private tables alongside the front of the restaurant, and there is a partial glass wall separating them from the bar, so they are nice and quiet. We sat in one of those. The bar was not real busy that night and neither was the restaurant, so it was nice and quiet to talk. I imagine it would be quite different on the weekend, and our server told us so. Service was good. There is an extensive menu, and all the dishes are very moderately priced. Our dinners came with delicious Italian bread and salads and a side of our choosing at no extra cost. The pierogi appetizer was delicious, the chicken piccata was very tender and tasty, and the chicken/shrimp/filet mignon dinner with Romano sauce was wonderful. Portion sizes were nice, though not overwhelming. The pinot Grigio available was good and not super expensive. Bottom line. This is a very good casual dining restaurant, very moderately priced, and with a huge selection of dishes. I do think the food is a notch below some much more expensive restaurants we have gone to, but is a very good value for what you get. This is a nice alternative to a fine dining restaurant. We will probably be back the next time we vacation at the shore.

Had a really good dinner here. Food and drinks were great as was the atmosphere. Shout out to our server Kim for her excellent and friendly service!

Wow wow wow! The food is absolutely amazing. Come with a huge appetite. Definitely get the escargot with garlic bread and get an extra side bread to dip. Chicken and sausage Murphy with cherry peppers was phenomenal and enough for three people. Can’t go wrong with anything you order. A hidden gem on 33 for sure!

Shrimp was hard, over cooked. Bitter spice on the spaghetti was horrible. I should of sent it back, but it was very busy. The scallops were delicious. I'll never order that dish again. My friend had swordfish. It was VERY dry. The sole my other friends had was fine.

The perfect place for dinner! The taste is amazing!

The flounder almondine over risotto was excellent. Beer on tap and cocktails first rate. Server was very friendly and efficient. I liked this place. Haven't been here since before the pandemic but I'm glad I went back.

Sat down to eat. Waited 10 mins before we were talked to. We're giving the wrong menus. When we finally got our drinks and the right menus, the glasses were covered in crud. The prices were crazy high. We ultimately left without getting our entrees. Would not recommend.

Mussels were soggy & overcooked, scallops were some imitation of scallops! Terrible wine list! Tap water tastes like iron ! Try McDonalds instead!
