The Grand Tavern - Restaurant in Neptune City - 1105 6th Ave, USA

Since moving to Neptune City, this has become our go-to hometown date night spot - and it never disappoints. Ever. They are taking great care to bring you a rotating menu of interesting flavors made from the highest quality ingredients. The cocktail menu always has something for everyone. The staff and ambiance is always 100% on point. Honestly, I would eat a burger here every night for the rest of time if I could afford it. Love this place.

What to say about The Grand Tavern? Right from out front the place tells you all you need to know - it’s unfussy but bold. This continues throughout your experience. It is so hard to get the line right between amazing food, fantastic service and unfussy, unpretentious dining. But Grand Tavern manage it every time. The signature cocktail for the night - the Dove 4.0 is tequila, agave, crème de Violeta and some lime. It’s bold, uncomplicated and delicious. Getting it yet? The rigatoni with clams and shrimps is a meal in itself. The ricotta drenched in sweet dressing and served on toast is like a pre-desert. The scallops are so soft it’s like they’re made of butter. The burger, medium rare is rich, punchy with the sauce and pickles, and balanced by the smothered cheese and the skin-on fries. And desert is a deconstructed key lime pie. I’ll let you guess how good it was. Service is exceptional, the prices are just the right side of pricey, but still expensive - entrees are between $25-$45, but you’re paying for the best food, drinks and atmosphere in the area. An absolute five star experience. Things to know: the menu is online only, so no paper is wasted - its on their website. Kids are welcome, but bring your own high chair and food- they can’t heat it for you.

I am pretty sure this place is one of my favorite restaurants on earth. I’ve traveled the world and have eaten many types of cuisine. The menu is constantly changing and the food is TOP NOTCH! Also the service is excellent! Tonight we had the sun chokes, veal and steak! All 3 dishes were mind blowing! Our desert was toffee pudding and I have no words! I’m obsessed.

Great place to have a great meal. Have been in a few times for dinner and the service, food, and drink have been top notch. The food is elevated without being stuffy. Paired with a great cocktail menu, it makes for a great experience. Space is cozy, but you're not on top of other guests. The team is very attentive and super nice. Look forward to coming back again soon.

Always an amazing meal. Been coming for years. Menu changes every month or so. Staff are top notch but the food is in my opinion the best in NJ.

The Grand Tavern might be my new favorite. Everything from the ambiance, the exotic drink menu, the food quality and the service was just beyond words. We had the Dove cocktail which was super refreshing and the eggplant and goat cheese appetizer which was off the charts. My husband and I just kept saying OMG... as we ate it. We both had the scallops for dinner which was phenomenal. Lastly, I had a delicious espresso martini and even better key lime pie for dessert . Normally we chit chat away as we share a business together and 2 kids so we have a lot to talk about but all we did was remark about the incredible food and admire the staff who worked in synchronicity to give the entire restaurant the best vibe. I will be going back very soon!

You want high quality food, attentive service and top notch mixologist concoctions? Then The Grand Tavern is the place for you. Menu is perfect, Gem salad is the way to go for starters. Can’t go wrong with any of the entrees, burgers are super. Fries are hands down the best around, hand cut, perfectly fried and seasoned. Don’t be afraid to try one of their specialty cocktails or if you’re a a creature of habit like me, their Bourbon Old Fashioned or Manhattan is crafted perfectly.

Simply in a class of its own. The food is fresh, local and out of this world flavor. The steak for 2 is by far one of my favorite meals. Constantly changing with the season it is a great spot for classic inspired meals with a twist. You won’t be disappointed!
