The 18 Best Restaurants In Asbury Park

"In 2022, the boutique St. Laurent Hotel opened as an exciting new addition to town, and Heirloom Kitchen is its main attraction. The food is always quality, and it’s frankly the best dining experience in Asbury Park and the surrounding area: there’s a great wine list and a four-course menu that always feels special. The beautifully-designed space features a stylish and sexy lounge up-front where you should drink a cocktail (their beverage director worked for Miami’s Broken Shaker), and the dining room is bright with a view of the St. Laurent’s pool. The restaurant group also has two other locations: a part-time cooking school off Route 9 in Old Bridge, and a sister spot in Aberdeen called Lita." - michael sinatra
