Catbird - Review - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation
"Catbird is a new BYO restaurant and pizzeria in a fully renovated, idyllic location along Deal Lake in Asbury Park. The food might remind you of Medusa, a ghost of Asbury restaurant’s past, and you’ll find stuff like simple seasonal salads with arugula and blueberries, roasted vegetables, and the biggest reason to come: their signature, slightly misshapen, nearly square wood-fired pizzas. We really like the use of vegetables on the pies, like the roasted eggplant with pesto or a spicy sausage and ricotta pie covered in trimmed fennel fronds. The atmosphere is basically an Adirondack cabin, and they have a great outdoor dining area that gives you direct views of aviary life swooping down towards the lake fetching their own dinner. Make sure to finish those crusts before the osprey and eagles do." - Michael Sinatra
