"Asbury Park’s St. Laurent Hotel is home to two new spots from the area’s most well known restaurant group. Adjacent to Judy’s, which offers an upscale take on Italian American with a heavy Jewish influence, is Harry’s, a terrific cocktail bar with a beverage director from Miami's Broken Shaker. The drinks at Harry’s are some of the best you’ll find anywhere in the area: expertly crafted cocktails—featuring bitters, cordials, herbs, and complex ingredients like charred onion vermouth—a solid wine list, and a terrific slew of martinis, including an olive oil infused vesper. Harry’s is an ideal lounge for celebrating the start of a long weekend." - michael sinatra
"Open since 1972, this steakhouse and martini spot also offers pastas, a Greek salad, and a dry-aged burger with white cheddar and fries ($28). But if you’re going the red-meat route, consider the signature beef Wellington with truffle sauce and baby carrots. Casual diners can head to the pub room." - Eater Staff
"Harry’s is a classic steakhouse, but it’s been renovated to look like a futuristic saloon with an implicit dress code of blazers and button-downs. The dark, underground dining room has suede booths and walls covered in bottles featured on the restaurant's very long wine list. Whether you go with the relatively small portion of filet mignon or the tender bone-in ribeye (the best cut here), make sure to get the perfectly buttery whipped potatoes to share. If you want a more casual experience, get a bar seat in the pub room, and drink a very good classic martini." - kenny yang, neha talreja, hannah albertine
"Harry’s is a classic steakhouse a block from Wall Street that tends to be filled with people who took off their ties on the walk over. Join them in the dark, slightly underground dining room if you want to pair your martini with some jumbo shrimp cocktail and dry-aged filet mignon—or if you just want a drink after work, get a bar seat in the casual bar room. The martini here is old school in that it’s relatively heavy on vermouth, and it comes with a sidecar on ice." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
"While you can order a $120 porterhouse for delivery, Harry’s is also offering an $18 sirloin burger with fries, which is usually only available at lunch - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
