Best Fun Restaurants in Freehold

As always great food and service in a fun atmosphere

We were a party of four on a relatively quiet Thursday night. We were seated right away and our server stopped by soon after. We were brought water while we reviewed the menus and rolls soon after we ordered. I had duck confeit, my wife had a steak sandwich, the other couple had a pasta dish and burger. While the food was well prepared and had good flavor, it did not overwhelm any of us. My duck dish came with only a leg and thigh, which I feel was on the small side for the price. What did they do with the breast since there was no other duck dish on the menu. There were pieces of duck with cassolle, but it would not add up to the breast. While we will probably visit this restaurant again, I think the portions could be a little bigger.

Everything was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. We were shown to our tables and with two smalls kids, we were first asked if the table was acceptable. This felt like a breath of fresh air- to have others validate the concern of table space and comfortability when dining with your kids. Our waiter, Mike, was patient and kind to my kids. He told us about all the specials and drink options he thought we’d enjoy. He told us his favorites which swayed us in to ordering the potato spuds for an appetizer. There was no hesitation after the first bite that Mike did not steer us wrong. Our entrees were cooked to perfection. We ordered drinks, based on Mikes recommendations, that were customized to our celebrations (birthday and new years). This made us feel like Mike really took the time out to make sure we had the best experience possible. During our dessert, another server Dan, stopped by our table to wish us a happy birthday and to acknowledge how well behaved my kids were being. I appreciate coming to a restaurant where we can eat amazing food, have really great drinks, and have an over the top experience. Thank you Mike and 618 for a perfect night for my family.

La lupa is hands down one of the best in nj if not the best. From the ambience to service. Food is beyond exquisite and the flavor pairings are unmatched

Love everything about this place. Good Italian dishes on the menu, with specials offered nightly. All are always very good. The veal meatballs is one of our favorite appetizers, along with pasta specials. Restaurant is comfortable and inviting. The icing on the cake (or filling in the canolli) is the warm welcome from the owner, Giorgio, and staff to all their customers. A neighborhood gem. We wish Solo continued well-deserved success.
