    I very seldom write reviews, but had to make sure I recognized Bahrs Landing. I have visited often - when "we drove down the shore", now I live here. The occasion for our visit last evening was my son's birthday and we had a wonder table by the water which helped with the little ones. The staff from the host to the server were amazing. The tone they set is so welcoming and friendly that it just compliments the great food! Bahrs is a jersey landmark and has been part of our state's dining expience since 1917 You don't stay in the restaurant business for that long without being exceptional. Thank you to the staff of Bahr's

    We fell upon Saffron having walked by it last week and the smells coming from the restaurant were incredible! We went in not knowing what to expect and were so positively surprised! From the creative menu(burrata chaat is to die for!) to the beautifully appointed tabletop, the attention to detail was in every aspect of the restaurant. The owners came over to the table and were terrific as well. This is a MUST TRY!

    We went with another couple during restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised. Food, ambience, service, quality etc. very good. We’re sorry it’s a bit far or we’d have found a great neighborhood bar! Very nice and with parking!
