Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Wall Township

It was our anniversary and the service and respect given was *****! Thank you Trama and staff for a great experience! A special shout out to Sean! I’ll be BACK!

Fourth time we have been there when visiting Belmar. Food is always plentiful and spiced to perfection. Warm fire, beautiful Christmas decorations, good prompt service. I am hooked! Highly recommend.

We enjoyed Brandl’s Restaurant week menu, which had a variety of choices not usually found on their regular menu. For starters, we had the tuna poke and crab cake. The poke was new and fabulous. The pickled vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha was delicious. I hope Brandl’s brings this back. For entrees, my husband and I both had the flounder. Two nice pieces of flounder were filled with a wonderful cream filling of spinach and feta over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, we ended with apple strudel with can ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake served with one coffee and a cappuccino. A few items on the special menu included pork tenderloin Wellington, pumpkin spiced potstickers to name a few. Overall, the food was outstanding with wonderful service.

My nephew, who’s been a chef on private yachts for decades, was visiting and wanted to dine at an oceanfront restaurant to celebrate his dad (who passed awsy one year ago). We chose Rooney’s, never having eaten here before. We were not disappointed. The atrium, where we were seated, had a wonderful view of the ocean and the room was very comfortably heated, in addition to feeling spacious and elegant. We started with the baked artichoke appetizer…with a little more of the tasty bread, it could have been a meal! My vegan husband had the Spicy Rigatoni (unfortunately the only vegan option) which he said was great. I had the pan fried bronzini with sweet chili sauce. And even though I rarely like fish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides of mashed Gouda cauliflower and crispy Brussels sprouts were amazing. My nephew- chef loved the lobster roll…except for the fact the roll wasn’t toasted and buttered, which he felt was a real mistake. Overall, our experience was top notch. We will be back!

Food was very good. Server was attentive but lacked personality. Good vibe but very noisy even before the 2 man band. We love this place though. You won’t be disappointed.
