Dined here Saturday, 3/12/16 Ok so here we go again. Renovated and under new management. Still makes no difference. Where do they get the hired help from??? We went here again ONLY because our friends suggested we go after Salt Creek in Rumson was booked. I wasn't thrilled but happy to oblige good friends! The place looks much better inside and the dust is gone thankfully. However, let me tell you the series of events.. : 1. we had a reservation of 6 yet only 5 settings were available and the bus boy had to run and get everything. No big deal. 2. The tables next to us had bread for 10 minutes and they arrived AFTER us. When we questioned the waitress as to why we had no bread she said OH sor...
I've had Junior's food in multiple spots over the years, including private bookings with his food truck. He never disappoints. The fact that he's opened a permanent spot with himself at the helm is a HUGE plus for the culinary scene in the area. I recently celebrated a birthday here, at the chef's table, with a big party in tow. We all left happy and stuffed, eager to return. Highlights included the pork belly and mushroom appetizer, steak frittes, pork chop, mussels and chorizo, bread pudding and just about everything else that was ordered. This isn't just another restaurant with exceptional food. Junior clearly possesses a distinct vision for his cuisine, as well as a reverence for getting...
I ordered the short ribs with polenta and grilled asparagus, and it was fantastic. The polenta was creamy and flavorful, the short ribs were tender and delicious, and the asparagus was grilled perfectly, retaining just the right amount of crunch. My husband chose the special, which was a risotto with pan-seared halibut, but he requested to substitute the halibut for salmon, and there was no issue with that. His dish was also delicious. We also enjoyed the goat cheese salad, which was great.
My only complaint is that we ordered mussels as an appetizer along with the salad, but the waiter only brought the salad. He mentioned he hadn’t heard us order the mussels, which was a simple misundersta...
We were ignored for about 10 minutes after being seated, other than the kid who gave us our (one and only! glass of water. Finally the waiter came and couldn't recite the specials while uncorking our wine at the same time had to read them afterwards i heard his colleague recite them easily to a nearby table...The Meatball Duo appetizer was tasty. The waiter didn't offer black pepper for the Caesar salad but produced it after we finally tracked him down. I ordered the steak frites, one of the most expensive menu items, for like $30 and it came out rare (i ordered medium and was actually cold like it had been sitting for quite a while. The steak was also poorly seasoned and I needed to ask for...

I came here a few weeks ago with my husband and some friends. The dining experience was mediocre at best. First they charge you $2 for extra dinner rolls then the appetizers took 45 minutes to arrive at our table and the restaurant was not busy. $2 for rolls with $15 apps? Seems like they should be included. Our dinner was not bad and after we were finished, the waitress came over and advised the dessert was on her since it took so long for the appetizers. While we waited for our dessert, the waitress came over and said she was going to give us cash for the dessert to pay for it and not to say anything. What???? It was very strange. Of course we ended up paying for the dessert because we wer...
The atmosphere is fantastic, and the BYOB policy is a definite plus, especially since it's just a short walk to Zoe's. This was our go-to spot, but it has recently changed management, and unfortunately, the new menu isn’t an improvement. As a regular-sized guy, I found myself still hungry after sharing an appetizer and having an entrée. I even had to grab half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich later that night! Our bill for two came to $120 with tip. I ordered the short ribs, but honestly, there was barely more than a heaping forkful of beef, along with just one scoop of polenta and three asparagus spears. The service was lacking as well, with the staff seeming more focused on their phon...
Had the special, which was a Berkshire pork chop (OH YEAH)! Had the meatball appetizer (OH YEAH)! The chef sent over the deviled eggs with salmon (OH YEAH)! Bring some wine, as it 's a BYOB, and it gets pretty darn crowded after 6:30 on Friday nights. It 's a little hard to find, but that 's why they call them Hidden Gems . Nicely done Zoe 's.
This restaurant is fantastic! I enjoy coming here and bringing a bottle of wine from the shop across the street. The shrimp and grits are absolutely delicious, and the halibut with risotto is equally delightful. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. We're fortunate to have such a wonderful place in Little Silver!

The Monday $20 Three Course meal was superb. We were pleasantly surprised to hear the additional options that they had that day. Each course was as delicious as the next and the service was excellent the entire time. Will definitely go back. Perhaps next Monday...
The food and service were wonderful! Great choices on the menu. Zoe's never disappoints!! A special thanks to Chef Chris Kirkwood and everyone in the kitchen for an outstanding job! Angela Fiasconaro
