Awesome place, right on the water/marina. Today was a perfect day to dine al fresco and soak up the rays.The burgers/fries that we had were delicious, the drinks we had were terrific and our server, Taylor, was excellent.Parking was a bit iffy but we figured it out

This place has a great view, great vibe and good food. If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere and aren't in a hurry, this is your spot. Unfortunately, they are having some issues keeping enough staff at the moment due to Covid, but if you have time to chill, this place is great! The cocktails are delicious and a lot of them are huge! The food is good and the place offers the option to cook fish you bring in from the boat. Also dog friendly! We really enjoyed it and will be coming back!

Went out with my friend on a whim last night. She mentioned passing by this place the other day and wanted to check it out.Parking lot was packed when we got there but expected that - was easy to just park on the street.The vibe was nice when we entered, yes it was kinda crowded but we expected it to be since it was Saturday night.We go to the hostess stand to put our name in for a table and they said a 30 minute wait- honestly we thought it would be longer. The hostesses said while we wait we can go upstairs to the bar and they’d text when our table was ready.As soon as we got up the stairs, we found two seats along the railing - was the perfect view with the perfect breeze. Told my friend to wait with the seats to see if we could just take them - they were numbered for seating purposes. I asked the hostess and they said it would be fine and to order food we’d just have to go into the bar and order there and the food would be brought to us. PERFECT! We took our names off the seating list.Moving forward, I go to the bar order us some cocktails and proceed to enjoy ourselves. After an hour we decided we should probably order food. We looked at the menu on our phones, came up with the order and my friend went inside to grab another round of drinks and order the food. She came back out with our drinks and said the bartenders wouldn’t take our food order unless we were seated directly at the bar and that for service where we were we had to go back to the hostess stand to request a waiter. Fine, so my friend goes back downstairs, explains everything to hostess and then comes back up and tells me that they were too busy to send someone directly to us so we’d have to put our names in for a table and would now be a 45 minute wait.As we wait, we see many open tables and one in particular that is set up for two that has been open since we got there. We wait and wait and then we get the text for a table- we are then seated at the table that has been open for the entire 2hrs we’ve now been there.We order food- it was good but nothing spectacular. The food was priced fair for the atmosphere but the cocktails were pretty pricy, in fact 4 drinks cost more than our food bill. Granted I’m sitting at a marina surround by beautiful Viking Yachts - but I’m not drinking the cocktails on them so maybe ease up a bit on their pricing.I get it that it’s hard to find help these days but I felt like the whole time we were there, there were many employees just standing around when they could have been helping to make the flow better.I’ve worked in the tourist/service industry in Key West and understand short staffing and big crowds, but that’s when everyone pulls together, even if it’s not a part of their job, and make the flow better and to make better money. I felt there was a lot of miscommunication between the staff and a lot of room to make it work better.We probably will return, I always like to give a place with potential a second chance.

Def ask for Jen, she was a fantastic server. The owner Mike came by to see if everything was good which is a great touch. Very good place to hang out. Had a live band. Food good too. Great place to go to have fun.

My shrimp Caesar salad was decent. The shrimp were nice. Portion wise it was huge, I'd have appreciated a half portion option. The real let down was the drinks. Our margarita to share I purchased to keep the glass but in the end we didn't because a) it was just a plain glass with the name of the bar on it and b) the margarita just wasn't good. It was somehow both sweet AND bitter. We left half of it behind. Our server was nice if a little aimless. Of course the location is the best bit. Nice atmosphere, in amongst the boats. Could be so much better though. A real shame.

Perfect outdoor restaurant/bar... Plenty of seating overlooking the marina and no discernible traffic noise... prices are fair and the food is well worth the price... Afternoon cocktail, evening drinks or dinner as the sun sets, this place covers it all!

Can't wait to come back in the summer! Found this gem using google maps in the area and searching 'seafood.' The restaurant was difficult to find because it seemed that it's within/next to the Brielle Yacht Club. We had a fair bit of trouble finding parking although the restaurant was moderately busy, and we were curious how this works when there is incredible weather. Upon walking along the river, we had arrived at the restaurant! The outdoor dining space is huge, with multiple levels of tables! I provided a photo of the 'dock level' tables. There were several separate outdoor sections for dining; however, only the inside was open on the cold weather spring week night we arrived. The entrance to dine inside is one level up, and it reminded me of all the awesome seafood restaurants on the Gulf coast of Florida.. no fluff, solid drinks, extremely friendly atmosphere, local vibes, and great seafood. We ordered the calamari appetizer, grilled salmon, blackened mahi mahi (added a picture), and kid's cheeseburger sliders.

Great place. The atmosphere was fantastic. Upon arriving, we were told 35 min for 2. It was not a problem because they were busy. We grabbed a drink from the bar and sat down right next to the hostess, while awaiting the text for our table. 45 min go by, and we ask the host about the table, we were forgotten. All in all, they got us a seat right away. We had great local entertainment which kept us busy during that time and the food was good. We just ask you be a little more attentive.

You basically feel like your in the Florida Keys on vacation and the food and drinks are great!Service is quick and the employees are very friendly!Plus it's dog friendly and my pup can go so we love that about it! And if you have a boat, you can also dock and eat!

The food here was average but still good. You come here for the atmosphere though and being on the water makes it a great place to hang out and grab a drink or bite to eat.

Right out of a Jimmy Buffett song, but right here in Brielle at the Jersey Shore! Friendly staff, clean and socially distanced, great management and offering a little something for everyone. Families usually can grab a picnic table under a large cafe umbrella right by the water. Couples caboodle and share apps snug in Adirondack chairs with a view more than six feet away. Well-priced for a shore Bar & Grill. Grab one on the best house Margaritas available down the shore and sit back in a bright pink Adirondack chair, watch the fishing boats and cabin cruisers swing in and out of the yacht club and marina while you dig into a reasonably priced pound of peel-n-eat shrimp from the Pig-N-Parrot's raw bar! Burgers and other delights available for non-fish eaters.

Nice place to eat. We sat outdoors near the water. I'm a big fan of clam chowder, and am always shocked when places in NJ near the shore have Manhattan clam chowder. Most places serve New England clam chowdet, but NJ isn't part of the New England area, it's in the Mid-Atlantic. This Manhattan clam chowder ranks in my top 3 now. I wish they offered a larger size. I do want to warn, my friends got liquor drinks that were $12 a piece, my soda was $3. Lots of dogs there which is a plus to me!!

Fun atmosphere great drinks. Our appetizers were a big disappointment. The tuna fingers and crab cakes were dried out and cold no moistness at all. The chicken nachos were also cold cheese was dried out and chips were burned. Maybe lunch is not a good time to go. We felt like we were served yesterday’s leftovers!!!Parking: Only 18 spots in the lot and you have to look for other parking

The food and service was good. We sat outside on the 2nd floor ledge for drinks and appetizers. Unfortunately, there were a bunch of loud and foul-mouthed adults there as well (over 50) You would have thought that with at least with children nearby, they would have controlled their potty mouths using extremely offensive language every other word.
