Best of Ocean Grove/Asbury Park/Bradley Beach/etc.
Food scene
We should start by saying that the Grand Tavern is our favorite restaurant in town. A little off the beaten path, it has the best food, best environment, and best cocktails at the Shore. Unpretentious, inviting, and innovating with their seasonal menu, the folks at the Grand Tavern just get it. Grab a seat at the bar.
