"I wish I could give this place 10 stars !!!! My first time here was for NYE night. For starters, the receptionist Sarah was so kind and so accommodating. You don’t find hostess with such great and positive attitudes like this anywhere anymore. The food was absolutely mind blowing I ordered a tomahawk steak for 2. Our waiter was so informative and provided excellent service through out the entire evening. The atmosphere was a VIBE!! All of the staff looked happy, the restaurant was clean, and the food was amazing. I will for sure be coming back!!!"

"1st time here - Great atmosphere! Elegant - Bar is fantastic Food - Crab Cake = solid 10! Best in NJ - Charbroil Oyster = Good, blend of oyster and parmesian flavor - Lobster Bisque = maybe a 2 rate. No lobster flavor, no brandy flavor. Make it this way * Veggie Stock * Lobster Stock condensed as much as you can. * More cream than Flour * Brandy * celtic salt, paprika, etc... Shrimp Taco = Good, maybe an 8. Hard to eat, but still worth it. Lobster BLT [but really ordered the Mac/Chesse, but got this] . . . Lobster flavor is faint. I would drizzle a bit of clarified butter, pinch of salt to expound the taste... but mom liked it. Anyway, thats just my take on it. There was a large party there so it slowed things down. I will go back"

"We visited Iron Whale for an early dinner on a Saturday. This is a nice, oceanfront restaurant with 2 outdoor spaces. One with an ocean view on the boardwalk and the other on Ocean Ave. This is where we sat and still a great vibe. We were seated immediately, so I didn’t get a good look at the inside of the restaurant. Seemed like a nice place for a date night. Cocktails were impressive. Quite creative, tasty and surprisingly strong. Food highlights for me were the Jerk Mahi tacos and the Caesar salad. The salad had shaved Brussels Sprouts in it and the dressing was awesome. The service was…eh. When we had our servers attention, they were really nice. The problem was trying to find them at times and when we would ask for certain things, it took longer than it should. The food arrived quick after ordering, but took a while for us to actually order. Overall it was a good time and a great night to dine outside. As a seafood lover, I loved the menu and I would go back to give the service another try."

"We just had dinner at the Iron Whale tonight. The restaurant is right on the ocean / boardwalk and is beautiful. The service was fantastic and the seafood was great too. The Iron Whale is definitely one of the nicer restaurants to visit in the Asbury Park area."

"Had a FABULOUS night here. Went out for a birthday dinner and the food was out of this world. I had the seafood risotto and my boyfriend had the salmon. The cocktails were amazing and server was great!!"
