Restaurant Review
Daniel's Bistro, a new BYOB Point Pleasant Beach fine dining restaurant, opened in June, 2009 and has achieved instant success as one of the better Northern Jersey Shore restaurants with well prepared food and excellent, professional service. The owners, Karen and Daniel Pichard have combined to create an attractive setting and a welcome addition to the Broadway area of Point Pleasant beach. Chef Daniel Pichard, formerly of Martha's Vineyard in Clifton, and Pino's in Marlboro, is masterful at running the kitchen. With his wife Karen and daughter Rachel overseeing the service in the dining room, the operation compares very favorably to a fine dining restaurant that has been in operation for a much longer period of time and has had the benefit of time to work out the bugs. The menu at Daniels Bistro offers a good variety of creative, well prepared dishes using fresh ingredients. When available, the recommended appetizers are: Ahi Tuna Tower -- Sushi grade tuna -- with avocado, sweet red pepper, tomato, wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy; or the Chef Daniel’s Special Mozzarella, enveloped with Holland roasted red peppers, grilled eggplant, basil, beefsteak tomato, and basil oil When available, the recommended dinner entrees are: Osso Buco --braised veal shank --- with vegetables, wines, demi glace, and saffron risotto; or the Colorado Rack of Lamb, pan roasted with black mission figs, goat cheese, and port wine reduction; or the Day Boat Halibut, pan seared, with chardonnay, nicoise olives, shiitaki mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and fresh basil. Save room for dessert, it's awesome.Try the Banana’s Foster prepared at your table and enjoy the sight of flames as it creates a delicious aroma of warming brown sugar in butter; or try the Chocolate Flourless Cake. The service at Daniels Bistro is well trained, friendly, and knowledgeable. As soon as your dish is finished, the wait staff is right there to remove your dish and set up a fresh set of silverware between courses, They are right on top of refilling your water and wine glasses.
