Dauphin Grille (Dauphin French for dolphin) opened in the summer of 2010 in the renovated Berkeley Hotel, is the latest restaurant in Asbury Park to be run by Executive Chef Marilyn Schlossbach and her brother Richard Schlossbach. Their other Asbury Park restaurants are the Trinity and the Pope, Langosta Lounge, Pop's Garage, and Labrador Lounge.

Executive chef Marilyn Schlossbach serves up a simple yet well prepared seasonally changing bistro menu with a European influence using sustainable, local food from Zone 7, a network of local farmers.

The interior of the Dauphin Grille is casually elegant, with art decco influences. Many of the interior fixtures have been retained either from the previous restaurant or from other rooms of the Berkely including the flooring, the bar, the chairs in the seating area, and the attractive chandeliers.

In the warmer months there is outdoor dining on the patio garden area, even though the restaurant is across the street from the ocean there is no ocean view. They also have a pool side tiki bar that's open Friday, Saturday and Sundays when the pool is in operation.

In addition to dinner, they serve a Euro style breakfast on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, and lunch on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Please call ahead to confirm breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours as they change with the seasons.

Dauphin Grille hosts private parties with a private room adjacent to the bar and dining room. Additional private room options are available in connection with the Berkeley Hotel.

Off-street and metered street parking is available
