|||||||||||||||
This very popular restaurant is considered one of the best spots for imaginative and sophisticated food in the Brielle-Point Pleasant shore area. While their nautical decor is common place amongst many shore area restaurants, their food is not and stands above the rest of the pack. A very large three ton anchor, salvaged and brought to the surface by giant lift balloons just off the Manasquan inlet, is hard to miss as you approach the entrance to the restaurant. Don't pre-judge this place by the interior! The interior is nautical, with fifties knotty pine, white twinkle lights around the windows, and a large oval bar, that would lead you to believe that you are about to experience another low-end Jersey Shore tavern serving burgers, battered fried clams, shrimp, and fish sticks. Not so. As you settle into your seat and you scan the wine list and the menu, you will soon discover that you have entered a place that will please the most discerning fine dining enthusiasts. The atmosphere is very casual with a touch of elegance. They have a dress policy of no t-shirts and shorts. The tables are set with linens and china. Although, during the weekends and summer months, the place is noisy and energetic. The reason you come to the Shipwreck Grill is for the food! It's exceptional and served in an unpretentious, down to earth, environment. Chef Terry Eleftheriou is very creative in preparing a large variety of well prepared dishes with his seafood selections standing out. The prices are reasonable considering the excellent quality of the food. It's hard to come up with a short list of recommended dishes at this place, there are so many. However, many of our viewers have found these choices to be favorites; For appetizers, try the Jumbo Lump Crab cake with Remoulade Beurre Blanc, They also have an excellent Raw Bar with an incredible selection of shellfish. For an entree, try the Butter Poached Lobster with Leeks, Oven Roasted Tomatoes and Creamy Grain Mustard Sauce over Fresh Saffron Fettuccine; the Spicy Honey Roasted Salmon with New Zealand Mussels, Baby Bok Choy, Glazed Carrots and a Thai Lemon Gras Coconut Broth; the Australian Baby Rack of Lamb with Exotic Mushroom Risotto, White Truffle Oil and Burgundy Wine Sauce: or when available, the Alaskan King Crab legs and Pasta with Clam Sauce; or the Escolar with Baby Bok Choy, Wasabi mashed potatoes, and shitake mushrooms. Save room for the desserts, the are made on the premises are to die for. Try the Flour less Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake with Chambord Ganache, Considering the high quality of the food served at the Shipwreck Grill, the prices are very reasonable. The service at the Shipwreck Grill is unpretentious, pleasant and attentive. Not Recommended for children. Open seven days a week, reservations are suggested -- especially needed during the summer months. All credit cards are accepted. |
