Restaurant Review
The Pearl restaurant in the boutique Oyster Point Hotel, situated on the banks of the Navesink River, is popular with diners who come to enjoy the ambiance and attractive decor with sweeping waterfront views of the marina and River.
An attractive draw with boaters is arriving at the adjacent marina for a casual dinner and joining in with the lively bar scene for a pre-dinner drink.
The Pearl Restaurant at the Oyster Point Hotel serves contemporary American menu with American Southwest and Asian influences.
The Oyster Point Hotel is the sister hotel of the Molly Pitcher Inn located next door, but the resemblance stops there as the food and service are a notch below the nearby Molly Pitcher Inn.
They also serve up a Sunday Brunch, and is a good alternative to the sister Molly Pitcher Inn for a popular Easter or Mother's Day brunch If they are fully booked and you desire a waterfront Sunday brunch.
The service is attentive and friendly, though a bit stuffy.
During the warmer months there is outdoor dining on the deck.
Looking to meet up with friends after work, or for an after-theater drink, the Pearl Lounge with scenic waterfront views is a great spot for relaxation.
