Restaurant Review

McLoone's Robinson Ale House, located on the lower level of Tim McLoone’s Supper Club, is an attractive restaurant with scenic boardwalk and beach/ocean views.

It is the more casual alternative to the Supper Club with both inside and outside dining.

The main reason you come to this restaurant is for the awesome ocean views and the high energy bar scene. During the warmer months, there is outside dining on the boardwalk with gorgeous views of the ocean, the beach ---- and an excellent vantage point for people watching.

The food is decent, reasonably priced, pretty much in-line with other mid-range Jersey Shore beach front restaurants.

This is not gourmet dining. They serve a menu with a decent selection of new American dishes, a raw bar, and choices of burgers, sandwiches, and salads with gluten free options.

The wait staff is largely seasonal and is inconsistent, and tends to be slow, especially during the peak season.

McLoone's Robinson Ale House is open seven days/week for lunch and dinner.
