Moonstruck

My aunt, uncle, and wife have been wanting to come here for years. Last night, we made it happen and had a wonderful experience! Started off with a house old fashioned that tasted great. Eggplant fries and rice balls were a fantastic appetizer. House salad with gorgonzola was terrific. Then, for dinner, I had the duck. Chocolate mousse torte is a must try for dessert. Service and views were fantastic! Can't wait to go back.

Tonight was my first time dining here, definitely won’t be the last. Amazing food and atmosphere, topped off with incredible service. Nick was our server and he was the best! Never made us feel rushed, helped me narrow down my choices (because I wanted everything), and timed out our courses perfectly. The cherry cheesecake…. Omg… spiritual! 🤣 I loved it so much I had to order a second piece to bring home. We ended the night chatting with Nick and he had nothing but great things to say about the owners and how great they are to work for which just added to it feeling like a special place. 10/10.

We had the most wonderful time here last night celebrating my husbands birthday. From apps to dessert and everything in between, spectacular! Delicious food, amazing service with a beautiful atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Moonstruck has been around for many years. Patrons keep returning for their fabulous food. I have so many favorites, so I keep rotating what I order. Sometimes I convince my family to do family style, that way I can have a bigger variety. The clams, eggplant fries with drizzled honey and their mezze platter are the way to go for starters but I do enjoy the rack of lamb and their pasta dishes too. My ultimate favorite thing on the menu is their pralines and coffee ice cream dessert. All I can say is wow!! The restaurant is on multiple levels which can become difficult with those with physical limitations. The atmosphere gives off the vibe for more mature folks. I would call it a classic and not trendy. Food is delicious, staff are friendly and mature.

Saturday night dining was busy but perfect. Wait time at 545-6 pm was only 20 mins. Sat at the bar and ordered stater drinks and an app. When it was our turn to head upstairs, the hostess took our drinks and app to our table. Constantly had our water refilled and the server was very tentative! Tried the sangria, fried artichokes, and eggplant fries. For dinner, we split the specials, which were tomato salad (jersey toms) and short rib. So good! Ambiance was beautiful but could be a little dark in certain spots, and unfortunately, ppl pulled out their phone flashlights that were very bright. It's not a jeans type of environment but also not a black tie location. I definitely can't wait to go back.

The food is really good, I really liked the pesto pasta - so fresh in flavor. The eggplant fries were a great suggestion, we enjoyed all appetizers, this place has great seafood options. The staff is superb, and helpful. The dining is a minimum $30 per person, so be prepared to eat more!

Such an amazing experience ! Be sure to make a reservation in advance, and you may wait inside... but it worth it - for everything ! Our waitress was perfect. Service was on good timing.
Cocktails delicious - potatoes leak soup was amazing ! sea food was delicious. The chicken was perfect as well.
We finished with a very good dessert...
We recommend the place and we will come back 100%

You can go here on the busiest days of the year and always get the highest quality food, service, and atmosphere. I have been here for award events, birthdays, anniversary’s, and now New Years Eve. Always amazing

Had dinner after my daughters wedding. Food was very good Christian our waitress was amazing there was 12 of us and she was very attentive. Made sure all the meals came out together and our drinks were full.

Top tier Asbury Park. Great cocktails and food. The eggplant fries are amazing. I've never seen that before - eggplant is mushy but not here. An exemplary duck. For the quality of food the portions are generous. The service is near fine dining Manhattan level. The ground floor bar experience is similar to an expensive old school hotel. The menu is a bit boring but everything was delicious. Hands down the best meal and best service I've ever had in Asbury Park. Highly recommended.

Hidden gem! I’ve been to asbury numerous times and finally stumbled across Moonstruck and I’m in love.

Variety of food, all delicious. Old school, homey vibe.

Went for dinner; first time; w my wife. Very nice atmosphere. My server, Stan?, was excellent; pleasant, knowledgeable & attentive. We both started w salads & they were good (Caesar & house). I had pasta w shrimp & clams. Shrimp was fresh & plentiful enough. Clams were not plentiful. Sauce was very good. Wife had scallops & shrimp over risotto; she loved it👍🏼 Had cappuccino (very good) and shared a bread pudding w fresh cream & ginger ice cream; enjoyed it👍🏼. Wife had a martini & it was quite good! Moonstruck overall, highly recommend👍🏼

Moonstruck is a great restaurant with amazing customer service. Our waiter, Ken and server, Sarah took great care of us for our anniversary weekend. Such attentive and caring staff!

Had the restaurant week dinner. Food was delicious with generous portions. Service was outstanding and very pleasant. Water glasses were refilled promptly without having to flag any one down. And a pretty place. PLUS and this is amazing -- there were 4 of us trying to figure out this uncooperative parking meter and someone from the restaurant came across the street to help. A wonderful experience all around.

Dan our waiter was excellent!!!

He recommended some places around Asbury after our meal!

The duck is the best I ever had in my life, and my girls gnocchi was amazing.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Asbury Park's Moonstruck is an AP pioneering staple! The food and drinks are exceptional, and the service is truly top-notch. I highly recommend the pistachio-encrusted rack of lamb (special)- it's one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The roast duck is equally amazing, and the cocktails are happiness in a classic glass 🍸. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and make you feel right at home. Overall, it's an outstanding dining experience that I highly recommend.

The food is delicious. The service was amazing. You have to try the Eggplant fries. Talk about mouth watering. Trust me you wont be disappointed. It was the perfect place for my dads retirement party. The steak bites with blue cheese are a must have as well.

The food was good and plentiful. TBH, for that price tag it could have been a bit more refined- in particular with regards to the presentation. The service was outstanding- 6 stars- our server was very attentive, accommodated all special requests and extremely polite. Hence the 5 stars.

Super attentive service, very nicely kept restaurant in a historical building. I watched my server greet a lot of his local regulars really warmly, and his team were very efficient keeping things running. At one point the table adjacent to mine, the dad had to take their kid potty right after the food came out, and they immediately came over to cover it. The food was really delicious and well presented, and the mixed drinks (Singapore) were perfectly matched with the weather and the food! We will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

The food was so delicious 😋 beautiful place, we celebrate at my husband's 60th birthday 🎂 it was a blast
