Reviews for Lamppost Bistro Bar & Lounge in Pine Beach, NJ
After months of seeing people complain about the high prices, I finally gave it a try. If you are looking for very high quality... food from a restaurant that does not skimp on details, you will not be disappointed. Everything was SO delicious and so muchattention and care was put into everything. Everything, and I made everything, is made in-house. The bread and crackers wereexcellent. The prime beef tartar was tasty, but the flavors were slightly strong on some pieces. We nearly ordered two of theBlue Fin Tuna Tartar because it was so incredibly fresh (the fish was purchased at the market that morning). The Moroccon Cigarwith filo and lamb was fried to perfection. The filet mignon was PERFECTLY cooked (drool). But my absolute favorite was the plumand apple galette- oh my gosh. If you like fruity desserts, this was to die for. I would go back just for this. But the detailsare what made dinner a truly special experience. The menu covers are made from a high quality leather. The steak knives areengraved. Everyone was seated in different areas of the restaurant for added privacy. As I mentioned, EVERYTHING is homemade.When we left, we received two homemade cookies. Aside from the server making a couple of comments that made me feel like I was awoman living in 1945, service was exceptional and the diversity of the staff was wonderful! We ordered one drink, twoappetizers, two entrees and a dessert and spent around $200 with tip. Overall, a fantastic experience. I will be back soon. Read more

Incredible atmosphere, impeccable service, amazing food. The decor is different, a lot of exposed brick, though it's very warm... and inviting. The waitstaff were very courteous, the sommelier came to discuss options and preference, which was appreciated.Cocktails were so good that doubles were ordered. We'll be back. Read more
This past Wednesday night I had the pleasure of checking out and dining at the Lamp Post Bistro in Pine Beach, NJ. As I walked... in I was pleasantly surprised at the rustic yet modern feel of the place. The sitting area complete with bar and fireplace was awelcome site and I could envision going there with my wife one night for a drink and some quiet conversation. Our serverTerrence, took amazing care of us and was very helpful in choosing what to order. We ended up getting the Eggplant Carpaccio,Liver Paté, Lamb Riblets and Moroccon Cigar to start. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. With our "smallplates," we had a Berry Bramble and Strawberry Daiquiri to drink. I am not a drinker at all but I quite enjoyed the cocktailsand they were a great addition to the small plates. Then it was time for the Entrees. the two of us shared the Surprise Steak(as suggested by Terrence) and of course the 30 Day Dry Aged Cowboy. Both steaks were grilled to perfection, a perfect mediumrare. The surprise steak was more tender as it wasn't aged and it was served with grilled bok choy and an amazingly scrumptiousparsnip puree. The aged steak came with Frisse, Vinaigrette, and the Pan Sauce. Both were so good. We ordered two sides too, forme the Crispy Truffle Potato Wedges and for my wife the Zucchini Fries. Needless to say, we had to take some leftovers home toeat for later. When our server asked about dessert, even with our stomachs full, we couldn't stop ourselves. After browsingthrough the six items we settled on Death By Chocolate, we weren't disappointing. We will defiantly be visiting the Lamp PostBistro soon and will of course as for Terrence. Four enthusiastic thumbs up! Read more
