Reviews for Brooklyn Bistro in Toms River, NJ
This past Labor Day we were 2 couples going to Brooklyn Bistro for the first time. As soon as you walk in you feel you are in... Little Italy having dinner. Tables were set with tablecloths wine glass and we were taken to our table right away honoring our6:30 reservations. Maria was our waitress and our service was impeccable. Between the four of us we had appetizers, house salad,pasta, fish and meat entrees. Everything was cooked to perfection and prepared fresh so it allowed us time between courses. Weended dinner with double expressos and you must leave room for desert. They were fantastic. I would highly recommend BrooklynBistro for a fabulous dinner, great service and an evening to remember. Keep in mind this review is from a Bronx guy now livingin Jersey so it must be good! Read more
It pains me to write this review. Brooklyn Bistro has always been one of my favorites. I love the people who work there and... the food is usually awesome but my latest visit was a disappointment. The food was way overpriced and the portions of non-pastaitems were ridiculously priced. I ordered the Cod special. No prices were offered when they read the specials and it was mymistake not to ask. The cost was $35 and the piece of fish was literally a 3x3 inch square with 4 overcooked pieces ofasparagus underneath. I asked for a Diet Coke which took 20 min and three requests to get. No salads came with the meals. Inaddition, my table was placed right in front of the music. The singer was fantastic but so loud I couldn’t talk to the personnext to me making it impossible to have a conversation with the other 4 people at the table. I waited till I left to sayanything and they were very nice in saying they would have asked him to lower the music but I did see several others complainand it didn’t seem that it made any difference. We skipped dessert and went elsewhere to have it so we could talk. Sodisappointing! Read more
07/29/2022: Lunch for 4. This is my first visit and will NOT be my last. We enjoyed Octopus, Mussels and Meatball appetizers -... outstanding. Friends orders various entrees. My Salmon was above average and one meat special (name forgotten) was equallygreat. We were full and only enjoyed coffee for dessert. I will certainly dine here again and recommend Brooklyn Bistro toanyone in the area looking for a great meal. Thank you! Read more
We had Danielle as our server, she's GREAT. Attentive and not pushy. Had the rice balls as an appetizer, very delicious. Clams... and linguine for dinner, was excellent. I'm sad that I didn't save any to take home. My husband said the cheesecake is betterthan mine. ???? Read more
Went here for a party and the food was very good. The place was very clean and and the employees were very friendly. We went... here for a party and the place looked good with balloons and staff doing what they should be doing to accommodate all of theparty guests.

Don’t even know where to start. The food is absolutely delicious! From the appetizers, dinner and dessert was all amazing! We... like to go to dinner on weekends and try new places and this was by far our favorite! My stuffed artichoke was the best I’veever had. The pork chop was to die for and the cheesecake….. wow!!!!! Every single bite my husband took he would say“wow”. The staff were super nice and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant is great! My family and I will definitely begoing here very often.

The Brooklyn Bistro is a perfect place to sit and relax after a crazy day of working in the city. The spinach salad with... grilled chicken was perfect with ginger dressing. I paired it with the viognier wine-so tasty! I'll come again since I oftenstay at the Hampton Inn Down at the bottom of the hill... Read more
