Shipwreck Grill - Facing Out

Fine dining at the Jersey Shore to be found at the Shipwreck Grill in Brielle, New Jersey. Don't miss the desserts... They are the best!

Shipwreck Grill

The Shipwreck Grill offers patrons fine dining off of Barnegat Bay. Just off of Route 35 in Brielle, New Jersey, the menu offers an incredible array of seafood specialities (but don't worry, there are specials for the land lubbers among us...). Poached lobster, seared chilean sea bass, pistachio crusted grouper, grilled ribeye... the list goes on.

But save room for dessert! REALLY - Not kidding... It's some of the most creative and well done endings to a meal this reviewer has ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Caramelized Apple Tarte Tatin with Vanilla Ice Cream was my favorite.

You will certainly need to watch your head as you climb the towers at Twin Lights...

You will find some beautiful views as you climb the lights at Navesink...

Saltsman's Hotel has taxidermy as part of the decor... While wood bark won't be on the menu, milkweed will be in season (in the spring) and it's great!

Look!

Just one of the friends you will see hanging out at Saltsman's in Upstate New York...

The Bar at Saltsman's

The Bar at Saltsman's

Nothing quite like a handcrafted libation at this bar in the Saltsman Hotel (circa 1889) in Upstate New York. Good chance to get a half dollar as part of your change...
