About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Wed, Sat, Sun

Walking into Moonstruck, the first thing you notice is the Victorian Beach House charm: wraparound porch, three stories, and views of Wesley Lake and Ocean Grove. This LGBTQ-owned spot has been serving Mediterranean-American fusion since 1995. Dinner entrees include eggplant fries, falafel, fried artichoke, and a variety of pastas. The wine list is extensive, and the full bar turns out well-crafted cocktails.

Regulars know to ask for the porch on a nice day or evening. Avoid tables near the staircases, which see constant traffic. The seafood specials are a standout. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 4pm, it's a reliable go-to for upscale dining without pretension.

“An Asbury Park Winner”

It's our default spot when we can't decide where else to eat because the food is consistently excellent and the staff is welcoming. If the weather is nice, get a table on the wrap-around porch. Otherwise, stay away from the staircases since there's always people going up and down. The seafood specials are outstanding.
