Iron Whale - Asbury Park

Great location even after the summer season was over. Food and service was great.

Char broiled oysters were great All apps and entrees where outstanding

We have been to Iron Whale before and usually very good. It has been awhile, and this time I would say for the price, it was just good. Service was outstanding and love the location on the ocean, but the food not as good as I would expect. My beet salad which I always love here was way over dressed and hard to eat. Next time I will ask for dressing on side. Halibut special was tasty but dry. Risotto seafood special was a great option to offer. Risotto and scallops were delicious but lobster was dry and very tough and muscles tasted off as they often do, clams would have been better in that recipe. Wine options are good but small pours. : I would try here again, but at this price there are many other options in the area that are very good. Maybe it was just an off night. Will try again some other time.

We had an excellent dinner service. James, our server, was outstanding. Jack-one of the mangers, went out of the way to help us secure a future reservation for a celebration The food drinks were great

A quiet Thursday , last minute dinner out. Iron Whale was perfect and food was good. However, the Moules Frites were served with French fries directly on top. As a result, they were soggy within minutes and inedible. Mussels were tasty but could have used a piece of bread for the sauce. On the other hand, my husband's crab cakes were delicious and hit the spot. It's the small details that make a difference and we certainly will return.
