709 Point Beach - POINT PLEASANT BEACH

Everything was great. best calamari I had for a long time. slowly boiled pig and halibut were excellent.

The new menu was fabulous. we went to the jubilee. our waiter justin was wonderful. he took time to explain menu points with us and to conduct a nice conversation.

Sushi was delicious, but I felt it was overpriced and the service was terrible. it was not busy and we waited for half an hour for two rolls.

We 've been going to 709 for many years, and go there quite often . service is always good, but the food has been hit or miss for the past year. they closed down and reevaluated their menu and staff. the new staff is excellent, as was the old. we have decided to continue to support 709 during their transition. Saturday 's dinner was just not prepared to my liking. my fillet was medium well, when i asked for medium rare. the server was excellent, and tried everything to accomodate my requests. no fault of her own. but, the chefs should pay better attention to what they are cooking. the sushi chefs also need to check the freshness of the fish they are serving. the usually red tuna was gray. we tried a piece each, and decided not to eat it, and it was then off our bill. 709 was the place to grab a great meal.... look at my other reviews. not too sure anymore.

Loved the shrimp with grits and andouille sausage Yummy
