We won’t be back. Last year we came and we remembered our experience being so wonderful. A great pretzel, kind service and many beers to choose from. Tonight we were the only group at the bar. Only draft beers available and it was a smaller selection than remembered. The bartender seemed to be more preoccupied with cleaning than having more than a two word interaction with us the entire time we were here. We came early. Nachos were burnt and tasted of metal, port wine burger was very under seasoned and cheesesteak shouldn’t be on the menu if it’s that underwhelming. We eat out a lot, we all have worked in restaurants for years. It seemed the staff was more interested in having shift drinks i...
Great spot in point right by the train tracks ample parking across the street if the small lot is full. Atmosphere here is everything it reminds me of a dimly lit tavern. Benches are covered in hand carved names and the mugs hanging from the ceiling are fun to look at. Bar is small but they have tons of beer offerings with many local IPAs present. Menu is great with plenty of weekly specials and I hear the seafood is top notch. Brussel sprouts app is huge! It could almost be a meal in itself. Pretzel app is big and hot and the cheese sauce is good wish there were some other dipping sauces! Calamari was good but the onion soup broth was a little lacking I would not order that next time. Overa...
My family and I absolutely love The Ark. One time many years ago we wanted to find a local place to support off the boardwalk. The food is great!!! I would highly recommend the Guinness burger. It has been my go to meal there. They have a huge selection of draft beer. The menu has a variety of burgers and very fresh seafood. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy a nice meal after a day at the shore or out in the water do not pass this up. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking is across the street next to the Ark sign. You will not be disappointed.
I tried a Guinness and the Cod Fingers as a starter, which was a new experience for me as someone who loves fish. For my main course, I had the White Wine Cheddar Cheese Burger, which was a bit messy with all the onions but was a hearty and satisfying meal that I needed that night. I decided to try this restaurant based on my colleague's recommendation, and I was happy to have found a place where I could relax and enjoy a good meal.
I look forward to returning to The Ark soon to try more of their menu, especially another burger. Can't wait for my next visit!

Came here incredibly hungry and excited to get some food in us. We had the caesar salad and some burger that was apparently voted the best in the Jersey shore ? . Despite being incredibly hungry, our food was incredibly average tasting. The caesar dressing didn’t taste like caesar dressing and the burger was super bland and came with a strange red cheese that just tasted like a kraft single. A fast food burger would have been better. We didn’t really interact with our waitress and she only checked up on us once. I’d go elsewhere.
It was one of my favorites for fresh fish. This night it was disappointing. Fish was fresh but the cooking was not great. Cod always one of our favorites was bland at best and much smaller than in the past. They also changed the rice which is not very good . Tuna was very good but cold you would think searing it that it would at least be warm but it was not. Coleslaw is as great as ever. Maybe Monday was an off night. Service was also off started great then limited check ins. Will give it another try after labor day.
I have been a regular customer at this restaurant for a few years now. I always order the port wine burger with onion rings. My friends and I used to drive over an hour to have lunch here a few times a year. However, after my recent visit, I will not be making the long drive again. The entire meal was disappointing, especially the onion rings. They used to have the best homemade onion rings, but now they serve a frozen and inedible version. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience at the restaurant.
Long time establishment in Point Pleasant. Very friendly service and great food. Seafood selections were good all around. We had a small birthday lunch and they accommodated us well for 9 people on the bottom floor. They have an upstairs for bigger parties. Definitely stop in. They have apparel for sale as well.

This pub has a lot of charm and character. We were amazed that we had never been here before. It is definitely a great spot to relax with some drinks. The food was decent, and we are excited to return in the future.
