Awful! We made reservations on the patio yesterday for 5:15 right after the races were over. They sat us on the patio that was covered with Lantern Flies. Within minutes, one landed on my head and several were on and under our table. We asked, along with another table that was seated next to us, if we could go inside. They said no. The other table left. We then asked if we could sit on the other side of the patio away from the side of the building that was covered with the Lantern Flies. They still said no. Not only did they say no, my husband caught the hostesses mocking us because we had asked for another table. When we first complained, the waiter told us that when he was setting up the p...
We can’t say enough about the ambiance, food, wait staff, owner and manager…. Most especially the hospitality. We just got engaged and this was our first dinner out. Casey the manager brought us out numerous appetizers and glasses or champagne. He even sat down at our table to talk with us. We have never had an experience at a restaurant like we did here. I’ll tell you, it’s simply because Casey. He is the epitome of class, friendship, hospitality and respect. We can’t thank you enough!! We love you Casey!!!! Our serve Liz was amazing as well!!!!! The absolute best!!
6 of us sat in one of the big booths in the taverna. It was quieter than the main dining area, so we could hear. Everything we had was from the Jersey Shore restaurant week special menu, and we had everything on it. ALL was perfectly done presented.Notable was the hot mozzarella with fig jam speck and the branzino. Our wait staff was excellent, especially Liz, who took great care to follow up on allergies and refreshed drinks several times.
Service was great but the food was disappointing. For $34 I got lemons sole franchises-2 small pieces of fish and 3 spears of broccoli. I walked out hungry. The sole was strangely sweet and I didn’t taste any lemon. My husband had veal Marsala-and it was chewy. Pretty place but they need to step up the food quality for the price.

Meals were pricey . Atmosphere was great . The steak we ordered for $52 was terrible They took it off the bill. we then went downstairs to the Beer Garden. that was a blast . They had a live band and the bar tenders were fantastic. Definitely returning to the Beer Garden but probably not the the Grotto.
Great place to hang for the summer. They have nice music lineups on Thursdays, all summer. I didn't try the food, but plan on going back soon. So I can't comment about the food or service at this time.
This place is awesome the band is great... service is good as is the food ...wings, the classic sausage and peppers sub, great apps and of course burgers...Go early get a table...
The Blu Grotto is so much fun. Great live entertainment, fresh sushi, pizza and drinks by friendly bartenders. The perfect Summer go-to spot at the Shore.
