Salt Water Beach Cafe

This is the Salt Water Beach Cafe on the newly renovated boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It used to be a Howard Johnsons. Now it is an interesting landmark placed near The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, The Paramount Theatre, Madame Marie’s, Casino Pier, and The Stone Pony, where legends Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi have appeared. While it is called a Cafe, this interesting landmark serves gourmet fare. My meal included petite heirloom tomato and house-made mozzerella, ancho-chili spice shrimp, NJ picked strawberry salad, beer braised short ribs (to die for) and white chocolate tart. The ribs were so outstanding that every time I have ribs, for the rest of my life, I will think back to that moment when I ate them here. On top of all of that, there is the view of a fine piece of Jersey Shore.
