When I use words like “breathtaking” and “enchanting,” I try not to do so lightly. I really want you to be wowed, and I’m quite sure I’ve found a restaurant that will wow you. The second I saw it, I was drawn in. It didn’t disappoint. Among the most romantic restaurants in New Jersey, this upscale eatery is a treasure waiting to be discovered.
Charlie’s of Bay Head is an award-winning eatery, and exquisite in every way.

Last but not least, drinks. They’ve got 20 beers on tap, featuring some of the best local brews. When it comes to cocktails, try the “Rose Sangria” or “Mint to Be.” Wine lover? They’ve got the finest from California and across the world.

Waterfront views, a mouthwatering menu, delectable drinks and desserts…what more could you ask for? Events! They’ve always got something special going on for the holidays (build your own margaritas for Cinco Dy Mayo), and larger celebrations…like wine and whiskey dinners. They sell out, so you’ll want to check their website regularly for dates/details.
