Judy and Harry's in New Jersey

"Judy & Harry’s absolutely blew me away. Every single dish was to die for. We had the Arugula and Artichoke Salad and Judy’s Matzo Ball Soup to start. For a mid-course, we shared the Roasted Squash Ravioli with brown butter, sage, and amaretti crumbs. We also had “Costolette”, St. Louis pork ribs with white balsamic truffle glaze. For our main courses, we had the Chicken Savoy, and “Girello”, balsamic skirt steak, sides of “schmaltz” potatoes, and broccoli rabe—and somehow it just kept getting better with every plate. Every dish had incredible flavor and I enjoyed the finer details of each plate. They also have an extensive drink menu and I enjoyed a Bianco Spritz! Dessert was unreal: “The Sundae” made of Oreo brittle gelato, chocolate sorbetto and brownies, as well as a malted coffee gelato on the side. I’m still thinking about it. Beyond the food, the service was incredible. Our servers Megan and Kathy were absolute gems—so warm, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel personalized and special. The space itself feels intimate yet big, inviting, warm, and cozy all at once. From start to finish, everything was amazing. Kudos to Chef David Viana! An unforgettable meal with an awesome team behind it. Can’t wait to come back!"

"Went here with some reservations; wasn't a huge fan of the former restaurant. However, Judy's is great! Amazing matzoh ball soup and a great steak, followed by the chocolate budino. Great Non-Alc drink selection as well. My husband had the fluke piccata and the salad. Cannot wait to go back!"

"We went to Judy and Harry’s for our anniversary last night. Wow, what a place. Really two places. Up front is the dark, elegant, Harry’s Bar with outstanding cocktails and a relaxing comfortable darkly lit space. If weather is nice there’s a big porch with comfortable seating outside but inside is chic and stylish. Then for dinner there is Judy’s. It’s fantastic. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and hip and cool. The space is beautiful, bright and airy, with plenty of space between tables and options to sit at the bar there or at another kind of bar in front of the chef’s working in the open kitchen (chef’s counter). The options are all made clear on Resy when making reservations. All are good, tables most intimate. The food was the standout, everything fresh, creative, and delicious. New favorite in Asbury Park. Owners Nelly and David are popular with their staff, often present though they own other excellent restaurants, and they’re very involved in a good way which is a sign of a well run place that cares for it’s team. It really shows. Outstanding place for dinner!"

"This was our first time back to The St. Laurent since Heirloom turned into Judy's and we were not disappointed! I'm gluten free and had no shortage of options to choose from on the menu. My husband and I split the octopus, pork ribs, lumache pasta and skirt steak (plus a side of schmaltz potatoes) and everything was delicious. Special shout out to the gluten free pasta they used in the lumache (so much better than I was expecting!) and the schmaltz potatoes (perfectly crispy on the outside and so creamy on the inside). We'll be back again and again."

"I’ve been to Judy and Harry’s several times already and for the most part the food has been OUTSTANDING especially the pasta dishes! My favorite dishes have been the chopped salad, the chicken & broccoli gnudi, butternut Squash ravioli, and ricotta ravioli. My husband and I each ordered the butternut squash ravioli tonight, and we both thought it was just AMAZING! We love starting with the chopped salad and it’s large enough to share. My husband had the fluke on our last visit and thought it was very good. The one dish I was disappointed with was the halibut al cacciatore. Even though the flavor was good the halibut piece I received was far too small and thin to be enjoyed. I wish the ravioli dishes were a bit larger too, but they are just too delicious not to order. Desserts have all been amazing here, especially the cannoli semifreddo I had last month. The salted caramel gelato is also exceptional! The olive oil and pumpkin cheesecake we had tonight were excellent, but the pumpkin cheesecake was too small. I was jealous of the nice piece of olive cake my husband had. The service is exceptional, and the staff is extremely nice. I’ve added this restaurant to my rotation of restaurants I’ll frequently visit because it’s just that good! I highly recommend Judy and Harry’s in Asbury Park!"

"Suzanna was an amazing waitress—super kind, friendly, and very accommodating. She took great care of us the whole time. We had the chicken parm, lumache, focaccia bread, and meatballs, and everything was delicious. Really great food and great service."

"This place is amazing! We went to Harry's first for a great cocktail. Louis did a great job informative and made a great drink. We then went to our table which was actually the chef's counter, the only mistake was sitting there. Gave us some buyer's remorse when it came to our choices but when it's all said and done our choices were excellent and now we want to go back again. We started off with the fluke crudo the focaccia and the octopus appetizer. For entrees I had the skirt steak and my lady had the pasta with shrimp and crab. Everything was amazing."
