It's been a while...
Like most people living at the Jersey Shore our family has been dealing with the aftermath of Superstorm / Hurricane Sandy. The storm brought most people a lot of issues. For us, Sandy delivered a 5 month house guest. The first day of clean up was long. After about 12 hours of pulling housewares, furniture, carpet and mementos from the cold damp muck of my mother-in-law's home, we came home with her, and a couple of family volunteers from NY all tired and hungry. After our showers, it was late! I really didn't have the energy to whip up a dinner for 5 emotionally and physically exhausted adults especially knowing that the next day was going to be more of the same labor. I called Shore Fire Grille for some take-out and boy was I happy to hear that perky voice on the other end of the phone.
Shore Fire Grille is a great spot, it was only fitting to be one of the first meals out to eat after my house guest was safely back in her own home. As usual we were greeted with a smile. The specials board is written in chalk above the bar that frames the open kitchen. You see your meal being cooked to order, fresh right in front of you. That might be entertainment enough for foodies. The atmosphere is causal and fun. The music is loud enough to enjoy, but you can still have a great conversation. Since SFG is BYOB, you can bring your favorite wine or brew to compliment their menu. The staff is super friendly and you never feel rushed, it's more like going over to an old friend's house.
Tonight we chose the crab quesadillas from the specials board - they were even better then they sounded! The Mr. had tuna kabobs that were so tasty, I didn't get a chance to photograph them prior to eating. I had the sushi burger and it was fantastic. The sweet and spicy combo of the dressing combined with the perfectly seared tuna was just amazing. I passed on traditional dessert and opted for something unusual, an appetizer - fried pickles. They were SO good.
Be shore to follow them on facebook - they are always posting community news and specials like their bag of donuts - YUM!
