Drew's Bayshore Bistro - KEYPORT

Fantastic. Crowded. Noisy. Worth it. Creative menu. Great food. Bob.

I have heard about this restaurant for many years, but this was my first time visiting. My dining partner and I did not have a reservation, but we lucked out by securing the last two counter seats overlooking the kitchen. I did not know that it was BYOB, so I didn't take advantage of that. I preferred to taste more menu items rather than get an entree. The soup du jour was a savory sweet potato bisque with chopped pecans and dried cranberries. It was well-seasoned and almost had a little kick to it. This soup pumped life into my chilled, rainy autumn night bones. Next, I had the local beet salad with multicolored beets, soft goat cheese, pickled red onions, and maple-cider vinaigrette. The flavors were balanced perfectly and I was so pleased I had ordered it. I also had the pulled pork mac n cheese, which was also very good. My partner had a house salad, and he enjoyed it. I was fairly jealous of the person dining to my left, as she was served two decadent looking desserts. I definitely want to return another time to sample more items. My compliments to the chef!

First time going to Drew's. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant had a fun and friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

The food and service are The Best on the Jersey Shore.

Delicious appetizers and entrées. Voodoo shrimp and duck wings were to die for! Love that the menu changes seasonally as well. Byob makes it even better! Call for a reservation right now....you won't regret it!
